3. Placing an order
3.1 A notice will be displayed on your web browser before you submit an order with elephantliving.com (“the Pre-contract Notice”). The Pre-contract Notice contains important information such as a description, price (including export taxes) and delivery charges of the good or services ordered. elephantliving.com suggests that you print off a hard copy of the notice or save a copy to your hard drive for your own records.

3.2 elephantliving.com will not be obliged to supply the goods or services submitted in your order until you have received an e-mail from elephantliving.com accepting your order (“Order Confirmation”). However, in the event the goods or services are listed on elephantliving.com’s site at an incorrect price due to typographical error or error in pricing information received from its suppliers but elephantliving.com have accepted your order before the discrepancy is noticed, elephantliving.com shall e-mail you to ask whether you are willing to pay the correct price for the goods or services ordered. If you are unwilling to pay the correct price elephantliving.com reserves the right to cancel the contract immediately without any liability to you.

3.3 [If elephantliving.com exercises its right under clause 3.2 to cancel a contract it will immediately issue a credit to your debit or credit card account if it has already made a charge to your card before cancelling your order.] OR [elephantliving.com will not charge your debit or credit card until the goods are dispatched to you or it has commenced performance of the services sold to you.]

3.4 [In the event that the goods ordered by you are not available elephantliving.com reserves the right to provide you with goods of a similar quality and specification and will inform you of such in the Order Confirmation.]

4. Right to cancel
4.1 You have the right to cancel any contract either:

4.1.1 within seven days from the date of delivery if elephantliving.com has supplied goods to you; or

4.2 The cancellation notice should be sent by e-mail to elephantliving.com at orders@elephantliving.com and must state your name, a description of the goods or services concerned and the order number of the cancelled contract.

4.3 Where elephantliving.com have supplied goods to you, you must take reasonable care of the goods in your possession pending their return to elephantliving.com. elephantliving.com will only accept the returned goods in their original packaging and which do not exhibit signs of wear or tear.
