Terms and conditions

1. Who we are

Political Idioms is the trading name used for this online store. For returns, written complaints and legal correspondence, write to Political Idioms, 86–90 Paul Street, London EC2A 4NE. You can also contact us at [email protected].

2. Placing an order

Adding items to your basket and completing checkout is an offer to buy. A contract is formed when we send your order confirmation email. If we cannot fulfil an order we will tell you and refund you in full.

3. Prices and payment

• All prices are in pounds sterling and are the final product prices. Any USD figure shown on the site is an estimate only. Political Idioms is not VAT registered.
• Standard UK delivery is free on every order. USA orders have a flat £15.99 shipping charge added at checkout.
• Checkout is processed in pounds sterling. Your card provider sets the final exchange rate and may charge its own currency-conversion fee.
• Payment is taken at checkout by Stripe. We never see or store your card details.
• If a price is listed incorrectly we will contact you before proceeding and you may cancel.

4. Made to order

Items are produced after your order is placed, which is why delivery takes seven to ten days in the UK or ten to sixteen days in the USA. This does not affect your statutory rights, which are set out in our returns policy.

5. Delivery

We deliver within the United Kingdom and the United States only. Risk passes to you on delivery. Timings are estimates and not guarantees, though we will always tell you if something has slipped. See the delivery page for detail.

6. Returns and cancellation

Your rights are set out in full on the returns page, which forms part of these terms and includes a standard cancellation form. Returns go to our UK address from both countries, and unless an item is faulty or wrongly supplied you pay the cost of sending it back.

7. Accounts

You do not need an account to order. If you create one, keep your password confidential and tell us immediately if you think it has been compromised. We may suspend an account that is being used unlawfully.

8. Colours and descriptions

We photograph products as accurately as we can, but screens vary and natural fibres take dye differently between batches. Slight variation is not a fault.

9. Intellectual property

All designs, graphics, photography and text on this site belong to us or our licensors and may not be reproduced without permission.

10. Liability

We do not exclude liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be excluded. Otherwise our liability is limited to the value of your order. Nothing here affects your statutory rights as a consumer under the Consumer Rights Act 2015.

11. Governing law

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and disputes are subject to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of its courts.

12. Changes

We may update these terms. The version in force when you place an order is the one that applies to it.
