Pricing policy
Prices shown on the site are in GBP and are inclusive of VAT at the applicable UK rate.
Whilst we can ship worldwide, Ondine.com will only be able to charge you the items purchased and delivery cost.

We recommend you contact your local customs authority to determine a landed cost price prior to completing your orders for delivery outside of the UK.
If you are a customer whose credit/debit card is not denominated in £ Sterling, the final price will be calculated in accordance with the applicable exchange rate on the day your card issuer processes the transaction.
Acceptance of your order
Once you have placed your order, you will receive an email acknowledging the details of your order. This email is NOT an acceptance of your order, just a confirmation that we have received it.
Unless you cancel your order, acceptance of your order and completion of the contract between you and Ondine will be completed when we email you to confirm the goods have been dispatched. The sale contract between you and Ondine is concluded in London, England and the language of the contract is English.
We reserve the right not to accept your order in the event, for example, that we are unable to obtain authorization for payment, or that the item ordered is out of stock or does not satisfy our quality control standards and is withdrawn. Or that we suspect fraudulent order being placed on the Site.
We may also refuse to process and therefore accept a transaction for any reason or refuse service to anyone at any time at our sole discretion. We will not be liable to you or any third party by reason of our withdrawing any merchandise from the Site whether or not that merchandise has been sold, removing, screening or editing any materials or content on the Site, refusing to process a transaction or unwinding or suspending any transaction after processing has begun.
Whilst every effort is made to make sure details on our website are accurate, we may from time to time discover an error in the pricing of products. If we discover an error in the pricing of a product in your order, we will let you know as soon as possible. We shall be under no obligation to accept or fulfil an order for a product that was advertised at an incorrect price and reserve the right to cancel such an order that has been accepted or is in transit. If you order a product that is priced incorrectly for any reason, we will email or telephone you to inform you that we have not accepted your order and/or that the relevant part of your order has been cancelled. If you have already paid for the goods, we shall refund the full amount as soon as we are able.

We take great care to make our Site secure. All credit/debit card transactions on this site are processed via a very reputable payment gateway partner.

Furthermore, we take great care, in so far as it is in our power to do so, to keep the details of your order and payment secure, but in the absence of negligence on our part we cannot be held liable for any loss you may suffer if a third party procures unauthorized access to any data you provide when accessing or ordering from the Site.
Promotion codes
Promotion codes are non-transferable and there is no cash alternative. Furthermore, they cannot be used in conjunction with any other promotion code or offers, and must be redeemed by the date published, if provided.
Insurance and delivery
You will own the goods on and from the later of the point in time when: (a) we receive payment in full, or (b) we deliver the goods to you.
Ondine insures each purchase during the time it is in transit until it is delivered to your specified delivery address. We require a signature for any goods delivered, at which point responsibility for your purchased goods passes to you. If you have specified a recipient who is not you for delivery purposes (for example as a gift) then you accept that evidence of a signature by them (or at that delivery address) is evidence of delivery and fulfilment by Ondine, and transfer of responsibility in the same way. The goods are your responsibility from the time we deliver them to the address you gave us.
On occasion, our courier provider may refuse to deliver your order if they are of the opinion that the shipping address is considered to be unsafe. If that is the case, we will contact you directly.
Please note that we aim to dispatch all verified orders (subject to no payment issues, no stock issues, no sign of being a fraudulent order) within 24 hours, or 48 hours during weekends and national holidays. Delivery times appearing on the site are estimates and are to be used as a guide only and commence from the date of dispatch. Ondine is not responsible for any delays caused by destination customs clearance processes.
If delivery is delayed by any event outside of our control, we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and we will take steps to minimise the effect of the delay. Provided we do this, we will not be liable for delays caused by the event, but if there is a risk of substantial delay you may contact us to cancel your order and we will give you a refund for any goods you have paid for but not received.
See our delivery charges in the SHIPPING section.
