1. The Binding Contract between You and Us
By placing an order, you are offering to purchase a product on and subject to the following terms and conditions. All orders are subject to availability and confirmation of the order price. Dispatch times, which are communicated clearly on Little Lion Press, may vary according to availability and subject to any delays resulting from postal delays or force majeure for which we will not be responsible. These terms and conditions apply only if you are buying products on our site as a consumer (ie for purposes outside of your business, craft or profession).
The buyer is responsible for any import taxes imposed by their home country. Please take these fees into account when buying. Customers located in a country within the United Kingdom will not incur any import fees. Outside of the United Kingdom, you will need to look up the import duty threshold and rates for your country to determine if and how much you will pay in VAT/duty/handling fees.
In order to contract with Little Lion Press you must be over 18 years of age or have parental permission and possess a valid credit or debit card issued by a bank acceptable to us. Little Lion Press retains the right to refuse any request made by you. If your order is accepted, we will inform you by email and we will confirm the identity of the party, which you have contracted with. This will usually be Little Lion Press or may in some cases be a third party. Where a contract is made with a third party, Little Lion Press is not acting as either agent or principal and the contract is made between yourself and that third party and will be subject to the terms of sale which they supply you. When placing an order, you undertake that all details you provide to us are true and accurate, that you are an authorised user of the credit or debit card used to place your order and that there are sufficient funds to cover the cost of the goods. The cost of foreign products and services may fluctuate. All prices advertised are subject to such changes.
2. Information we give you
a. By law, the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 say that we must give you certain key information before a legally binding contract between you and us is made. If you want to see this key information, please:
i. read the key rights summary at the beginning of these Terms and Conditions on Purchase; or
ii. contact us using the contact details at the top of these Terms.
b. The key information we give you by law forms part of this contract (as though it is set out in full here).
c. If we have to change any key information once a legally binding contract between you and us is made, we can only do this if you agree to it.
3. Service Pricing & Availability
Our site is only intended for use by people residing in all countries that are available in the list of countries to choose from during the checkout process. We do not accept orders from individuals that reside in a country that is not present in the list.
Whilst we try and ensure that all details, descriptions and prices which appear on this Website are accurate, errors may occur. If we discover an error in the price of any goods which you have ordered we will inform you of this as soon as possible and give you the option of reconfirming your order at the correct price or cancelling it. If we are unable to contact you, we will treat the order as cancelled. Delivery and handling costs will be charged in addition; such additional charges are clearly displayed where applicable and included in the ‘Total Cost’.
4. Your Status

· you are legally capable of entering into this binding contract;
· you are at least 18 years old or have the consent from your parent or guardian to place the order; and
· you are resident in one of the Serviced Countries.
5. Our Contract
When you place an order at the end of the online checkout process (eg “subscribe and/or place order” button), you will receive an acknowledgement e-mail confirming receipt of your order: This email will only be an acknowledgement and will not constitute acceptance of your order. A legally binding contract between us will not be formed until we send you confirmation by e-mail that the box (or item), which you ordered has been dispatched to you (Shipping Confirmation).
We may contact you to say that we do not accept your order. This is typically for the following reasons:
· the product(s) are unavailable;
· we cannot authorise your payment;
· you are not allowed to buy the products from us;
· we are not allowed to sell the products to you;
· you have ordered too many products; or
· there has been a mistake on the pricing or description of the item.
The Contract will relate only to those Products whose dispatch we have confirmed in the Dispatch Confirmation. We will not be obliged to supply any other Products which may have been part of your order until the dispatch of such Products has been confirmed in a separate Dispatch Confirmation.
6. Payment
Upon receiving your order, we carry out a standard authorisation check on your payment card to ensure there are sufficient funds to fulfil the transaction. For “Single Purchase” and “Merchandise” orders your card will be debited upon authorisation being received. The payment received upon the debiting of your card shall be treated as a deposit against the value of the goods you wish to purchase. Once the goods have been despatched and you have been sent a confirmation email the monies paid as a deposit shall be used as consideration for the value of goods you have purchased as listed in the confirmation email. If your payment is not received by us and you have already received the goods, you must:
· pay for such goods as soon as possible and in any case within 5 days; or
· return them to us as soon as possible and in any case within 30 days. If so, you must keep the goods in your possession, take reasonable care of them (including ensuring that you follow any instructions or manuals given with the goods) and not use them before you return them to us.
If you do not pay for the goods and fail to return them in accordance with the above, we may collect the goods from you at your expense. We will try to contact you to let you know if we intend to do this.
Nothing in this clause affects your legal rights to cancel the contract during the cancellation period as set out in clause 7.
We may offer gift cards, discount promotions and other types of voucher (Voucher) which require to be activated by email application in order for the holder to commence delivery of Products through a Service. If paid for, the Voucher is deemed to have been sold at the time of payment for it. All of these terms and conditions shall become applicable as between us and the holder of the Voucher (Holder) when the Holder redeems the Voucher by applying for a Service to commence.
7. Cancellation
You have the right to cancel this contract within 24 hours without giving any reason. The cancellation period will expire after 24 hours from the day on which you first place the order. To exercise the right to cancel, you must inform us ( E-Mail-Address: jasminacoric@littlelionpress.co.uk ) of your decision to cancel this contract by a clear statement (e-mail) or by using the model cancellation form at the end of these terms.
To meet the cancellation deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right to cancel before the cancellation period has expired.
If you cancel this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery.
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than - (a) 14 days after the day we receive back from you any goods supplied (to our address as detailed at the beginning of these Terms), or (b) (if earlier) 14 days after the day you provide evidence that you have returned the goods, or (c) if there were no goods supplied, 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to deactivate this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of the reimbursement. We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
8. Availability & Delivery
Your order will be fulfilled by the estimated delivery date set out in the Shipping Confirmation or Product Description or, if no delivery date is specified, then within 30 days of the date of the Shipping Confirmation, unless there are exceptional circumstances.
Unless you and we agree otherwise, if we cannot deliver your goods within 30 days of the date of the Shipping Confirmation, we will let you know, cancel your order; and give you a refund.
Delivery will be completed when our authorised courier company, deliver the Products to the shipping address you supplied to us during your order process. If no one is available at your address to take delivery, our authorised courier company, will follow the delivery instructions provided to us by you. If no leave safe instructions are specified, the order will be left in an area that the authorised courier company considers safe, or left at a local post office to be picked up by you.
The leave safe location specified by you shall be within the area of the delivery address and shall be accessible to the courier. We will endeavour to follow any delivery instructions you provide but this cannot be guaranteed.
Little Lion Press’ obligation to deliver the box (parcel) shall be fulfilled once the courier delivers the box (parcel) at the safe spot specified by you or the box (parcel) is considered safe by the courier.
If the personal handover of the box (parcel) is not possible and no leave safe is available, we may also deliver the box (parcel) to a nearby household or business. A household or business shall be regarded ‘nearby’ if the recipient resides in the same building as the original addressee. In addition, the box (parcel) may also be delivered to a recipient residing in proximate walking distance to the delivery address (e.g. same housing complex, building on the opposite side of the street, next-door building). All aforementioned nearby households and businesses are subsequently referred to as “neighbours”.
The customer will be notified of such delivery to a neighbour by delivery notice from the authorised mailing company.
If neither a personal handover nor a delivery to a neighbour is possible, you will be in default of acceptance.
Little Lion Press will not attempt a further delivery. You are obliged to bear all expenses related to aforesaid default of acceptance.
9. Delivery Risk
Once the delivery is completed, according to the preceding paragraph (i.e. accepted by customer, left in a safe spot as specified by the customer or considered safe by authorised courier company, or delivered to a neighbour if no leave safe is provided or available) the risk of any damage or loss of the box will be with the customer. Little Lion Press shall not be held liable for any damage, defect or loss which may occur thereafter.
You are fully responsible for any damages or losses due to any ambiguity regarding the safe spot specified by you. Little Lion Press is not obliged to review the safe spot as to its general suitability.
Refusal of the box (parcel) does not negate the charge, Little Lion Press will not be liable for any losses sustained by the customer relating to a refusal of delivery by our authorised courier company.
10. Price and Payment
The price of the Products and our delivery charges will be as quoted on our site from time to time, except in cases of obvious error.

Payment for all Products and Services must be by credit or debit card. We accept payment with Visa, Mastercard and American Express.

15. Little Lion Press
If any part of the Terms of Service is unenforceable (including any provision in which we exclude our liability to you) the enforceability of any other part of the Terms of Service will not be affected all other clauses remaining in full force and effect. So far as possible where any clause/sub-clause or part of a clause/sub-clause can be severed to render the remaining part valid, the clause shall be interpreted accordingly. Alternatively, you agree that the clause shall be rectified and interpreted in such a way that closely resembles the original meaning of the clause /sub-clause as is permitted by law.
16. Complaints
