T&Cs

Thank you for visiting Jackson’s Art Supplies website – we hope you enjoy your shopping experience with us. By browsing and purchasing items from this website you are automatically agreeing to the terms and conditions of the site as set out below. We therefore recommend that you read through these and contact us if you have any concerns regarding its content. If you do not agree to these terms and conditions use of our website is not permitted.

Pricing

We work out our prices without VAT. We then add VAT to the cost of items for customers who pay it. This means that some of our prices are rounded to the nearest penny, and that occasionally, when buying large quantities of the same thing, items may appear to be an extra penny or two more expensive. For example, a half pan that retails for 20p including VAT will actually be more like 20.01p. A customer ordering 100 of them will be charged £20.01 as a result. Please contact customer services if your order is affected. Whilst we are unable to change this aspect of our pricing, we will be happy to remove the difference between the displayed price and the real price.

Lowest Prices on the Web Guarantee

At Jackson's we want to ensure that you will always get the best deal on your favourite art supplies. Our team checks hundreds of UK competitor prices weekly, so that we can guarantee the lowest prices. We are happy to match other online retailer’s prices for products we already stock and in most cases we can even match competitors' promotions too.

Suitability for use

Whilst Jackson's take good care to maintain the highest of standards of quality in their products, it is the customers responsibility to ensure that the goods purchased are suitable for their particular requirements and that the goods arrive in an acceptable condition. Many of our products are made from natural substances whose behaviour can vary in different environments. Their structure can also vary according to the process used in their assembly. Jackson's strive to maintain consistency and continuity in these matters and in no circumstances will entertain claims for the value of work alleged to have been adversely affected by use of any our products which prove to be unsatisfactory to the user. Our liability is therefore confined to the value of the goods alone. 

Jackson's Art Supplies will aim to minimise risk of damage to products in transit through wrapping and packing as securely as possible.  There are rare occurrences when damage is incurred to orders in transit, and care must always be take to open parcels so as to avoid spillages, further damage to goods and/or damage to other property (carpets/clothing etc). Damage caused as a result of ill considered parcel-opening methods will not be compensated for by Jackson's Art Supplies.

Reviews

Who are Feefo?
We currently employ an independent review company called Feefo to email customers on our behalf, asking for feedback on both service and the products they have purchased. This is to help us improve customer satisfaction.

How does it work?
Once you place your order with us, Feefo will send you an email, requesting feedback on the products and service you have received from Jackson's Art Supplies. Feefo will not contact you for any other reason. Their role within Jackson's Art Supplies' organisation is one of Data Processor, and as such they have no control over your contact details. Feefo are employed by Jackson's Art Supplies (the Data Controller) to use your contact details solely for the purpose of requesting feedback. Your feedback will appear on the Jackson's Art Supplies section of Feefo.com as well as on Jacksonsart.com (as part of the product information for the product that you have reviewed). All feedback remains anonymous online, although Jackson's staff is able to access your contact details so that they can respond to feedback where necessary.

How can they be trusted with my data?
Feefo are not a third party and have no ownership over the information passed to them. The data remains 100% secure. Feefo work with a large number of highly reputable online stores and have consistently proven to help online stores, including Jackson's Art Supplies, raise their online presence as well as inform customers of the real standard of service and products supplied, as reported by fellow customers with a 100% impartial opinion.

I do not wish to be contacted by Feefo, yet I still wish to buy my art materials from Jackson's. Is this possible?
Yes. There is no obligation to provide feedback - each email they send will invite you to opt out should you wish to.

Order Processing

Contract Creation and electronic contracting 

The technical steps required in creating the contract between you and us are as follows: 
· You place the order for your products on the Website by pressing the confirm order button at the end of the checkout process. You will be guided through the process of placing an order by a series of simple instructions on the Website.  
· We will send to you an order acknowledgement email detailing the products you have ordered.  
· As your product is shipped we will send you a dispatch confirmation email.  
· The completion of the contract between you and us will take place on the dispatch to you of the Products ordered unless we have notified you that we do not accept your order, or you have changed or cancelled the order by contacting us within 24 hours of placing the order. 

Non-acceptance of an order may be a result of one of the following: 
· The product you ordered being unavailable from stock.  
· Our inability to obtain authorisation for your payment.  
· The identification of a pricing or product description error.  
· You not meeting the eligibility to order criteria set out in the main Terms & Conditions. 
All correspondence throughout the order process will be conducted in English. 

Back Orders and Special order items

If your item is not in stock, we will attempt to contact you. Your order may be delayed for up to 48hrs if we are expecting a delivery of the goods to our warehouse. Alternatively, if you wish, the out of stock item will be sent on at a later date, or you may choose an alternate item or it can be cancelled from your order. Out of stock items will be charged for at the time of the submitting of the order (unlike telephone and postal orders), but can be refunded for on request if the delay deems the products in question to be no longer required.

The estimated delivery dates shown on the website are derived from the estimated date of the next delivery due from the manufacturer of the product. This does not guarantee that the manufacturer has sufficient stock of this item and will deliver the item on this date.

Some items listed on our website are marked as ‘special order’ items and such products are not kept at our warehouse/s.  If you choose to purchase one of these items there is likely to be a delay on your whole order until the special order item has arrived from our suppliers. 

If you are looking for an item produced by a manufacturer that supplies other products that are for sale on our website, please get in touch as we may be able to special order the item in for you. 

Reclaiming VAT

When taking goods out of the UK that were purchased for use outside the UK and if the goods leave the country within three months of the purchase, you can claim back the VAT you paid. You pay the VAT, fill out a form you request from us, take the goods through customs at the airport, they inspect the goods and post us back the form. It can take up to three months for them to process the paperwork and send it to us. When we receive the form from them we will refund the VAT. We now charge a £5.00 administration fee for the paperwork for this service. If this pertains to you please ask about this at the time you place an order. 

Returns Policy

We are happy to issue credit notes or refunds for any items with proof of purchase from Jackson’s Art Supplies that are returned in a saleable condition within 28 days of the receipt of your order.  The return of such items is the full responsibility of the customer, and the goods must be securely packaged to ensure that they arrive back to us undamaged.  Short-falls or order errors should be registered within 7 days. 

Receiving Damaged Goods

Jackson's Art Supplies will aim to minimise risk of damage to products in transit through wrapping and packing as securely as possible. There are rare occurrences when damage is incurred to orders in transit. Care should be taken to inspect the package for signs of damage before opening, and care must always be taken to open parcels in appropriate locations so as to avoid spillages, further damage to goods and/or damage to other property (carpets/clothing etc). Jackson’s will replace any goods damaged in transit but will not be held responsible for any secondary damage caused by those goods on arrival.

Damage caused as a result of ill considered parcel-opening methods, such as a long sharp blade through the box packing tape that cuts internal goods, will not be compensated for by Jackson's Art Supplies.

Discounts

We offer discounts for large orders. This is on a case-by-case basis but usually starts when the order reaches £175 and may not include all parts of the order. Teachers, art groups and professional artists often take advantage of this policy. Art groups can club together an order, so long as it is going to a single address in a single box.

Our Loyalty Scheme

To thank you for your custom we have implemented a new loyalty scheme, and it’s now live. Since the summer of 2012 we have been giving points with every order placed, so the good news is that if you have shopped with us since then a token of our gratitude is sitting in your loyalty account waiting to be used. On the website you can see your accumulated points and their value by clicking to view your account details in ‘My Account’. With every £5 you spend with us you will receive 50 points, which amounts to 5p off your next order. You can choose to let the points build up and treat yourself to a free tube of paint, or redeem your points each time you shop. We will run additional points’ related offers and promotions in the future, so look out for these online. Please note that points can only be used once and cannot be exchanged for cash.

Descriptions of Products

We will take all reasonable care to ensure that all details, descriptions and prices of Products appearing on the Website are correct at the time when the relevant information was entered onto the system. Colour swatches that appear online will give a rough indication of the colour of the art supply listed, however due to the differing settings of computer monitors it is impossible to rely 100% on the accuracy of the image as viewed on screen.  It is the risk of the purchaser to order unfamiliar colours, and the costs of any returns are the responsibility of the buyer if the actual colour is not appropriate for the customer's requirements.  Although we aim to keep the Website as up to date as possible, the information including Product Descriptions appearing on this Website at a particular time may not always reflect the position exactly at the moment you place an order. We cannot confirm the price of a Product until your order is accepted by us. We reserve the right to alter prices at any time. In the unlikely event that a price has been entered incorrectly on the website our customer service team will contact you as soon as possible to inform you of the correct price. You are under no obligation to continue with the order.

Gift Vouchers

1. Gift Vouchers can be exchanged for all goods sold by Jackson’s Art Supplies when posted in with an order.

The total will be adjusted manually, in the office before invoicing. 
3. Gift Vouchers may not be exchanged for cash. 
4. If your order’s value is less than the value of the Gift Vouchers you are using as payment, then a credit of the difference will be issued on your account for use as payment on subsequent orders. 
5.  Once you have given us the number of your Gift Voucher in relation to a payment of an order that Gift Voucher has been used and you will not be able to use the voucher again.  For this reason we advise that you destroy all redeemed vouchers to avoid confusion. 
6. If your Gift Vouchers have become accidentally damaged or lost, please contact customer services with details of the original purchase (date/postcode or customer number of purchaser) and we will be able to issue you duplicates. 
7.  If you decide to return the items you purchased with your Gift Vouchers, you will not receive a cash refund.  A credit note will be issued on your account for subsequent orders.  As with all returns, if you received the item in good condition but have changed your mind, it is the responsibility of the customer to secure a safe return and that the item/s is/are received by Jackson’s Art Supplies in a saleable condition.  If a secure return is unsuccessful then you may not receive a full refund/credit for the goods.
