Terms of Business
All details of business terms, prices & descriptions of items offered for sale in this shop are current, subject to change without prior notice & replace any previously advertised details.

Our Guarantee
All items advertised on this web site are of original period manufacture unless stated otherwise. We offer a money back guarantee on all of the goods supplied subject to the terms listed below.

1. Should you be unhappy with any item purchased, you should contact us by e mail within 7 days of receipt of the goods. The item can then be returned to us, provided that it is in the condition as sent, for a full refund of the purchase price. If an item is not notified to us within this time, it will be considered as being sold. We regret that postage costs are not refundable
2. This refund offer does not apply to any goods purchased in error (including errors in translation of the text of this web site to another language), on the behalf of a third party, nor to goods that have been damaged, disassembled or tampered with after purchase.
3. We supply items for collector's display purposes only & such items are not intended for actual wear or use. We do not guarantee the fitting of any clothing, footwear or headgear, nor their suitability for being worn.
4. The responsibility lies with the customer to ensure that any goods ordered are allowed to be imported into your country. If an item has to be returned because it cannot be imported to your country, we can offer other goods to the same value in exchange, less any return postage & import costs incurred by us, but are unable to give a refund.
5. Any returned items paid for via Paypal will be refunded via Paypal in sterling.

Acknowledgment & Acceptance of Orders
No contract will exist between you and us until we have received full payment from you and have dispatched the ordered products. Please note that our initial acknowledgment of your order does not constitute acceptance of that order. You may also receive a payment acknowledgment email from Paypal, this again does not constitute acceptance of that order.

Should we, for any reason, decide not to accept your order we will advise you accordingly and any monies paid will be refunded.

Availability of Goods
This web site is designed to show only items of stock that are still available for sale, but it is still remotely possible that an item could be sold during your visit to the web site. In the unlikely event that an item has been sold by the time that you place your order, we will inform you by return e-mail.

Delivery Charges
All orders are subject to a delivery, packing & handling charge. The correct charges will be automatically calculated via our shopping basket ordering system and are based on the total weight of your order, your location and our normal method of dispatch. However, The Historic Flying Clothing Company reserves the right to surcharge any orders that are of extreme weight outside the pre-computed weight tables loaded into the web site or that require higher levels of insurance.

Orders valued at £46 and under will usually be sent by Royal Mail 1st class post within the UK or via standard "Small Packet" airmail to overseas destinations. A certificate of posting will be obtained. Orders valued over £46 will usually be sent by Royal Mail Special Delivery, Insured Parcel Post, "Airsure" airmail, "International Signed For" airmail, International Parcel Post, FedEx or DHL. We will select the most appropriate service available but advise that the customer should satisfy themselves as to the method of dispatch and level of insurance required.

Insurance
Although we offer a world wide export scheme, and trust & rely on the various delivery systems used to work properly, it must be understood that items are sent entirely at the customer's own risk. We will package the items well to prevent damage, and obtain all relevant despatch documents etc, but in the event of a parcel being lost in transit we will not be liable for such a loss.

Items are sent with a basic level of insurance.

• 1st class and "small packet" airmail items are insured to £46
• Special Delivery and "International Signed For" items are usually insured upto £500
• International Parcel Force items are normally insured upto £100 only. Higher insurance levels are available but will incur additional charges to those automatically calculated on the website. Once over £200 these charges rise steeply
• Please note that some countries have lower insurance limits than others and in some cases it may not be possible to fully insure goods purchased.

Additional insurance, up to £2500 is available in some circumstances. Please contact us for a quote if this is required. Extra insurance will be charged at cost.

Terms of Gold, Silver, Bronze etc.
These terms are used to describe the colour finish of the item and do not imply, unless otherwise stated, that the said item is manufactured from that metal.

Telephone Orders
The Historic Flying Clothing Company is happy to take orders and reserve items by telephone. This can be done with cash and cheque payments only. (Orders requiring Paypal / Credit Card payments have to be carried out via our automated online check out system).
Buyer contact details must be supplied with the order, either at the point of order or via email within 24 hours of the order being made, to include an email address, telephone number and first line and post code of a postal address. If no details are given or forwarded, items will not be reserved.

Information Requests
The Historic Flying Clothing Company as a commercial organisation is not in a position to involve itself with appraisals, valuations and general information requests on items owned by site viewers. We will however, on an agreed fee basis give verbal and written valuations/appraisals and technical advice for television, film or theatre productions.

Payment
All payments must be made in British Pounds (££) Sterling. We accept payment via the following methods :

1. Credit card payments via PayPal using our user ID david.farnsworth@virgin.net. This service carries a 3% charge added automatically to your total order value. This charge shows up on your order as 'additional postage'. This is Paypal's method of showing the charge, and is beyond our control to show it in any other way / format. If paypal payments (assuming this is the chosen means of payment) do not accompany an order for what ever reason, the reserved banner on an item will be immediately removed, making it available for re order or purchase again.
2. Cheques (Must be in sterling & drawn on a British bank). Cheques should be made payable to "David Farnsworth" & have your cheque guarantee card number written on the back. We reserve the right to clear cheques through our bank prior to dispatching goods.
