Terms & Conditions
Please read these terms and conditions carefully as they are intended to form the basis of our contract with you. You may wish to keep an electronic or paper copy of them for future reference.
These terms & conditions apply whenever you buy anything from Parrot Supplies.

Nothing said by any salesperson on our behalf should be understood as a variation of these terms and conditions or as an authorised representation about the nature or quality of any goods offered for sale by us.
ACCEPTANCE OF ORDERS
• Full payment is needed at the time of placing the order. We will confirm that your order has been received by sending an email to you at the email address you provide in your order form.Acceptance will be deemed to take place upon dispatch of your order. Our acceptance of your order brings into existence a legally binding contract between us.
• When you order goods or services from us online you are making a legal offer to buy. A contract is only formed when we reply to you to accept your offer, and we will not take payment from you until we have accepted your order. If we do not accept the offer because we are unable to supply the goods or services requested, or for any other reason, we will respond promptly to make you aware, and no charge will be made.
• These contract terms and conditions apply to sales to consumers only – you thereby warrant that you are purchasing goods for your own use, or a gift for another person. Trade Sales are subject to a different set of terms and conditions – please advise if your purchase is to be a business-to-business transaction and we can provide an appropriate set of terms.
OUR PRODUCTS
• Every effort is made to describe products correctly, however in line with continuous improvement there may be amendments made to products from time to time. Where these are more than superficial we will inform you before dispatch of theorder.
• The restrictions of on-line colour replication means that colours on screen may not display totally accurately. Such small variations in colour are not considered material, and therefore small colour variations are not considered to be defects.
• We indicate the type of bird that certain products may suit, however this is for guidance only. It is not a guarantee that it is suitable for the particular bird indicated and purchasers should use their knowledge of the individual bird when making a purchase decision.
• Product dimensions are given to the nearest whole figure; there may be a very small variation particularly where the product is made of natural materials.
• Certain products will be supplied in a flat packed form to minimise postal cost. The on-line description will indicate which products will need some basic assembly before use. We supply full instructions. Purchasers should make sure that they can correctly put the items together – or seek the assistance of a handy friend or neighbour.
• We make every effort to ensure the safety of all items we sellhowever before you introduce your bird we recommend you carefully check it over to be sure. This is particularly important for products that need to be assembled before use.
• We strongly recommend close supervision of birds whilst using any of our products, in particular those containing rope, string, thread, braid, lace, fibres or similar materials.

• Most orders are dispatched the same day and 95% of orders are delivered in 2-3 working days (excluding Saturday, Sunday and bank holidays) however this is an estimate and not a guarantee- large items and some rural areas may take longer than the advertised time. Your parcel will usually arrive by either Royal Mail, DPD, Hermes or Parcelforce, depending on the size and weight of the order.
• If your order contains an item which is currently out of stock but due back in stock over the next few days, we will wait until the whole order can be dispatched together up to a maximum on 30 days from the date when you placed the order. Should an item be particularly urgent please state this at the time of ordering so we can contact you if there is any delay. Where the item is out of stock and not due to arrive in the next 30 days we will inform you so you can decide whether you want to wait, or amend your order.

• Failed deliveries – we share tracking details so that you can see when your order will be delivered. Please make the necessary arrangements for someone to be available to take delivery of the parcel. We regret that failed deliveries will necessitate a return visit by the courier and, where this additional visit is due to no one being available to take delivery of the parcel the additional cost may be charged on top of your order. Please contact us if you have any concerns over the time/day of your scheduled delivery.
• Most UK parcels are sent by Royal Mail, DPD, Hermes, Parcelforce or DX Freight Unfortunately we cannot guarantee a specific time for delivery on the Standard delivery service

WHAT IF THERES A PROBLEM WHEN MY ORDER ARRIVES?
• We want you to be happy with your order and ask that you check it over as soon as it arrives. Let us know without delay if you think that you’ve received the wrong item or anything is damaged. If items are delivered in a damaged condition they must not be used if you intend to return them.
• If the outer packaging is damaged please note that on the courier’s paperwork, take some photos and open to check if the products inside are OK. If not please get in touch with us to make arrangements for their return and replacement or refund. The courier won’t be in a position to simply take them back. You need to take good care of the products while they are in your care.
• We’ll cover the postage/courier cost to return defective items to us. We will check them over and where defects or other errors are confirmed we will contact you to arrange for a repair/replacement or a refund. Where the items are confirmed to be non-defective we can arrange to return them to you if you wish to pay the return postage/courier cost otherwise we can arrange for a refund. The amount of the refund will depend on how soon the goods are returned to us, and will be reduced by the cost of the postage/courier incurred in returning it to us. Refunds may also be reduced if the product isn’t in its original packaging and in resaleable condition.
• If a large item is being collected from the purchasers and we make arrangements for a courier to collect someone must be at the agreed collection address at the appointed time so that the courier can collect the item. Failure to allow the courier to collect the item on the arranged date will require the courier to be rebooked and the additional booking fee will be deducted from any refund given (this is usually £85 plus VAT)
• Goods will generally only be collected from the delivery address, or by negotiation from a friend or neighbour. We cannot arrange for collection or return postage for goods that have subsequently been taken out of the UK.
RIGHT FOR YOU TO CANCEL YOUR CONTRACT
• Your consumer rights allow you to cancel contracts for the purchase of most goods without reason up to 14 days from the day after delivery. This does not apply to custom made, personalised goods or perishable items. DVDs and CDs can only be returned if unopened.

• You will be responsible for the cost of returning the item/s to us. Please note that our delivery charge of £5.99 is a standard fee and may not reflect the actual cost of postage/courier fee. It may therefore cost you more than £5.99 to return the items to us.
• We recommend that you send them with courier tracking and covered by sufficient insurance as we are unable to take responsibility for the package until we have received it.Please obtain proof of posting so that this can be produced in case of any loss or damage in the post.
• All returned goods must be as new, unused and in all their original packaging in order to qualify for a full refund. We recommend that you take special care to repack all items to prevent any damage while they are being returned to us. This might include bubble wrap between panels and secure ties to stop parts from moving. Large parcels should be securely re-taped around the top, bottom and sides, and all open edges sealed so no parts can fall out. We regret that we will have to reduce our refund for any damage incurred to the goods and or their packaging.
• Refunds are provided within 14 days of our receipt of the returned goods and will be made to the same card which was used for the purchase
• You have the right to receive a refund for goods cancelled in accordance with the above terms. However, if you would prefer to receive alternative equivalent goods from us, or a credit note, please let us know and we can consider appropriate options.
