We always work hard to make sure that every product on thecardshed.com is shown accurately and that prices are correct. However, occasionally there may be small variations in colour, typefaces or layout. The Card Shed disclaims all representations and warranties that the content or information on this Website is accurate, complete, up to date or does not infringe the rights of any third party.

When you place an order with us (by choosing an item and completing our online checkout process), we will send you an acknowledgement by email. This will detail the products you have ordered. Please note that your completion of the online checkout process does not constitute our acceptance of your order. Our acceptance of your order only takes place when we despatch it. A ‘purchase contract’ between you and thecardshed.com is therefore made at the point of despatch, rather than at the point of payment. If you have cancelled your order, or if we notify you that we cannot accept your order, then no purchase contract will have been made. from time to time, we may not be able to accept an order for the following reasons:
a. If, unfortunately, we do not have your chosen goods in stock
b. Where we cannot obtain authorisation for your payment
c. If there has been a pricing or product description error
d. If you do not meet any eligibility criteria set out in our terms and conditions
We reserve the right to cancel your order at any time and issue a full refund.
