Terms and conditions
Our terms
What these terms cover. These are the terms and conditions on which we supply products to you, whether these are goods, services or digital content.
Why you should read them. Please read these terms carefully before you submit your order to us. These terms tell you who we are, how we will provide products to you, how you and we may change or end the contract, what to do if there is a problem and other important information. If you think that there is a mistake in these terms [or require any changes], please contact us to discuss.
Information about us and how to contact us
Who we are.
Retired Charlie bears our business is based at 230B Ikon Trading Estate, Hartlebury
How we may contact you. If we have to contact you, we will do so by telephone or by writing to you at the email address or postal address you provided to us in your order.
Ordering
Our acceptance of your order will take place when we email you to accept it, at which point a contract will come into existence between you and us.
If we cannot fulfill your order
If we are unable to accept your order, we will inform you of this and will refund you any payments you have made. This might be because the product is out of stock, because of unexpected limits on our resources which we could not reasonably plan for, because we have identified an error in the price or description of the product or because we are unable to meet a delivery deadline you have specified.
Your order number. We will assign an order number to your order and tell you what it is when we accept your order. It will help us if you can tell us the order number in any correspondence
We do sell internationally. Please be aware that local customs, import duties or taxes may be charged when your order reaches your country. We have no control over these charges, so unfortunately cannot predict what the charges might be. Any orders placed could be subject to cross border or exchange fees by your card issuer, and we cannot reimburse for any fees assessed by your card-issuing bank. You will be responsible for the payment of any customs or import taxes.
How to contact us.
You can email us at [email protected]
Or by phone 07976715908
Delivery costs. The costs of delivery will be as displayed to you on our website. We aim to ship within 3-5 days
We are not responsible for delays outside our control.
If you are not at home when the product is delivered. If no one is available at your address to take delivery and the products cannot be posted through your letterbox, we will leave you a note informing you of how to rearrange delivery.
If you do not re-arrange delivery. If you do not re-arrange delivery, we will contact you for further instructions and may charge you for storage costs and any further delivery costs. If, despite our reasonable efforts, we are unable to contact you or re-arrange delivery we may end the contract and clause 10.2 will apply.
Exercising your right to change your mind (Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013). For most products bought online you have a legal right to change your mind within 14 days and receive a refund. These rights, under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, are explained in more detail in these terms.
How long do I have to change my mind? How long you have depends on what you have ordered and how it is delivered? If so, you have 14 days after the day you (or someone you nominate) receives the goods, unless your goods are split into several deliveries over different days. In this case you have until 14 days after the day you (or someone you nominate) receives the last delivery to change your mind about the goods.
Ending the contract where we are not at fault and there is no right to change your mind. Even if we are not at fault and you do not have a right to change your mind (see clause 8.1), you can still end the contract before it is completed, but you may have to pay us compensation. A contract for goods is completed when the product is delivered and paid for. If you want to end a contract before it is completed where we are not at fault and you have not changed your mind, just contact us to let us know. The contract will end immediately and we will refund any sums paid by you for products not provided but we may deduct from that refund as compensation for the net costs we will incur as a result of your ending the contract.
How to end the contract with us (including if you have changed your mind)
Tell us you want to end the contract. To end the contract with us, please let us know by emailing [email protected]
When we will pay the costs of return. We will pay the costs of return:

How we will refund you. We will refund you the price you paid for the products including delivery costs, by the method you used for payment.
your refund will be made within 14 days of your telling us you have changed your mind
