Once you have placed an order, you will receive an order confirmation email (Confirmation of your order at Littlemagictrain) from us acknowledging receipt of your order and containing details of your order, which we would recommend that you print out and keep for your own records. Our order confirmation e-mail is acknowledgement that we have received your order,and does not confirm acceptance of your offer to buy the goods ordered.

The contract that is formed shall be in English and will include these terms and conditions.

Please note that our Printed products are subject to availability.

If we have already accepted your order, we will notify you how long this will take.  You will have the opportunity to cancel your order and we will terminate the contract between us.

We may also be unable to accept or fulfil your order where:

we may reduce your refund of the price (excluding delivery costs) to reflect any reduction in the value of the goods if this has been caused by your handling of the goods which would not be permitted in a shop. You have a legal obligation to take reasonable care of the goods while they are in your possession and are responsible for the risk of damage during transport. If we refund you the price paid before we are able to inspect the goods and later discover you have handled them in an unacceptable way, you must pay us an appropriate amount.

We will process any refund due to you as soon as possible and, in any case, no later than:

• In the case of physical goods – 14 days after the day we receive the returned goods from you; or (if earlier) the day you provide us with evidence that you have returned the goods; and
• For digital content available for download or streaming – within 14 days of you telling us you have changed your mind.
• All refunds to you will be made by the payment method you used when paying for the order being refunded.

Alternative dispute resolution is a process where an independent body considers the facts of a dispute and seeks to resolve it, without you having to go to court. If you are not happy with how we have handled any complaint, you may want to use alternative dispute resolution, but this does not prevent you going to court if you are still not satisfied with the outcome.
