Cancellation, Returns & Refunds

Cancellations

By law, customers in the European Union have the right to withdraw from the purchase of an item within seven working days of the day after the date the item is delivered.

For more information on your right to withdraw from your purchase within the seven working day cooling-off period, visit the Department of Trade and Industry's website at:
http://www.dti.gov.uk/consumers/buying-selling/distance-selling/index.html

Exceptions -  customised goods specifically made to order

All goods which can be purchased directly from urbanspecies.co.uk using the standard ordering process above are covered by the statutory right to cancellation within seven working days, with the exception of bespoke custom items (including but not limited to custom clothing and pieces of artwork) which have been made to your specification. These items are generally only produced after close consultation with you to ensure your satisfaction, and will be handled by a direct commissioning process. Full details and applicable terms and conditions are available on request from info@urbanspecies.co.uk

Returns Policy

We are confident that you will be delighted with your purchase. If, however, you are not completely satisfied, we offer an extended 28 Day Returns Policy. You can return your item(s) to us within 28 working days of delivery for exchange or refund – please see “How to cancel or arrange a return, exchange or refund” below for guidance on how to arrange this. Your statutory rights are not affected.

Exceptions from 28 Day Returns Policy -  customised goods

After the statutory seven day cancellation period, our 28 Days Returns Policy does not apply to goods specially made to order, customised or personalised to your requirements, unless the goods are defective or have been damaged in transit (see below). This exception includes all custom painted caps and t-shirts from the standard designs illustrated on this web site, and which may be purchased using the ordering process outlined above, as well as bespoke customised clothing and pieces of artwork commissioned by direct contact with us.
