Each product on this Website has a product description associated to it, in addition to other details. We take all reasonable care to ensure all elements of each product are correct at the time of purchase. These elements include, but are not limited to, the product description, image and price.
Although we aim to keep our product pages as up to date and relevant as possible, we cannot guarantee the information is completely accurate at the time of purchase.
Pre-Orders may be made in the same way as an order for an item currently in stock. However they will not be dispatched until the goods come into stock.
As with all orders, payment for Pre-Orders is charged to your Credit or Debit Card immediately.
Pre-Orders will always include an estimated dispatch date within the product description.
Products with a different availability will always be dispatched once all of the products are available. Should you require non pre-ordered items quicker, please place separate orders.
Goods will not be supplied for the purposes of resale and are only supplied for the customer's own use as a consumer. We reserve the right to refuse orders that we consider to be for commercial or non-domestic purposes or subject to onward by a third party.
To ensure availability of all our goods, orders of 5 items or more of the same product description may be considered to be for commercial or non-domestic purposes and therefore subject to refusal.
We may apply other maximum order limits where stock is limited or demand is expected to be high.
We have selected our goods on the basis that they will be used for domestic and personal use only. Where you decide to use the goods in the course of a business, we exclude (to the fullest extent permitted by law) those warranties and conditions relating to fitness for a particular purpose or satisfactory quality.

When deciding on how you would like to personalise the Replica Kit, please bear in mind players' names and numbers may be subject to change in the future; we accept no liability for these changes.
We reserve the right to refuse to print Personalised Replica Kits where we deem the modifications or additions requested to be offensive or abusive and/or likely to infringe the Intellectual Property Rights of companies and/or individuals.
In such circumstances, a member of the Retail Team will contact you to discuss your choice and, if necessary, request an alternative. This may delay delivery of your Kit.

Customers should be aware that sizing may vary from previous Replica kits. Please ensure you obtain the correct size before printing as we are unable to exchange or refund after letters and/or numbers are applied to personalise your item.

IMPORTANT:
Amazon Pay - Payment will be made from your stored card with Amazon, there is no option to use any Amazon Vouchers or e-vouchers.
If you choose to make payment using a Credit Card, we will automatically run a number of checks using the Credit Card information you provide.
We will perform these checks through our own systems, those of our bank and those of your Credit Card issuer.
When you place an order, our system will communicate with your Credit Card issuer to obtain authorisation based on your Credit Card number. This will check if you have sufficient cleared funds in your account to cover the total cost of your order. If there are sufficient funds in the account, the value of the order will be reserved for a period of time in your account until authorisation is sent to us.
At the same time, our system will check with your Credit Card issuer the address details you have registered with the Credit Card and the three digit security code on the back of your Credit Card.
If the Credit Card checks undertaken are failed, the value of your order may then be 'suspended' in your account. In these circumstances we are not permitted to assist you in cancelling these allocated funds and you will have to contact your Credit Card issuer to resolve this matter. The Credit Card issuer can advise you on how long the funds will be held before being released back into your account.
Where an order attempt has failed, it is possible you have made a typing error or neglected to notify your Credit Card issuer of a recent change of address. If this is the case, it is important that you do not keep trying to place an order, as each attempt may reserve further funds in your account, rendering the reserved funds unavailable to you for other purposes.
