Order Process

Whenever you buy a product through this Site, you will be entering into a contract with The Natural Language Company Limited, a limited liability company registered in England and Wales with company number 05104257. Our registered office is: 51 Cleveland Park Avenue, London E17 7BP, UK.

The Products on the Site are offered for sale subject to availability and subject to our accepting your order.

To place an order for the purchase of a Product, the User needs to follow the order procedure as shown on the Site. The price payable for any Product and the procedure for payment are shown on the Site. If a User is ordering a product for delivery to an address outside Great Britain, the User agrees that he or she will be responsible for the payment of any import duties or further taxes relevant to imports into that country or territory. We accept payment by major debit and credit cards.

When you confirm your order by pressing the ‘Pay Now’ button on the Site, you agree to purchase the Product you have selected.

If the Product ordered includes content selected or entered by the User it is a “personalised product”. If it is a product which does not include content selected or entered by the User, it is a “non-personalised product”

If the Product you wish to buy is a digital download, you will first need to agree to two specific provisions for making instant purchases of digital content which are contained in the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013:

Firstly you will need to confirm that you are expressly requesting to buy a download that will be available straight after purchase, i.e. within the 14-day cancellation period specified by the regulations and applying to physical products.

Secondly, you will also need to acknowledge that once the download starts you will lose your right to cancel the purchase.

You also agree that after the purchase of a digital download you are responsible for only attempting to download your purchase on a device that can open .zip files. This is made clear on the relevant product page of the Site, as is our recommendation that the purchase is completed on a desktop or laptop unless you are sure that your phone or tablet can open .zip files.

On receiving your payment, if your purchase includes a physical product we will send you a ‘thank you for your order’ email to let you know that we have received it. Our acknowledgement of receipt of your Order does not mean that we have accepted it.  Our acceptance is shown by us sending you an Order Completion email (‘your order is on its way’) email. Only once we have sent you a Order Completion email will there be a legally binding contract between us and you.

If you buy a digital download, after payment you will receive an Order Completion email containing a link showing the filename of your purchase, which you can click in order to download it when you are on a device that can open .zip files. (There will also be a download link on the Site on the page confirming your payment.)

Order Completion emails shall contain the following information:

Details of the Product(s) ordered; itemised pricing for the Product(s) ordered, including taxes, delivery and any other additional charges.

We reserve the right to reject an order and refund your payment at any time without giving a reason as to why we have done so.

An order may be rejected by us even after an Order Completion email has been sent for a reason including but not limited to the following: the Product was wrongly priced or wrongly described; a personalised product has content which appears to contravene our content rules; we suspect that the order has been placed fraudulently.

 

Product description

We try to make sure that every Product on the Site is displayed and described as accurately as possible and displays the correct price. However, we do not offer any assurance that the colours on the Products will precisely match the colours shown on the screen of your computer or device. In addition, occasionally there may be variations in layout and typeface, and you agree that the Product you purchase may not exactly match the ones shown in any of the images on the Site.

Personalised products and content rules

If you order a card as part of our gift service, you will be asked to enter a message to be printed inside the card. This would be deemed to be a personalised product. Please note that personalised products cannot be cancelled once the order has been accepted.

We can in our absolute discretion refuse to print a message in a card where we feel that it could be offensive, inappropriate or against any of our content rules (set out below). In the event of a User entering a message that we consider offensive, inappropriate or against any of our content rules, you agree that your order may be rejected or that we may substitute one of our standard phrases of congratulations for the whole or part of the phrase or message in question. You acknowledge that we may reject an order or substitute a phrase without giving a reason as to why we have done so and that by doing this we shall incur no liability to you or any other person.

Our content rules for personalised products are as follows:

 

You acknowledge that you may not include in gift card or other personalised Product any content which (a) infringes the copyright, trademark or other rights of any person or entity (b) is false, misleading, alarming, offensive, abusive or threatening, or which might cause offence, upset or distress to anyone (c) impersonates anyone or misrepresents your identity (d) is against any applicable law (e) purports to come from or to be approved by us.

Returns, refunds, rights of cancellation

 

Non-personalised physical Products (for example a Baby Listen album on CD)

You may cancel your contract with us for the purchase of a non-personalised physical Product within 14 days of receipt. As the cancellation period will expire 14 calendar days after the day your order is delivered to you, you must inform us of the cancellation by sending us an email or by using our cancellation form no more than 14 days from the day on which the product is delivered.

You then need to return the Product to us within 14 days of your notifying us of your decision to cancel.

If you are cancelling because a Product is faulty or defective, Baby Listen will refund the postage cost of returning the Product to us, within 14 days of our receiving the faulty or defective item. We will either send you a replacement item or refund the purchase cost, according to what you specify.

If the Product being returned is not defective or damaged, and you are cancelling your order because you have changed your mind or for some other reason, you will be responsible for the cost of returning the Product to us.

We will refund the original purchase price of the non-personalised item including the initial costs of delivery (but excluding any supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us) within 14 days of receiving the Product back from you in saleable condition.

We may reduce the amount of money refunded for Products returned whose value is reduced by handling beyond what is necessary to see whether the goods are as expected. Please be aware that the value of the Product may be reduced to nothing if its seal is damaged or broken.

Please note that in the case of audio recordings such as those on CD, you will lose your right to cancel if you unseal the shrink wrap or seal which the item comes in.

 

Personalised products (for example a Baby Listen printed gift card)

Note that there is no right to cancel a contract and return a Product (as described above for non-personalised products) where a Product has been personalised, such as in the case of a printed gift card.

If you have ordered a gift-wrapped Baby Listen album with printed gift card as part of our gift service, we regret that the element of the purchase price for the gift-wrapping service cannot be refunded as part of a cancellation, so the maximum that can be refunded for an order cancellation in this case would be the price of the corresponding Baby Listen album on CD with its inclusive postage costs.

This does not affect your legal rights.

Delivery

We shall endeavour to dispatch Products as soon as possible after order, but we give no guarantee of delivery dates or times. Delivery times may differ depending on what you order.
