Terms of Sale:

By placing an order You are offering to purchase a Product on and subject to the following Terms. All orders are subject to availability and confirmation of the order price.

You, the Customer, is responsible for ensuring that the terms of the order and any applicable specification submitted by Yourself is complete and accurate.

The Contract constitutes the entire agreement between You, the Customer, and Great Bear. You acknowledge that it has not relied on any statement, promise or representation made or given by or on behalf of Great Bear which is not set out in the contract.

Any samples, drawings, descriptive matter or advertising produced by Great Bear and any descriptions or illustrations contained in Great Bear’s catalogues or brochures or emails are produced for the sole purpose of giving an approximate idea of the goods described in the item. They shall not form part of the contract or have any contractual force. 

We will have the right, at any time, to make changes to information about Products displayed on Our Site, for example information about prices, description or the availability of Products and We may do so without first giving You notice of the changes. 

The inclusion of any Products on Our Site does not imply, warrant or guarantee that the Products will be available if You wish to place an order to offer to purchase it.

We may refuse to process a transaction for any reason or refuse service to anyone at any time at our sole discretion.

We reserve the right not to accept  Your order in the event, for example, that We are unable to obtain authorisation for payment, that shipping restrictions apply to a particular item, that the item ordered is out of stock or does not satisfy Our quality control standards and is withdrawn, or that You do not meet Our eligibility criteria.

Furthermore, We will not be liable to You or any third party by reason of Our withdrawing any Products from the Site whether or not those Products have been sold; removing, screening or editing any materials or content on the Site; refusing to process a transaction or unwinding or suspending any transaction after processing has begun.

In an effort to protect our customers, all orders placed via Our Site are screened and security checked for fraud. Orders randomly selected for security screening cannot be processed until we hear back from you so it is in your interest to include a valid telephone number and email address with your order so we can contact you if we need you to confirm certain elements of Your order which may include the billing or delivery address. We will never ask You for full credit / debit card details. Although it is rare that it would be necessary for Us to cancel an order, We reserve the right to refuse any orders from a customer where the following situations are applicable:

  • Incorrect credit/debit card number, expiration date or security code.
  • Incorrect billing information (billing information You provide is different from information Your credit card company/ bank has on record).
  • Insufficient/incorrect shipping address (street, town/city, county or postal code).
  • Fraudulent information.

We may cancel any order if fraudulent activity is suspected and may refuse to process subsequent orders from Customers with a previous fraudulent order history. If we are unable to contact You using the telephone number or email address that you have provided with your order within 3 days we reserve the right to cancel your order and give a full refund to the original card or credit card used.

All orders are subject to acceptance and availability.

Once an order is dispatched by us and it is claimed by the customer that it has not been successfully delivered the value for the item is then no longer eligible for a refund. The value is eligble for a gift voucher or to be resent the original item once again.  

Orders placed by you are an offer to purchase and will be accepted by us subject to stock availability at the stated prices, and subject to your payment having been received by us in full. We require full payment for the goods before your order can be accepted. Once your payment has been received by us, we will send an email to your stated email address. This email is NOT an acceptance of your order. Dispatch will be arranged to your address. Dispatch times may vary according to availability and any guarantees or representations made as to delivery times are subject to any delays resulting from postal delays or force majeure for which We will not be responsible.  Completion of the contract between you and Great Bear will be perfected when we dispatch the goods to you from our premises. You will be informed of this via a Dispatch Confirmation email. Once the item has left the Great Bear premises the title and ownership passes to the customer. At this point all risk is passed onto the customer and therefore Great Bear Apparel accepts no liability or responsibility for the product. Great Bear Apparel will supply the customer with reciept and proof of postage at this time, so if the customer wishes they may follow up any problems with the postal service. The sale contract is concluded in Bristol, England, and the contract language is English.

We use information held about you in the following ways:

  • To ensure that content from our site is presented in the most effective manner for you and for your computer.
  • To provide you with information, products or services that you request from us or which we feel may interest you, where you have consented to be contacted for such purposes.
  • To carry out our obligations arising from any contracts entered into between you and us.

SECURITY POLICY:

We take the security of your personal details extremely seriously. Security policies are designed to protect the personal details under our control. The Information that we have collected from you is maintained in a secure web server, which we believe to be a well-protected and secure environment.

Although we use advanced security measures to protect your information against loss, misuse and alteration, as is the case with all computer networks linked to the internet, we cannot absolutely guarantee the security of your information provided over the internet and will not be responsible for this.

Never send any sensitive information, such as passwords or credit card information, via email.

If you are using a public computer then make sure you log out fully and close the browser.

When creating a password, a combination of letters and numbers is recommended. Try not to use obvious personal details such as the names of children or pets.

Keep your password private and do not use the same one for multiple online accounts.

It is recommended that you change your password frequently.

As part of our policy to protect against the fraudulent use of credit cards, we carry out random security checks on orders. These can take various forms, and may involve contacting you by telephone before your order is processed.

Phishing is the practice of tricking someone into giving confidential information, such as email scams that send banking customers to a website which is not the bank’s real website although it looks just like it.

We will never contact you by email to ask you to send or confirm any of your personal details. If we need any information of this nature, we will only contact you by phone or letter. If you receive an email claiming to be from www.Great Bearclothing.com requesting this type of information, DO NOT RESPOND but please let us know by forwarding the email to connect@great-bear-vip.

 

Username and passwords are asked to be provided to you as a customer. This allows you private access to information that we are holding, like the account information. If you wish to update, amend or delete any details, the online account gives you this access or you can email us at connect@great-bear-vip. Under the Data Protection Act 1998, you are also entitled to view any information we hold on you by paying a small fee. If any information we hold on you is incorrect, please inform us immediately and we will make the necessary changes and contact you with confirmation of the changes. Great Bear reserves the right to close an account if any user is seen to be using proxy IPs (Internet Protocol addresses) in order to attempt to hide the use of multiple accounts, or disrupts any of our services in any way.

Our registered users receive an electronic newsletter sent to their e-mail address. These newsletters, which are published at reasonable intervals, contain editorial information involving our offers, topical advertising and similar material. Users may cancel receipt of the newsletter at any time.

The Service provides you with the ability to interact with social media services, such as through Facebook “Like” buttons, Twitter and otherwise. These features may enable integration and/or access to your social media accounts. We do not control those social media services, your profiles on those services, modify your privacy settings on those services or establish rules about how your personal information on those services will be used. You and the social media service providers are in control of those issues, not Great Bear. You are encouraged to read all policies and information on the applicable social media services to learn more about how they handle your information before using any such features made available to you on our Service. We are not responsible for any acts or omissions by any social media service provider or your use of features that come from their platform.
