All content on this Site is protected under the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 and is Copyright © by Mou Limited or, where applicable, independent content providers and third parties. All rights are reserved. Reproduction and/or transmission of any content, by any means, without the express permission of the owner is prohibited by law.

Acceptance
You agree that your order is an offer to purchase the Products from Mou Limited and any associated delivery services from Mou Limited as listed in your order. All orders are subject to acceptance by us. We may choose not to accept your order for any reason without liability to you.
After submitting an order, we will send you an order acknowledgement email with your order number and details of the Products you have ordered from us and details of any delivery services you have ordered from us.
Please note that this email is an acknowledgement that we have received your order and is not an acceptance of your order. Acceptance of your order and the formation of:
(a) a contract of sale for the Products between Mou Limited and you; and
(b) as applicable a contract for any delivery services between you and Mou Limited in respect of delivery to residents in the UK, the Isle of Man, inside the EU and outside of the EU, will not take place unless and until the earlier of (i) the date on which Mou receives payment in full or (ii) when Mou dispatches the Products to you.
Pricing and Payment
We may vary the prices on our site at any time and without any notice. If your order is to be delivered within the European Union, both the product price and delivery services price includes applicable VAT or sales tax payable.
Prices on the Mou website will be shown in a currency that is determined by delivery destination. This means that a customer outside of the UK will shop in a currency that is different to GBP. For example, a customer ordering a parcel to be delivered in the US will see prices in USD.
Delivery charges are itemised on the order acknowledgement issued by Mou.
Our Site contains a large number of Products and it is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the Products listed on our site may be incorrectly priced. We will normally verify prices as part of our dispatch procedures so that, where a Product's correct price is less than our stated price, we will charge the lower amount when dispatching the Product to you. If a Product's correct price is higher than the price stated on our Site, we will normally, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before dispatching the Product, or cancel your order and notify you of such cancellation.
When you make a purchase for Products and delivery services as applicable from Mou Limited, please make sure you do this in the currency of your bank or credit card. Please note that it is common practice for banks and credit card providers to have different selling and buying exchange rates for currency. We do not accept responsibility for charges or differing rates of currency exchange levied by a customer's bank or credit card provider.
Any Products purchased prior to any markdowns or discount offered will not be refunded the difference. You may return the higher priced item, in its original condition, to us for a refund.
For any sale or discounted price shown, all ‘was’ pricing is the original RRP and ‘now’ pricing reflects the latest price.
Payment
You confirm that the credit/debit card or payment method that is being used is yours and that all details you provide to us in respect thereof including, without limitation, name and address details are complete, correct and accurate. You further confirm that the credit/debit card or payment method is valid and the inputted payment details correct. All credit/debit cardholders and any payment account holders are subject to validation checks and authorisation by the card issuer or payment method provider. If the issuer of your card refuses to authorise payment, we will not accept your order and we will not be liable for any delay or non-delivery and we are not obliged to inform you of the reason for the refusal.
We are not responsible for any charges or other amounts applied by your card issuer or bank or payment method provider because of our processing of your credit/debit card payment or other method of payment in accordance with your order. If your credit/debit card or payment method is not denominated in the currency of your purchase indicated on the Site, the final price may be charged in the currency of your card or account. Such final price is calculated and charged by your card issuer or bank or payment method provider and therefore we shall not be responsible for any cost, expense, charge or other liability incurred or suffered by you as a result of your card issuer or payment method provider charging you in a currency other than the currency set out on the Site.
Cancellation Right – Cooling Off Period
If you are a UK/EU consumer, you have the legal right to cancel your order within 14 days following your receipt or physical possession of the Products from us or when a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you receives or has physical possession of the Products.
If you wish to cancel your order using this legal right, you must inform us of your decision to cancel the contract in writing (e.g. by a letter sent by post, email or fax. The address to write to is: Mou, 22 Burlington Arcade, London W1J 0QJ
Alternatively, you can inform us by emailing: clientcare@mou.com or call Customer Services on +44 (0)20 7491 9253
If you exercise your right to cancel the contract during the 14 days period after receipt of the goods, we reimburse you the cost of the goods using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise. In any event, you will not incur any fees because of the reimbursement. We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earlier.
Please return the unwanted goods to us without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your cancellation from the contract to us. Please return the goods in line with our Returns Policy.
You will be responsible for the cost of returning the goods unless our Returns Policy provides that we will reimburse the costs of returning items or if we delivered items in error to you or they were damaged or defective.
For further information about your statutory rights, contact your local authority Trading Standards department or consumer advice centre (for example the Citizen's Advice Bureau if you are in the UK).
Customs
These rules vary by country and your local government determines duty and customs charges, so you should contact your local customs office for further information.
