The University of Glasgow Online Shop is run and maintained by GU Heritage Retail Limited and is a subsidiary company of the University of Glasgow. All our profits go to support the work of the University.
GU Heritage Retail Limited (GUHRL) is a company registered Scotland under number SC207024 whose registered office is at the University of Glasgow, G12 8QQ. VAT Reg. No: 842921916. The following terms and conditions listed below will apply between you and GUHRL for the sale and purchase of the items contained in your basket. The terms do not affect your statutory rights.
Availability of goods and prices
Goods will be sent to the address given by you in your order and contained in the Order Confirmation. Please note that occasionally goods ordered may be sent to you in instalments, or dispatched separately by our suppliers. We will make every effort to advise you if this is applies.
We make every attempt to ensure that all prices on our website are accurate, however discrepancies may occur. If we discover an error in the price of goods already ordered we will inform you as soon as possible and ask that you reconfirm your order at the correct price, whilst also giving you the option to cancel it. If we are unsuccessful in contacting you we will consider the order cancelled. If we cancel your order, you will receive a full refund.
International Shipping
If your delivery address is not within the United Kingdom, you may be subject to import duties and taxes, which are levied once a shipment reaches your country. Any such additional charges for customs clearance must be borne by you. You should note that customs policies vary widely from country to country; GUHRL advises each customer to contact their local customs office for further information.
You should be aware that cross-border shipments are subject to opening and inspection by customs authorities. If you live overseas, you will receive your order as Delivered At Place, or DAP (also called Delivered Duty Unpaid, or DDU). Under these terms GUHRL only takes responsibility for shipping your product(s), and requires you (the customer) to pay any additional import costs, such as VAT, sales taxes, duties, and clearing fees. If you refuse to pay any additional import costs then your package will be returned to GUHRL. Once we have received your package we will refund you, but minus any shipping charges from sending your order or for the return of your package.
Validity
By ordering a product you accept these terms and conditions. The terms and conditions are subject to change at any time, and it is your responsibility to check these terms and conditions regularly before ordering products in case there are any changes.
Your Undertakings and Warranties
You warrant that the information given on your order form is complete and accurate.
Acknowledgement of Order
When you have completed your order you will be sent an e-mail confirmation. It will state what products are in the order, the total cost including VAT and delivery charges, together with delivery and invoice details. If for any reason your order cannot be processed either in full or in part, a member of our team will contact you to advise further.
Our Contract
No contract for the sale of any product will subsist between you and GUHRL until the product(s) ordered have been dispatched. We will send a confirmation email when the goods have left our premises. This confirmation email amounts to an acceptance by GUHRL of your offer to buy goods.
Where an order is to be fulfilled in instalments, those products yet to be dispatched will not form part of our contract with you. You must check that the details on this confirmatory email are correct as soon as possible and you should keep a copy of it.
Data Protection
GUHRL will never make your personal details available to other companies for marketing purposes. We will keep a record of your contact details with the intention of sending your order. If you order a custom or bespoke product then we will pass your contact details to our 3rd party suppliers so that they can create your item and send it to you. They will not use your details for any other purpose.
Information you enter into our registration forms may be collected and stored briefly by us so that we may contact you in relation to the nature of your attempted transaction, even if you do not confirm the transaction. This may be used to send operational emails to enquire as to why the purchase was not completed. We will not use this data for any other purpose, we will not store it for longer than necessary and we certainly will not share it with any other company. Our aim is simply to provide you with the highest level of service that we can.
