Website Information
Lyche makes every effort to ensure the product and general information on this website is up to date and correct at the time of its creation on the website. We have made every effort to accurately represent colours, forms and finishes of the products that appear for sale on the website. We do not guarantee that your device will accurately render these colours. It is not a condition of supply that the goods will correspond precisely with the description / dimensions given or that colours shall match the photographed examples precisely. Please also ensure that you read and understand the size of the product(s) that you purchase - we make no attempt to show differing scale between products in our website photography.

Cancelling Orders
Orders cannot be cancelled after payment has been made as we will usually have packed and despatched your order within hours of checkout. If you process an order in error (e.g. wrong product or product option selected) please contact us using the email address in your order confirmation.

Pre-Orders
Lychee may occasionally offer items for sale as a pre-order. Pre-order is defined as part-payment being made for goods in advance of their delivery to Lychee. This is offered as a means of securing high-demand items or ensuring an agreed price. Lychee endeavours to provide accurate delivery date estimates however, this delivery is determined by third party suppliers so may be subject to change. Pre-orders are not layby purchases and any funds paid for a pre-order are non-refundable. Pre-orders may not be cancelled.

Discount Codes
Lychee occasionally offers single-use discount codes when customers sign up to receive marketing emails or create an account. Lychee reserves the right to cancel a discount code (and any resulting discounts) if fraudulent or suspicious redemptions are suspected. Discount codes are issued in good faith as a gratuity and are not a contractual obligation on the part of Lychee, use of multiple email addresses for the same customer / delivery address will result in order cancellation and a subsequent refund.

Sales / End-Of-Line Discounts
Lychee does not offer returns or exchanges for products purchased at discounted / promotional prices unless the product is found to be faulty. 

If you have purchased an item and then within 5 days of purchase the item goes on sale, we will honour the sale price by way of a store credit (Lychee Gift Card) for the difference in price.

Consumer Guarantees Act 1993

Such liability shall not exceed the invoice value of the defective or non-complying goods at the option of Folklore Limited. Folklore Limited shall not be liable for any consequential indirect or special damage or loss of any kind whatsoever. 

Pricing
Occasionally items are advertised or presented for sale at the incorrect price, Lychee reserves the right to inform the Customer that there has been an error if an item has been purchased on the website at an incorrect price. Lychee is not obligated to sell or supply the item for the erroneous price in the event of a genuine mistake. If the Customer does not wish to pay the correct price Lychee will issue a full refund within five (5) working days. This is in compliance with the Fair Trading Act 1986. The Act protects the consumer against false / intentionally misleading advertising or unfair / illegal treatment by retailers. It also explicitly states that a retailer is not obligated to sell goods or services at an incorrect price if genuine mishaps occur with pricing errors.
