1. The Binding Contract between You and Us
By placing an order you are offering to purchase a product on and subject to the following terms and conditions. All orders are subject to availability and confirmation of the order price. Dispatch times, which are communicated clearly on FairyLoot, may vary according to availability and subject to any delays resulting from postal delays or force majeure for which we will not be responsible. These terms and conditions apply only if you are buying products on our site as a consumer (ie for purposes outside of your business, craft or profession).
The buyer is responsible for any import taxes imposed by their home country. Please take these fees into account when buying. Customers located in a country within the United Kingdom will not incur any import fees. Outside of the United Kingdom, you will need to look up the import duty threshold and rates for your country to determine if and how much you will pay in VAT/duty/handling fees.
In order to contract with FairyLoot you must be over 18 years of age or have parental permission and possess a valid credit or debit card issued by a bank acceptable to us. FairyLoot retains the right to refuse any request made by you. If your order is accepted we will inform you by email and we will confirm the identity of the party, which you have contracted with. This will usually be FairyLoot or may in some cases be a third party. Where a contract is made with a third party FairyLoot is not acting as either agent or principal and the contract is made between yourself and that third party and will be subject to the terms of sale, which they supply you. When placing an order you undertake that all details you provide to us are true and accurate, that you are an authorised user of the credit or debit card used to place your order and that there are sufficient funds to cover the cost of the goods. The cost of foreign products and services may fluctuate. All prices advertised are subject to such changes.
2. Our Contract
When you place an order at the end of the online checkout process (eg âsubscribe and place orderâ button), you will receive an acknowledgement e-mail confirming receipt of your order: This email will only be an acknowledgement and will not constitute acceptance of your order. A legally binding contract between us will not be formed until we send you confirmation by e-mail that the box (or item), which you ordered has been dispatched to you (Shipping Confirmation).
We may contact you to say that we do not accept your order. This is typically for the following reasons:
- the products are unavailable;
- we cannot authorise your payment;
- you are not allowed to buy the products from us;
- we are not allowed to sell the products to you;
- you have ordered too many products; or
- there has been a mistake on the pricing or description of the

FairyLoot may submit periodic charges (e.g., monthly, quarterly, semi-annually) without further authorisation from you, until you provide prior notice that you have terminated this authorisation or wish to change your payment method. Such notice will not affect charges submitted before FairyLoot reasonably could act. To terminate your authorisation or change your payment method email [email protected]

We will make the reimbursement 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 as a result 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 earliest.
5. Availability & Delivery
Your order will be fulfilled by the estimated delivery date set out in the Shipping Confirmation or, if no delivery date is specified, then within 30 days of the date of the Shipping Confirmation, unless there are exceptional circumstances.
Unless you and we agree otherwise, if we cannot deliver your goods within 30 days of the date of the Shipping Confirmation, we will let you know, cancel your order; and give you a refund.
Delivery will be completed when our authorised courier company, deliver the Products to the shipping address you supplied to us during your order process. If no one is available at your address to take delivery, our authorised courier company, will follow the delivery instructions provided to us by you. If no leave safe instructions are specified, the order will be left in an area that the authorised courier company considers safe, or left at a local post office to be picked up by you.
The leave safe location specified by you shall be within the area of the delivery address and shall be accessible to the courier. We will endeavour to follow any delivery instructions you provide but this cannot be guaranteed.
FairyLootâs obligation to deliver the box (parcel) shall be fulfilled once the courier delivers the box (parcel) at the safe spot specified by you or the box (parcel) is considered safe by the courier.
If the personal handover of the box (parcel) is not possible and no leave safe is available we may also deliver the box (parcel) to a nearby household or business. A household or business shall be regarded ânearbyâ if the recipient resides in the same building as the original addressee. In addition, the box (parcel) may also be delivered to a recipient residing in proximate walking distance to the delivery address (e.g. same housing complex, building on the opposite side of the street, next-door building). All aforementioned nearby households and businesses are subsequently referred to as âneighboursâ.
The customer will be notified of such delivery to a neighbour by delivery notice, via email or in the tracking status of the parcel.
If neither a personal handover nor a delivery to a neighbour is possible, you will be in default of acceptance.
FairyLoot will not attempt a further delivery. You are obliged to bear all expenses related to aforesaid default of acceptance.
6. Delivery Risk
Once the delivery is completed, according to the proof of delivery provided (i.e. signed for by customer, left in a safe spot as specified by the customer or considered safe by authorised courier company, or delivered to a neighbour if no leave safe is provided or available) the risk of any damage or loss of the box will be with the customer. FairyLoot shall not be held liable for any damage, defect or loss which may occur thereafter.
You are fully responsible for any damages or losses due to any ambiguity regarding the safe spot specified by you. FairyLoot is not obliged to review the safe spot as to its general suitability.
Refusal of the box (parcel) does not negate the charge, FairyLoot will not be liable for any losses sustained by the customer relating to a refusal of delivery by our authorised courier company.
FairyLoot will not be liable for any losses sustained due to a failure on the customer’s part to update and maintain sufficient delivery addresses. All address edits must be communicated before deadlines provided in pre-shipment notifications sent by FairyLoot.
If you do not receive your order within 30 days of the last tracking update, please contact us. If we are contacted later than 30 days after the last tracking update and the order has not been received, we will not be able to provide a replacement or refund.
7. Price
The price of the Products and our delivery charges will be as quoted on our site from time to time, except in cases of obvious error.
Product prices do not include VAT until a shipping country is selected from the list of available countries during the checkout process. VAT will only be applicable for, and therefore only added to orders destined for the United Kingdom or member countries of the European Union (EU).
Product prices and delivery charges are liable to change at any time, but changes will not affect orders in respect of which we have already sent you a Shipping Confirmation.
