These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your use of the website banksiancrystals.com ("Site"), operated by Banksian Crystals ("we", "our", "us"). By accessing or using our Site and services, you agree to comply with and be bound by these Terms. Please read them carefully before making a purchase or using our services.

Banksian Crystals is not currently VAT registered. Prices shown on the Site are the prices you pay — no VAT is charged.
2. Contract Formation
By placing an order with us, you make an offer to purchase goods under these Terms. The contract between you and us is only formed when we accept your order and send you an order confirmation email. We reserve the right to reject any order at our discretion.
If we're unable to fulfil your order for any reason — for example, if an item is no longer available or has been incorrectly listed — we'll contact you as soon as possible and offer either a full refund or, where possible, an alternative piece of equivalent value.
3. Order and Payment
Placing Orders: You must be over the age of 18 or have the consent of a parent or guardian to make a purchase on this Site. By placing an order, you confirm that the information you provide is accurate and complete.
Payment: We accept major debit and credit cards, PayPal, Google Pay, and Apple Pay. All payments are processed securely. Your payment will be debited once your order is placed.
Pricing: Prices on the Site are shown in GBP (£). We reserve the right to change prices at any time but will honour the price quoted at the time of your order.
In the unlikely event of an error in the price or description of an item on the Site, we reserve the right to cancel the order and issue a full refund. We'll contact you as soon as possible if this occurs.
Delivery Charges: Delivery charges are calculated based on the shipping method and location you choose during checkout and will be clearly stated before you complete your order. Full details are available in our Shipping Policy.
4. Delivery
Shipping: We will deliver the goods to the address provided by you during checkout. Delivery times vary depending on the delivery method selected.
Delivery Times: We aim to dispatch orders within 2–5 business days. Delivery times are estimates and are not guaranteed. We are not responsible for delays caused by external factors such as weather, strikes, or postal disruptions. Detailed delivery options and timeframes are available in our Shipping Policy.
Risk and Ownership: The risk of loss or damage to the goods passes to you when the goods are delivered. Ownership of the goods remains with us until full payment is received.
5. Product Descriptions and Natural Variation
We take care to describe our products accurately, including the crystals used, dimensions, and weights. As our pieces are handmade from natural stones, minor variations in colour, shape, pattern, and inclusions are part of the character of each piece and should be expected. Photographs are taken under studio conditions and the item you receive may differ slightly in appearance when viewed under different lighting.

Returns: If you cancel your order within the 14-day cooling-off period, we will issue a full refund. You are responsible for the return postage costs.
Faulty or Damaged Goods: If the goods are faulty, damaged, or not as described, you are entitled to a repair, replacement, or refund under the Consumer Rights Act 2015. Please contact us as soon as possible if you receive faulty or damaged items.
