Because Island Boutik lists hundreds of products for sale on the website and hosts a large number of comments, it is not possible for us to be aware of the contents of each product listed for sale, or each comment or review that is displayed. Accordingly, Island Boutik operates on a "notice and takedown" basis.

Island Boutik will make all reasonable endeavours to remove the defamatory content complained about within a reasonable time.

12. Our contract
When you place an order to purchase a product from Island Boutik, we will send you an email confirming receipt of your order and containing the details of your order. Your order represents an offer to us to purchase a product which is accepted by us when we send email confirmation to you that we've dispatched that product to you (the "Dispatch Confirmation Email"). That acceptance will be complete at the time we send the Dispatch Confirmation Email to you. Any products on the same order which we have not confirmed in a Dispatch Confirmation Email to have been dispatched do not form part of that contract.
13. Returns
All sales are final. Island Boutik will only accept the return of a product if it is defective. Please notify us within fifteen (15) days of dispatch. All returns have to be authorised by email by Island Boutik and then made within 30 days of dispatch. We are not liable for the cost of returning products to us or for the safe delivery of any such products. Upon receipt of a returned product, a replacement will be sent to you immediately, provided the product is in stock. If the returned product is no longer in stock or has been discontinued, we shall contact you to offer an alternative one of similar value. If you do not wish to accept an alternative product, we shall offer the possibility of a refund in the form of a gift certificate equal to the price of the product (excluding the cost of postage and packing). If you do not wish to receive a gift certificate, we shall issue a refund to your PayPal account. We reserve the right to inspect returned items.
14. Pricing, availability and dispatch
We list availability information for products sold by us on the website, including on each product information page. Beyond what we say on that page or otherwise on the website, we cannot be more specific about availability. Please note that dispatch estimates are just that. They are not guaranteed dispatch times and should not be relied upon as such. As we process your order, we will inform you by email if any products you order turn out to be unavailable.
Despite our efforts, a small number of our products may be mispriced. Rest assured, however, that we verify prices as part of our dispatch procedures. If a product's correct price is lower than our stated price, we charge the lower amount and send you the product. If a product's correct price is higher than our stated price, we will, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before dispatch or cancel your order and notify you of such cancellation.
15. Customs
When ordering goods from Island Boutik for delivery overseas you may be subject to import duties and taxes, which are levied once the package reaches the specified destination. Any additional charges for customs clearance must be borne by you; we have no control over these charges and cannot predict what they may be. Customs policies vary widely from country to country, so you should contact your local customs office for further information. Additionally, please note that when ordering from Island Boutik, you are considered the importer of record and must comply with all laws and regulations of the country in which you are receiving the goods. Your privacy is important to us and we know that you care about how information about your order is used and shared. We would like our international customers and customers dispatching products internationally to be aware that cross-border deliveries are subject to opening and inspection by customs authorities. We decline responsibility for any product delivered to a country in the event that such delivery might contravene existing legislation of that country.

This condition does not affect your statutory rights.
18. Losses
Island Boutik, including its owners, representatives and employees, will be responsible for any losses you suffer as a result of us breaching these conditions if the losses were reasonably foreseeable to both you and us when you commenced using the website, or a contract for the sale of goods by us to you was formed. We will not be responsible for any business loss (including loss of profits, revenue, contracts, anticipated savings, data, goodwill or wasted expenditure) or any other indirect or consequential loss that is not reasonably foreseeable to both you and us when you commenced using the website or when a contract for the sale of goods by us to you was formed.
19. Alteration of Service or Amendments to the Conditions
We reserve the right to make changes to our website, policies, and these Conditions of Use & Sale at any time.

We will not be held responsible for any delay or failure to comply with our obligations under these conditions if the delay or failure arises from any cause which is beyond our reasonable control. This condition does not affect your statutory rights.
21. Waiver
