Terms and Conditions
Overview
This site is operated by the Legalize It. We Think So (LIWTS) team. Throughout these terms when we refer to “we” “us” and “our” we are referring to LIWTS.
By using the website, you agree to accept our terms, conditions, policies and notices stated here. When purchasing you are again given the option to accept our terms and conditions. If you do not accept these we cannot accept an order from you. So before agreeing to our terms please read the entirety of the Terms and Conditions.
Age of Consent
By using this website, you confirm that you are of legal age to purchase these items. In the UK that age is 18 and in some parts of the world it is 21. Please check your local laws to ensure that you meet this minimum requirement as if you purchase and are found to be a minor we reserve the right to cancel and refund your order. We can also disable your LIWTS account to ensure you cannot purchase again.
Providing Personal Details
By purchasing, you agree that all details you provide when ordering or purchasing goods or services are correct, that the credit or debit card you are using is your own and that there are sufficient funds to cover the cost of the goods or services ordered. When you make your first order, we will only ship to the billing address of the card you used to pay with. This is an anti-fraud measure we use to ensure that the card holder has made the purchase. If the billing address is not used we will not process the order and will refund the payment.
Change of address/ incorrect address: If you order using an incorrect address please let us know as soon as possible so we can change the address before the order is sent. If the order has been sent already it will be returned to us by the postal service/ courier. If this happens we may impose a surcharge of £19.95 to redeliver the order and on occasion we may be able to contact the courier and get the parcel redirected. If this happens there is a charge of £9.95. Both of these charges are imposed by the courier service and we will pass the cost across to you. If you decide to return the order to us and receive a refund we will deduct the cost of this shipping from the money refunded.
Card Payments
When purchasing using a credit, debit, or pre-paid card you agree that your content (not including card information) may be transferred unencrypted over various networks as payment gateways/ processors are provided by third parties. Any card information will remain encrypted whilst being transferred from one network to another.
Other Payment Types
If you pay by any other method of payment such as cash, check, Bitcoin and bank transfer we will not dispatch the order until full payment has been received and cleared into our account. If paying by check it can take 2-3 weeks to clear after we receive it. This is because international checks have to be physically presented by the receiving bank to the bank making payment before being processed and then have a longer clearing time than non-international checks.
Right to Refuse Service
We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone at any time. We do not have to give reason to do so but will only use this in exceptional circumstances or if we have reason to believe the site is being misused. If any potential or actual customer intimates that they are purchasing any item for illegal use then we will cancel and refund the order immediately.
Site Information
We will always endeavor to maintain all information on our site, however, from time to time we may not be able to make the relevant updates in time and some information may be inaccurate. This could include but is not limited to whether an item is in stock, the cost or specification of said item. If you make an order and it is affected by this, a member of the customer service team will contact you. If an item is out of stock we will offer the opportunity to either wait for new stock, to exchange the item for another of the same price or a full refund.
If an error has been made on the price of an item we reserve the right to cancel and refund the order. If we have overcharged by mistake we will refund the additional charge as soon as the error is noticed by our team. If you notice an error please contact the Customer Service team.
Site Images
We do everything possible to accurately represent the items on sale through photography provided to us by the product manufacturers and distributors. On occasion this may not offer a 100% accurate portrayal of the item. This is because certain products are handmade, so do have minor differences. Some colours are also difficult to represent on screen. If there is a major difference and you are unhappy with your product please contact LIWTS Customer Service team through [email protected].

When you e-mail please send the customer service team the order number and let them know what the fault is. Please be aware this does not cover accidental damages.
Faulty/Damaged Goods

We recommend using an insured delivery method; however, we will not accept extra charges for Fed-Ex or other overnight courier services.
Please make sure that you have clearly read any instructions that may have come with the product, or may be displayed on our website, as products found not to be faulty when they come back to us, will be sent back to you at your cost. Please note that our return policy also applies.
Exchanges
