9. PRIVACY POLICY

You must read our Privacy Policy, which forms a part of these Terms and Conditions of Use and sets out the way in which your personal data is handled.

10. ACCEPTANCE OF ORDERS

We are only able to take orders through the online store for shipping to the countries listed on the checkout pages. If the country that you require shipping to is not visible then we will not be able to process your order.

We validate your order and credit or debit card details you submit to us before your order can be accepted. Once that has been done, we will acknowledge that your order has been received by sending an e-mail to the e-mail address you provide in your registration form.

We accept all orders for products and services subject to availability and certain security checks.

We accept payment by most major credit and debit cards. Payment will be debited from your account before the dispatch of your purchase. All credit and debit card holders are subject to validation checks and authorisation by the card issuer and ourselves. We will not be liable for any delays to your order this may cause. If the issuer of your payment card refuses to authorise payment to us or you fail our security checks, we will not be liable for any delay or non-receipt of goods.

11. COLOUR REPRODUCTION

We have made every effort to reproduce colours as accurately as possible. However, different computers reproduce colours in slightly different ways, and so exact colour matches are not yet possible over the internet. This means that when you order products from the online store, colours may differ from what you see on the screen. If you are not satisfied with the colour of the product you have ordered, we operate a returns policy.

12. PRODUCTS AND PRICING

All product prices include Value Added Tax ("VAT") where applicable. These may change in line with UK government, Customs and Excise, EU directives, and other legal interpretations issued by relevant authorities. Promotions and prices you see in high street stores and catalogues do not necessarily apply to the online store, and vice versa.

Import duties and local taxes are NOT included in the quoted price of goods being shipped to outside the EU. You will be responsible for the paying of any and all import duties and local taxes including any administration charges upon receipt.

We reserve the right to amend any prices without any prior notice and at any time and the right to add or withdraw any product at any time.

13. SHIPPING

Your order will normally be dispatched within 5 (five) working days of placing the order. Whilst we make every effort to ship goods within such timescales, however, some delays are inevitable. We shall not be liable for any delay that you may suffer in this regard. If you would like to view the status of your order please visit 'Order History' in the 'My Account' section of the online store. If, after checking your Order History, you have any questions about the status of your order then please refer to our help section.

14. SECURITY

Internet transmissions are never completely private or secure. You understand that any message or information you send to this website may be read or intercepted by others unless there is a special notice that a particular message (for example, credit card information) is encrypted (sent in code).

15. USER SUPPLIED INFORMATION

23. MISCELLANEOUS

Any waiver of any provision of these Terms and Conditions of Use must be in writing signed by British Film Institute to be valid. A waiver of any provision hereunder shall not operate as a waiver of any other provision, or a continuing waiver of the same provision in the future. If any court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of these terms to be void or unenforceable for any reason then such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of the court's finding without affecting the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. These Terms and Conditions of Use represent the entire understanding and agreement between the parties relating to the subject matter herein and supersede any and all prior statements, understandings or agreements whether oral or written, and shall not be modified except in writing, signed by you and British Film Institute.

You acknowledge that any warranties or representations (whether innocent, negligent or otherwise) which might have been made to you before agreeing to make these Terms and Conditions by or on behalf of ourselves in relation to the subject matter of these Terms and Conditions save to the extent expressly set out herein have been superseded and shall be deemed annulled and were not relied on by you and did not induce you to enter into these Terms and Conditions.

It is the intention of the parties that no term of this Agreement may be enforced by any third party notwithstanding that any such term of this Agreement may purport to confer, or may be construed as conferring, any benefit on such third party and irrespective of whether such third party is identified in this Agreement. The Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 shall not apply to any provisions of this Agreement.
