We reserve the right to make changes to our Website, policies, and these Conditions at any time.

Data Privacy

Ways to Pay
We accept the following methods of payment:

Secure Payments
Authentic Sites use SSL certificates to offer secure communications by encrypting all data to and from the site. Once you’ve logged into your account and/or started the checkout procedure, to protect your personal data you’ll notice the URL change to start with HTTPS signifying that you are now using a secure connection.
When you check out on the website of a Merchant that has Stripe Checkout enabled, we will ask you if you’d like us to remember you. When you allow us to remember you, Stripe will store certain identifying information, such as your email address and your mobile phone number (“Stripe Credentials”), and your Payment Credentials. Information stored as part of your Payment Credentials may include information such as your name, the account number and the expiration date, as well as associated information like your billing address and shipping address. The advantage of remembering you is that it will make your checkout quicker and easier if you come back to the same website, or to any of the other Merchants that use Stripe (a “Stripe Enabled Merchant”) – this can be especially handy when you’re on a mobile device or don’t have your credit card in front of you.
If you elect to allow us to remember you, Stripe will use cookies to link your web browser to your Stripe Credentials and recognize when you visit a Stripe Enabled Merchant. If you come to a Stripe Enabled Merchant and we don’t recognize you (for example, because you’ve cleared your cookies, logged out, or you’re using a different device), we will provide a way for you to identify yourself and login via your Stripe Credentials (for example, by sending you a verification code via SMS text message). While you are logged in, Stripe will give you the ability to make purchases using your stored Payment Credentials. Stripe may also allow you to make a purchase with your Payment Credentials by sending a message directly from the email address or phone number stored as your Stripe Credentials (for example, to authorize a purchase via SMS).
If you send us text messages, or have us send you one, don’t forget that your carrier might charge you for that. For more information on how we use cookies, please view our Cookie Policy.

Purchase of Products
Contract Creation and Electronic Contracting
The technical steps required to create the contract between you and us are as follows:
Non-acceptance of an order may arise for a number of reasons. By way of example, this could be a result of one of the following:
The contract will be concluded in English. The details of your specific contract will not be filed by BFA Kitchen Knives Ltd.
Contract Cancellation
You will have 30* days after the day you (or someone you nominate) receives the Products (unless the Products are split into several deliveries over different days, in which case you have until 30* days after the day you (or someone you nominate) receives the last delivery) to cancel your contract with us without giving any reason.
(* this gives you more time than the 14 days you would normally be given under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013)
Please note that your right to cancel your contract does NOT apply to Products which fall into the following categories:
If you wish to exercise your right to cancel you must inform us of your decision to cancel by making a clear statement (e.g. letter sent by post, fax or email). You may use the model cancellation form at the end of these Conditions, but this is not obligatory. To ensure that we are able to process cancellations as efficiently as possible, we would recommend using the link included in our returns policy which can be found on our Returns Policy.
To meet the cancellation deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right to cancel before the cancellation period has expired.
If you cancel your contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us). We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any Products supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you. We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and no later than: (i) 14 days after the day we receive back from you any Products supplied; or (ii) (if earlier) 14 days after the day on which you provide evidence that you have returned the Products. 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.
You shall send back any Products without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your cancellation of your contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the Products before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the cost of returning the Products in circumstances where you cancel your contract.
You are only liable for any diminished value of the Products resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the Products.
Faulty Products
BFA Kitchen Knives products are covered by a minimum 12 month guarantee from the point of purchase.
In addition to the above, we are under a legal duty to supply Products that are in conformity with this contract. See details below for a summary of your key legal rights in relation to the Products. Nothing in these Conditions will affect your legal rights.
Summary of your key legal rights
This is a summary of your key legal rights. These are subject to certain exceptions. For detailed information please visit the Citizens Advice website www.adviceguide.org.uk or call 03454 04 05 06.
The Consumer Rights Act 2015 says goods must be as described, fit for purpose and of satisfactory quality. During the expected lifespan of your product your legal rights entitle you to the following:
a) Up to 30 days: if your goods are faulty, then you can get an immediate refund.
b) Up to six months: if your goods can't be repaired or replaced, then you're entitled to a full refund, in most cases.
c) Up to six years: if your goods do not last a reasonable length of time you may be entitled to some money back.
If you wish to exercise your legal rights to reject Products you must post them back to us or (if they are not suitable for posting) allow us to collect them from you. We will pay the costs of postage or collection. Please call customer services on 0330 100 1010 or email us at support@bfaknives.co.uk for a return label or to arrange collection.
Delivery and Shipping
We will send you an email with a link to track your parcel when it is dispatched. On the day of your delivery you will receive a further email with the expected delivery time and options to amend the delivery should the stated time not be convenient.
We will deliver the Products to you as soon as reasonably possible and in any event within 30 days after the day on which we accept your order (unless otherwise agreed with you). If our supply of the Products is delayed by an event outside our control then we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and we will take steps to minimise the effect of the delay. Provided we do this we will not be liable for delays caused by the event, but if there is a risk of substantial delay you may contact us to end the contract and receive a refund for any Products you have paid for but not received.
Undelivered, Lost or Damaged Parcels
Should you have been unable to take delivery of, or have refused your parcel, a refund will be authorised upon receipt of the goods at our warehouse. You will need to place the order again. We are not obliged to honour any promotional discount that was claimed on your original order if it has since expired.
If your parcel is lost or damaged whilst in transit with our courier, we will replace the item free of charge. Where relevant, we will require proof of the damage and a written statement so that we can proceed with a compensation claim.
