Third Party Sellers

SealsOnline is a buyer and seller of third party seller’s goods. From time to time SealsOnline will be neither the buyer nor the seller and only a facilitator to the transaction between Third party sellers and buyers on the website. When SealsOnline is only a facilitator to the transaction between Third party sellers and buyers which will be indicated on the website, then the third party seller is solely responsible for the fulfilment of delivery of the goods and also responsible to provide an invoice to the buyer if required.

SealsOnline and also some third party sellers may not be registered for VAT and will therefore not be able to charge VAT and issue a tax invoice in respect thereof.

Conclusion of Sales and availability of stock

Users may place orders for goods, which SealsOnline or the Third Party Seller may accept or reject. Whether or not SealsOnline or the Third Party Seller accepts an order depends on the availability of goods, correctness of the information relating to the goods including without limitation the price and receipt of payment or payment authorisation by SealsOnline for the goods.

SealsOnline or the Third Party Seller will indicate the acceptance of your order by delivering the goods to you, and only at that point will an agreement of sale between you and SealsOnline or the Third Party Seller come into effect (the “Sale”). This is regardless of any communication from SealsOnline stating that your order or payment has been confirmed. SealsOnline will indicate the rejection of your order by SealsOnline itself or the Third Party Seller by cancelling it and, as soon as possible thereafter, refunding you for any amount already paid.

Prior to delivery, you may cancel an order at any time provided you do so before receiving a dispatch or delivery notice. After delivery you may return the goods only in accordance with the Returns Policy.

You acknowledge that stock of all Goods on offer is limited and that pricing may change at any time without notice to you. In the case of Goods for sale by SealsOnline, SealsOnline will take all reasonable efforts to monitor stock levels and ensure that when stock is no longer available, that offers thereof are discontinued on the website. However, we cannot guarantee the availability of stock. When Goods are no longer available after you have placed an order, SealsOnline will notify you and you will be entitled to a refund of any amount already paid by you for such Goods.

In the case of Goods for sale by a Third Party Seller, SealsOnline relies on inventory information supplied by the relevant Third Party Seller and SealsOnline accordingly bears no liability for any inaccuracies in the information supplied to it. Consequently, should you order any Goods from a Third Party Sellers which are in fact sold-out, any resulting dispute should be resolved between you and the relevant Third Party Seller, your respective rights and obligations being as set out in these Terms and Conditions.

Made-to-order offers

Made-to-order offers allows you to place pre orders for products that have not been produced or completed yet or which need customising with unique requirements.

When you choose the Made-to-order offer, SealsOnline or a third party seller then completes a security verification and sample agreement.

Should the security verification and sample agreement done by SealsOnline or a third party seller be deemed unsuccessful, we will indicate the rejection of your order by cancelling it, and as soon as possible thereafter, refunding you for any amount already paid.

You will be charged immediately when choosing a Made-to-order offer.

You are entitled to cancel your Made-to-order offer to the point at which you receive a notification of the completed and signed security verification and sample agreement.

SealsOnline or a third party seller reserves the right to discontinue without refund before starting or during manufacture of a Made-to-order offer and to destroy materials in relation to that specific made-to-order if notice of cancelation is received after the security verification and sample agreement has been completed, received by SealsOnline or a third party seller.

No refunds for cancellations sent to us by email will be considered after receiving your signed off security verification and sample agreement.

Should it be established that payments and orders received are made for the purpose of fraudulent or criminal activities, no refunds will be permitted and the relevant authorities will be contacted.
