Interactive services
We may from time to time provide interactive services on our site.
Where we do provide any interactive service, we will provide clear information to you about the kind of service offered, if it is moderated and what form of moderation is used (including whether it is human or technical).
We will do our best to assess any possible risks for users (and in particular, for children) from third parties when they use any interactive service provided on our site, and we will decide in each case whether it is appropriate to use moderation of the relevant service (including what kind of moderation to use) in the light of those risks. However, we are under no obligation to oversee, monitor or moderate any interactive service we may provide on our site, and we expressly exclude our liability for any loss or damage arising from the use of any interactive service by a user in contravention of our content standards, whether the service is moderated or not.
The use of any of our interactive services by a minor is subject to the consent of their parent or guardian. We advise parents who permit their children to use an interactive service that it is important that they communicate with their children about their safety online, as moderation is not foolproof. Minors who are using any interactive service should be made aware of the potential risks to them.
Where we do moderate an interactive service, we will normally provide you with a means of contacting the moderator, should a concern or difficulty arise.

If you have any compliments or complaints about our products or services, please email info@barefootcreations.co.uk. We try really hard to respond to all email to this address within one working day (but please be patient with us if it gets really busy and we take slightly longer).
2.3 How we may contact you. If we have to contact you we will do so by telephone or by writing to you at the email address or postal address you provided to us in your order.
2.4 “Writing” includes emails. When we use the words “writing” or “written” in these terms, this includes emails.
3. Our contract with you
3.1 How we will accept your order. Your order is an offer to Barefoot Creations to buy the product(s) in your order. When you place an order to purchase a product(s) from Barefoot Creations, we will send you a message confirming receipt of your order and including the details of your order (the “Order Confirmation”). When we send you the Order Confirmation this does not confirm acceptance of your offer to buy the product(s) ordered, it is an acknowledgment that we have received your order. Our acceptance of your offer, and conclusion of the sale of a product(s) to you, will take place when we email you to confirm the order has been dispatched to you, at which point a contract will come into existence between you and us.
3.2 If we cannot accept your order. If we are unable to accept your order, we will inform you of this in writing. This might be because the product is out of stock, because of unexpected limits on our resources which we could not reasonably plan for because we have identified an error in the price or description of the product or because we are unable to make delivery within a reasonable timeframe due to issues with stock availability.
3.3 Your order number. We will assign an order number to your order and tell you what it is when we receive your order. It will help us if you can tell us the order number whenever you contact us about your order. If you have not received an order number please contact us at info@barefootcreations.co.uk.
4. Our products
4.1 Products may vary slightly from their pictures. The images of the products on our website are for illustrative purposes only. Although we have made every effort to display the colours accurately, we cannot guarantee that a device’s display of the colours accurately reflects the colour of the products. Your product may vary slightly from those images. Although we have made every effort to be as accurate as possible, because some of our products are handmade, sizes, weights, capacities, dimensions and measurements indicated on our Website for these products have a reasonable tolerance of difference.
4.2 Product packaging may vary. The packaging of the product may vary from that shown in images on our website.
5. Delivery & shipping
5.1 Free UK delivery over £50. We offer free standard delivery applicable on UK Mainland orders over £50 only. Please note UK Mainland delivery excludes post codes beginning AB, KW, IV, PA and PH except for AB 1 to 16, AB 21 to 25, AB 30 and AB 39, PA1 to PA 19 and PH1 to PH3.
5.2 Our delivery process.
(a) When you place an item in your shopping basket, you can use our delivery calculator to view the shipping cost. This way you know exactly how much you’re spending on delivery before you make any commitment to buy. Please ensure your delivery details and especially the delivery country is correct.
(b) We‘ll send you an email when your order is despatched. We can’t deliver to PO Boxes or packstation addresses. Delivery to hotel addresses will be at your own risk, please be sure to state your room number and dates of stay. Please note that delivery times quoted are for your guidance only and are not guaranteed. As we’re sure you know, nothing is 100% certain (especially when it involves the roads), and very occasionally the next day service isn’t. Generally however, there are no problems and your order will arrive as planned.
(c) Please be aware that courier notes containing extra information for delivery are at the discretion of the delivery driver to comply with. We employ a signed for service in which the courier is expected to obtain a signature upon delivery. If a delivery note expressing alternate delivery instructions is complied with and results in a lost parcel, any claim for compensation would be invalidated.
(d) If everything in your order is in stock, we’ll aim to send it out within a day or so. If something is out of stock, we’ll wait until we have everything here to send in one parcel (this is more economical and helps to keep our carbon footprint down), or we can split your order and send what we can right away, subject to extra shipping charges. We don’t automatically do this though – so let us know if you’d like us to.
(e) Once we have accepted your order we will deliver the goods to you no later than 30 days from acceptance unless we have notified you and agreed a longer delivery timeframe.
(f) We are not responsible for delays outside our control. 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.
5.3 Delivery pricing & timescales

Failure to pay these charges will mean that your parcel will be returned to the UK. Should this happen, your original shipping charges will be forfeited as well as any other associated return costs. If the cost of return is greater than the value of the order then the whole cost of the order will be forfeited. Please make sure that you understand what process and costs may apply for delivery to your country.
5.4 Damaged, incomplete & undelivered orders:
(a) My order was damaged in transit, what do I do?
We do our best to pack each order thoroughly and carefully, but on occasion parcels do arrive damaged. In these instances please sign for the parcel as DAMAGED and take clear photos of the parcel before you open it to inspect the contents. If you then find that the contents have been damaged or are missing, please call us within 5 working days so we can raise a claim with the couriers. We will require photographs in order to progress your claim. Although we may still be able to raise a claim after this time it may be rejected by the courier company. If you sign for a damaged parcel you are accepting delivery and we will not be liable for any goods that have been damaged or went missing during transit.
(b) I have an item(s) missing from my delivery, what do I do?
Firstly, ensure that your parcel was not damaged upon receipt. If it was, please follow the steps outlined above.
Our warehouse team will often wrap your items within blankets and in-between bolsters to ensure they are protected during transit, so please ensure that you open each and every parcel and remove everything from their boxes. If you discover that an item(s) is missing, email us ASAP to let us know. Our aim will be to get you your missing item(s) immediately. The only reason we would not be able to resend a missing item from your order is if the item(s) are out of stock.
(c) Some items are shipped direct from supplier.
Some items we sell are shipped to you direct from our supplier, if this is the case you will receive your order in 2 or more parts. All products that are shipped out separately are clearly noted as such on our website. If you receive an incomplete order, please check your order to see if it contains one of these items.
(d) Unfortunately, sometimes our inventory isn’t what we thought it was.
We work very hard with our warehouse team to ensure our stock is correct, however sometimes things go wrong and what we think we have in stock is not what we have on the shelf. If our inventory is incorrect when picking your order, we will normally ship out the items that we do have in stock and cancel the unavailable item(s). In these instances, you will be notified via email the following day and refunded in full for the missing item(s). We will also get back in touch when the item is in stock again, should you wish to place a new order. We apologise in advance if this happens with your order.
(e) I’ve been waiting for my order and it hasn’t arrived, what do I do?
We do our best to despatch items in a timely fashion. From time to time a delivery is delayed due to unforeseen reasons such as a delivery lorry breaking down or adverse weather. If you have a tracking number for your order, please go online to check for any updates direct from our couriers. You can find this in your despatch email confirmation.
On the rare occasion some parcels go missing, usually, the goods have just been misplaced by the courier or misrouted and will turn up within a couple of days. For all courier deliveries, an investigation will take 5 working days. If you have not received your order after you have received your despatch confirmation email, please get in touch with us so we can raise this investigation. We need to allow the couriers’ time to deliver your order so depending on your location and delivery method, please use the following table to help you decide when to contact us. Although we may still be able to trace your items after the time stated, we will not consider claims for lost items or undelivered after the stated period.
Royal Mail/Airmail | |
UK | 10 working days |
EU | 15 working days |
Rest of Europe | 15 working days |
Rest of the world | 20 working days |
(f) My parcel has not arrived, what do I do?
Occasionally orders are returned to us as undeliverable. An order could be returned for one of the following reasons.
(i) Incorrect address
If the address is incorrect, outdated or is rejected because it is a PO Box or packstation, the parcel will typically be returned to us by the carrier or the unintended recipient. We are unable to make address changes for parcels after they have left us. Please double-check the address carefully when placing your order. Should your parcel be returned to us, your order will be refunded less any shipping costs and an email sent to notify you. You will need to place a new order online.
(ii) Failed delivery attempts
Most of our carriers will make more than one attempt to deliver a parcel. If they find that they can’t successfully deliver your parcel it may be returned to us or left at a local depot for you to arrange collection. If not collected, the parcel will be returned to us. Should this happen, your order will be refunded less any shipping costs and an email sent to notify you. You will need to place a new order online.
(iii) Refused by recipient
When ordering a gift to be sent directly to the recipient, please be sure that they are aware. A gift recipient who isn’t expecting a gift may refuse a parcel if they believe it’s being delivered to them by mistake. Should this happen, your order will be refunded less any shipping costs and an email sent to notify you. You will need to place a new order online.
(iv) Unpaid customs charges
International deliveries outside the UK may be subject to customs clearance. These charges can include import duty, handling fees, local taxes and other costs. Barefoot Creations is not responsible for these costs or for any delays caused by Customs or other government authorities. Failure to pay these charges will mean that your parcel will be returned to the UK. Please make sure that you understand what process and costs may apply for delivery to your country. Should this happen, your original shipping charges will be forfeited as well as any other associated return costs. If the cost of return is greater than the value of the order then the whole cost of the order will be forfeited.
(v) Illegible address
In rare cases address labels may become illegible in transit. If this happens a carrier will return the parcel to us. In these instances, we will reship free of charge.
(vi) Damaged in transit
If a parcel is badly damaged while it’s on its way to you the carrier may return it without attempting delivery. In these instances, we will repack and reship free of charge.
5.5 When you become responsible for the goods. The product or products ordered will be your responsibility from the time we deliver the product to the address provided by you.
5.6 When you own goods. You own the products once we have received payment in full.
5.7 Reasons we may suspend the supply of products to you. We may have to suspend the supply of a product to:
(a) deal with technical problems or make minor technical changes;
(b) update the product to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements;

Any items that have clearly been used will be not refunded even if they are returned to us. Any rejected returns cannot be reshipped and will be destroyed upon receipt.
Please contact us if you are unsure about our returns process.
The postage and handling of your return is your responsibility. Please ensure that you obtain proof of postage when sending your parcel back as we cannot be held responsible for any orders that do not arrive back to us. You may be able to claim compensation through your chosen return service if you have proof of postage.
Returns can only be refunded to the person who originally placed and paid for the order, and the refund can only be processed back to the same payment method. Refunds can take up to 14 days after receipt of the return.
PLEASE NOTE THAT PERSONALISED ORDERS CANNOT BE CANCELLED, EXCHANGED OR RETURNED.
6.5. Exchanges
We are not able to offer an exchange service on unwanted goods. This ensures that we can maintain high stock levels and keep an up-to-date inventory at all times.
The quickest and easiest way for you to get exactly what you want in a different colour or size is to simply return the unwanted item and order another. Please refer to section 4. Returns.
PLEASE NOTE THAT PERSONALISED ORDERS CANNOT BE CANCELLED, EXCHANGED OR RETURNED.
6.6 DonationsTo support various charities, we offer you the chance to donate to one of our nominated charities during the checkout process. All donations will be passed to charities at least four times a year. Occasionally, Yogamatters will pledge to match donations in the checkout. For such fixed periods, we will match donations made during the full period. Unless noted elsewhere at the time, Barefoot Creations will pledge to match up to £1000 in checkout donations for each fixed period. No refunds are possible on donated amounts.
7. Price & Payment
7.1 Where to find the price for the product. The price of the product (which includes VAT) will be the price indicated on the order pages when you placed your order. We take all reasonable care to ensure that the price of the product advised to you is correct. However please see clause 7.3 for what happens if we discover an error in the price of the product you order.
7.2 We will pass on changes in the rate of VAT. If the rate of VAT changes between your order date and the date we supply the product, we will adjust the rate of VAT that you pay, unless you have already paid for the product in full before the change in the rate of VAT takes effect.
7.3 What happens if we got the price wrong. It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the products we sell may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices before accepting your order so that, where the product’s correct price at your order date is less than our stated price at your order date, we will charge the lower amount. If the product’s correct price at your order date is higher than the price stated to you, we will contact you for your instructions before we accept your order.
7.4 When you must pay and how you must pay. We accept payment for orders by card and PayPal payments; if you choose PayPal you will be directed to their site to complete the payment.

If you are ending a contract for a reason set out at (a) to (d) below the contract will end immediately and we will refund you in full for any products which have not been provided and you may also be entitled to compensation. The reasons are:

(b) there is a risk that supply of the products may be significantly delayed because of events outside our control;
(c) we have suspended supply of the products for technical reasons, or notify you we are going to suspend them for technical reasons, in each case for a period of more than 30 days; or
(d) you have a legal right to end the contract because of something we have done wrong

You do not have a right to change your mind in respect of:

(d) any products which become mixed inseparably with other items after their delivery.

You have 30 days after the day you (or someone you nominate) receives the goods, unless your goods are split into several deliveries over different days. In this case you have until 30 days after the day you (or someone you nominate) receives the last delivery to change your mind about the goods.

If you are exercising your right to change your mind:
(a) We may reduce your refund of the price (excluding delivery costs) to reflect any reduction in the value of the goods, if this has been caused by your handling them in a way which would not be permitted in a shop. See section 6.4 – Returns for information about what handling is and is not acceptable. If we refund you the price paid before we are able to inspect the goods and later discover you have handled them in an unacceptable way, you must pay us an appropriate amount.
(b) The maximum refund for delivery costs will be the costs of delivery by the least expensive delivery method we offer.
9.6 When your refund will be made. We will make any refunds due to you as soon as possible. If you are exercising your right to change your mind then and we have not offered to collect the products from you, your refund will be made within 14 days from the day on which we receive the product back from you or, if earlier, the day on which you provide us with evidence that you have sent the product back to us.
