Please read through these Terms & Conditions carefully before placing your order. By using this website and/or placing an order you agree to be bound by the terms and conditions set out below. Please also read our Privacy Policy regarding personal information provided by you, and our Delivery page for information on shipping.

Before placing an order, if you have any queries relating to these terms and conditions, please contact us: info@pinkhot.co.uk
1. Payment
All online payments are taken through Stripe secure payment gateway and PayPal. PayPal offers a safe, secure method of payment. You do not need a PayPal account in order to pay in this manner as PayPal offers the option to pay using a credit or debit card.
Pinkhot will also accept payment by cheque, if you wish to pay by cheque please contact us for details.
2. Handmade Jewellery
2.1 Please note that every effort is made to represent the colours accurately, both by picture and description, but please be aware that colours may differ slightly between monitors.
2.2 If you see something you like but would like it in a different colour or size then please contact me. Commissions are happily undertaken upon request.
2.3 After care
Each item of Pinkhot jewellery is handcrafted with love and patience, and remains delicate in nature. Therefore you need to be aware of a few things when you take home your new treasure.
Perfume may discolour some of the stones or finishes on the individual beads. Therefore avoid wearing perfume on your neck or wrists if it will be in contact with the piece.
Always remove Pinkhot jewellery when washing your hands. The colours in the beads may wear off over time but exposing them to water will definitely wear off the colour, particularly on certain beads. It may also weaken the threads inside the work. To remove fingerprints or marks on large crystals simply rub gently with a soft cloth to bring back their sparkle!
Be gentle with your jewellery and handle it with care and it will last you. All Pinkhot pieces are finished to a high standard, however in the unlikely event a breakage does occur then please contact me and I will be happy to repair the piece for you.
3. Returns and refunds
If you are unhappy with your order for any reason please contact us within 5 working days of receiving your package.
We will do our best to resolve the problem quickly. Refunds and exchanges are taken on a case-by-case basis.
3.1 Please note that due to the nature of downloadable patterns we do not offer a refund on Digital PDFs or Virtual Classes, however if you are not completely satisfied please contact us.
If you have any queries with your order then please contact us.
3.2 Returning goods
Please package your order as securely as it was received. Please include a note with as much detail as you can so that we can process your return as quickly as possible.
You will be responsible for the cost of getting the goods back to us. Please use additional tracking services for your own peace of mind if the goods returned are of high value. If we do not receive the goods back we are unable to exchange or refund them.

3.4 Handmade jewellery – returns
Commissioned jewellery cannot be refunded unless faulty (for example if a piece has been damaged during carriage). If you would like to return an item of jewellery please see the returns policy below.
Please note that earrings may not be returned due to hygiene reasons unless faulty. I cannot be held responsible for any items lost or damaged in transit.

We want to make sure that you are able to complete the project.
4.5 A lot of time and effort goes into creating these designs, so whilst we are happy for you to sell any items you make using Pinkhot patterns, we do ask that you credit Chloe as the designer. However we kindly ask that you do not copy, teach or share Pinkhot patterns online or with friends.
