OVERVIEW


Welcome to Advertiques & Co. The terms “we”, “us” and “our” refer to Advertiques & Co. Advertiques & Co. operates this website and related services, including all information, content, features, tools, products and services made available through the website in order to provide customers with a curated shopping experience (the “Services”).


Advertiques & Co. is powered by Shopify, which enables us to provide the Services to you.


These Terms of Service, together with any policies referenced within them, describe your rights and responsibilities when using the Services.


Please read these Terms carefully before using the Services, as they include important information about your legal rights and limitations of liability.


By visiting, browsing, interacting with or using our Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy [LINK]. If you do not agree to these Terms, you should not use the Services.


SECTION 1 - ACCESS AND ACCOUNT


By agreeing to these Terms of Service, you confirm that you are at least 18 years old or are using the Services under the supervision of a parent or legal guardian.


To use certain parts of the Services, including making purchases, you may be asked to provide information such as your name, email address, billing details, delivery details and payment information. You agree that all information provided by you is accurate, current and complete.


You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account information and for all activities carried out under your account.


SECTION 2 - OUR PRODUCTS


Advertiques & Co. specialises in antique, vintage and decorative items, many of which are unique and may show signs of age, wear, patina, restoration or historic use consistent with their age and character.


We make every effort to describe and photograph items accurately. However, colours, textures and finishes may vary depending on your screen, lighting and device settings.


Due to the nature of antique and vintage items, minor imperfections, marks, fading, surface wear and age related variations should be expected and are not considered faults unless specifically stated otherwise.


All product descriptions, dimensions, availability and prices are subject to change without notice.


As many items are one of a kind, products may occasionally become unavailable before an order is processed.


Prices shown online may differ from prices displayed at antique fairs, exhibitions or in person at Wallingford Antiques Arcade.


SECTION 3 - ORDERS


When you place an order, you are making an offer to purchase an item from Advertiques & Co. We reserve the right to accept or decline any order at our discretion.


Orders are not considered accepted until payment has been received and we have confirmed acceptance.


As many items are unique, we may occasionally need to cancel an order if an item has already been sold elsewhere or is no longer available.


Please review your order carefully before submitting it, as we may not be able to accommodate cancellation requests after acceptance.


Purchases are subject to our Refund Policy [LINK].


SECTION 4 - PRICES AND BILLING


Prices and availability are subject to change without notice.


Unless otherwise stated, prices do not include delivery charges or any applicable taxes or import duties.
