Please read the Terms and the Other Terms carefully before you start to use the Services. By using the Sites, Stores and Interacting with us on the Social Media, you are agreeing to these Terms and the Other Terms (collectively “Our Terms”) and agree to comply with them. If you do not agree to Our Terms you must not use the Services.

Content on the services

The content on the Services is provided for general information only. It is not intended to amount to advice on which you should rely. We will update the Services from time to time, and may change the content at any time. Although we make reasonable efforts to update the information on the Services, we make no representations, warranties or guarantees, whether express or implied, that the content on the Services is accurate, complete or up-to-date. We do not guarantee that the Services or any content on them, will always be available or be uninterrupted. We may suspend, withdraw, discontinue or change all or any part of the Services without notice. 

Placing an order on sites

When you go through the checkout process and place an Order with us on the Sites (even where you are a guest i.e. where you have not logged into an house of fency Account (“Guest”)) you will have provided to us various information about you including your name, email address, payment address, delivery address and telephone number. You must ensure that the details you input are correct and personal to you (e.g. you must not use a generic email address (e.g. accounts@houseoffency.com) or an email address that is used by another person) to ensure the accuracy and security of your information and to ensure that we can tailor our services to you. We use the email addresses you have inputted as a Guest to link Orders to you so it is important that this email address is personal to you to ensure the security of your information and to ensure that our information about you is kept accurate and up to date.

Where you are placing an Order as a Guest you will be given the opportunity to register for a house of fency  Account. We will use the details that you have inputted during the checkout process to set up your account and then so all you will need to do is input a password which you will need to login to your house of fency Account. You must ensure that the email address you have inputted is personal to you, if it is not, please do not proceed to registration otherwise the other persons using your email address may be able to access your account and all your Account Information (see below). You must also ensure that the password that you set is not obvious to any third party to ensure the security of your Account Information.

Where you are an house of eikla Account holder and you proceed through the checkout without logging into your house of fency Account upon inputting of the email address (that you use to login to your house of fency Account) you will be prompted to login to your house of fency Account by being asked to input your password. If you input your password, you will be logged in and the relevant fields in the checkout process will be populated with your Personal Details. If you do not input your password, you will be treated as a Guest and will need to complete your information in the relevant fields of the checkout process.

Where you proceed as a Guest we will store your Order details against your email address. We will repeat this process each time you use the Sites and place an Order using that email address.

Your house of fency account details

When you register an house of fency Account you will be required to provide certain details about you including your name, email address, payment address, delivery address, and you will be asked to provide an email address and password which you will need to use to login to your house of fency Account (“Login Details”) (collectively the “Personal Details”). You must also ensure that the password that you set is not obvious to any third party to ensure the security of your Account Information.

You must regularly review the Personal Details provided and change any details where your circumstances change e.g. where you change your address, email address or name. It is your responsibility to ensure your Personal Details are kept accurate and up to date. It is important that your details are kept accurate and up to date to ensure we can tailor our services to you and ensure our service is as efficient as possible for you, for example, we will use your details to pre-populate fields your Personal Details in the checkout process when you are logged in.

It is important and you must ensure, that your Personal Details are personal to you (and not anyone else), for example, you must not as part of your Login Details or otherwise, provide a generic email address (e.g. accounts@houseoffency.com) or an email address that is used by another person.

You must also treat all your Personal Details as confidential information. You must in no circumstances disclose your Login Details to any other person.
