ETHICAL SOURCING POLICY

Sahara Ltd. takes very seriously its obligation to ensure that its suppliers operate ethically. We routinely check that our direct suppliers provide an environment for their employees which protects their health and safety and human rights. We are a hands-on organisation with exceptionally high standards. We work directly with our suppliers and ensure that our teams visit the factories we work with personally. We believe in maintaining a friendly relationship with our suppliers, we love our work and we will only work with those who share the love and passion for what we do. We physically work alongside the machinists and pattern cutters at our factories wherever we can and as such we experience first-hand the conditions in which our producers work, we eat with them, and we use their facilities when we visit. Further, we have mutually respectful relationships with the creatives with whom we work, we believe in exchanging ideas and skillsets, and we learn enormously from the skilled artisans we work alongside and we develop our products with them. In return they learn from us; this is an ever-evolving, enjoyable two-way process. We expect and ensure to the best of our ability that our suppliers comply with their respective national employment laws and regulations, particularly in regards to the minimum age of employment, health and safety, freedom of association and the right to collective bargaining, no discrimination, fair rates of pay, no inhumane or harsh treatment & fair working hours.

Sahara warrants that the products on its website will be of satisfactory quality and fit for their general purpose. We endeavour to make sure that all information on our website is accurate and correct at all times and will try to resolve any errors on the website as soon as reasonably possible. If you believe that an error has affected your purchase, please contact us by calling +44 (0)20 7483 8435 or email us at customercare@saharalondon.com, although we must stress, this does not admit liability on Sahara Ltd.’s part. Shopping online is as much fun as buying in-store, but it is a very different experience for the consumer. It is important to note that colours displayed on our website can vary depending on a range of factors including your computer screen and display settings, over which Sahara Ltd. has no control. Sizes and measurements given are approximations only and should be used as such. All goods are subject to availability, which means in certain circumstances we may not be able to fulfil your order. Delivery timings are estimates only, particularly for the standard UK and International shipping services, which are beyond our control. Goods and promotions which are offered on our website may not always be available. It is your responsibility to ensure that your login, password and all other details concerning your account remain confidential at all times.

-

PRICING & PAYMENT

The price of our products will be quoted on our site from time to time, except in cases of obvious error. All prices are inclusive of VAT. All prices are shown in pounds sterling. We currently accept payment by Visa, Mastercard, PayPal, Delta and Switch. Unless otherwise stated, postage and packing charges apply to your order. Where we charge separately for packing, carriage and insurance and other relevant charges, the appropriate rates are set out in our specified pricing structure shown in the Delivery & Returns section on this website.

-

VAT

The price of our products includes VAT (where applicable) at the applicable current rate chargeable in the UK for the time being. If the rate of VAT changes between the date of your order and the date of delivery, we will adjust the VAT you pay, unless you have already paid for the products in full before the change in VAT takes effect

-

VAT- WITHIN THE EU

If shipping within the EU or to territories where VAT is applicable, all prices displayed include VAT at the current rate of 20%.

-

VAT - INTERNATIONAL DELIVERIES

VAT, whilst chargeable on non-EU purchases, is zero-rated. This means that the price you see includes 0% VAT. Therefore, we cannot provide VAT refunds on non-EU orders or orders shipped to TAX / VAT havens.

-

PAY-IN-3 WITH KLARNA

We’ve teamed up with Klarna to offer you a new flexible payment method - split the cost of your purchase into three interest-free instalments. You can find out more on our dedicated Klarna page here.

DISCOUNTS & SPECIAL OFFERS

We reserve the right to terminate any special offer at any time, without notice. Discounts and promotions may not run concurrently between our website and our stores, please check the terms and conditions relevant to each promotion. Equally, store promotions may take place individually, such as special events that might be part of a local campaign. Discount codes unless specified otherwise are valid for one use per customer only. If a discount has been awarded during an online promotion or sale event, and subsequently items(s) are returned to us from that order taking the total value of your purchase below the qualifying threshold required to achieve the discount, you will no longer qualify for the promotional discount and the amount refunded to you will reflect this. For example, if a promotion for 10% discount requires a spend of £150 and you return an item from that purchase that takes your total spend below £150, your discount will no longer apply to the entire order, and the refunded amount may be less than the (discounted) amount paid for the item so that it equals the full original price of the item(s) that you have kept. The same applies to free P&P offers. Your legal rights are unaffected.

-

PRE-ORDERING

If your order contains pre-order item(s) we will aim to despatch your entire order within 3-4 weeks of your original order date. Please note your entire order will be held until your pre-order item(s) are ready for delivery. Should we experience any further delays then we will contact you to inform you of an estimated order delivery date. Sahara will notify you via email once your order is ready for delivery. If you place an order that contains both pre-order and currently-available items, you won’t receive the order until all the items are ready. If you require certain items to be despatched earlier we ask you to contact our Customer Care team via phone on +44(0)20 7483 8435 or via email at customercare@saharalondon.com. Should you require any further assistance then do not hesitate to contact us.
