If this is necessary, we will initially bear the costs but may ask you to reimburse us if the goods are found to be satisfactory.

     4.2. Refunds

      4.2.1. Full refunds will be given as a result of claims under Section 3.4. All other refunds will be based on the replacement cost of the goods. This means you may not receive all the money you paid.

8. CONFIDENTIALITY

We prefer you to use the secure transaction services to make credit card transactions since this service is completely independent of our organization and your credit card details are not divulged to us at any time.

9. DISCLAIMER

   9.1 Due to the nature of reclaimed and vintage fabric and buttons there may be slight variations in the materials. Here at Button Lea we believe this gives the items character and often, after some wear, the corsages have a more frayed and rustic appeal.
