You agree not to use a false name or register as someone else without that person’s prior knowledge and permission, or create multiple accounts.

4. Pricing

We work out our prices without VAT. We then add VAT to the cost of items for customers who pay it. Some of our prices may be rounded to the nearest penny. Occasionally, when buying large quantities of the same thing, items may appear to be an extra penny or two more expensive. For example, a half pan that retails for 20p including VAT will be more like 20.01p. A customer ordering 100 of them will be charged £20.01 as a result. While we are unable to change this, we are happy to remove the difference between the displayed price and the actual price. Please contact our Customer Service Team if your order is affected. 

All prices listed on our website are inclusive of VAT except for VAT-exempt products such as books. If you purchase goods to be delivered outside of the EU, the VAT will be removed from your order during Checkout.

5. Lowest Prices on the Web Guarantee

TN Lawrence is never knowingly beaten on price and we regularly check our competitor’s prices to make sure we offer the best prices.

We try to provide our customers with the best possible value and service on our wide range of high-quality art materials. If you find the same product at a lower price on an Australian website just let us know where you have seen it and we will match the price. If you find a lower price within seven days of your purchase from TN Lawrence, we will credit the difference to your account.

We understand that sometimes you may want to return an unwanted item and get your money back. We are happy to issue credit notes or refunds for any items with proof of purchase from us that are returned in a saleable condition within 30 days of the receipt of your order. You are responsible for returning the items to us. The items must be securely packaged to ensure that they arrive back to us undamaged. You must let us know about any order errors or shortfalls within seven days. 

We strongly recommend that you return the product via Registered Post and get proof of postage. You assume any risk of lost goods during transit and therefore we suggest you insure your parcel. We will not be responsible for parcels lost or damaged in transit if you choose not to insure them. 

Please note, orders returned by claiming they were delivered to an incorrect address in an attempt to avoid paying return postage, result in fees being applied to us by the courier. We reserve the right to deduct this courier fee from any refund owed on the returning goods.

Returns after 30 days?

We don’t accept any returns for unwanted items after 30 days. If you try to make a return, we may have to send your item back to you and ask you to cover the delivery costs. 

For more information, visit our Returns Page.

15. RECEPTION OF GOODS: DAMAGED, FAULTY OR MISSING ITEMS

We aim to minimise the risk of damage to products in transit by wrapping and packing as securely as possible and we aim to only supply products in a saleable condition, however there are rare instances when damage occurs in transit or products present manufacturing faults. 

All products should be checked upon reception, and the parcels should be opened carefully to avoid spillages, further damage to goods, and/or damage to other property (carpets/clothing, etc).

We will replace or refund any goods damaged in transit, but will not be held responsible for any secondary damage caused by those goods on arrival. We will not compensate you for damage caused by uncarefully opening a parcel (such as a long sharp blade through the box packing tape that cuts internal goods). 

If items within packaging are damaged, faulty or missing, please notify our Customer Service Team as soon as possible after delivery. Please keep the packaging, and any damaged or faulty products, so that we may assess the situation and to help us see where our packers can improve, and to claim the damages with the courier.

If you dispose of the packaging, and any damaged or faulty products, before contacting us, or contact us 14 days after delivery, then this could affect any claim.

We will always attempt to replace or refund any damaged, faulty or missing products.

We have a loyalty scheme to thank our customers. Since the summer of 2012, we have been giving points with every order placed.

You can see your points and their value by viewing your account details in ‘My Account’.

With every £5 you spend with us you will receive 50 points, which amounts to 5p savings on your next order.

You can let the points build up and treat yourself to a free tube of paint, or redeem your points each time you shop. We will run additional points’ related offers and promotions, so look out for these online. 

Please note, points can only be used once and can’t be exchanged for cash.

Reward Points are valid for three years from the date you received them.

18. Descriptions of Products

We take all reasonable care to ensure that all the details, descriptions and prices of products appearing on our website are correct. Colour swatches that appear online give a rough indication of the colour of the art supply listed, however, due to the different settings of computer monitors it is impossible to rely 100% on the accuracy of the image as viewed on screen. It is your risk to order unfamiliar colours, and the costs of any returns are your responsibility if the actual colour is not appropriate for your requirements. Although we aim to keep the website up-to-date, the information (including Product Descriptions) on this website may not always reflect the position exactly at the moment you place an order. We cannot confirm the price of a product until your order is accepted by us. We reserve the right to alter prices at any time. In the unlikely event that a price has been entered incorrectly on the website our customer service team will contact you as soon as possible to inform you of the correct price. You are under no obligation to continue with the order.
