Terms of Service

Last updated: 20 July 2026

These terms apply when you use hellosailor.me or buy from Hello Sailor Me, an independent small business based in the United Kingdom.

1. About Us

Hello Sailor Me is an independent UK small business run by Michelle Doughty. All orders are fulfilled from the United Kingdom. Contact: hello@hellosailor.me.

2. Placing an Order

When you place an order, you're making an offer to buy. We'll email you a confirmation once the order is accepted. A contract is formed only when we dispatch your item.

We reserve the right to cancel or refuse any order (for example, if an item is out of stock or priced incorrectly). If we cancel, you'll receive a full refund.

3. Pricing & Payment

Prices are shown in GBP (£) and include UK VAT where applicable. Shipping is calculated at checkout. Payment is processed securely by Shopify at the time of order.

4. Shipping

Delivery times are estimates and not guaranteed. Full details are on the Shipping & Delivery page. International customers are responsible for any customs duties or import taxes in their country.

5. Returns & Refunds

Please see the Returns & Refunds page. Your statutory rights under the UK Consumer Rights Act 2015 and the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 are not affected.

6. Product Descriptions

We do our best to describe products accurately and photograph them true to colour. Slight variations in colour, tone or fit may occur due to your screen settings and the handmade nature of small-batch production.

7. Intellectual Property

All artwork, designs, photography and content on hellosailor.me are the property of Hello Sailor Me and may not be copied, reproduced or resold without written permission.

8. Discount Codes

Discount codes (like SWEETHEART10) are non-transferable, cannot be exchanged for cash, and may be withdrawn or amended at any time. Only one code can be used per order unless stated otherwise.

9. Privacy

Your personal information is handled in line with our Privacy Policy.

10. Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes will be dealt with by the courts of England and Wales.

11. Changes to These Terms

We may update these terms from time to time. The version on this page is the current one — the date at the top shows when it was last updated.
