Terms and Conditions
Terms and Conditions
The agreement between us and you consists of the Order Form and these Terms and Conditions (collectively the agreement).
Last updated 21st January 2026
1.1 What these terms cover. These are the Terms and Conditions that govern your purchase of KILLWINGCo products. They apply to the exclusion of any other terms (including any discussed with you via email, telephone, at our workshop in Suffolk or in person, or which you seek to impose or incorporate, or which are implied by trade, custom, practice or course of dealing). These terms shall govern and be incorporated into every provision of products by us to you.
1.2 Why you should read them. Please read these terms carefully before you submit an order to us. These terms tell you who we are, how we will provide products to you, how you and we may change or end the contract, what to do if there is a problem and other important information. If you have any questions about these terms, please contact us to discuss.
2.1 Who we are. We are KILLWINGco a company based in England.
2.2 How to contact us. You can contact us by messaging our customer service team by writing to us at killwingco@gmail.com.
2.3 How we may contact you. If we have to contact you we will do so by telephone or by writing to you at the email address or postal address you provided to us in your order.
2.4 "Writing" includes emails. When we use the words "writing" or "written" in these Terms and Conditions, this includes emails.
3.1 How we will accept your order.
Bespoke Products
3.1.1 Bespoke Products are those products which are created and produced to your specifications in any way. To place an order for Bespoke Products you will need to email us at (killwingco@gmail.com) attaching or setting out your requested specifications (for example a specific length, shape or finish from our existing product range or for signage with specific font and wording requests). We will confirm acceptance of such choice to you in person by either countersigning an order form or sending to you an email confirming the specifications, measurements or designs and confirming acceptance of the order. At that point a contract will come into existence on the terms of this agreement and to the exclusion of any prior correspondence or meeting between us to discuss the bespoke products.
If we are confirming your order by email it may be an iterative process and only when you receive an email accepting your order will a contract come into existence.
Collection
3.1.2 Products in the Collection are our standard products which can either be viewed on our website at https://killwingco.bigcartel.com or which may have been shown to you at an event or other in person meeting. Our acceptance of your order will take place and a contract will come into existence for the purchase of a product from our Collection on our sending to you an email confirming our acceptance of your order, or if you are ordering in person at an event, when payment is taken at the till.
3.2 If we cannot accept your order. If we are unable to accept or fulfil your order, we will inform you of this in writing or via telephone and will not charge you for the product. This might be because of unexpected limits on our resources which we could not reasonably plan for, unavailability of stock or raw materials, because the specification, design, measurements you have provided infringes a third party intellectual property right, because the design is not achievable and you do not make or agree to our making any reasonable modifications suggested by us, because we have identified an error in the price or description of the product or because we are unable to meet a delivery deadline you have specified.
3.3 Lead Times. Almost all of our products are made to order and information about availability and lead times are available on our website.
4.1 All our products are crafted by hand (and with CNC equipment where applicable) at our workshop in Suffolk. The timber we use is sourced from sustainably managed woodlands, or is recycled and reused timber. As all of our products are handmade, there will be slight variations from product-to-product.
4.2 Collection products may vary slightly from their pictures. The images of the products in our Collection on our website or in other materials are for illustrative purposes only. We will use reasonable efforts to depict accurately the products in our Collection but they are by their nature unique and are handmade so sizes, weights, colours, materials, capacities, dimensions and measurements indicated on our website or other materials may vary to the product that you receive.
4.3 Bespoke Products.
4.3.1 Make sure your measurements are accurate. If we are making a Bespoke Product to measurements, sketches and/or designs you have given to us and/or using materials or swatches identified by you then it is your responsibility to ensure that these are correct. You can find information and tips on how to measure by contacting us.
4.3.2 If you wish to have Bespoke Products provided to you, then you accept that we have no liability for errors or defaults in Bespoke Products which are caused by the provision to us of erroneous specifications.
4.3.3 The design of all of our products is unique to us. If you supply to us any sketches, designs or drawings or other contribution to Bespoke Products (Contribution), you grant to us an exclusive, perpetual, irremovable royalty-free licence to any intellectual property rights that may subsist in the Contribution. As the Contribution will be incorporated into one of our products we need to know that any Contribution is original and will not infringe the rights of any third party. To protect us from any losses, damages, costs and expenses that we may suffer or incur you agree to indemnify us if any Contribution infringes the intellectual property rights or other proprietary rights of any person. Please don't copy or steal other people's designs when providing us with your "requirement" as we will be unable to lawfully make it and you will bear the responsibility for any consequences suffered by us.
4.3.4 We will make any Bespoke Products to your specifications and really hope our Bespoke Products meet your expectations. However, we shall not be liable to you in respect of any actual or alleged defect in or dissatisfaction with any Bespoke Product that arises directly or indirectly from your choice of any specification, design, material, fabric or any other requirement.
Once we have accepted your order for a Bespoke Product you will no longer be able to make any changes to it. However, if you have made a mistake in your order for a Bespoke Product, and provided we have not commenced production of the product, we will try our best to accommodate any reasonable changes at our sole discretion.
Note that commencement of the production also includes for time spent preparing to manufacture, source materials, and create designs. If it is possible to do so we will let you know about any changes to the price of the Bespoke Product, the timing of supply or anything else which would be necessary as a result of your requested change and ask you to confirm whether you wish to go ahead with the change. If we cannot make the change (for example if production has already commenced) or the consequences of making the change are unacceptable to you, you may want to end the contract (see Clause 8- Your rights to end the contract).
Minor changes to the products. We may change any product to implement minor technical adjustments or as a result of unavailability of raw materials. We will try to minimise the impact of these changes. These changes will not affect your use of the product. These unavoidable changes do not give to you any right to cancel any contract or reject any product.
7.1 Delivery costs. Our standard delivery charges apply to the majority of products delivered to consumers within the UK mainland. See our delivery terms for full details. For large orders, bespoke items and orders delivered outside the UK we will provide you with a fixed shipping cost. This does not include import charges, customs clearance or duty. You are responsible for these charges and your products may be held in customs until full payment has been received.
From 1 January 2021, when the Brexit transition period ends, these charges may also apply to orders despatched to EU delivery addresses. If you purchased your product from an event, or online via email we will provide you with a fixed shipping quote when you are placing the order. Until all delivery costs are paid we cannot dispatch the products.
7.2 Please check before purchase that an item can be delivered into the space you wish. This includes checking hallways and door frames throughout the property. If an item cannot be delivered it will be returned to our warehouse and a delivery return fee of up to £500 (depending on the size and delicate nature of the product in question) will be charged.
7.3 When we will provide the products.
Products from our Collection
7.3.1 Individual products - The majority of our products are sent using 24 hour signed for delivery, (once completed in the workshop)
As soon as the order is dispatched from our workshop the contact person and number you have supplied will be contacted by our delivery provider via email or SMS. Our delivery provider will send you a tracking number. If you are unable to take delivery on the day it is your responsibility to liaise with the delivery provider to re-arrange delivery. We cannot be held liable for the non-delivery of products if our delivery provider attempts to deliver the products and you are not available (please see "if you do not re-arrange delivery section" for more information).
7.3.2 Large and multiple orders. If your product is a Large or, a multiple order, or if your order is particularly delicate it may be delivered to you on a pallet. Before the order is dispatched a member of our customer service team will contact you either via email or telephone (to the email address or contact number provided) to confirm the date of delivery. If requested, we will contact you on the day of delivery to give you an estimated time slot. If you are not in on the day of delivery and our delivery team are unable to deliver your order we may charge you the costs of the failed delivery and the cost of re-delivery. If you order products from our Collection which show different lead times we may be able to dispatch part of the order for an additional charge.
7.4 If you do not re-arrange delivery. If after a failed delivery to you, you do not re-arrange delivery or collect the products from a delivery depot we will contact you for further instructions and may charge you for storage costs and any further delivery costs. If, despite our reasonable efforts, we are unable to contact you or re-arrange delivery or collection we may end the contract and Clause 10.2 will apply.
Bespoke Products
7.5 For Bespoke Products we will notify you of the estimated delivery date when we start making or customising the product in our workshop. The estimated completion date for the product will be notified to you during the order process. Given the bespoke nature of the products, you have agreed that any such date shall be an estimate and time shall not be of the essence to this agreement. If you need a Bespoke Product by a particular date then you must notify us and we and you must agree it as a specific exception.
7.6 We are not responsible for delays outside our control. If our supply of any products is delayed by an event outside of our control then we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and we will take steps to minimise the effect of the delay. Provided we do this we will not be liable for delays caused by the event, but if there is a risk of substantial delay you may contact us to end the contract and, except for Bespoke Products for which production has commenced, receive a refund for any products in the Collection you have paid for but not received. As Bespoke Products are made to your order we cannot agree to issue any refund but may be able to give to you a (partial) refund if we can resell the item within a reasonable period and to the extent we are able to recover the sale price.
7.7 When you become responsible for the goods. A product will be your responsibility from the time we deliver the product to the address you gave us or you collect it from the delivery provider's depot or our showroom.
7.8 When you own goods. You own a product once we have received payment in full.
7.9 Reasons we may suspend the supply of products to you. We may have to suspend the supply of a product to:
7.9.1 deal with technical problems or make minor technical changes;
7.9.2 update the product to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements;
7.9.3 make changes to the product as requested by you or notified by us to you (see Clauses 5 and 6).
7.10 We may also suspend supply of the products if you do not pay. If you do not pay us for the products when you are supposed to (see Clause 12.4) and you still do not make payment within 5 days of us reminding you that payment is due, we may suspend supply of the products until you have paid us the outstanding amounts. We will contact you to tell you we are suspending supply of the products. As well as suspending the products we can also charge you interest on your overdue payments (see Clause 12.5).
8.1 You can always end your contract with us. Your rights when you end the contract will depend on what you have bought, whether there is anything wrong with it, how we are performing and when you decide to end the contract:
8.1.1 If what you have bought is faulty or mis-described you may have a legal right to end the contract (or to get the product repaired or replaced), see Clause 11;
8.1.2 If you want to end the contract because of something we have done or have told you we are going to do, see Clause 8.2;

For most products bought online or from a distance (such as via email or over the telephone) and delivered to a UK address, you have a legal right to change your mind within 14 days of delivery and receive a refund. This does not apply to Bespoke Products – see clause 8.4 below. Where you exercise this right, we will not cover the cost of return postage from a UK address. We will also not refund the original outbound delivery charge you paid, up to the cost of the cheapest delivery option offered at checkout.

We will not refund the product price and the outbound delivery cost (up to the cost of the cheapest delivery option offered at checkout). You must arrange and pay for the return of the goods, which must be received back in resalable condition before a refund is issued. You may ask us to arrange for the return of the goods, in this case the cost of the return postage will be deducted from your refund. We may deduct a reasonable amount if the goods have been handled beyond what is necessary to establish their nature, characteristics, or functioning.
8.3.2 Orders delivered outside the UK and EU/EEA.
For orders delivered to addresses outside the UK and EU/EEA, statutory cancellation rights do not apply. We may, at our discretion, allow returns within 14 days of delivery, subject to the goods being returned at your cost in resalable condition. Outbound shipping costs, duties, taxes, and any courier handling charges incurred on the outbound or return shipment will not be refunded. If delivery is refused or the goods are returned to us due to unpaid duties or taxes, we will refund only the product value (excluding shipping and associated charges) once the goods are received confirmed to be back in resalable condition. We also reserve the right to deduct any return freight, courier handling, or associated charges from the refund.
The rights set out in this Section 8.3 above apply only to consumers purchasing for personal use. If you are purchasing on behalf of a business, our separate Trade or Retailer Terms and Conditions apply and you will not have the statutory rights described here.
8.4 When you don't have the right to change your mind. You do not have a right to change your mind in respect of any Bespoke Product.

The price of the product (which includes VAT) will be the price indicated on the website or communicated to you via email or orally when you placed your order and will be in Pounds Sterling. It is a condition of this agreement that you shall pay for the products at the time of placing your order.
12.2 Please note that KILLWINGCo is not currently registered for VAT (Value Added Tax) in the UK. All prices displayed for products and services on https://killwingco.bigcartel.com are the total prices payable. As we are not VAT registered, these prices do not include an additional amount for VAT, nor can we provide a VAT breakdown.

We will monitor our turnover in line with current HMRC regulations. Should our business reach the mandatory VAT registration threshold, we will register and update our pricing structure and terms and conditions accordingly.
12.3 What happens if we got the price wrong. It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the products we sell may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices before accepting your order so that, where the product's correct price at your order date is less than our stated price at your order date, we will charge the lower amount. If the product's correct price at your order date is higher than the price stated to you, we will contact you for your instructions before we accept your order.
12.4 For any Products ordered via our website and the price advertised is obviously incorrect (for example due to a technical error or a nominal price is advertised) we reserve the right to reject your order.
12.5 When you must pay and how you must pay. We accept payment via bank transfer and accept most major credit cards and debit cards or online via our payment partner Stripe Payments.
12.6 We can charge interest if you pay late. If you do not make any payment to us by the due date we may charge interest to you on the overdue amount at the rate of 6% a year above the base lending rate of Barclay's Bank from time to time.

13.2 If you have ordered a Bespoke Product, we cannot guarantee that we are able to repair or replace any elements of the product but shall use reasonable endeavours to propose alternative solutions.
13.3 Any repairs that are not as a result of something where we are at fault shall be paid by you in advance of us undertaking any work. If you fail to make such payment, we are not obliged to start any repair work on the product.
14.1 We are responsible to you for foreseeable loss and damage caused by us. If we fail to comply with these terms, we are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breaking this contract or our failing to use reasonable care and skill, but we are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable. Loss or damage is foreseeable if either it is obvious that it will happen or if, at the time the contract was made, both we and you knew it might happen, for example, if you discussed it with us during the sales process.
14.2 We do not exclude or limit in any way our liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so. This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors; for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; for breach of your legal rights in relation to the products; and for defective products under the Consumer Protection Act 1987.
14.3 We are not liable for business losses. If you use the products for any commercial, business or re-sale purpose we will have no liability to you for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity.
15.1 We may transfer this agreement to someone else. We may transfer our rights and obligations under these terms to another organisation. We will contact you to let you know if we plan to do this. If you are unhappy with the transfer you may contact us to end the contract within 5 days of us telling you about it and we will refund you any payments you have made in advance for products not provided.
15.2 Nobody else has any rights under this contract. This contract is between you and us. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms. Neither of us will need to get the agreement of any other person in order to end the contract or make any changes to these terms.
15.3 If a court finds part of this contract illegal, the rest will continue in force. Each of the paragraphs of these terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.
15.4 Even if we delay in enforcing this contract, we can still enforce it later. If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking this contract, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date. For example, if you miss a payment and we do not chase you but we continue to provide the products, we can still require you to make the payment at a later date.
15.5 Which laws apply to this contract and where you may bring legal proceedings. These terms are governed by English law and you and we can bring legal proceedings in respect of the products or any contract between us or non-contractual claims only in the English courts.
