What if something in these T & Cs isn’t supported by law?

What if the products I receive aren't what I was expecting or arrive late?
We work hard to make sure that the description and specification of our products are correct and accurate as possible. However, specifications and descriptions of products on this Website or given orally or in writing by Samantha Johnson Design are not intended to be binding and are intended only to give a general description of the products. While the colour reproduction, material description and dimensions of the products are a close representation, we cannot accept any responsibility for any variation in size or material nor colour caused by the browser software, monitor colour contrasts or computer system used by you – that said we do have a great refund policy and as long as you return your goods to us in line with our Returns Policy [which is incorporated within these Conditions] you will receive your money back. In particular, colours are represented differently on computer monitors and tablet, phone and laptop screens and this is unfortunately unavoidable and a limitation of existing technology.
Whist we will make every effort to deliver within the time stated on our Website or as stated orally by Samantha Johnson Design before you place your order, we will not be liable for any loss caused to you by late delivery. Please contact us at sj@samanthajohnsondesign.com as soon as possible if you do not receive your goods within the expected time. We will endeavour to get your goods to you as soon as possible or you may cancel your order. You will be refunded once the goods have been returned to us in line with our Returns Policy [which forms part of these Conditions] or classified as lost by the Courier company.
We will attempt to deliver your order to the delivery address stated on your order form. If products are returned to us as undeliverable either because of an incorrect address or because of customer failure to contact the courier company or collect the goods from the depot where requested, we will refund the price of the products less delivery costs incurred by us in sending out the goods plus any additional costs charged to us by the courier company for returning the goods to us.
