About Us We want you to be happy. If you have any suggestions or comments please email us at andy@the-watershed.co.uk The Watershed is run by Dean Maragh and Andy Thackeray, you'll see piccies of us throughout the site.

As we are an internet based company we would prefer all communications to come via email and we could not entertain visits. However, if you want to know more about us, please, please do not hesitate to contact us by email.

We are based in England and are governed by English law.

Making A Purchase Making a purchase is as simple as it seems. Just browse our Catalogue, and click on any items that you wish to buy and put them into the shopping trolley. After you have finished your selection, click on "Checkout" and you will be asked for a few details that we need to be able to receive your payment and despatch the goods.

If you decide you want to put something back on the shelf you can cancel right upto the last screen and edit your order in 'Wot's in the trolley' We use secure 256-bit encryption.

[Credit and Debit Cards]

We accept Switch/Solo, Visa/Delta, MasterCard/Eurocard.

If you are shopping from outside the UK, place your order, and your credit card company will convert the transaction to your own currency.

Backordered items are not charged until they are shipped. If you do not wish to use the secure 256-bit encypted on-line ordering facility email us us for alternative arrangements.

Shipping And Handling Postage and packing charges are related to the product. For most products it is £3.00 in the UK subject to a maximum of £6.00. For fragile gifts such as soapstone it starts at £6.00 and increases by £2.00 per additional purchase. Overseas orders are £5.00 per item. We are constantly reviewing our p&p prices.

For single items worldwide we use Royal mail and we can ship to an address other than the billing address. For larger orders we use City Link in the UK and Parcelforce worldwide.

If you don't receive your purchases within 7days plus the availability time, you must tell us so we can replace it for you and track down the missing parcel.

Delivery Schedule The availability is stated next to each item. UK orders are sent by next day services and international orders are generally received in under 10 days.
Back Orders If for some reason we cannot deliver within the specified availability we will email you with a new availability and ask if you want to cancel or continue with the order. No money will be taken from your account until we are ready to dispatch.
Tax Charges Prices shown are without sales tax/VAT. Because it is normal in the UK to see prices inclusive of VAT we have shown this in the text. Prices used for calculations are exclusive of taxes.

All orders dispatched to European countries pay 17.5% tax and will be added on when you checkout.

All orders dispatched to non-EU countries are tax exempt and you will pay the local import duty and sales tax when it arrives in your country. This is sometimes collected by your local postal service.

The US treasury explains simply the procedure for the US, and we believe most countries have similar systems.

When you checkout, the first screen shows the UK VAT at 17.5% added, don't worry if you are outside the EC as the next screen (where you fill in your name) allows you to exempt yourself from VAT.

We will add back the VAT if you exempt the order and delivery is within the EU.

For EU traders who are VAT registered, we require a fax of your VAT certificate before you can exempt the order.

Credit Card Security Security is perhaps the most important issue for shopping on the Internet. That's why we've done everything possible to ensure that using your credit card with The Watershed is safe.

The Watershed uses Golden padlock SSL. to encrypt all the personal information you send us so that it cannot be read by anyone else on the Internet. This is the best available security at present (January 2000). Barclays Merchant Services who process the credit cards recommend a minimum of 40 (forty) bit encryption. Your details are over 6 times safer than Barlcays recommend.

You can always phone us with your credit card details. If you want to phone us with your details, simply email us with your order and we will phone you back. You can email us with your details if you wish.

For an approximate cost in other currencies use currency converter.
