Certain products sold through the Site may be produced, fulfilled, packaged, shipped, or supported by selected third-party manufacturers, suppliers, logistics providers, payment processors, or service partners. By placing an order, you acknowledge that such third parties may be involved in the fulfilment of your order where necessary.

Unless otherwise stated, these Terms govern your relationship with Scales & Ember in relation to your use of the Site and purchases made through the Site. Third-party service providers may also have their own terms, policies, or processing requirements, particularly in relation to payment processing, delivery, customs clearance, or platform services.

We may update, modify, or revise these Terms, our policies, or information displayed on the Site from time to time. Any updates will be posted on the Site, and the updated version will apply from the date it is published, unless otherwise stated or required by applicable law.

The Terms in force at the time your order is placed will generally apply to that order, unless a change is required by law, regulation, security reasons, operational necessity, or another valid reason.

We aim to ensure that all information provided on the Site is accurate, complete, and up to date. However, errors, omissions, delays, or inaccuracies may occasionally occur, including in relation to product descriptions, availability, pricing, shipping information, promotions, payment methods, or partner services.

We reserve the right to correct errors, update information, refuse or cancel orders affected by errors, and make changes to the Site where necessary, subject to applicable law and any rights available to you as a customer.

If you require clarification regarding these Terms, current policies, product information, payment methods, fulfilment partners, or order-related details, please contact us before placing an order.

Scales & Ember offers fashion, accessories, lifestyle products, and selected made-to-order or personalized items.

Product availability may vary depending on collection, production capacity, supplier availability, destination, and other operational factors.

Certain products or collections may be released in limited quantities. Where a product is subject to a specific release limit, this may be stated on the product page or in related product information.

If a product is marked as sold out, discontinued, unavailable, or no longer offered, it may still appear on the Site, in lookbooks, campaigns, archive pages, social media, or marketing materials for brand, promotional, or historical purposes.

We reserve the right to update, modify, limit, discontinue, or remove any product, collection, design, or service at any time, subject to applicable law.

When you place an order through the Site, you are making an offer to purchase the selected products in accordance with these Terms and any additional policies referenced during checkout.

After placing an order, you may receive an order confirmation email. This confirms that we have received your order request. It does not necessarily mean that your order has been accepted, produced, or shipped.

We reserve the right to accept, refuse, cancel, or limit any order where necessary, including where:

  • A product is unavailable
  • There is an error in pricing, product information, shipping information, or availability
  • Payment is not authorized or cannot be processed
  • Your shipping destination is unavailable or restricted
  • We suspect fraud, misuse, unauthorized activity, or breach of these Terms
  • The order cannot be fulfilled due to production, supplier, courier, customs, legal, or operational reasons
  • Fulfilling the order would breach applicable laws, sanctions, export controls, or regulatory requirements

If we are unable to accept or fulfil your order, we will contact you where possible and arrange any applicable refund.

Many Scales & Ember products are made to order. This means selected items may be produced after your order is placed, rather than being held as ready-made stock.

Personalized products may include custom sizing, embroidered name labels, custom artwork, custom design elements, or other specifications requested by the customer.

Made-to-order and personalized products may require additional production time before dispatch. Where applicable, production or estimated dispatch information will be shown on the product page or communicated during the order process.

Because made-to-order and personalized products are produced specifically for you, they are not eligible for refunds due to change of mind, sizing preference, buyer’s remorse, or personal preference once the cancellation window has passed, unless required by applicable law.

This does not affect any rights you may have under applicable consumer protection laws if an item is faulty, damaged, incorrect, or not as described.

Prices are displayed on the Site in the currency available at checkout.

Payment must be completed through the payment methods available on the Site at the time of purchase. Accepted payment methods may vary depending on your location, selected currency, checkout provider, payment provider, and availability.

We may use third-party payment processors, checkout partners, fraud-prevention providers, banks, or other payment-related service providers to process payments securely. These may include providers such as PayPal, Paystack, Global-e, or other payment partners, where available.

By placing an order, you acknowledge that your payment may be processed by a third-party provider and may be subject to that provider’s own terms, privacy policy, security checks, or processing requirements.

You agree to provide valid, current, and accurate payment information. If you provide payment or delivery information for another person, you confirm that you have their permission to do so.

Your bank, card issuer, or payment provider may charge additional fees, including currency conversion fees, foreign transaction fees, cross-border fees, or other charges. These charges are not controlled by Scales & Ember.

If payment is not received, reversed, declined, charged back, or otherwise not completed, we may suspend, cancel, or refuse the affected order.

We make reasonable efforts to ensure that product details, prices, images, descriptions, availability, promotions, shipping information, and checkout details are accurate.

However, errors, inaccuracies, or omissions may occur.

We reserve the right to correct any error, update information, refuse or cancel affected orders, or contact you to reconfirm an order at the correct price where necessary.

If an error in the price or product information is identified after your order has been placed, we may contact you to reconfirm the order at the corrected price or cancel the affected order. If we are unable to reach you within a reasonable time, the affected order may be cancelled.

Product images, colors, sizes, textures, finishes, and packaging are shown for illustrative purposes. Actual products may vary slightly due to screen settings, photography, production methods, fabric handling, natural material variations, or supplier differences.

Delivery will be handled in accordance with our Shipping Information page.

We offer free shipping to available destinations, subject to service availability, product eligibility, destination restrictions, and any terms stated at checkout.

Delivery timelines may vary depending on the product, production requirements, shipping destination, courier availability, customs processing, public holidays, regional disruptions, and other circumstances beyond our reasonable control.

Ready-to-ship items may dispatch sooner than made-to-order or personalized products.

A signature may be required upon delivery.

We may share necessary order, address, contact, and delivery information with couriers, logistics providers, customs brokers, fulfilment partners, and delivery notification providers to process and deliver your order.

You are responsible for ensuring that all delivery information provided at checkout is accurate and complete.

We are not responsible for delays, failed deliveries, additional charges, or losses caused by incorrect, incomplete, or outdated information provided by you.

If your order is marked as delivered by the courier, signed for where required, or delivered to the shipping address provided at checkout, responsibility for the shipment passes to you, subject to applicable law.

International shipments may be subject to customs checks, inspections, delays, duties, taxes, or local import requirements.

Free shipping does not necessarily include import duties, taxes, customs clearance fees, courier handling fees, or other charges imposed by the destination country.

If import duties, taxes, customs fees, or other local charges apply, these are the responsibility of the customer unless clearly stated otherwise at checkout.

These charges are determined by customs authorities, couriers, or relevant local authorities and are not controlled by Scales & Ember.

Failure to pay required import charges may result in delays, return of the shipment, or cancellation of delivery. Any costs related to refused, rejected, or unclaimed shipments may be deducted from any eligible refund or charged to the customer, where permitted by law.

We recommend checking with your local customs office before placing an order if you are unsure about possible import costs.

Where a checkout partner, customs broker, or delivery partner is involved, you may be required to authorize them to handle customs clearance, import processing, taxes, or related documentation on your behalf.

You may request to cancel your order within twenty-four (24) hours of placing it by contacting us at [email protected] or through our Contact Us form.

Cancellation requests are not guaranteed and may depend on whether production, personalization, fulfilment, or shipping has already started.

If you cancel your order within the approved cancellation window and before production, personalization, fulfilment, or shipping has started, we will arrange any applicable refund to the original payment method where possible.

Once the twenty-four (24) hour cancellation window has passed, or once production, personalization, fulfilment, or shipping has started, orders cannot be cancelled for a refund unless required by applicable law.

Scales & Ember does not offer refunds for change of mind, sizing preference, buyer’s remorse, or personal preference on made-to-order or personalized products once the cancellation window has passed.

Where eligible, we may offer an exchange in accordance with our Returns & Exchanges Policy.

This does not affect any rights you may have under applicable consumer protection laws if an item is faulty, damaged, incorrect, or not as described.

If you receive an item that is faulty, damaged, incorrect, or not as described, please contact us within seven (7) days of receiving your order.

Please include:

  • Your order number
  • The email address used at checkout
  • A clear description of the issue
  • Supporting photos or videos where possible

Our team will review each request individually.

If your request is approved and the issue is found to be due to a product fault, delivery damage, incorrect item, or an error on our part, we will arrange a replacement or exchange where appropriate.

For approved faulty, damaged, or incorrect items, we will arrange courier collection of the affected item and send a replacement product at no additional cost.

Items that have been worn beyond being tried on, washed, altered, stained, intentionally damaged, misused, neglected, or damaged after delivery may not be accepted for exchange.

Please refer to our Returns & Exchanges Policy for full details.
