Making A Purchase By making a purchase you confirm that you agree to these terms.

When confirmation of your order is received, this is to indicate that we have received your order. It does not indicate that a contract exists between us. We will indicate acceptance of your order, and hence a contract between us, when we send you an invoice. We have included this term to protect us in the case that a mistake has been made in pricing, we have inadvertently under-priced goods, or we are no longer able to supply a particular product for some reason. In the case of a change of price, we will always contact you first to ensure that the price is acceptable.

All items may be subject to reasonable design variation from the item pictured. Sometimes when we restock an item, there may be a slight design variation. If there is a big difference we will re-photograph the item, if the difference is small, we wont.

Returns Policy
If you are not satisfied with your product from us, you can post it back to us within 7 days of delivery and we will refund your money. Simple as that.
Please however, read this whole section.

Any goods returned must be in a new and unused condition, that means, still in the sealed bag and unopened.
You are NOT allowed to try an item on and then return it.
Body Jewellery is a personal product, with hygiene and health implications. Some serious diseases can be transmitted by sharing body jewellery, (hepatitus b is an example). For this reason we're not required by law to accept returns, but we will, if the items are still unopened in the sealed bag, and the bag has not been tampered with.

All items are shipped in sealed clear bags, so you can inspect and measure the item before opening it. Please decide whether you want the item before opening the bag. Opening the bag means you have accepted the item.

Please note though, that all returns must be confirmed with Arka-Shop by either phone or e-mail, BEFORE you post them back to us. Items for return should be sent back at the customers expense via First Class Delivery.

Please send all returns to;
Arka
PO BOX 5278
Brighton
BN50 9DR
United Kingdom


It is the customers choice whether they use recorded delivery or standard post to return items, but please bear in mind, all returns are the responsibility of the customer until they reach us. Please post in a padded envelope.
(we recommend recorded delivery for items worth more than £20) and pay the correct postage or else the items wont get to us..

All sizes are subject to reasonable variation, especially the hand carved items and the hand blown glass. Once again we're talking differences of less than a millimeter. An item will not be considered faulty unless the width is more than 0.5mm larger or smaller than that stated.
Also, please note that horn is a natural product and that some slight variance in colour from pure black is normal and not a fault. Horn also has a grain, like wood, which can be grey, white and brown, this is normal and not a fault with the item.

None of these terms affect your legal rights and these are not diminished in any way. If any term is held to be invalid under any applicable statute or rule of law, that term is automatically omitted from the terms to minimum extent necessary to comply with the law and without affecting the validity or enforceability of the remainder.
