By paying for and continuing with your order you are agreeing to comply with and be bound by the following terms and conditions of use.
The term “The Memory Bear Company” or “us” or “we” refers to the owner of the website whose registered office is International House, 12 Constance Street, London, E16 2DQ. The term “you” refers to the user or viewer of our website.
1. General Data Protection Regulations
1.1 The Memory Bear Company considers that the organisation could not process client orders without holding the following information:
1.1.1 The name, address, delivery address (if different) and email address of each client or recipient of the client’s gift.
1.1.2 Information transferred via PayPal is subject to PayPal’s GDPR policies.

1.8 If photographs are sent by the client to The Memory Bear Company of their orders with family members, The Memory Bear Company will specifically ask for permission before saving and/or sharing these photographs.
1.9 Photographs may be held in our archive, unless requested otherwise
2.0 If your contact details have changed and you no longer wish for The Memory Bear Company to hold these details, please contact clare@thememorybearco.co.uk and your details will either be updated or deleted as requested.
2. Payment
2.1 Full payment or a deposit must be made when the order is placed. Your order will not be placed on the waiting list until this is received.
2.2 The description and price of the goods you order will be as shown in the order and shall remain valid for 30 days from receipt by you.
2.3 If an error made in any part of the order is found I will inform you as soon as possible and offer you the option of reconfirming your order at the correct price or cancelling your order.
2.4 Please check your invoice before payment and inform me of any changes required before you pay. Payment of an invoice will indicate acceptance of each item therein.
2.5 Payment plans are more than welcome and will be discussed and agreed individually.
3. Production
3.1 All my items are completely handmade and will therefore have their own unique characteristics and flaws. With this in mind, please inspect your items as soon as possible and inform me within 7 days if there are any problems.
3.2 All My Patch creations include fabrics provided by the client, and I am therefore not able to offer CE certification on these products. They are sold as keepsakes only and are not intended for daily use or for use as toys by anyone under the age of 14.
3.3 Unless requested otherwise, all scraps of fabrics sent by clients are donated to charity to be sold to a fabric recycling company. If you would like your scrap fabrics to be returned with your finished order please inform me of this before your scheduled week for production. This may incur a postage surcharge. All unused items will be returned intact with your finished order, unless instructed otherwise.
3.4 Full care instructions and tips will be included on a Care Leaflet on your dispatch confirmation e-mail.
3.5 I reserve the right to take photographs of any items I make and use said photographs without limitation and at any point during and after production of the order, including before the order is posted.
4. Shipping
4.1 The waiting list will be discussed and confirmed in your order confirmation, and I reserve the right to extend this, especially during busier periods such as around Christmas, Mother's Day and Father's Day. You will be kept informed of any delays during production. You will find regular updates to the waiting list on my Facebook page, www.facebook.com/neverlandcreations.
4.2 Orders will be scheduled for delivery in the same shipment, unless arranged otherwise. If you have more than one item and/or you require delivery in more than one shipment, additional postage charges may apply.
4.3 All finished items will be sent using a tracked and insured service, usually either Royal Mail's Next Day Special Delivery or ParcelForce's express48 for larger parcels. For orders outside of Europe an additional charge of the difference between standard and international postage may be made to the client. A signature will be required upon delivery. Priority postage is available at an additional charge which will be discussed at the time of placing your order.
4.4 I will always contact you should an item or its components be unavailable. In this instance you will always be given the option of placing the item on back order, choosing an alternative or I will refund your transaction.
4.5 The Memory Bear Company cannot dispatch orders to PO Boxes. I request that all of my clients have registered addresses. Neverland Creations reserves the right to decline any orders that do not meet my credit card billing criteria.
4.6 Please ensure that you inform me of the correct postal address - this includes checking that your Paypal account shows the correct details and informing me if not. Unless informed otherwise, we will ship to the address on your order. If you move house or are planning to move house, please keep me updated as any returned items will incur additional postage charges to post back out to the correct address.
4.7 All items are handmade to order and in accordance with the waiting list. If you need the items by a certain date, please check that I can fulfil the order in time before ordering.
4.8 If your delivery is late or does not arrive in the delivery timescale please contact me at clare@thememorybearco.co.uk. In the event of a non-delivery I can only allow a replacement/refund after 20 working days has passed. This is the timescale for the Royal Mail to classify a parcel as lost.
5. Cancelling your order
5.1 You may normally cancel your order (once accepted by me) for any reason before production starts. If you do cancel the order within this time any payments made by you will be refunded within 30 days. An administration fee of £5 will be deducted from the amount of the order. Once production has started or your order has been dispatched, please follow the guidelines for Returns/Refunds below.
5.2 I reserve the right to cancel any order at any time for any reason, and refunds will be made as above.
6. Returns and refunds
6.1 I always hope you will be truly delighted with your purchases from Neverland Creations. I cannot accept returns on bespoke/made to order/special/personalised orders. An exception to this would be damaged items, or if I have not supplied the item ordered - please ake sure you have ordered correctly before contacting me.
6.2 Please be aware that each item is individually made by hand. Any replacement that you are sent may not be exactly the same as the original product (obviously excluding any defects).
6.3 I cannot be held responsible for customers not following instructions correctly when providing notes on personalisation. You must ensure that you check this fully before ordering as it will be copied directly from your instructions.
6.4 I cannot be held responsible for care instructions not being followed. Care instructions are included in the e-mail confirming dispatch, and can be requested at any time before or after you receive your order. Please be aware that My Patch items cannot be CE tested and MUST be treated as keepsakes only. They are not toys and should not be played with or handled excessively under any circumstances.
6.5 If your order becomes faulty within 30 days of delivery, please e-mail clare@memorybearcompany.co.uk immediately to arrange to return the item to be inspected and made good. Your return postage charges will be refunded within 7 days of the item arriving with me. All repairs and refunds are made at my discretion.
6.6 Your statutory rights remain intact at all times.
6.7 In the unlikely event of a return please e-mail clare@neverlandcreations.co.uk or telephone 07359 076751 and I will give you return address details. Once I have approved your return request you will be asked to return the item by insured delivery. I am not responsible for any items lost/damaged back in transit to me. I suggest you use a tracked and recorded service. In the event of a faulty item needing to be returned your shipping costs will be paid.
6.8 Any payments made by you will be refunded within 30 days. An administration fee of £5 will be deducted from the amount of the order.
