Payment Security
The following policy specifies how we collect and protect the payment information that you provide us with when you buy goods from us using this website (embryocreative.co.uk). By placing an order with us you consent to the collection and protection of your information under the terms of this policy. If you do not accept these terms, please do not buy goods from us.
We accept payments from the following credit/debit card and instant transfer account types.
In order to provide you with the highest level of payment security currently possible (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard Level 1) we have teamed up with Stripe, whose industry proven global payment gateway securely processes millions of unique transactions each month. The benefit of using the Stripe secure payment gateway is that we do not save your credit or debit card details on our website or offline database, meaning that should anyone gain unauthorised access to our systems they will not be able to obtain your credit or debit card details. Stripe provides the very highest levels of security to ensure that sensitive information is never compromised, and their systems are fully compliant with the requirements of the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS).
If there’s one thing that PayPal is all about, it’s protecting your financial details. When you open a PayPal account your credit/debit card and bank details are stored securely, meaning that you can then make purchases from participating websites without having to submit any sensitive financial information. PayPal provides the very highest levels of security to ensure that sensitive information is never compromised, and their systems are fully compliant with the requirements of the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS).
When you complete our online checkout process, the following payment steps will apply…
(a) When you click the ‘Continue to Payment’ button on the final checkout page your internet browser will automatically redirect you to the PayPal secure payment gateway
(b) Upon reaching the PayPal secure payment gateway you will be given the option of either (i) paying by credit or debit card without signing in, or (ii) signing in to your PayPal account and then paying using your account balance or stored credit/debit card or bank details
(c) After you submit your details, PayPal will compile the transaction information (including foreign exchange details), undertake the security checks and verify the transaction
(d) Once the transaction is complete, your browser will automatically redirect you to a receipt page on our website. Finally, an e-mail will be sent to you by us confirming to you that we have received the order and are processing it.
Any comments or questions relating to payment security should be directed to us using the e-mail address above.
5.1. The shipping charge to the delivery address You specify when placing an order will be calculated based on the weight and nature of the Goods and will be confirmed to You on-screen during the online checkout process. For Goods destined for addresses outside of the United Kingdom, payment of taxes/customs duties applied by the relevant authorities will be Your responsibility.
5.2. Orders are packed in sequence according to the time they are placed. All our clothing is made to order, we therefore aim to dispatch all items within five working days (for the avoidance of doubt, this means by the close of business on the fifth Working Day after the order is placed). If, as a result of high order volumes, We are unable to achieve this, We will notify You by e-mail. If We are unable to dispatch any Low Stock Items because We run out of stock before Your order is packed, We will notify You by e-mail and hold Your entire order in Our warehouse until fresh stock arrives and Your order can be shipped in full.
5.3. For orders requiring a signature, We will not instruct Our carriers to leave any Goods unattended, regardless of their value. If You (or Your neighbours) are not in to accept Your delivery a card will be left asking You to contact the carrier to either re-arrange delivery or collect the Goods in person.

5.5. For orders not requiring a signature delivery of the Goods will be deemed to have taken place by the close of business on the third Working Day after the date of dispatch. For orders that require a signature, delivery of the Goods will be deemed to have taken place upon the first point in time of any signature of any delivery note by You, an agent, employee or representative of You, and shall be conclusive proof of the delivery of the Goods.
5.6. You must notify Us if You have not received the Goods within fifteen Working Days of receiving Our dispatch confirmation e-mail for UK deliveries.
