  2. Create an account or login as an existing customer.
  3. Select delivery method and confirm your order + terms.
  4. You will be transferred to WorldPay for payment.
  5. You will receive an acknowledgement email.
  6. Order confirmation will follow after availability check.

We may update these terms at any time, so please download a copy for your records. The only language we provide these terms in is English.

The Products

Workwear clothing, Corporate clothing, Footwear, PPE, Outerwear, Hi-Visibility products, Uniforms, Hospitality wear, Sportswear, and all other products shown on our website.

Price and payment

In addition to the price of the products, you will/may have to pay a delivery charge, which will be as stated at checkout. Payment must be made upon the submission of your order. We may withhold the products and/or cancel the contract between us if the price is not received from you in full in cleared funds.

The prices on the website include all value-added taxes (where applicable). Payment for all products must be made by WorldPay, PayPal OR any method detailed on the website from time to time. Prices for products are liable to change at any time, but changes will not affect contracts that have come into force.

If you dispute any payment made to us you must contact us immediately and provide full details of your claim. If you submit an unjustified credit card, debit card or other charge-back then you will be liable to pay us, within 7 days following the date of the charge-back: (i) an amount equal to the amount of the charge-back; (ii) all third-party expenses incurred by us in relation to the charge-back (including charges made by our or your bank or payment processor or card issuer); (iii) an administration fee of GBP £20 (including VAT); and (iv) all our reasonable costs, losses and expenses incurred in recovering these amounts (including legal fees and debt collection fees).

Without prejudice to our other rights, if you submit an unjustified credit card, debit card or other charge-back, then we may terminate any contracts between you and us under these terms of sale by giving you written notice of termination.

For the avoidance of doubt, if you fail to recognise or fail to remember the source of an entry on your card statement or other financial statement, and make a charge-back as a result, this will constitute an unjustified charge-back.

Your warranties

You warrant to us that:

  1. You are legally capable of entering into binding contracts, and you have full authority, power and capacity to agree to these terms of sale;
  2. The information provided in your order is accurate and complete;
  3. You will be able to accept delivery of the products;
  4. You are resident in England or Wales; and
  5. You are at least 18 years of age.
Delivery policy

We use reasonable endeavours to despatch non-personalised orders within 24 hours within the UK mainland. However, we ask that you allow 3 - 5 Working Days for delivery during busy periods. Personalised clothing will generally be despatched within 10-24 days from order unless specifically requested otherwise. We carry a vast range of stock for all items on our website; however, there are times when we receive an influx of orders for a particular product that results in us having to replenish our stock from suppliers. In situations where this occurs, items are normally despatched within 3 to 10 Working Days and a member of our customer services team will be in touch to inform you of any delays.

Shipping

Delivery within the UK mainland can vary in some locations such as Ireland, Northern Ireland, Scottish Highlands, Channel Islands, Isle of Man, Isle of Wight, and the Scottish Islands. We will always notify of any additional carriage costs and you will be contacted by a member of our customer services team advising of the additional cost. For clarification, the Scottish Highlands are defined as postcodes: AB30-56, FK17-99, G83, IV1-28, IV30-39, IV52-54, IV63, KW1-14, PA21-33, PA34-40, PH18-26, PH30-41 AND PH49-50. The Scottish Islands are defined as postcodes: HS1-9, IV40-51, IV55-56, KA27-28, KW15-17, PA20, PA41-49, PA60-78, PH42-44 AND ZE1-3. If you are considering placing an order that requires delivery to the locations listed above OR outside the United Kingdom please contact our customer services team prior to ordering. Shipping methods can vary depending on your order and location; however, we only use reputable companies such as DPD & Royal Mail. In all instances parcels are sent securely and are tracked where possible so we know the location of every item leaving our depot to arriving at your door. You can ask for a tracking number at any time after an item has been despatched. On rare occasions parcels may take a little longer to arrive due to harsh weather and other unforeseen circumstances, we ask for your patience in these times and assure you we will endeavour to get your items to you as soon as possible.

Returns

We want to be sure you are absolutely happy with the products you buy from us. Should you purchase an item and on arrival you decide it is not suitable, you are welcome to return it to us within 10 days for a refund (less original carriage costs) or to exchange it for another product.

There are of course a few conditions; the item you are returning must meet the following criteria:

  1. The goods must not have been worn
  2. Still in New Condition (re-saleable)
  3. Complete in its original packaging
  4. Include original tags and labels
  5. Must not be a personalised garment or special order.

Please note any Covid-19 products e.g. Masks, Visors etc. will not be accepted for return due to the nature of these products. You must contact us via phone or email to obtain a returns number before returning any goods. You will be required to pay the carriage charge on exchanged items; however, we will endeavour to keep these as low as possible.

If you have purchased goods on a bulk buy rate and you return goods that then take you below the bulk buy rate, you will be charged the difference.

You will usually receive your refund or replacement within 7 days of us receiving the item back in our store.

Faulty Goods

Goods that are found to have a manufacturing fault on receipt by the customer or develop a fault through reasonable “WEAR AND TEAR” within a 6-week period from invoice date will be exchanged free of charge subject to inspection by Merlin Workwear. After this time, faulty goods will be sent back to the manufacturer for inspection.

Damaged Goods

Any goods damaged in transit should be signed for as “DAMAGED”. Goods should then be checked immediately and in the event of any shortage, loss or damage, the company and carriers must be notified at once by telephone, and subsequently such notification must be confirmed in writing within 48 hours.

Risk and ownership

The products will be at your risk from the time of delivery. Ownership of the products will only pass to you upon the later of:

  1. Delivery of the products; and
  2. Receipt by us of full payment of all sums due in respect of the products (including delivery charges).

We will be entitled to recover payment for the products even where ownership has not passed to you.

“Cooling off” period

Under the Distance Selling Regulations, you may cancel a distance contract to purchase a product or products from us at any time within 7 working days after the day you received the relevant product or products (subject to the limitations set out below).
In order to cancel a contract in this way, you must give to us written notice of cancellation. You will not have any such right insofar as a contract relates to:

  1. The supply of any products which constitute audio or video recordings or computer software which have been unsealed by you;
  2. The supply of products the price of which is dependent upon fluctuations in financial markets which we cannot control;.
  3. The supply of newspapers, periodicals or magazines;
  4. The supply of goods made to your specifications or clearly personalised; or
  5. The supply of goods which by reason of their nature cannot be returned or are liable to deteriorate or expire rapidly.

If you cancel a contract on this basis, you must promptly return the products to us, in the same condition in which you received them.

If you cancel a contract on this basis, you will be refunded in full (including the cost of sending the products to you). However, you will be responsible for paying the cost of returning the product to us.

If you cancel a contract on this basis and you do not return the products to us, we may recover the products and charge you for the costs we incur in doing so. Similarly, if you return the products at our expense, we may pass that expense on to you.

Statutory rights

Nothing in these terms of sale affects your statutory rights (including your right to receive arefund in respect of any defective product we sell to you)

Refunds

If you cancel a contract and are entitled to a refund, we will usually refund any money received from you using the same method originally used by you to pay for your purchase. We will process the refund due to you as soon as possible and, in any event, within 30 days of the day we received your valid notice of cancellation.

Limitations and exclusions of liability

Nothing in the terms of sale will:

  1. Limit or exclude the liability of a party for death or personal injury resulting from negligence;
  2. Limit or exclude the liability of a party for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation by that party;

  4. Limit any liability of a party in any way that is not permitted under applicable law; or
  5. Exclude any liability of a party that may not be excluded under applicable law.

  2. Govern all liabilities arising under the terms of sale or in relation to the subject matter of the terms of sale, including liabilities arising in contract, in tort (including negligence) and for breach of statutory duty.

We will treat all your personal information that we collect in connection with your order in accordance with the terms of our privacy policy; use of our website will be subject to our website terms of use.

Contracts under these terms of sale may only be varied by an instrument in writing signed by both you and us. We may revise these terms of sale from time-to-time, but such revisions will not affect the terms of any contracts which we have entered into with you.

If any provision of these terms of sale is held invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect, and such invalid or unenforceable provisions or portion thereof will be deemed omitted.

No waiver of any provision of these terms of sale, whether by conduct or otherwise, in any one or more instances, will be deemed to be, or be construed as, a further or continuing waiver of that provision or any other provision of these terms of sale.

We may assign, charge, subcontract or otherwise transfer any of our rights or obligations arising under these terms of sale, at any time – providing such action does not serve to reduce the guarantees benefiting you under these terms of sale.

Each contract under these terms of sale is made for the benefit of the parties to it and is not intended to benefit, or be enforceable by, any other person. The right of the parties to terminate, rescind, or agree any amendment, variation, waiver or settlement under such contracts is not subject to the consent of any person who is not a party to the relevant contract.
