Terms & Conditions
Effective Date: April 2025 | Last Updated: April 2025
Welcome to Blendko. By accessing our website or making a purchase, you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions. Please read them carefully before using our services. These Terms govern the relationship between Blendko ("we", "our", "us") and you ("you", "the customer") in connection with all services, products, and platforms we offer.
1. About Blendko
Blendko is a fashion brand and online platform that blends Western simplicity with African sophistication to create bold, timeless, and culturally rich fashion. We are incorporated in the United Kingdom and operate online. For all enquiries: info@blendko.com · www.blendko.com
2. Acceptance of Terms
By using any part of our services you confirm that:
- You are at least 16 years of age
- You have the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement
- You agree to comply with these Terms and all applicable laws
We reserve the right to update these Terms at any time. Continued use of our services following an update constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
3. Account Registration
When registering an account, you agree to:
- Provide accurate, current, and complete information
- Keep your login credentials confidential and secure
- Notify us immediately of any unauthorised use of your account
- Accept responsibility for all activity under your account
Blendko reserves the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or engage in fraudulent, harmful, or disruptive behaviour.
4. Products & Orders
We endeavour to present all products accurately, including descriptions, imagery, and pricing, but do not warrant that all content is entirely free from error. When you place an order, you are making an offer to purchase goods subject to these Terms; an order is only confirmed when you receive an email order confirmation from us. We reserve the right to decline or cancel any order at our discretion, including in cases of suspected fraud, pricing errors, or stock unavailability.
5. Pricing & Payment
All prices are displayed in GBP (£) and are inclusive of applicable VAT unless stated otherwise. Prices are subject to change without notice, but changes will not affect orders already confirmed. We accept payment via major credit/debit cards and the methods displayed at checkout. All payments are processed securely through our third-party payment providers — Blendko does not store full card details. In the event of a pricing error, we reserve the right to cancel the order and issue a full refund.
6. Shipping & Delivery
Delivery timeframes are estimates and not guaranteed. Blendko is not responsible for delays caused by third-party logistics providers, customs processes, or circumstances outside our control. Risk of loss or damage passes to you upon delivery. For international orders, you are responsible for any import duties, taxes, or customs fees applicable in your country. See our Shipping & Delivery policy for full details.
7. Intellectual Property
All content on our website and platform — including logos, brand name, designs, images, copy, and collections — is the exclusive intellectual property of Blendko or its licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, and design laws. You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, publicly display, or use any of our intellectual property without our prior written consent.
8. Returns, Exchanges & Refunds
Standard (non-customised) items may be returned within 14 days of delivery for a full refund or exchange, provided they are unworn, unwashed, in original condition with all tags attached, returned in suitable packaging, and accompanied by proof of purchase. Custom and personalised orders are non-refundable except in cases of a manufacturing fault, material difference from the agreed design, or damage in delivery. See our Returns & Refunds policy for full details.
9. Sustainability & Ethical Practices
By purchasing from us, you support a brand that:
- Sources materials ethically from suppliers who uphold fair trade and environmental standards
- Partners with skilled artisan communities across Africa, ensuring fair wages and safe working conditions
- Employs sustainable packaging and shipping practices
- Designs for longevity — not fast fashion
We do not tolerate exploitation of workers or the environment at any stage of our supply chain.
10. User Conduct
When using our website or platform, you agree not to:
- Use our services for any unlawful, fraudulent, or harmful purpose
- Upload or submit content that is offensive, defamatory, or infringes third-party rights
- Attempt to gain unauthorised access to our systems or data
- Engage in any activity that disrupts or damages the performance of our platform
11. Cultural Sensitivity & Brand Values
Blendko exists to close the gap in diversity by creating a space where Western style and African heritage come together authentically. We celebrate cultural pride, not cultural appropriation. Uses of our platform that misrepresent, mock, or trivialise African or any other cultural heritage are strictly prohibited and may result in order cancellation and account suspension.
12. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Blendko shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential loss arising from your use of our services; loss of profits, revenue, data, or goodwill; or losses resulting from events outside our reasonable control (force majeure). Our total liability for any claim shall not exceed the amount you paid for the specific order giving rise to the claim. Nothing in these Terms limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, fraud, or any matter that cannot be excluded by law.
13. Governing Law & Disputes
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales. We encourage you to contact us first at info@blendko.com to resolve any dispute informally before pursuing legal action.
14. Third-Party Links & Services
Our website may contain links to third-party websites or integrate third-party services (such as payment processors or social media platforms). Blendko is not responsible for the content, privacy practices, or terms of those third parties.
15. Severability & Entire Agreement
If any provision of these Terms is found invalid or unenforceable, it shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary and the remaining provisions continue in full force. These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any other policies referenced herein, constitute the entire agreement between you and Blendko with respect to your use of our services.
