Despatch Lead Times:
We aim to despatch all orders 3-5 days following receipt of order (weekends and public holidays excluded).

For very small orders (up to 8 items) we try to ship within 48 hours.
If you have a specific deadline for delivery please contact us to check whether we can meet your deadline.
Christmas Orders:
From October to Christmas despatch and transit times can each be up to 10 days more than stated above.
To get your Christmas stock in good time you are strongly advised to order before the end of October.

Out of stock items will be cancelled by Dalaco. A refund will be credited to your card account before your order is despatched.
Tax Charges
VAT (currently 20%) is added to the product price and any shipping charge for all orders from any EU country.
If you are eligible to buy without paying VAT you can select tax exemption when placing your order by clicking a tick box and providing your VAT Registration number.
Channel Island customers:
You may select Guernsey or Jersey (regardless of which island you are on) as the shipping destination Country/Nation. This will ensure you are not charged VAT.
Credit Card Security
All payment card numbers are encrypted using industry standard encryption when the order is placed. They are only decrypted after they reach WorldPay’s secure server environment. They are not held in clear readable format on any web site and are not seen by Dalaco.
Product Guarantee
Our products are covered by a two year guarantee against faulty manufacture.
In the unlikely event you have cause to return any of our products for replacement please refer to our Returns Policy below.

Last modified: 1st May 2023.
Inspirational by Design Ltd T/A Dalaco (“We” or “us”) are committed to protecting and respecting your personal data and privacy. This policy sets out the basis on which any personal data we collect from you, or that you provide to us, will be processed by us. Please read the following carefully to understand our views and practices regarding your personal data and how we treat it.
For the purpose of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (“the Act”) we are registered as a Data Controller with the Information Commissioner’s Office (Registration Reference No A8273178) and a description of how we use personal information is included in our entry on the data protection register which is maintained by the Information Commissioner’s Office.

Performance of a Contract – we need your personal data to enable us to perform a contract and deliver our products and services
Legal compliance – If the law requires us to, we may need to collect and process your data – e.g. we can pass on details of people involved in fraud or other criminal activity or details to HMRC
Legitimate interest – in specific situations, we require your data to pursue our legitimate interest in a way which might reasonably be expected as part of running our business and which does not materially impact your rights, freedom or interests’ e.g. to carry out our marketing activities and seeking your consent when we need to contact you.
Why do we collect information about you?
We need to collect and hold information about you, for a variety of reasons including:
- the delivery of our products and services

We may not be able to provide you with a product or service unless we have enough information, or your permission to use that information.
How we use your information
We will use the information you provide in a manner that conforms to the GDPR Act. We will endeavour to keep your information accurate, up to date and not keep it for longer than is necessary. In some instances the law sets the length of time information has to be kept.
We will process your information for the following purposes:
- to carry out our obligations arising from any contracts entered into between you and us and to provide you with information, products and services that you request from us or which we feel may interest you (where you have consented to be contacted for such purposes or by Legitimate Interest)

We will not disclose your personal information that you provide to us, to anyone else without your permission, except in the few situations where disclosure is required by law, or where we have good reason to believe that failing to share the information would put someone else at risk. You will be told about this.
We will not keep your information longer than it is needed taking into account the following:
- Whether we have any legal obligations to continue to process your information (imposed by relevant law or regulations)

- How difficult it is to ensure that the information can be kept up to date and accurate – and –
- Any relevant surrounding circumstances (such a the nature and status of our relationship with you)
Ways in which we collect and use information
Information Sharing
We will keep your information within the organisation except where disclosure is required or permitted by law or when we use third party service providers to supply and support our services to you. We use trusted third parties including IT companies who support our websites, Exact who provide our accounting software, HM Revenue & Customs, accountants, couriers, fraud management, secure document disposal service, and to administer our mailing list for e-newsletters with an organisation called Mail Chimp. If you have purchased from us and used a credit or debit card with us, we will share transaction details with companies which help us to provide this service (such as Visa and MasterCard).
If we use products or services which process personal information, we will only use GDPR compliant companies to help deliver our services, we will only provide information they need to perform their specific service and we will work closely with them to ensure your privacy is respected at all times. These providers are obliged to keep your details securely, and use them only to fulfil your request. If we do transfer any information outside the European Economic Area (EEA) we will ensure the following safeguards:
- Transfer to a non-EEA country with privacy laws that give the same protection as the EEA.
- Put in place a contract with the recipient that means they must protect the data to the same standards as in the EEA
- Transfer to organisations that are part of Privacy Shield. This is a framework that sets privacy standards for data sent between the US and EU countries. It makes sure those standards are similar to what is used in the EU. You can find out more about data protection on the European Commission Justice website.
We may disclose information to other partners where it is necessary, either to comply with a legal obligation, or where permitted under GDPR.
Telephone Calls
We will inform you if we record or monitor any telephone calls you make to us and obtain your consent to do so. This will be used, to increase your security, for our record keeping of the transaction and for our staff training purposes.
Emails
Please remember that transmission of information over the internet is not secure and if you submit any information to us over the internet (such as emails, or via our website(s) or by any other means you do so at your own risk. If you email us we may keep a record of your contact and your email address and the email for our record keeping of the transaction. For security reasons we will not include any confidential information about you in any email we send to you. We would also suggest that you keep the amount of confidential information you send to us via email to a minimum and use our secure online services or post.

If you apply to work for us (directly or indirectly) in any role (including volunteers) we may receive data about you from third parties. In addition, we will keep the details of your application and any additional information provided to us by you or others during your application so that we can keep you informed of future opportunities that you may be interested in.
