Terms of Service

Beviks Ltd • Effective date: September 2026 • Last updated: September 2026

How this document is organised

Part A applies to everyone who uses the Beviks Platform. Part B applies to Customers who order garments. Part C applies to Designers who sell on the Platform.

Please read Part A and then the Part that applies to you. If you both order and sell, all three Parts apply to you.

GENERAL PLATFORM TERMS

PART A: TERMS FOR ALL USERS

1. About us and how to contact us

You can contact us by email at the addresses above. If we need to contact you, we will use the email address or phone number on your account.

2. These terms

By creating an account, browsing, or otherwise using the Beviks website, mobile applications, or services (together, the "Platform"), you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Platform.

Our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy form part of these terms.

These terms are available in English only, and the contract between us will be concluded in English.

We do not file a copy of your individual contract in a way you can retrieve. We will email you a confirmation of each order, and your order history is available in your account. We recommend you keep your own copy.

3. Eligibility and your account

You must be 18 or over to create an account.

You must give accurate registration information and keep it up to date. You are responsible for keeping your password confidential and for everything done through your account. Tell us immediately at support@beviks.co.uk if you think someone else has accessed it.

You may not create an account on behalf of someone else without their authority, transfer your account to anyone else, or hold more than one account without our written agreement.

4. What Beviks does, and what it does not do

Beviks operates a marketplace. We connect Customers with independent Designers who make traditional and cultural clothing to order.

  • What we do: We provide the Platform, host listings, facilitate quotes and messaging, arrange for payment to be taken and held by our payment provider, transmit order details and measurements to your chosen Designer, track order progress, and provide support.
  • What we do not do: We do not make, source, or ship garments. We are not a party to the contract between you and a Designer. Designers are independent businesses. They are not our employees, agents, partners, or representatives, and we do not control how they run their businesses.
  • Verification: We carry out checks on Designers before they can sell, including identity and business registration checks. These checks reduce risk. They are not a guarantee of quality, skill, or performance, and we do not warrant that any Designer will perform their contract with you.
  • Money: Beviks does not hold, receive, or control your money. Section 5 explains how payments work.

5. Payments: how money moves

This section applies to Part B and Part C equally, and is important.

Payments on the Platform are processed by Stripe, using Stripe Connect. When you pay for an order:

  1. Your payment is made to Stripe, not to Beviks. Funds are received into and held in an account operated and controlled by Stripe.
  2. Beviks never takes possession or control of the funds, never holds them in its own accounts, and has no title to them.
  3. Beviks instructs Stripe when the conditions for a release have been met. Stripe carries out the release.
  4. Stripe deducts its processing fees, pays our commission to us, and pays the balance to the Designer.

Where we describe funds as being "held", "in escrow", or "protected", we mean held by Stripe under the arrangement above. Beviks is not a bank, is not an authorised payment institution, and does not provide payment services or e-money services.

Your use of the payment service is also subject to the Stripe Connected Account Agreement and the Stripe terms applicable to you. You agree to those terms when you transact on the Platform.

Refunds and payouts are made to the original payment method or the registered payout account. Timing depends on Stripe and on your bank, and is outside our control.

6. Acceptable use

You must not:

  • Use the Platform for anything unlawful, fraudulent, or harmful.
  • Impersonate anyone, or misrepresent your identity, business, or affiliation.
  • Post content that is unlawful, defamatory, obscene, harassing, discriminatory, or that infringes anyone's intellectual property or privacy.
  • Upload viruses, malicious code, or anything designed to damage or interfere with the Platform.
  • Scrape, harvest, crawl, or extract data from the Platform by automated means without our written permission.
  • Attempt to gain unauthorised access to the Platform, its servers, or other users' accounts.
  • Interfere with, disrupt, or place an unreasonable load on the Platform.
  • Take a transaction that started on the Platform off the Platform in order to avoid our fees or commission.
  • Use the Platform to send unsolicited marketing.
  • Reverse engineer, decompile, or copy any part of the Platform except where the law says you may.
  • Use the Platform to develop a competing product or service.

We may remove content and suspend or close accounts that breach this section. See section 9.

7. Content you upload

You keep ownership of the content you upload, including images, text, measurements, and messages.

Licence to us: You grant Beviks a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty free licence to host, store, reproduce, adapt for formatting purposes, and display your content, for the purpose of operating and promoting the Platform. For Customer content, this licence is limited to operating the Platform and does not extend to promotional use without your separate permission. For Designer portfolio content, the licence includes promotional use, as set out in section 26.

The licence ends when you delete the content or close your account, except for copies we must keep for legal or backup reasons and for material already used in published marketing.

Your warranty: You confirm that you own the content you upload or have the right to upload it, and that it does not infringe anyone else's rights. This matters particularly for inspiration images. Many images found online are protected by copyright. Do not upload an image unless you have the right to do so.

Reporting: If you believe content on the Platform infringes your rights or breaches these terms, email legal@beviks.co.uk with details and we will investigate. We may remove content while we do.

8. The Platform itself

We try to keep the Platform available, but we do not promise it will be uninterrupted or error free. We may suspend, withdraw, or restrict all or part of it for business or operational reasons, and we will give reasonable notice where we can.

We may change the Platform, including adding, altering, or removing features. We will not make a change that materially reduces the service you have already paid for without giving you notice and, if you are a Designer on a paid subscription, the right to cancel under section 23.

You are responsible for your own internet access, devices, and any charges from your provider.

9. Suspension and termination

You may close your account at any time through your account settings or by emailing support@beviks.co.uk. You must first complete or resolve any open orders.

We may suspend or close your account where:

  • You have materially breached these terms;
  • We reasonably suspect fraud, illegality, or misuse;
  • We are required to do so by law, a regulator, or our payment provider; or
  • Your account has been inactive for more than 24 months.

Where we can, we will give you notice and a chance to put things right before we act. Where the issue is serious, urgent, or involves suspected fraud, we may act immediately and tell you afterwards.

Effect on live orders: If your account is suspended or closed while an order is in progress, we will act reasonably to protect the other party. Depending on the circumstances, we may allow the order to complete, arrange a refund of undelivered stages, or transfer the matter to our disputes process. Section 27 sets out what happens to a Designer's live orders specifically.

Survival: Sections 5, 7, 10, 11, 12, 14, and 28 survive termination, along with any other provision that by its nature should.

10. Our liability to you

Nothing in these terms limits or excludes our liability for:

  • Death or personal injury caused by our negligence;
  • Fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation;
  • Breach of the terms implied by section 12 of the Sale of Goods Act 1979 or sections 2, 9 to 11, 49, or 57 of the Consumer Rights Act 2015; or
  • Any other liability that cannot be limited or excluded by law.

If you are a consumer: We are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breaking these terms or failing to use reasonable care and skill. We are not responsible for loss or damage that is not foreseeable.

We are not responsible for the acts or omissions of a Designer, because the contract for your garment is between you and the Designer. We will help you pursue a Designer through our disputes process in section 20, and where the Designer is at fault the escrow arrangement is designed to return your money.

We do not exclude or limit your rights against a Designer, or your statutory rights as a consumer, which are summarised in section 19.

Subject to the paragraphs above, our total liability to a consumer in connection with any single order will not exceed the greater of the total amount you paid for that order and the platform fees retained.

If you are a business, including a Designer: We exclude all implied conditions, warranties, and representations to the fullest extent permitted by law. We are not liable for loss of profit, loss of business, loss of goodwill, loss of anticipated savings, business interruption, or any indirect or consequential loss. Subject to the first paragraph of this section, our total liability to you in any 12 month period will not exceed the greater of the total fees and commission you paid us in that period.

11. Events outside our control

We are not liable for failure or delay in performing our obligations caused by an event outside our reasonable control, including strikes, failure of utilities or telecommunications, acts of government, epidemic, war, civil unrest, fire, flood, extreme weather, customs delays, or carrier failure.

If such an event occurs we will contact you and either extend the time for performance or, if the delay is substantial, allow the affected order to be cancelled with a refund of amounts not yet earned.

12. Complaints and disputes with us

If you have a complaint about Beviks, email support@beviks.co.uk with the details. We will acknowledge within 3 business days and give a substantive response within 15 business days. If we need longer we will tell you why and when to expect a reply.

If you are not satisfied with our final response, you may take the matter further as set out in section 14. Using our complaints process does not affect your legal rights or any time limit for bringing a claim.

13. Changes to these terms

We may change these terms.

Minor changes: Such as corrections and clarifications that do not affect your rights, take effect when we publish them.

Material changes: Take effect 30 days after we notify you by email or through the Platform. If you do not accept a material change, you may close your account before it takes effect. For Designers on a paid subscription, section 23 sets out your cancellation and refund rights when we change these terms.

Changes do not apply retrospectively to orders already placed. The version in force when you placed an order governs that order.

14. Governing law and jurisdiction

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales.

If you are a consumer: You may bring proceedings in the courts of England and Wales, or in the courts of the country where you live. If you live in Scotland or Northern Ireland, the law and courts of that country may apply instead. Nothing in this section removes any protection given to you by the mandatory law of the country where you live.

If you are a business, including a Designer: The courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction. You and Beviks may agree in writing to refer a dispute to arbitration instead, but neither of us is obliged to.

15. General

  • Assignment: You may not transfer your rights or obligations under these terms without our written consent. We may transfer ours to another business, and we will tell you if we do. If you are a consumer and the transfer would reduce the rights you have, you may end the agreement and receive a refund of amounts paid for services not yet provided.
  • Severability: If any provision is found to be unlawful or unenforceable, the rest remain in force.
  • No waiver: If we delay in enforcing a term, that does not prevent us enforcing it later.
  • Third party rights: A person who is not a party to these terms has no right under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to enforce any of them. This does not affect any right or remedy that exists independently of that Act.
  • Entire agreement: These terms, together with the Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy, and for Designers the subscription details shown at sign up, are the whole agreement between us on their subject matter. This does not limit liability for fraudulent misrepresentation.
  • Notices: Formal notices to us go to legal@beviks.co.uk and to our registered office. Notices to you go to the email address on your account.
CUSTOMER TERMS

PART B: TERMS FOR CUSTOMERS

16. How an order is made

  1. You describe what you want and request a quote, or you respond to a Designer's listing.
  2. The Designer sends an itemised quote setting out fabric and sourcing, embellishment, labour, the total price, any stage payments, and an estimated delivery window.
  3. You review the quote. You can ask questions, request changes, or decline. A quote is an invitation to proceed and is not binding on either of us until step 5.
  4. You confirm your measurements and any final specifications.
  5. You accept the quote and make payment: A contract for the garment is formed at this point, between you and the Designer. A separate contract for platform services is formed between you and Beviks.
  6. We send you an order confirmation by email and the order appears in your account.

Correcting errors: Before you accept a quote, you can review and change your order details, measurements, and delivery address on the confirmation screen. Use the back navigation to correct anything that is wrong. After acceptance, contact the Designer through in-app chat immediately, and we will help where we can, but changes may not be possible once work has begun.

If we cannot accept: Occasionally an order cannot proceed, for example because the Designer is unable to source the fabric, has made a pricing error, or fails our checks. If that happens we will tell you and arrange a full refund.

17. Price and payment

The price is the amount shown in the accepted quote, inclusive of VAT where applicable.

Stage payments: Custom orders are usually paid in stages. Funds are held by Stripe as described in section 5 and released to the Designer as each stage is verified:

If you do not confirm acceptance and do not raise a dispute within 14 days of delivery, the final stage is released automatically.

Delivery costs, duties, and taxes: Delivery costs are shown before you accept a quote. For international orders, import duties, customs charges, and local taxes may be payable on arrival. These are your responsibility and are not included in the price unless the quote says otherwise. Charges vary by country and we cannot predict them. If you refuse a delivery because of unexpected charges, you may be responsible for return costs and the garment may not be refundable.

Currency: Prices are shown in GBP (£) or your local supported billing currency. If your card is in another currency, your bank's conversion rate and any fees apply.

18. Your measurements

You are responsible for the accuracy of the measurements you provide. We give guidance in the app on how to measure. If you are unsure, we strongly recommend having your measurements taken professionally.

A garment made correctly to inaccurate measurements is not a fault in the garment, and the Designer is not obliged to remake it free of charge.

If the garment does not match the measurements supplied, the Designer must correct it at no charge to you, by alteration, adjustment, or remaking. If correction is not possible or not done within a reasonable time, you are entitled to a refund. This is in addition to your statutory rights in section 19.

Where a Designer requests additional measurements or clarification, please respond promptly. Delay in responding may extend the delivery window.

19. Your rights if something is wrong

The Consumer Rights Act 2015 gives you rights against the Designer as the seller of the garment. The garment must be:

  • Of satisfactory quality;
  • Fit for its purpose; and
  • As described, and matching any sample or model shown to you.

If it is not, you have the right to have it repaired or replaced, and if that is not possible or not done within a reasonable time, to a price reduction or a refund.

Nothing in these terms reduces those rights. Where you have a claim of this kind, raise it through our disputes process in section 20 and we will hold or return escrowed funds accordingly.

20. Cancellation, changes, and refunds

20.1 Your right to cancel the platform service

You have 14 days from creating your account to cancel your contract with Beviks for platform services and receive a refund of any platform fees you have paid. This does not cancel an order you have already placed with a Designer.

20.2 Custom garments and the 14-day cancellation right

Please read this carefully before you order:

Under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013, consumers would normally have 14 days to change their mind about goods bought online. That right does not apply to garments made to your measurements or personalised to your specification. Because each garment on Beviks is made to order for you, you will not have a 14-day statutory right to cancel once the Designer has begun work. By accepting a quote and confirming at checkout, you acknowledge this.

This does not affect your statutory rights if the garment is faulty, not as described, or does not match your measurements. See sections 18 and 19.

20.3 Cancelling before work begins

You may cancel and receive a full refund at any time before the Designer confirms that fabric sourcing or cutting has begun.

Once sourcing has begun, you may cancel but the Designer is entitled to keep an amount reflecting the fabric and work already committed. We will ask the Designer to evidence this and will hold the balance for refund.

20.4 If the Designer fails to perform

You are entitled to a full refund of all amounts not yet earned where the Designer:

  • Fails to deliver;
  • Delivers something materially different from the accepted quote;
  • Fails to ship within the agreed window, and has not agreed a written extension with you; or
  • Becomes unable to complete the order.

20.5 How refund decisions are made

Where you and the Designer do not agree, our disputes process applies:

  1. Raise the issue in the order through the "Report a problem" option, within 14 days of delivery or of the missed deadline.
  2. We notify the Designer, who has 5 business days to respond.
  3. We review the quote, the messages, the evidence, and any photographs, and reach a decision within 10 business days of the Designer's response or the expiry of that period.
  4. We tell you both the decision and the reasons for it.
  5. If you disagree, you may ask for review by a senior member of our team within 10 business days, and we will respond within a further 10 business days.

Approved refunds are issued to your original payment method within 5 business days of the decision, subject to processing times at Stripe and your bank.

Our decision resolves how escrowed funds are released. It does not decide your legal rights and does not prevent you pursuing the Designer, or us, through the courts or any other route available to you.

21. Delivery

Delivery timescales in a quote are estimates unless we or the Designer state that a date is guaranteed.

Risk in the garment passes to you when it is delivered to you or to a person you have nominated. Ownership passes on delivery, once payment has been made in full.

If nobody is available to take delivery, the courier will leave a note with instructions. If the garment is returned to the Designer as undelivered after reasonable attempts, you may be responsible for redelivery costs.

Tell us and the Designer promptly if a garment does not arrive within a reasonable time of the estimated window so we can investigate with the courier.

DESIGNER & ATELIER TERMS

PART C: TERMS FOR DESIGNERS

These terms apply to you if you register to sell on the Platform. You are contracting as a business, and the consumer protections in Part B do not apply to you.

22. Becoming a Designer

Eligibility: You must be a business, or an individual trading as a business, lawfully able to make and sell clothing in your country. You must be 18 or over.

Verification: Before you can sell, you must complete our verification, which may include:

  • Identity documents;
  • Business registration or equivalent;
  • Portfolio samples; and
  • Stripe onboarding, including its own identity and bank verification.

We may decline an application, or require further information, at our discretion. We may repeat verification at any time and suspend selling privileges until it is complete.

Accuracy: You must keep your business, tax, and payout details accurate and current, and tell us promptly if they change.

23. Subscription

Selling tools and atelier services are provided on a subscription basis:

Renewal: Your subscription renews automatically each month and is charged to your registered payment method. We will send you a reminder before each renewal, and before any renewal at a changed price or at the end of a trial or introductory rate.

Cancelling: You can cancel at any time from your account settings, without contacting us and without giving a reason. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period, and you keep access until then. We do not refund part months unless the law requires it or we have materially breached these terms.

Cooling off: If you subscribe as an individual and you are entitled to cancellation rights under consumer law, you may cancel within 14 days of subscribing. If you have asked us to start the service immediately, we may charge for the part of the period already used.

Price changes: We will give at least 30 days' notice of a price increase. You may cancel before it takes effect. If you continue after that date, the new price applies.

Non-payment: If a subscription payment fails, we will notify you and retry. If it remains unpaid after 14 days, we may suspend your selling privileges. Live orders are handled under section 27.

24. Commission and payouts

Commission: We charge platform commission on the total value of each completed garment order, excluding delivery costs and taxes. Commission is deducted at the point Stripe releases funds to you.

Stripe fees: Stripe's processing fees are deducted separately and are not part of our commission. Current Stripe rates are shown during onboarding.

Payouts: Funds are released to your Stripe connected account as each order stage completes, as set out in section 17. Stripe then pays out to your bank account on its own schedule. Payout timing is determined by Stripe and your bank, not by Beviks.

Changes to commission: We will give at least 30 days' notice of a change to commission rates. The rate in force when an order is accepted applies to that order.

Deductions: We may deduct from amounts otherwise payable to you any refund, chargeback, or adjustment properly due to a Customer under section 20, along with any fees you owe us. Where funds are insufficient, you must pay us the shortfall within 14 days of our invoice.

Taxes: You are responsible for your own taxes, including income tax, corporation tax, VAT, sales tax, and import or export duties applicable to you. We are required to report certain seller information to HMRC under the digital platform reporting rules, and you agree to provide the information we need to do so.

25. Your obligations as a Designer

You must:

  • Provide accurate, honest listings and quotes, including realistic delivery estimates;
  • Make each garment to the measurements and specifications attached to the accepted quote;
  • Source materials as described in the quote;
  • Ship within the agreed window, or agree a written extension with the Customer in advance through the Platform;
  • Provide tracking information on shipment;
  • Respond to Customer messages within 2 business days;
  • Correct, at your own cost, any garment that does not match the accepted specification or the measurements supplied;
  • Comply with the consumer law that applies to your sales, including the Consumer Rights Act 2015 where you sell to UK consumers;
  • Comply with product safety, labelling, and textile composition rules applicable in the destination country;
  • Comply with export requirements in your country and provide accurate customs documentation;
  • Keep the Customer's data confidential, use it only to fulfil the order, keep it secure, and comply with applicable data protection law. See section 29;
  • Keep all communication and transactions relating to Platform orders on the Platform.

You must not:

  • Solicit Customers to transact off the Platform, or attempt to avoid commission;
  • Contact a Customer for any purpose unrelated to their order, or add them to a marketing list;
  • List garments you cannot make, or use portfolio images of work that is not yours;
  • Subcontract an order without telling the Customer, and you remain responsible for the work either way;
  • Make false claims about materials, origin, handwork, or your credentials.

26. Listings and your content

You keep all intellectual property in your original designs, patterns, and portfolio media.

By listing on the Platform, you grant Beviks a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty free licence to display, reproduce, and adapt for formatting your listing and portfolio content, in order to operate the Platform and to promote the Platform and your listings on our website, in our applications, in email, on social media, and in advertising.

This licence continues for 12 months after you remove content or leave the Platform, to allow for material already in circulation. You may ask us to stop using a specific item in new marketing at any time, and we will.

You confirm that you own or are licensed to use everything you upload, and that it does not infringe anyone's rights. You will indemnify us against claims arising from your content, subject to section 28.

27. Suspension, removal, and live orders

We may suspend or remove your ability to sell where:

  • You breach these terms;
  • Verification fails or lapses;
  • We reasonably suspect fraud or misrepresentation;
  • Your fulfilment record falls materially below Platform standards, including repeated late shipment, repeated cancellation, or repeated upheld disputes;
  • Your subscription is unpaid, as set out in section 23; or
  • We are required to act by law, a regulator, or Stripe.

Notice: Except where the matter is serious or urgent, we will tell you the reason, give you at least 7 days to respond or put it right, and consider what you tell us before acting. Where we act immediately, we will give the reason as soon as we can and you may ask us to review the decision.

Live orders: If you are suspended or removed with orders in progress, we will:

  1. Tell affected Customers;
  2. Where you can still complete an order and the Customer agrees, allow you to complete it and release funds for it;
  3. Where you cannot complete, or the Customer does not wish to continue, arrange a refund of unreleased funds and, where appropriate, help the Customer find another Designer;
  4. Release to you any amount properly earned for completed stages, less any deductions due under section 24.

Leaving: You may leave at any time under section 23. You must complete or make arrangements for all live orders before your access ends.

28. Designer liability and indemnity

You are responsible for the garments you make and sell, and for your compliance with the law.

You will indemnify Beviks against losses, claims, damages, and reasonable costs arising from:

  • Your breach of these terms;
  • Your infringement of a third party's intellectual property or other rights;
  • A claim by a Customer relating to a garment you made, other than where the claim arises from our own breach or negligence;
  • Your breach of data protection law in relation to Customer data; or
  • Any regulatory penalty imposed on us because of your acts or omissions.

We will tell you promptly of any claim we intend to pass on, will not settle it without consulting you, and will allow you to participate in the defence. This indemnity does not extend to loss caused by our own breach, negligence, or wilful misconduct.

Our liability to you is limited as set out in section 10.

Insurance: We recommend you hold appropriate business insurance, including product liability cover.

29. Data protection

When we transmit Customer data to you, including names, addresses, and measurement profiles, you become an independent controller of that data.

You must:

  • Use it only to fulfil the order;
  • Keep it secure, with measures appropriate to its sensitivity;
  • Not share it with anyone other than a subcontractor or courier who needs it for the order, under equivalent obligations;
  • Not use it for marketing or any other purpose;
  • Delete or return it when it is no longer needed for the order or for your own legal record keeping;
  • Deal promptly with any request we pass on from a Customer wishing to exercise their data protection rights, and tell us how you have responded;
  • Tell us within 24 hours of becoming aware of any breach affecting Customer data; and
  • Comply with the data protection law that applies to you, including the UK GDPR where applicable and, for Nigerian Designers, the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023.

Where you are outside the United Kingdom, you agree to the UK International Data Transfer Agreement that we will provide to you, and to complete and return it before you receive Customer data.

Breach of this section is a material breach and may result in immediate removal.
