    Product Descriptions
    We use our reasonable endeavors to make sure that every product on the Sites is shown accurately and that prices are correct. However, occasionally there may be small variations in color, typefaces and layout.

    Placing Your Order
    When you place an order (by choosing your product, personalizing if applicable and completing the online checkout process), we will send you an order acknowledgement by email. This will detail the products you have ordered. Please note that your completion of the online checkout process does not constitute our acceptance of your order. Our acceptance of your order only takes place when we ship it. A ‘purchase contract’ between you and FortyFour is therefore made at the point of shipment, rather than at the point of payment. If you have cancelled your order, or if we notify you that we cannot accept your order, then no purchase contract will have been made. From time to time, we may not be able to accept an order for the following reasons: (a) Where we cannot obtain authorization for your payment; (b) If you do not meet any eligibility criteria set out in these Terms of Sale; or (c) If the order for personalized products contains reference to any names, words, acronyms, symbols or other content that is not approved by The Coca-Cola Company. We reserve the right to cancel your order at any time and issue a full refund.

    Personalizing Your Items
    Select items, as advertised, may be available for personalization. Neither The Coca-Cola Company nor FortyFour has an obligation to personalize beyond the rules stated in these Terms of Sale. The Coca-Cola Company aims to provide you with a fast, high-quality service, so any products you order are immediately sent for production. Please double-check your order on screen and your acknowledgement email carefully to ensure that all the details are correct. We cannot refund items where the personalization has been misspelled due to an error made by you.
    Note that there are certain names or phrases that will not be approved for personalization due to their double meanings or cultural and religious sensitivities. The Coca-Cola Company and FortyFour must and do reserve the absolute right to decline orders for the product that in their sole judgment and discretion contain subject matter that may be considered inappropriate or offensive, including, without limitation, inappropriate, offensive words, acronyms, symbols or other objectionable content as defined above. Products also may not include: (a) product names, trademarks, copyrights, or business names (including but not limited to, restaurant names); (b) celebrity names or specific sports teams having trademark protection; (c) major events, landmarks, religious or political phrases; (d) names of schools or institutions; (e) website names/references; or (f) political content.
