Focusing on the edges of emotion - teetering between memories, minuscule moments and half-made up stories - Elida focuses her work on the mundanity of love. Mixing her observations of living in-between cultures with her brazen love for the textures of life, she composes vignettes using the alphabet. Images brim like an overfilled glass, begging you to take a sip.

Elida is a Mexican-American writer, poet and language artist living in London, UK. Her self-published books HOME IN LIMBO and NOTHINGS (coming soon) explore cinematic poetry centered around those closest to her as an exploration of the effects love and longing have on identity. She is currently a staff writer at Sunstroke Magazine and works full-time within the publishing industry.

If you have any queries about these terms and conditions or if you have any comments or complaints on or about our website, you can contact us at  hello@socialconvention.org.

We must receive payment of the whole of the price for the goods/services that you order before your order can be accepted. Payment of the price for the goods/services represents an offer on your part to purchase the goods/services, which will be accepted by us only when the goods/services are dispatched. Only at this point is a legally binding contract created between us.

To enable us to process your order, you will need to provide us with your e-mail address. We will notify you by e-mail as soon as possible to confirm receipt of your order and to confirm details. For the avoidance of doubt, this correspondence does not constitute a contract between us. 

All rights, including copyright, in this website are owned by or licensed to SCL CVN LTD. Any use  of this website or its contents, including copying or storing it or them in whole or part, other than for your own personal, non-commercial use, is prohibited without our permission. You may not modify, distribute or repost anything on this website for any purpose.

We have taken care in the preparation of the content of this website, in particular to ensure that prices quoted are correct at the time of publishing and that all goods/services have been described accurately. However, orders will only be processed if there are no material errors in the description of the goods/services or their prices as advertised on this website. Any weights, dimensions and capacities given about the goods are approximate only. 

We try to ensure that this website is free from viruses or defects. However, we cannot guarantee that your use of this website or any websites accessible through it will not cause damage to your computer. It is your responsibility to ensure that the right equipment is available to use the website. Except in the case of negligence on our part, we will not be liable to any person for any loss or damage which may arise to computer equipment as a result of using this website.

All orders are subject to acceptance and availability. If the goods/services you have ordered are not available, we will contact you by e-mail or phone (if you have given us details). You will have the option either to wait until the item is available or to cancel your order. 

You are able to correct errors on your order up to the point on which you click on “submit” during the ordering process.

The prices payable for goods that you order are as set out on our website. All prices are inclusive of VAT at the current rates and are correct at the time of entering information. 

Where it is not possible to accept your order to buy goods/services of the specification and description at the price indicated, we will advise you by email, and offer to sell you the goods/services of the specification and description at the price stated in the email and will state in the email the period for which the offer or the price remains valid.

We will take payment upon receipt of your order from your credit or debit card. We accept no liability if a delivery/services is delayed because you did not give us the correct payment details. If it is not possible to obtain full payment for the goods/services from you, then we can refuse to process your order and/or suspend any further deliveries/services to you. This does not affect any other rights we may have.

Delivery charges vary according to the type of goods/services ordered.

11.1	Our delivery charges are set out on the event or product page in our website.

11.2	We will deliver the goods to the address you specify for delivery in your order. It is important that this address is accurate.

We cannot accept any liability for any loss or damage to the goods once they have been delivered in accordance with your delivery instructions (unless this is caused by our negligence). We will aim to deliver the goods by the date quoted for delivery but delivery times are not guaranteed and therefore time is not of the essence. In any event, we will aim to deliver your goods within 30 days from the day after the day we received your order. If delivery is delayed beyond this time, we will contact you and either agree a mutually acceptable alternative date, or offer you a full refund.

11.3	You will become the owner of the physical goods you have ordered when they have been delivered to you. Once these goods have been delivered to you they will be held at your own risk and we will not be liable for their loss or destruction.

12.1.1	We have insufficient stock to deliver the goods/services you have ordered;

12.1.2	We do not deliver to your area; or

12.1.3	One or more of the goods/services you ordered was listed at an incorrect price due to a typographical error or an error in the pricing information received by us from our suppliers.

We will pay the cost of postage or collection.

14.1	Unless agreed otherwise, if you do not receive goods/services ordered by you within 30 days of the date on which you ordered them and decide to cancel the order rather than re-arrange delivery (in accordance with clause 11), we will provide you with a full refund. 

14.2	We are only responsible for losses that are a natural, foreseeable consequence of our breach of these terms and conditions. We do not accept liability if we are prevented or delayed from complying with our obligations set out in these terms and conditions by anything you (or anyone acting with your express or implied authority) does or fails to do, or is due to events which are beyond our reasonable control.

14.3	Furthermore, we do not accept liability for any losses related to any business of yours including but not limited to: lost data, lost profits, lost revenues or business interruption.
