3. HOW THE CONTRACT IS FORMED BETWEEN YOU AND US

3.1 After placing an order, you will receive an e-mail from us acknowledging that we have received your order. Please note that this does not mean that your order has been accepted. Your order constitutes an offer to us to buy a Product. All orders are subject to acceptance by us, and we will confirm such acceptance to you by sending you an e-mail that confirms that the Product has been dispatched by us or the manufacturer (the “Dispatch Confirmation”). The contract between us (“Contract”) will only be formed when we send you the Dispatch Confirmation.

4.1 Please note that we do not currently accept orders as agents on behalf of third party sellers. However, if we do in the future, we will let you know before you place your order. Where we do accept orders as agents on behalf of third party sellers, the resulting legal contract is between you and that third party seller, and is subject to the terms and conditions of that third party seller, which they will advise you of directly. You should carefully review their terms and conditions applying to the transaction before placing any order with us on behalf of third party sellers.

4.2 We may also provide links on our sites to the websites of other companies, whether affiliated with us or not. We cannot give any undertaking, that any products you purchase from third party sellers through our sites, or from companies to whose website we have provided a link on our sites, will be of satisfactory quality, and any such warranties are DISCLAIMED by us absolutely. This DISCLAIMER does not affect your statutory rights against the third party seller. We will notify you when a third party is involved in a transaction, and we may disclose your customer information related to that transaction to the third party seller.

5. CONSUMER RIGHTS

5.1 If you are contracting as a consumer, you may cancel a Contract at any time within seven working days, beginning on the day after you received the Products. In this case, you will receive a full refund of the price paid for the Products in accordance with our refunds policy (set out in clause 10).

5.2 To cancel a Contract, you must inform us in writing. You must also return the Product(s) to us or the manufacturer immediately, in the same condition in which you received them, and at your own cost and risk. You have a legal obligation to take reasonable care of the Products while they are in your possession. If you fail to comply with this obligation, we may have a right of action against you for compensation.

6. AVAILABILITY AND DELIVERY

6.1 Your order will be fulfilled by the delivery date set out in the Dispatch Confirmation or, if no delivery date is specified, then we through our delivery agent or carrier or the manufacturer direct will deliver within 30 days of the date of the Dispatch Confirmation or within a reasonable time of the date of the Dispatch Confirmation (whichever period is the longer), unless there are exceptional circumstances. If we or the manufacturer reasonably deem that there are exceptional circumstances, we will contact you and inform you of the likely delay. If the manufacturer fails to inform us of any likely delay, we will not be liable for any loss you suffer as a result of the manufacturer’s delay.

6.2 You shall make all arrangements necessary to take delivery of the Products whenever they are tendered for delivery.

6.3 If you fail to take delivery of the Products or fail to give us adequate delivery instructions (otherwise than by reason of our fault) then without prejudice to any other right or remedy available to us or the manufacturer, we or they may:-

  1. store the Products until actual delivery and charge you the reasonable costs (including transportation and insurance) of storage; or
  2. sell the Products at the best price readily obtainable and (after deducting all reasonable storage and selling expenses) account to you for the excess over the price or charge you for any shortfall below the price.

6.4 We through our delivery agent or carrier or the manufacturer direct shall be entitled to deliver the Products by instalments of any size and in any order.

7. RISK AND TITLE

7.1 The Products will be at your risk from the earlier of the time that any delivery agent or carrier takes possession of the Products or the time of delivery.

7.2 Ownership of the Products will only pass to you when we receive full payment of all sums due in respect of the Products, including delivery charges.

7.3 Until such time as the ownership in the Products passes to you, we shall be entitled at any time to require you to deliver up the Products to us.

8. PRICE AND PAYMENT

8.1 The price of any Products will be as quoted on our sites from time to time, except in cases of obvious error. 

8.2 These prices include VAT and delivery costs to the mainland United Kingdom.

8.3 Prices are liable to change at any time, but changes will not affect orders in respect of which we have already sent you a Dispatch Confirmation.

8.4 Our sites contain a large number of Products and it is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the Products listed on our sites may be incorrectly priced. We will normally verify prices as part of our dispatch procedures so that, where a Product's correct price is less than our stated price, we will charge the lower amount when dispatching the Product to you. If a Product´s correct price is higher than the price stated on our sites, we will normally, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before dispatching the Product, or reject your order and notify you of such rejection.

8.5 We are under no obligation to provide the Product to you at the incorrect (lower) price, even after we have sent you a Dispatch Confirmation, if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as a mis-pricing.

8.6 Payment for all Products must be by credit or debit card.

9. OUR REFUNDS POLICY

In this case, we will refund the price of the Product in full, including the cost of sending the item to you. However, you will be responsible for the cost of returning the item to us.
  2. for any other reason (for instance, because you have notified us in accordance with clause 20 that you do not agree to any change in these terms and conditions or in any of our policies, or because you claim that the Product is defective), we or the manufacturer will examine the returned Product and will notify you of your refund via e-mail within a reasonable period of time. We will usually process the refund due to you as soon as possible and, in any case, within 30 days of the day we confirmed to you via e-mail that you were entitled to a refund for the defective Product. Products returned by you because of a defect will be refunded in full, including a refund of the delivery charges for sending the item to you and the cost incurred by you in returning the item to us.
