Working days means that Saturdays, Sundays or public holidays are not included in this period.

If you call us to notify us of your cancellation, then your cancellation is effective from the date you telephone us.

1.22 You will receive a full refund of the price you paid for the Products and any applicable delivery charges you paid for. We will process the refund due to you as soon as possible and, in any case, within 30 calendar days of the day on which you gave us notice of cancellation as described in clause 8.4. If you returned the Products to us because they were faulty or misdescribed, please see clause 8.6.

Delivery

1.28 Your order will be fulfilled by the estimated delivery date set out in the Dispatch Confirmation, unless there is an Event Outside Our Control. If we are unable to meet the estimated delivery date because of an Event Outside Our Control, we will contact you with a revised estimated delivery date.

Price of products and delivery charges

1.32 The prices of the Products will be as quoted on Our Website from time to time. We take all reasonable care to ensure that the prices of Products are correct at the time when the relevant information was entered onto the system. However if we discover an error in the price of Product(s) you ordered, please see clause 11.5 for what happens in this event.

1.33 Prices for our Products may change from time to time, but changes will not affect any order that we have confirmed with a Dispatch Confirmation.

1.34 The price of a Product includes VAT (where applicable) at the applicable current rate chargeable in the UK for the time being. However, if the rate of VAT changes between the date of your order and the date of delivery, we will adjust the VAT you pay, unless you have already paid for the Products in full before the change in VAT takes effect.

1.35 The price of a Product does not include delivery charges. Our delivery charges are as quoted on Our Website from time to time. To check relevant delivery charges, please refer to our Delivery Charges page.

1.36 Our Website contains a large number of Products. It is always possible that, despite our reasonable efforts, some of the Products on Our Website may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices as part of our dispatch procedures so that:

1.36.1 where the Product’s correct price is less than the price stated on Our Website, we will charge the lower amount when dispatching the Products to you. However, if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as a mispricing, we do not have to provide the Products to you at the incorrect (lower) price; and

1.36.2 if the Product’s correct price is higher than the price stated on Our Website, we will contact you as soon as possible to inform you of this error and we will give you the option of continuing to purchase the Product at the correct price or cancelling your order. We will not process your order until we have your instructions. If we are unable to contact you using the contact details you provided during the order process, we will treat the order as cancelled and notify you in writing.

1.37 You can only pay for Products using a debit card or credit card. We accept all major credit and debit cards apart from American Express.

By placing an order (and thus accepting these Terms) you consent to such checks being made. In performing these checks personal information provided by you may be disclosed to a registered Credit Reference Agency which may keep a record of that information. You can rest assured that this is done only to confirm your identity, that a credit check is not performed and that your credit rating will be unaffected. All information provided by you will be treated securely and strictly in accordance with  UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

 

Other important terms

1.53 We may transfer our rights and obligations under a Contract to another organisation, but this will not affect your rights or our obligations under these Terms. We will always notify you by posting on this webpage if this happens.

1.54 You may only transfer your rights or your obligations under these Terms to another person if we agree in writing however if you are a consumer and you have purchased a Product as a gift, you may transfer the benefit of the warranty in clause 14 to the recipient of the gift without needing to ask our consent.

No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms, whether under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties Act) 1999 or otherwise however, if you are a consumer, the recipient of your gift of a Product will have the benefit of our warranty at clause 14, but we and you will not need their consent to cancel or make any changes to these Terms.

1.56 Each of the paragraphs of these Terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful or unenforceable, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.

1.57 If we fail to insist that you perform any of your obligations under these Terms, or if we do not enforce our rights against you, or if we delay in doing so, that will not mean that we have waived our rights against you and will not mean that you do not have to comply with those obligations. If we do waive a default by you, we will only do so in writing, and that will not mean that we will automatically waive any later default by you.

1.58 Please note that these Terms are governed by English law. This means a Contract for the purchase of Products through Our Website and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with it will be governed by English law.

1.59 You and we both agree to that the courts of England and Wales will have non-exclusive jurisdiction. If you are a resident of Northern Ireland you may also bring proceedings in Northern Ireland, and if you are a resident of Scotland, you may also bring proceedings in Scotland.
