The images of the products on our website are for illustrative purposes only and there may be small discrepancies in the size, colour and condition of the Products.

You must, where reasonably practicable, examine the Products before accepting them. You agree that we may have to deliver the products in instalments, for instance if we suffer a shortage of stock or other genuine reason. 

7.3  We are not responsible for delays outside our control. If our supply of the products is delayed by an event outside our control then we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and we will take steps to minimise the effect of the delay. Provided we do this we will not be liable for delays caused by the event, but if there is a risk of substantial delay you may contact us to end the contract and receive a refund for any products you have paid for but not received.

7.4  If you are not at home when the product is delivered.

If you do not collect the products from us as arranged or if, after a failed delivery to you, you do not re-arrange delivery or collect them from a delivery depot we will contact you for further instructions and may charge you for storage costs and any further delivery costs. If, despite our reasonable efforts, we are unable to contact you or re-arrange delivery or collection we may end the contract and Clause 10.2 will apply.

If so, this will have been stated in the description of the products on our website. We will contact you to ask for this information. If you do not give us this information within a reasonable time of us asking for it, or if you give us incomplete or incorrect information, we may either end the contract (and Clause 10.2 will apply) or make an additional charge of a reasonable sum to compensate us for any extra work that is required as a result. We will not be responsible for supplying the products late or not supplying any part of them if this is caused by you not giving us the information we need within a reasonable time of us asking for it.

7.9  Reasons we may suspend the supply of products to you. We may have to suspend the supply of a product to:

(a)  deal with technical problems or make minor technical changes;

(b)  update the product to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements;

(c)  make changes to the product as requested by you or notified by us to you (see Clause 6).

(d)  investigate triggered fraud filters or procedures. 

7.10  Your rights if we suspend the supply of products. We will contact you in advance to tell you we will be suspending supply of the products, unless the problem is urgent or an emergency. If we have to suspend the product we will adjust the price so that you do not pay for products while they are suspended. You may contact us to end the contract for a product if we suspend it, or tell you we are going to suspend it, in each case for a period of more than 30 days and we will refund any sums you have paid in advance for the product in respect of the period after you end the contract.

7.11  We may also suspend supply of the products if you do not pay. If you do not pay us for the products when you are supposed to (see Clause 14.4) and you still do not make payment within 7 days of us reminding you that payment is due, we may suspend supply of the products until you have paid us the outstanding amounts. We will contact you to tell you we are suspending supply of the products. We will not suspend the products where you dispute the unpaid invoice (see Clause 14.6). We will not charge you for the products during the period for which they are suspended. As well as suspending the products we can also charge you interest on your overdue payments (see Clause 14.5).

8.  YOUR RIGHTS TO END THE CONTRACT

8.1  You can always end your contract with us. Your rights when you end the contract will depend on what you have bought, whether there is anything wrong with it, how we are performing and when you decide to end the contract:

(a)  If what you have bought is faulty or misdescribed you may have a legal right to end the contract (or to get the product repaired or replaced or to get some or all of your money back), see Clause 11;

(b)  If you want to end the contract because of something we have done or have told you we are going to do, see Clause 8.3;

(c)  If you are a consumer and have just changed your mind about the product, see Clause 8.4. You may be able to get a refund if you are within the cooling-off period, but this may be subject to deductions and you will have to pay the costs of return of any goods;

(d)  In all other cases (if we are not at fault and you are not a consumer exercising your right to change your mind), see Clause 8.7.

8.2 Products forming part of a commercial unit. If any products form a commercial unit (a unit is a commercial unit if division of the unit would materially impair the value of the product or the character of the unit) you cannot cancel or reject the order for one or more products without also cancelling or rejecting the order for the remaining products. 

8.3 Ending the contract because of something we have done or are going to do. If you are ending a contract for a reason set out at (a) to (e) below the contract will end immediately and we will refund you in full for any products which have not been provided and you may also be entitled to compensation. The reasons are:

(a)  we have told you about an upcoming change to the product or these terms which you do not agree to (see Clause 6.2);

(b)  we have told you about an error in the price or description of the product you have ordered and you do not wish to proceed;

(c)  there is a risk that supply of the products may be significantly delayed because of events outside our control;

(d)  we have suspended supply of the products for technical reasons, or notify you we are going to suspend them for technical reasons, in each case for a period of more than 30 days; or

(e)  you have a legal right to end the contract because of something we have done wrong.

8.4  Exercising your right to change your mind if you are a consumer (Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013). If you are a consumer then for most products bought online you have a legal right to change your mind within 14 days and receive a refund. These rights, under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, are explained in more detail in these terms.

8.5  When consumers don’t have the right to change their minds. Your right as a consumer to change your mind does not apply in respect of:

(a)  products sealed for health protection or hygiene purposes, once these have been unsealed after you receive them;

(b)  sealed audio or sealed video recordings or sealed computer software, once these products are unsealed after you receive them; and

(c)  any products which become mixed inseparably with other items after their delivery.

8.6  How long do consumers have to change their minds? If you are a consumer how long you have depends on how it is delivered.

You have 14 days after the day you (or someone you nominate) receives the Product, unless:

(i)  Your goods are split into several deliveries over different days. In this case you have until 14 days after the day you (or someone you nominate) receives the last delivery to change your mind about the products.

(ii)  Your goods are for regular delivery over a set period. In this case you have until 14 days after the day you (or someone you nominate) receives the first delivery of the goods.

8.7  Ending the contract where we are not at fault and there is no right to change your mind. Even if we are not at fault and you are not a consumer who has a right to change their mind (see Clause 8.1), you can still end the contract before it is completed, but you may have to pay us compensation. A contract for goods is completed when the product is delivered and paid for. If you want to end a contract before it is completed where we are not at fault and you have not changed your mind, just contact us to let us know. The contract will end immediately and we will refund any sums paid by you for products not provided but we may deduct from that refund (or, if you have not made an advance payment, charge you) reasonable compensation for the net costs we will incur as a result of your ending the contract. 

9.  HOW TO END THE CONTRACT WITH US (INCLUDING IF YOU ARE A CONSUMER WHO HAS CHANGED THEIR MIND)

You must either return the products in person or post them back to us to the provided address given by our customer service team. Please call customer services on 01473 760346 or email us at [email protected] for a return label or to arrange the return of the products in person.

9.3  When we will pay the costs of return. We will pay the costs of return:

(a)  if the products are faulty or misdescribed; or

In all other circumstances (including where you are a consumer exercising your right to change your mind) you must pay the costs of return.

9.4  How we will refund you. If you are entitled to a refund under these terms we will refund you the price you paid for the products including delivery costs, by the method you used for payment. However, we may make deductions from the price, as described below.

9.5  When we may make deductions from refunds if you are a consumer exercising your right to change your mind. If you are exercising your right to change your mind:

(a)  We may reduce your refund of the price (excluding delivery costs) to reflect any reduction in the value of the product, if this has been caused by your handling them in a way which would not be permitted in a shop. If we refund you the price paid before we are able to inspect the goods and later discover you have handled them in an unacceptable way, you must pay us an appropriate amount.

(b)  The maximum refund for delivery costs will be the costs of delivery by the least expensive delivery method we offer. For example, if we offer delivery of a product within 3-5 days at one cost but you choose to have the product delivered within 24 hours at a higher cost, then we will only refund what you would have paid for the cheaper delivery option.

9.6  When your refund will be made. We will make any refunds due to you as soon as possible. If you are a consumer exercising your right to change your mind then:

(a)  If the products are goods and we have not offered to collect them, your refund will be made within 14 days from the day on which we receive the product back from you or, if earlier, the day on which you provide us with evidence that you have sent the product back to us. For information about how to return a product to us, see clause 9.2.

(b)  In all other cases, your refund will be made within 14 days of your telling us you have changed your mind

Please provide as many details as possible including your order number as well as a picture if there is something wrong with one of our products. You will be provided with a RMA number by our support team. You must ensure that the RMA number is clearly stated on the package containing your returned products, along with your name and postal address. We cannot process your refund without these details. 

12.  YOUR RIGHTS IN RESPECT OF DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS IF YOU ARE A CONSUMER

12.1  Your legal rights. We are under a legal duty to supply products that are in conformity with this contract. If your product is goods, for example a laptop, the Consumer Rights Act 2015 says goods must be as described, fit for purpose and of satisfactory quality.

12.2  Your obligation to return rejected products. If you wish to exercise your legal rights to reject products you must either return them in person to us or post them back to us or allow us to collect them from you. We will pay the costs of postage or collection. Where collections are arranged by us, you must still ensure that the products are packaged sufficiently, for the type and value of goods being returned. Due to the nature of our products, we recommend original packaging is used. If this is not available, new speciality packaging can be ordered from us. We will only confirm that the item has arrived back to us in a satisfactory condition once we have opened and inspected the product. Please call customer services on 01473 760346 or email us at [email protected] for a return label or to arrange collection.

13.  YOUR RIGHTS IN RESPECT OF DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS IF YOU ARE A BUSINESS

13.1  If you are a business customer we warrant that on delivery any products which are goods shall:

(a)  conform in all material respects with their description and any relevant specification;

(b)  be free from material defects in design, material and workmanship;

(c)  be of satisfactory quality (within the meaning of the Sale of Goods Act 1979); and

(d)  Be fit for any purpose held out by us.

13.2  Subject to Clause 13.3, if:

(a)  you give us notice in writing within a reasonable time of discovery that a product does not comply with the warranty set out in Clause 13.1;

(b)  we are given a reasonable opportunity of examining such product; and

(c)  you return such product to us at our cost,

we shall, at our option, repair or replace the defective product, or refund the price of the defective product in full.

13.3  We will not be liable for a product’s failure to comply with the warranty in Clause 13.1 if:

(a)  you make any further use of such product after giving a notice in accordance with Clause 13.2(a);

(b)  the defect arises because you failed to follow our oral or written instructions as to the storage, installation, commissioning, use or maintenance of the product or (if there are none) good trade practice;

(c)  the defect arises as a result of us following any drawing, design or specification supplied by the Customer;

(d)  you alter or repair the product without our written consent; or

(e)  the defect arises as a result of fair wear and tear, wilful damage, negligence, or abnormal working conditions.

13.4  Except as provided in this Clause 13, we shall have no liability to you in respect of a product’s failure to comply with the warranty set out in Clause 13.1.

13.5  These terms shall apply to any repaired or replacement products supplied by us under Clause 13.2.

14.  PRICE AND PAYMENT

14.1  Where to find the price for the product. The price of the product (which includes VAT) will be the price indicated on the order pages when you placed your order. For those customers who are not based in the UK, we facilitate the ability for you to enter a valid VAT number on checkout, thereby allowing for VAT to be deducted from the price of the product. We take all reasonable care to ensure that the price of the product advised to you is correct. However please see Clause 14.3 for what happens if we discover an error in the price of the product you order. 

14.2  We will pass on changes in the rate of VAT. If the rate of VAT changes between your order date and the date we supply the product, we will adjust the rate of VAT that you pay, unless you have already paid for the product in full before the change in the rate of VAT takes effect.

14.3  What happens if we got the price wrong. It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the products we sell may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices before accepting your order so that, where the product’s correct price at your order date is less than our stated price at your order date, we will charge the lower amount. If the product’s correct price at your order date is higher than the price stated to you, we will contact you for your instructions before we accept your order. If we accept and process your order where a pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could reasonably have been recognised by you as a mispricing, we may end the contract, refund you any sums you have paid and require the return of any goods provided to you.

14.4  When you must pay and how you must pay. We accept payment with Maestro, Master Card, Visa, Visa Electron, PayPal and Bank Transfer. You must pay for the products before we dispatch them. We will not charge your credit or debit card until we dispatch the products to you.

14.5  Our right of set-off if you are a business customer. If you are a business customer you must pay all amounts due to us under these terms in full without any set-off, counterclaim, deduction or withholding (other than any deduction or withholding of tax as required by law).

14.6  We can charge interest if you pay late. If you do not make any payment to us by the due date we may charge interest to you on the overdue amount at the rate of 2% a year above the base lending rate of Barclays Bank from time to time. This interest shall accrue on a daily basis from the due date until the date of actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgment. You must pay us interest together with any overdue amount.

14.7  What to do if you think an invoice is wrong. If you think an invoice is wrong please contact us promptly to let us know. You will not have to pay any interest until the dispute is resolved. Once the dispute is resolved we will charge you interest on correctly invoiced sums from the original due date.

15.  OUR RESPONSIBILITY FOR LOSS OR DAMAGE SUFFERED BY YOU IF YOU ARE A CONSUMER 

15.1  We are responsible to you for foreseeable loss and damage caused by us. If we fail to comply with these terms, we are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breaking this contract or our failing to use reasonable care and skill, but we are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable. Loss or damage is foreseeable if either it is obvious that it will happen or if, at the time the contract was made, both we and you knew it might happen, for example, if you discussed it with us during the sales process.

15.2  We do not exclude or limit in any way our liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so. This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors; for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; for breach of your legal rights in relation to the products. 

15.3  If products which we have supplied damages a device or digital content belonging to you. If this happens and is caused by our failure to use reasonable care and skill we will either repair the damage or pay you compensation. However, we will not be liable for damage which you could have avoided by following our advice to apply an update offered to you free of charge or for damage which was caused by you failing to correctly follow installation instructions or to have in place the minimum system requirements advised by us. 

15.4  We are not liable for business losses. If you are a consumer we only supply the products to you for domestic and private use. If you use the products for any commercial, business or re-sale purpose our liability to you will be limited as set out in clause 16.

16.  OUR RESPONSIBILITY FOR LOSS OR DAMAGE SUFFERED BY YOU IF YOU ARE A BUSINESS

16.1 Nothing in these terms shall limit or exclude our liability for:

(a)  death or personal injury caused by our negligence, or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors (as applicable);

(b)  fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation;

(c)  breach of the terms implied by section 12 of the Sale of Goods Act 1979 or section 2 of the Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982; 

(d)  defective products under the Consumer Protection Act 1987; or

(e)  any matter in respect of which it would be unlawful for us to exclude or restrict liability.

16.2  Except to the extent expressly stated in Clause 13.1 all terms implied by sections 13 to 15 of the Sale of Goods Act 1979 and sections 3 to 5 of the Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982 are excluded.

16.3  Subject to Clause 16.1:

(a)  we shall not be liable to you, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty, or otherwise, for any loss of profit, or any indirect or consequential loss arising under or in connection with any contract between us; and

(b)  our total liability to you for all other losses arising under or in connection with any contract between us, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty, or otherwise, shall be limited to the total sums paid by you for products under the contract between us.

If a claim is re-opened during the warranty period, the customer will have a further thirty (30) days to respond to the claim ticket or thirty (30) days to send the item upon request.
