2. HOW THE CONTRACT IS FORMED BETWEEN YOU AND US

2.1 By placing an order through our site, you warrant that you are legally capable of entering into binding contracts and are at least 18 years old.

 

2.2 The Buyer shall place an order to purchase a Product by placing an order on the website. Our order process allows you to check and amend any errors before submitting your order to us. Please take the time to read and check your order at each page of the order process.

 

2.3 After placing an order, you will receive an "Order Confirmation" e-mail from us acknowledging that we have received your order and containing details of the order made. Please note that this does not mean that your order has been accepted. Your order constitutes an offer to us in respect of your purchase of a Product from us. All orders are subject to acceptance by us, and we will confirm such acceptance to you by sending you an invoice by e-mail that confirms that the Product has been dispatched (this constitutes the "Dispatch Confirmation"). The contract between you and us ("Contract") will only be formed when we send you the Dispatch Confirmation. This Contract incorporates these terms and conditions and is between you and us and no other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms.

 

2.4 The Contract will relate only to those Products whose dispatch we have confirmed in the Dispatch Confirmation. We will not be obliged to supply any other Products which may have been part of your order until the dispatch of such Products has been confirmed in a separate Dispatch Confirmation.

 

2.5 If we are unable to supply you with a Product, for example because that Product is not in stock or no longer available or because of an error in the price on our site, we will inform you of this by e-mail and we will not process your order. If you have already paid for the Products, we will refund you the full amount as soon as possible.

 

2.6 If you have placed your order wholly or mainly in the course of a trade, business, craft or profession, you may not cancel your order if it has already been accepted by the Seller except with the agreement in writing of the Seller. For the avoidance of doubt, in respect of any Order cancelled in accordance with this clause, Buyer shall be responsible and liable for, and Seller may invoice the Buyer for, and and any cost incurred by Seller in respect of that Order.

 

2.7 If you are a consumer, you have a right to cancel your order within 14 calendar days of delivery of the Products as set out in clause 3.10 below.



3. OUR PRODUCTS / DELIVERY

3.1. The images of the Products on our site are for illustrative purposes only. Although we have made every effort to display the colours accurately, we cannot guarantee that your computer's display of the colours accurately reflect the colour or dimension of the Products. The Products delivered to you (and the packaging of those Products) may vary slightly from the images on our site.

 

3.2 Delivery of the Products shall be made by the Seller delivering the Products via a courier, the cost of which is defined on our website and will be displayed prior to the placing of your order.

 

3.3 Any dates quoted for delivery of the Products are approximate only. Please note that timescales for delivery of the Products may vary depending on the availability of the Products and your address. The Products may be delivered by the Seller in advance of the quoted delivery date. Time for delivery shall not be of the essence unless previously agreed by the Seller in writing.

 

3.4 Where the Products are to be delivered in instalments, each delivery shall constitute a separate contract and failure by the Seller to deliver any one or more of the instalments in accordance with these terms and conditions or any claim by the Buyer in respect of any one or more instalments shall not entitle the Buyer to treat the Contract as a whole as cancelled.

 

3.5 If the Buyer has placed its order wholly or mainly in the course of a trade, business, craft or profession, any claim for shortage in any delivery must be notified to the Seller in writing within two calendar days of the date of receipt of the Products by the Buyer.

 

Note: The following clauses 3.6 to 3.10 (inclusive) only apply to Buyers who are consumers.

 

3.6 If we fail to deliver the Products to you within 30 calendar days of your order then you may cancel your order immediately if any of the following conditions apply:

 

3.6.1 we have refused to deliver the Products;

 

3.6.2 delivery within 30 calendar days was essential (taking into account all the relevant circumstances); or

 

3.6.3 you told us before we had sent you a Delivery Confirmation that delivery within 30 calendar days was essential.

 

3.7 If you do not wish to cancel your order straight away, or do not have the right to do so under clause 3.6 above, you can give us a new deadline for delivery, which must be reasonable, and you can cancel your order if we do not meet the new deadline.

 

3.8 If you do choose to cancel your order for late delivery under clause 3.6 or clause 3.7, you can do so for just some of the Products or all of them, unless splitting them up would significantly reduce their value. If the Products have been delivered to you, you will have to return them to us or allow us to collect them, and we will pay the costs of this. After you cancel your order, we will refund any sums you have paid to us for the cancelled Products and their delivery.

 

3.9 As a consumer, you have legal rights in relation to any Products that are faulty or not as described. We are under a legal duty to supply Products that are in conformity with the Contract. Advice about your legal rights is available from your local Citizens' Advice Bureau or Trading Standards office. Nothing in these terms and conditions will affect these legal rights.

 

3.10 As a consumer, you also have a right to cancel any Contract between us within 14 calendar days of delivery of the Products under this clause 3, without giving reasons and in return for a full refund (except as set out in the remainder of this clause 3.10). If you choose to exercise this right of cancellation, you just need to let us know that you have decided to cancel. The easiest way to do this is to click here and complete the online cancellation form. Alternatively, you may complete and return to us the model cancellation form set out at the end of these terms and conditions. We will confirm receipt of your cancellation notice by contacting you in writing (by e-mail or by pre-paid post to the address you provide to us). Upon cancellation, you will be required to return the Products to us without undue delay at the address set out in clause 1. If you cancel your Contract, we will:

 

3.10.1 refund you the price you paid for the Products. However, please note we are permitted by law to reduce your refund to reflect: (i) any reduction in the value of the Products, if this has been caused by your handling them in a way which has gone     beyond what would have been necessary to establish their nature, characteristics and functioning; and/or (ii) any costs payable by you in respect of any after-sales services expressly requested by you and provided by us in respect of the Products during the 14-calendar-day period following the date of delivery. 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 agree to pay us an appropriate amount;

 

3.10.2 refund any delivery costs you have paid, although, as permitted by law, the maximum refund will be the costs of delivery by the least expensive delivery method we offer (provided that this is a common and generally acceptable method). 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; and

 

3.10.3 make any refunds due to you as soon as possible and in any event within the following deadlines:

a. if you have received the Products and we have not offered to collect it from you: 14 days after the day on which we receive the Products back from you or, if earlier, the day on which you provide us with evidence that you have sent the Products back to us; or

b. if you have not received the Product or you have received it and we have offered to collect it from you: 14 days after you inform us of your decision to cancel the Contract.

 

Please note that you will lose the right of cancellation set out in this clause 3.10 if the Products become mixed inseparably with other items following delivery.



4. INTERNATIONAL DELIVERY

4.1 We deliver to the countries listed on this page ("International Delivery Destinations"). However, there are restrictions on some Products for certain International Delivery Destinations, so please review the information on that page carefully before ordering Products.

 

4.2 If you order Products from our site for delivery to one of the International Delivery Destinations, your order may be subject to import duties and taxes which are applied when the delivery reaches that destination. Please note that we have no control over these charges and we cannot predict their amount.

 

4.3 You will be responsible for payment of any such import duties and taxes. Please contact your local customs office for further information before placing your order.

 

4.4 You must comply with all applicable laws and regulations of the country to which the Products are to be delivered. We will not be liable or responsible if you break any such law.



5. PRICE AND PAYMENT

5.1 Except as described in clause 5.3 below in relation to pricing errors, the price of the Products shall be the Seller's quoted price on our site and displayed prior to the placing of the Buyer's order, in addition to the cost of shipping (including any additional insurance costs, customs duties, clearance charges or equivalent duties), any VAT applicable, the cost of using the relevant means of payment. This information shall also be quoted on the Dispatch Confirmation accepting the Buyer's order. Please note the rules on international deliveries set out in clause 4 above.

 

5.2 The prices on our site are liable to change at any time but, save as set out in clause 5.3, changes will not affect orders in respect of which we have already sent you a Dispatch Confirmation.

 

5.3 Our site contains a large number of Products and it is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the Products listed on our site 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. However, we are under no obligation to provide the Products to you at any 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 mispricing. If a Product's correct price is higher than the price stated on our site, 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.

 

5.4 In the event the Buyer is not an existing customer of us, does not have an established trading account with us and/or is a consumer, then payment for all Products must be by credit card through our site. Your credit card will be charged upon dispatch of the Products.

 

5.5 In the event that the Buyer is an existing customer of us, has an established trading account with us and is a business, then payment for Products shall be made either by credit card through our site or, alternatively, on the basis of an invoice submitted by the Seller to the Buyer for the price of the Products, the cost of shipping and any VAT applicable as part of (or at any time after) the Dispatch Confirmation.

 

5.6 If payment for the Products is to be made on the basis of an invoice submitted by the Seller to the Buyer, then the following shall apply with regard to such payment:

 

5.6.1 The Buyer shall pay the price of the Products purchased in full either in advance or within an agreed number of days of the date of the Seller's invoice, despite the fact that delivery may not have taken place and the title in the Product has not passed to the Buyer. The time of payment of the price shall be of the essence of the Contract;

 

5.6.2 Payment shall be made in Pound sterling (GBP) or such currency as may be agreed by the Parties;

 

5.6.3 If the Buyer fails to make any payment on the due date then, without affecting any other right or remedy available to the Seller, the Seller shall be entitled to:

 

a. cancel the contract or suspend any further deliveries to the Buyer;

 

b. appropriate any payment made by the Buyer to such of the Products as the Seller may think fit; and

 

c. charge the Buyer interest (both before and after any judgment) on the amount unpaid at the rate of 2 percent per annum above the base rate set by the Bank of England's monetary policy committee (or its successor) from time to time, until payment in full is made; and

 

5.6.4 Despite any other term or condition herein (and, in particular, despite any period of credit extended to the Buyer under any agreement made pursuant to clause 5.6.1 above), where the balance of the Buyer's account with the Seller (being the value of invoices charged to the Buyer for which the Seller has not received payment) equals or exceeds the Buyer's agreed credit limit, the Seller may, in its sole discretion, refuse to accept further orders from the Buyer or refuse to make further shipments or sales to the Buyer. Furthermore, the Seller may, in its sole discretion, refuse to accept orders from the Buyer or make sales to the Buyer where the value of the Products ordered by the Buyer would, if invoiced to the Buyer's account, cause the balance of the said account to equal or exceed the said credit limit. Any decision made by the Seller in the exercise of its sole discretion as provided for in this sub-clause shall not, and shall not be deemed to, prejudice, limit, hamper or affect any subsequent exercise by the Seller of its sole discretion.



6. RISK AND TITLE 

6.1 If the Buyer is a consumer, risk of damage to, or loss of, the Products shall remain with the Seller until they have been physically delivered to the Buyer or to a person identified by the Buyer to take physical possession of the Products.

 

6.2 If the Buyer is a business, risk of damage to, or loss of, the Products shall pass to the Buyer:

 

6.2.1 in the case of goods to be delivered to the Buyer at the Seller's place of business or delivered to a courier at the Seller's place of business, at the time when the Seller notifies the Buyer that the Products are available for collection or that the Products have been dispatched with a courier; or

 

6.2.2 in the case of Products to be delivered otherwise than at the Seller's premises, at the time of delivery or, if the Buyer wrongfully fails to take delivery of the Products, the time when the Seller has tendered delivery of the Products.

 

6.3 Despite delivery having taken place and risk in the Products having passed, and despite any other provision of these terms and conditions, the title in the Products shall not pass to the Buyer until the Seller has received in cash or cleared funds payment in full of the price of the Products and all other goods agreed to be sold by the Seller to the Buyer for which payment is then due. Until such time as the title in the Products passes to the Buyer, the Buyer shall hold the Products as the Seller's fiduciary agent and bailee and shall keep the Products separate from the goods of the Buyer and third parties, properly stored, protected, insured and identified on the Buyer's property, but shall be entitled to use the Products as normal. The Buyer hereby irrevocably authorises the Seller or its representatives to enter upon the Buyer's premises where the Products are stored, or are thought to be stored, for the purpose of repossessing them and, if the Seller so chooses, subsequently reselling them.



7. OUR LIABILITY (BUSINESS CUSTOMERS)

Note: This clause 7 shall only apply to Buyers who are acting as a business.

 

7.1 Subject as expressly provided in these Conditions, all warranties, conditions or other terms implied by law are excluded to the fullest extent permitted by law. In particular, the Seller will not be responsible for ensuring that the Products are suitable for your purposes. Any claim by the Buyer which is based on any defect in the quality or condition of the Products or their failure to correspond with specification shall (whether or not delivery is refused by the Buyer) be notified to the Seller within seven calendar days from the date of delivery or (where the defect or failure was not apparent on reasonable inspection) within seven calendar days after discovery of the defect or failure. If delivery is not refused and the Buyer does not notify the Seller accordingly, the Buyer shall not be entitled to reject the Products and the Seller shall have no liability for such defect or failure and the Buyer shall be bound to pay the price of the Products as if the Products had been delivered in accordance with the Contract. The Seller shall not be liable for any losses arising from any delay in delivery of the Products howsoever caused.

 

7.2 Where any valid claim in respect of any of the Products which is based on any defect in the quality or condition of the Products or their failure to meet E6 specification is notified to the Seller in accordance with these terms and conditions, the Seller shall be entitled to replace the Products (or the part in question) free of charge for the replacing items or, at the Seller's sole discretion, refund to the Buyer the price of the Products (or a proportionate part of the price), but the Seller shall have no further liability to the Buyer.

 

7.3 The Seller is liable only for defects which appear under the conditions of operation provided for in the Contract and under the proper use of the Products.

 

7.4 The Seller shall not be liable to the Buyer by reason of any representation, or any implied warranty, condition or other term, or any duty at common law, or under the express terms of the Contract, for any losses (whether for loss of profit, revenue, business opportunity, goodwill or otherwise), damage, costs, expenses or other claims for compensation that are not reasonably foreseeable by the Buyer or the Seller (and whether caused by the negligence of the Seller, its employees or agents or otherwise) which arise out of or in connection with the supply of the Products or their use or resale by the Buyer, except as expressly provided in these terms and conditions.

 

7.5 Nothing in these terms and conditions limits or excludes the Seller's liability for: (i) death or personal injury caused by the Seller's negligence; or (ii) fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.



8. OUR LIABILITY (CONSUMERS)

Note: This clause 8 shall only apply to Buyers who are consumers.

 

8.1 If the Seller fails to comply with these terms and conditions, the Seller is responsible for loss or damage the Buyer suffers that is a foreseeable result of the Seller's breach of these terms and conditions or our negligence. However, the Seller is not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable. Loss or damage is foreseeable if it is an obvious consequence of the Seller's breach or if it was contemplated by the Buyer and the Seller at the time the parties entered into the Contract.

 

8.2 The Seller only supplies the Products for domestic and private use. The Buyer agrees not to use the Products for any commercial, business or resale purposes, and the Seller has no liability to the Buyer for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption or loss of business opportunity.

 

8.3 Nothing in these terms and conditions limits or excludes the Seller's liability for: (i) death or personal injury caused by the Seller's negligence; (ii) fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; (iii) breach of the terms implied by section 12 of the Sale of Goods Act 1979 (title and quiet possession); (iv) any breach of the terms implied by section 13 to 15 of the Sale of Goods Act 1979 (description, satisfactory quality, fitness for purpose and samples); or (v) defective products under the Consumer Protection Act 1987.



9. EVENTS OUTSIDE OUR CONTROL

9.1 We will not be liable or responsible for any failure to perform, or delay in performance of, any of our obligations under any Contract that is caused by an Event Outside Our Control. An Event Outside Our Control is defined below in clause 9.2.

 

9.2 An "Event Outside Our Control" means any act or event beyond our reasonable control, including, but not limited to, acts, restrictions, regulations, bye-laws, prohibitions or measures of any kind on the part of any governmental parliamentary or local authority, explosion, fire, storm, flood, earthquake, subsidence, epidemic or other natural disaster, war (whether declared or not) or threat or preparation for war, civil commotion, riot, invasion, terrorist attack or threat of terrorist attack, insurrection, international sanctions or boycotts, import or export regulations or embargoes, difficulties in obtaining raw materials, labour, fuel, parts or machinery, power failure or breakdown in machinery, strikes, lock-outs or other industrial action by third parties, failure of public or private telecommunications networks or impossibility of the use of railways, shipping, aircraft, motor transport or other means of public or private transport.

9.3.1 we will contact you as soon as reasonably possible to notify you; and

 

9.3.2 our obligations under a Contract will be suspended and the time for performance of our obligations will be extended for the duration of the Event Outside Our Control. Where the Event Outside Our Control affects our delivery of Products to you, we will arrange a new delivery date with you after the Event Outside Our Control is over.

 

9.4 You may cancel a Contract affected by an Event Outside Our Control which has continued for more than 30 calendar days. To do so, please contact us. If you opt to cancel a Contract, you will have to return (at our cost) any relevant Products you have already received and we will refund the price you have paid, including any delivery charges.



10. CANCELLATION (BUSINESS CUSTOMERS)

Note: This clause 10 only applies to Buyers who are acting as a business.

 

If the Buyer makes any voluntary arrangement with its creditors, becomes subject to an administration, or goes into liquidation, or if an encumbrancer takes possession of assets or a receiver is appointed; or if the Buyer ceases to, or threatens to cease to, carry on business; or the Seller takes the reasonable view that any of the events mentioned above is likely to occur and notifies the Buyer accordingly, then without affecting any other right or remedy available to the Seller, the Seller shall be entitled to cancel the Contract without any liability to the Buyer and, if Products have been delivered but not paid for, either (at the Seller's sole discretion): (i) the applicable price in respect of the Products shall become immediately due and payable by the Buyer; or (ii) the Products shall be returned to the Seller by the Buyer, or the Seller or its representatives shall be entitled to enter upon the Buyer's premises for the purpose of repossessing the Products in accordance with clause 6.3.
