2.3. How we may contact you. If we have to contact you we will do so by telephone or by writing to you at the email address or postal address you provided to us in your order.
2.4. "Writing" includes emails. When we use the words "writing" or "written" in these terms, this includes emails.
- OUR CONTRACT WITH YOU
3.1. How we will accept your order. Our acceptance of your order will take place when we email you to accept it, at which point a contract will come into existence between you and us. Please note that we will issue an automatic order acknowledgment upon receiving your order; this acknowledgement merely confirms that we have received your order and that we are reviewing it, it does not mean that we have accepted your order. If we can meet your order, we will issue an order confirmation (after the order acknowledgement) to confirm this.
3.2. If we cannot accept your order. If we are unable to accept your order, we will inform you of this and will not charge you for the goods and/or services (or will refund you if you have already paid for them). This might be because the goods are out of stock, because of unexpected limits on our resources which we could not reasonably plan for, because we have identified an error in the price or description of the goods or because we are un-able to meet a proposed delivery deadline.
3.3. Your order number. We will assign an order number to your order when we accept your order. It will help us if you can tell us the order number whenever you contact us about your order.
3.4. We only sell to the UK. Our website is solely for the promotion and sale of our goods in the UK. Please contact us if you wish to place an order from outside of the UK.
- OUR GOODS
4.1. Goods may vary slightly from their pictures. The images of the goods on our website are for illustrative purposes only. Although we have made reasonable efforts to display the colours accurately, we cannot guarantee that a device's display of the colours accurately reflects the colour of the goods. Your goods may vary slightly from those images. Although we have made every effort to be as accurate as possible, all sizes, weights, capacities, dimensions and measurements indicated on our website have a 10% tolerance.
4.2. Goods packaging may vary. The packaging of the goods may vary from that shown in images on our website.
4.3. Making sure your measurements are accurate. If we are making the goods or performing the services to measurements you have given us you are responsible for ensuring that these measurements, and all other information (including designs) that you provide to us, are correct.
- YOUR RIGHTS TO MAKE CHANGES
5.1. If you wish to make a change to the goods and/or services you have ordered please contact us. We will let you know if the change is possible. If it is possible we will let you know about any changes to the price of the goods and/or services, the timing of supply or anything else which would be necessary as a result of your requested change and ask you to confirm whether you wish to go ahead with the change.
- OUR RIGHTS TO MAKE CHANGES
6.1. Minor changes to the goods and/or services. We may change the goods and/or services:
6.1.1. to reflect changes in applicable laws and regulatory requirements; and
6.1.2. to implement minor technical adjustments and improvements. These changes will not affect your use of the goods.
6.2. In addition, we may make other changes to these terms, the goods or the services (for example by changing the brand of the goods that you have ordered because we believe another brand would better suit your needs), but if we do so and the change is material to the contract, we will notify you and you may then contact us to end the contract before the changes take effect and receive a refund for any goods paid for but not received.
- PROVIDING THE GOODS AND SERVICES
7.1. Delivery costs. The costs of delivery will be as displayed to you on our website.
7.2. When we will provide the goods and/or services. We will notify you of an estimated delivery date when we notify you that your order has been accepted. Please note that this date is not binding and we may deliver the goods or perform the services before or after that date, although we will use reasonable efforts to deliver the goods or perform the services on or before that date. We will contact you to arrange delivery.
7.3. We are not responsible for delays outside our control. If our supply of the goods and/or services is delayed by an event outside our control then we will contact you to let you know and we will take steps to minimise the effect of the delay. Provided that we do this we will not be liable for delays caused by the event, but if we have notified you that there is a risk of substantial delay, you may be entitled to end the contract and receive a refund for any goods or services you have paid for but not received.
7.4. How we deliver the goods. We will deliver the goods kerbside to the delivery location specified by you. This means that we will offload the goods from the delivery vehicle onto the kerb or similar unloading area close to the delivery location. You are responsible for transporting the goods from the unloading area onto your property, though we may offer to assist you with this.
7.5. How we perform the services. Our services will be provided using reasonable care and skill. Where requested by us, you must provide us with access to your premises to enable us to provide the services.
7.6. Collection by you. If you have asked to collect the goods from our premises, you can collect them from us at the time specified by us. Please let us know if you wish to collect the goods.
7.7. If you fail to take delivery of the goods, including if you are not at home when the goods are delivered. If no one is available at your address to take delivery, or you fail to take delivery of the goods for any other reason, we will inform you of how to rearrange delivery. We may charge you for any costs we incur as a result of the failed de-livery (including any courier charges), storage costs (including insurance), reasonable administration costs and any further delivery costs. These costs may be charged more than once in the event of multiple failed deliveries. If, despite our reasonable efforts, we are unable to contact you or rearrange delivery or collection we may end the contract and clause 11.4 will apply.
7.8. When you become responsible for the goods. The goods will be your responsibility from the time we deliver the goods to the address you gave us or you (or a carrier organised by you) collect them from us.
7.9. When you own goods. If you are a consumer, you own the goods from the time we deliver the goods to the address you gave us or you (or a carrier organised by you) collect them from us. If you are a business customer, you own the goods from the later of (i) the time we deliver the goods to the address you gave us or you (or a carrier organised by you) collect them from us, or (ii) from when we receive payment in full for all goods that we have supplied or agreed to supply to you, in which case title to the goods shall pass at the time of payment of all such sums.
7.10. Retention of title if you are a business customer. If you are a business customer, until title to the goods has passed to you, you shall:
7.10.1. store the goods separately from all other goods held by you so that they remain readily identifiable as our property;
7.10.2. not remove, deface or obscure any identifying mark or packaging on or relating to the goods;
7.10.3. maintain the goods in satisfactory condition and keep them insured against all risks for their full price on our behalf from the date of delivery;
7.10.4. notify us immediately if you become subject to any of the events listed in clause 11.3; and
7.10.5. give us such information relating to the goods as we may require from time to time and allow us to inspect the goods at any time.
7.11. If you are a business customer you may resell or use the goods in the ordinary course of your business (but not otherwise). However, if you re-sell the goods before title to the goods passes to you, you do so as principal and not as our agent, and title to the goods shall pass to you immediately before the time at which the resale occurs. If you are a business customer and before title to the goods passes to you, you become subject to any of the events listed in clause 11.3, then, without limiting any other right or remedy we may have, we may at any time by written notice to you terminate your right to resell the goods and require you to deliver up all goods in your possession that have not been resold, or irrevocably incorporated into another product, and if you fail to do so promptly, enter any premises where the goods are stored in or-der to recover them.
7.12. What will happen if you do not give required information to us. We may need certain information from you so that we can supply the goods and/or services to you, for example, adequate dimensions and delivery instructions. 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 11.4 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 goods and/or services 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.
7.13. Reasons we may suspend the supply of goods and/or services to you. We may have to suspend the delivery of the goods and/or services to:
7.13.1. deal with technical problems or make minor technical changes;
7.13.2. update the goods to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements;
7.13.3. make changes to the goods and/or services as requested by you or notified by us to you (see clause 6).
7.14. Your rights if we suspend the supply of goods and/or services. If we have to suspend delivery of the goods and/or performance of the services for a significant period for one of the reasons stated above, we may offer to adjust the price, or you may be permitted to end the contract. If you end the contract in these circumstances we will refund any advance sums paid.
7.15. We may also suspend supply of the goods and/or services if you do not pay. If you do not pay us for any goods and/or services when you are supposed to we may suspend supply of the goods and/or services until you have paid us the outstanding amounts. We will contact you to tell you we are suspending supply of the goods and/or services. As well as suspending the goods and/or services we can also charge you interest on your overdue payments (see clause 8.6). If you are a business customer, we may also suspend delivery of the goods and/or services if you become subject to any of the events listed in clause 11.3 (or if we reasonably believe that you are about to become subject to any of those events).
- PRICE AND PAYMENT
8.1. Where to find the price for the goods and/or services. The price of the goods (including VAT) and/or services will be the price indicated on the order pages when you place your order. We take all reasonable care to ensure that the price of the goods and/or services advised to you is correct. However, please see clause 8.3 for what happens if we discover an error in the price of the goods and/or services you order.
8.2. 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 goods, we will adjust the rate of VAT that you pay, unless you have already paid for the goods in full before the change in the rate of VAT takes effect.
8.3. What happens if we got the price wrong. It is always possible that, despite our care, some of the goods we sell may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices before accepting your order so that, where the goods' correct price at your order date is less than our stated price at your order date, we will charge the lower amount. If the goods' 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.
8.4. When you must pay and how you must pay. Payment options will be displayed when you submit your order. Payment is required at the time of placing the order.
8.5. No 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).
8.6. 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 4% a year above the base lending rate of the Bank of England 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 over-due amount.
- YOUR RIGHTS TO END THE CONTRACT
9.1. Ending the contract and cancelling your order. Your rights when you end the contract will depend on what you have bought, whether there is anything wrong with the goods and/or services, how we are performing, when you decide to end the contract and whether you are a consumer or business customer:
9.1.1. If what you have bought is faulty or misdescribed you may have a legal right to end the contract (or to get the goods repaired or re-placed or to get some or all of your money back), see clause 12 if you are a consumer and clause 13 if you are a business customer;
9.1.2. If you want to cancel the order because of something we have done or have told you we are going to do, see clause 9.2;
9.1.3. If you are a consumer and have just changed your mind about the goods, see clause 9.3. 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;
In all other cases (if we are not at fault and you are not a consumer exercising your right to change your mind), you will not be entitled to return the goods or cancel the order unless we have expressly agreed to this in writing.
9.2. Cancelling the order because of something we have done or are going to do. If you wish to cancel the order for a reason set out below the contract will end as soon as you notify us that you are cancelling the contract for the relevant reason, and we will refund you in full for any goods and/or services which have not been provided. The reasons are:
9.2.1. we have told you about an upcoming change to the goods, services or these terms which you do not agree to (see clause 6.2);
9.2.2. we have told you about an error in the price or description of the goods and/or services you have ordered and you do not wish to proceed;
9.2.3. you are a consumer and we have advised you that the supply of the goods and/or services may be significantly delayed because of events outside our control; or
9.2.4. you are a consumer and we have suspended supply of the goods and/or services for a significant period as set out in clause 7.13.
9.3. Exercising your right to change your mind if you are a consumer (Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013). If you are a consumer then for most goods and services bought online you have a legal right to change your mind within 14 days and receive a refund. When you as a consumer do not have a right to change your mind. Your right as a consumer to change your mind does not apply in respect of:
9.3.1. goods sealed for health protection or hygiene purposes, once these have been unsealed after you receive them;
9.3.2. services, once these have been completed; and
9.3.3. any goods which become mixed inseparably with other items after their delivery.
9.4. How long do consumers have to change their minds? If you have purchased goods from us, you have 14 days after the day you (or some-one you nominate) receive the goods, unless 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. If you have purchased services from us, you have 14 days from the day we have accepted your order. However, if you have asked us to perform the ser-vices before the end of the 14 day cooling off period, we will not refund you for any services performed or completed before you told us you changed your mind.
- HOW TO END THE CONTRACT WITH US WHERE YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO DO SO (including if you are a consumer who has changed your mind)
10.1. Tell us you want to end the contract. To end the contract with us where you have a right to do so, please let us know by using one of the methods set out on the 'Contact Us' page of our website, or, if you are consumer, you can print off the form at the foot of these terms and conditions and post it to us at the address on the form. Or simply write to us at that address, including details of what you bought, when you ordered or received it and your name and address.
10.2. Returning goods after ending the contract. If you end the contract for any reason after goods have been dispatched to you or you have received them, you must return them to us. Unless we request otherwise, you must post the goods back to us, or (if they are not suitable for posting) al-low us to collect them from you. Please contact us to arrange collection, if applicable.

10.4. What we charge for collection. We will charge 30 % of the value of any order to be returned plus £150.00 carriage charge.
10.5. 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 goods including delivery costs, by the method you used for payment. However, we may make deductions from the price, as described below.
10.6. When we may make deduction from refunds if you are a consumer exercising your right to change your mind. If you are exercising your right to change your mind:
10.6.1. We may reduce your refund of the price (excluding delivery costs) to reflect any reduction in the value of the goods if this has been caused by your using or handling them in an inappropriate way. If we refund you the price paid before we are able to inspect the goods and later dis-cover you have handled them in an unacceptable way, you must pay us an appropriate amount.
10.6.2. 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 standard delivery of the goods but you opt for express delivery at a higher cost, then we will only refund what you would have paid for the cheaper delivery option.
10.7. When your refund will be made. If you are a consumer exercising your right to change your mind then:

11.3.1. you take any step or action in connection with your entering administration, provisional liquidation or any composition or arrangement with your creditors (other than in relation to a solvent restructuring), being wound up (whether voluntarily or by order of the court, unless for the purpose of a solvent restructuring), having a receiver appointed to any of your assets or ceasing to carry on business or, if the step or action is taken in another jurisdiction, in connection with any analogous procedure in the relevant jurisdiction;

17.1. We may transfer our rights to someone else. We may transfer our rights and obligations under these terms to another organisation. We will tell you in writing if this hap-pens.
17.2. You need our consent to transfer your rights to someone else. You may only transfer your rights or your obligations under these terms to an-other person if we agree to this in writing.

17.4. If a court finds part of this contract illegal, the rest will continue in force. Each of the paragraphs of these terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.
17.5. Even if we delay in enforcing this contract, we can still enforce it later. If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaching this contract, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date. For example, if you miss a payment and we do not chase you but we continue to provide the goods, we can still require you to make the payment at a later date.
17.6. Which laws apply to this contract and where you may bring legal proceedings if you are a consumer.
