4. Our contract

4.1          Once you have placed your order, we will send you an e-mail acknowledging receipt. Please note that this does not mean that we have accepted your order. Your order constitutes your offer to us to buy goods from us. All orders are subject to acceptance by us, and we will confirm our acceptance by sending you an e-mail stating that the goods have been dispatched (the “dispatch confirmation”). There will be no contract between us until we send you the dispatch confirmation.

4.2          The contract between us will relate only to the goods detailed in the dispatch confirmation. We will not be obliged to supply any other goods which may have been part of your order until such time as the dispatch of those goods has been confirmed in a separate dispatch confirmation.

5. Our relationship with third parties

5.1          In some cases, we accept orders as agents on behalf of third party sellers. The resulting contract is between you and that third party seller, and not between you and us. In these circumstances, the contract will be subject to the terms and conditions of the third party seller, and they will let you know what these are. You should carefully review their terms and conditions as these will apply to your transaction.

5.2          Where we provide links on the site to the websites of other organisations, (whether affiliated with us or not), we cannot give any undertaking that any goods you purchase from third party sellers through the site, or from companies to whose website we have provided a link on the site, 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. If a third party is involved in a transaction, we will let you know. Please note that we may disclose your customer information related to that transaction to the third party seller.

6. Consumer rights

6.1          If you are contracting as a consumer, you may cancel a contract between us at any time within 7 working days, beginning on the day after you received the goods. If you do so, we will give you a full refund of the price paid for the goods, in accordance with our refunds policy which is set out in paragraph 10 below.

6.2          In the event that you wish to cancel a contract, you must inform us in writing of your decision and return the goods to us immediately, at your own cost and risk. The goods must be in the same condition in which you received them (please note that you have a legal obligation to take reasonable care of the goods whilst they are in your possession, and we may have a right to claim compensation from you if you do not do this).

Details of your rights and how to exercise them are provided in the dispatch confirmation. Your statutory rights are not affected.

7. Fulfilment of your order

Your order will be fulfilled by the delivery date set out in the dispatch confirmation. If the dispatch confirmation does not specify a delivery date, then your order will be fulfilled within 3-7 working days days of the date of the dispatch confirmation, unless there are exceptional circumstances.

8. Risk and ownership

8.1          The goods will be at your risk from the time of delivery.

8.2          Ownership of the goods will not pass to you until we receive full payment of all sums due in respect of the goods (including any applicable delivery charges).

9.2          The prices quoted do not include VAT, this will be added to the order at checkout.

9.3          We may change our prices at any time, but any changes we make will not apply to orders in relation to which we have already sent you a dispatch confirmation.

Please note that we are under no obligation to provide the goods 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.

9.4          Goods must be paid for by credit/debit card or PayPal. We accept payment with Visa, MasterCard, Switch/Maestro, Solo.

We will refund the price of the goods to you in full, including the cost of sending them to you. However, you will be responsible for the cost of returning the goods to us;

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.
