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 we cannot meet your requested delivery date or because of an error in the price on our site, we will inform you of this and we will not process your order. If you have already paid for the Product, we will refund you the full amount including any delivery costs charged as soon as possible.

Your right to end the Contract and refunds

Cooling off rights

7. You have the right to cancel a Contract 14 days after the day on which you receive the Product (Cancellation Period). Your right to cancel a Contract starts from the date of the Dispatch Confirmation. For example, if we provide you with a Dispatch Confirmation on 1 January and you receive the Product on 10 January you may cancel at any time between 1 January and the end of the day on 24 January.

8. This means that during the Cancellation Period if you change your mind or decide for any other reason that you do not want to receive or keep a Product, you can notify us of your decision to cancel the Contract and receive a refund. Please see more details about cancellation and refunds in Paragraph 12.

9. To cancel a Contract, you just need to let us know that you have decided to cancel. The easiest way to do this is to complete the Cancellation Form at the bottom of these terms or contact our Customer Services team by telephone on 0800 783 9866.. We will confirm this in writing to you.

10. During the Cancellation Period, if a Product has been delivered to you before you decide to cancel your Contract then you must return it to us without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days after the day on which you let us know that you wish to cancel the Contract. For your return labels, please contact us at 0800 783 9866.. Please ask for a Certificate of Posting when returning the Product to us as proof of postage.

Your right to end the Contract

11. You can always end a Contract if:

1. The Product is faulty or does not conform with its description.
2. 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;
3. there is a risk that supply of the Product may be significantly delayed because of events outside our control; or
4. we have suspended supply of the Product for technical reasons, or notify you we are going to suspend them for technical reasons.

You will have 30 days from the day of delivery to reject the faulty or non-conforming Product. During this 30 day period, you may choose to have the Product repaired or replaced. If the Product is still faulty or non-conforming after a repair or replacement or a repair or replacement is not possible or not carried out within a reasonable time and without significant inconvenience to you, you will be entitled to reject the Product or a price reduction.

Refunds

12. If you cancel your Contract we will:

1. refund you the price you paid for the Product. However, please note we are permitted by law to reduce your refund 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.
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. 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.
3. reimburse all payments received as follows:
   • No more than 14 days after the day on which we were informed about your decision to cancel the Contract; or
   • If you had already received the Product, 14 days after the day we receive back the Product in a resalable condition (i.e. in original box and not tampered), and using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of the reimbursement. If you used vouchers to pay for the Product we may refund you in vouchers. Please ask for a Certificate of Posting when returning the Product to us as proof of postage.

13. Where you exercise your cooling off right or your legal right to end the Contract, you must return the Product to us.

14. If you have returned the Product to us because it is faulty or mis-described, we will refund the price of the Product in full, together with any applicable delivery charges, and any reasonable costs you incur in returning the item to us. Unless the Product is faulty or not as described you will be responsible for the cost of returning the Product to us.

Delivery

15. During the online sales process, we will give you an estimated delivery date. We will deliver the Product as soon as reasonably possible and in any event within 30 days after the day on which we accept your order. Delivery of an order shall be completed when we deliver the Product to the address you gave us and the Product will be your responsibility from that time.

16. The price of a Product does not include delivery charges. Our delivery charges are as advised to you during the check-out process, before you confirm your order.

17. You own the Product once we have received payment in full, including all applicable delivery charges. The Product will become your responsibility from the time we deliver it to the delivery address you gave us.

Price of products and payment

19. The prices of the Product will be as quoted on our site at the time you submit your order. Our prices include VAT. We take all reasonable care to ensure that the price of the Product is correct at the time when the relevant information was entered onto the system. If we discover an error in the price of Product(s) you ordered, the following shall apply:

1. where the Product’s correct price is less than the price stated on our site, we will charge the lower amount when dispatching the Product 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 Product to you at the incorrect (lower) price; and
2. if the Product’s correct price is higher than the price stated on our site, 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.

20. 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).

21. You can only pay for a Product using a debit card or credit card. You must pay for the Product before we dispatch it. We will not charge your credit or debit card until we dispatch the Product to you.

22. Although we may allow you to pay for the Product(s) and all applicable delivery charges by instalments, payment for the Product(s) and all applicable delivery charges are due in advance and relate to the full price of the Product(s) ordered.

23. Where payments are made by instalments and you miss an instalment payment, your ability to pay by instalments shall cease and you shall be required to make immediate payment in full of any remaining Product(s) cost(s). We shall be entitled to take legal action to recover any amounts owed together with any interest and costs incurred in doing so.
