1.3 Any reference to a working day is a working day in England (Monday – Friday, excluding bank holidays).

2. The Contract

2.1 These Terms and Conditions govern the sale of all Goods by us and will form the basis of the Contract between you and us. If you wish to place an Order with us, you may do so via our Website, which will guide you through the ordering process, or by telephoning, emailing or faxing us. Before submitting your Order to us, you will be given the opportunity to review and amend it. Please ensure that you have checked your Order and that you have read these Terms and Conditions carefully before submitting it. If you are unsure about any part of these Terms and Conditions, please ask us for clarification.

2.2 No part of our Website or sales literature constitutes a contractual offer capable of acceptance. Your Order constitutes a contractual offer that we may, at our sole discretion, accept. We will indicate our acceptance sending you an Order Confirmation by email. Only once we have sent you an Order Confirmation will there be a legally binding Contract between you and us.

2.3 The Order Confirmation will confirm the Goods ordered with fully itemised pricing including, where appropriate, taxes, delivery and other charges, our identity and contact details, and the delivery option you have chosen for the Goods.

2.4 If, for any reason, we do not accept or cannot fulfil your Order, we will not take payment under normal circumstances. If we have taken payment, we will refund this to you as soon as possible (and in any event, within 14 days).

2.5 Once your Order has been accepted as detailed in clause 2.2, we cannot accept any changes to it.

3. Description and Specification of Goods

3.1 We have made every reasonable effort to ensure that the Goods conform to the photographs and descriptions shown on our Website. Please note that certain colours may look different to the actual colour of the Goods, when displayed on an electronic device and are for illustrative purposes only.

3.2 We reserve the right to make changes to the specification of the Goods without notifying you, if this is needed to conform to any applicable safety, legal or regulatory requirements.

3.3 We do not represent or warrant that particular Goods will be available. If the Goods are not available, then clause 2.4 will apply.

4. Price and Payment

4.1 The price of the Goods will be that shown on our Website or notified to you by telephone or email at the time of your Order. Our prices may change at any time but this will not affect any Orders that we have already accepted.

4.2 We have made every reasonable effort to ensure that the prices we show are correct. If we find, or are made aware of, any typographical or other accidental errors or omissions, we will make every reasonable effort to correct these as soon as possible. In the event that we note any discrepancies, we will notify you of such and will not action the Orders until confirmation to proceed by you has been received.

4.3 If there is an obvious pricing error, we will be under no obligation to provide the Goods to you at the incorrect (lower) price, even after we have sent you an Order Confirmation, if the price error is unmistakable and you could have reasonably recognised it as a mispricing. We will check the prices when we process your Order.

4.4 All prices are shown inclusive and exclusive of any applicable taxes. If the rate of tax changes between the date of your Order and the date of your payment, we will adjust the rate of tax that you must pay. Changes in tax will not affect any prices where we have already received payment from you in full.

4.5 Delivery charges are not included in the price of the Goods. Delivery options and any related charges will be presented to you as part of the Order process.

4.6 Subject to clause 4.8, payment for the Goods and any related delivery charges must be made at the time of Order and you will be prompted to pay during the Order process.

4.7 All payments made over the telephone or via the Website will be processed via a payment gateway provider, such as PayPal. No credit or debit card information is provided to us and completion of the transaction will be subject to you agreeing to the payment gateway provider’s terms and conditions, under a separate contractual relationship. We cannot be held liable for any errors, actions, omissions or incorrect charges that they may make, as a third party.

4.8 You can contact us to register for an account. If we agree to do so, at our sole discretion, we will open an account for you and when you log in, the Website will show the agreed discount and/or credit limit, where applicable. You may not share the details with anyone else, unless we authorise this in writing. You will be given the option to pay up front or to add the Order to your credit account. Any credit limit or discount we offer may be revoked at any time. All invoices are payable within 30 days from the date of invoice, or otherwise in accordance with the agreed credit terms, without set-off, retention or deduction. Payment shall be made on the due date notwithstanding that delivery may not have taken place and/or that the ownership in the Goods may not have passed to you. The time for payment is of the essence of the Contract and we reserve the right to charge interest on late payments at the rate of 8% per annum above the Bank of England base lending rate from the due date for payment until the actual date of payment, whether before or after judgment.

5. Delivery

5.1 We aim to despatch Orders that we receive before 4:00pm on a working day, on the same day. Orders received after this time will usually be despatched on the following working day.

5.2 We will send you an email confirmation notifying you when the Order has been despatched. In any event, Goods will be delivered within the dates specified during the Order process (subject to delays caused by events outside of our control - see clause 10).

5.3 Orders will be delivered by courier and you will be required to sign for the delivery. If no-one is available at your delivery address to receive the Goods, then we may need to charge for the redelivery. If your Order has not arrived by the estimated delivery date, please contact us in writing as soon as possible so we can investigate.

5.4 Large Orders will be delivered by pallet. In this case, delivery will be to the kerbside only.

5.5 If there are likely to be any delivery restrictions to your chosen address, please contact us before placing your Order, as this may incur additional costs.

5.6 In the unlikely event that you have not received your Order within 72 hours, please contact us so we can investigate.

5.7 If you do not wish to cancel under clause 5.6 or none of those circumstances apply, you may specify a new (reasonable) delivery date. If we fail to meet the new deadline, you may then treat the Contract as being at an end.

5.8 Delivery will be deemed to have taken place when the Goods have been delivered to the delivery address indicated in your Order and you (or someone identified by you) have taken physical possession of the Goods. If you have nominated a safe place in which the courier can leave the Goods without a signature, delivery will be deemed to have taken place when the Goods are delivered to this safe place.

5.9 The responsibility (sometimes referred to as the “risk”) for the Goods remains with us until delivery is complete as defined in clause 5.8, at which point it will pass to you. You own the Goods only once we have received payment for them in full.

6. Cancellation and Returns

6.1 You may not cancel any Order which we have accepted, except with our written agreement and on the basis that you will indemnify us in full against all loss, costs, restocking fees and other expenses we may incur as a result of the cancellation.

6.2 If, on delivery, you are not satisfied with the Goods and wish to return them, you may do so only provided:

6.2.1 You inspect the Goods on delivery. Where the Goods cannot be examined, the delivery note or such other note as appropriate must be marked as “not examined”.

6.2.2 You inform us that you wish to return the Goods within 48 hours of delivery;

6.2.3 The Goods remain in their original condition, as delivered;

6.2.4 The Goods are returned at your risk and you agree to bear the cost of delivery to us; and

6.2.5 You indemnify us against any cost incurred by us in rectifying any deterioration of the Goods caused by incorrect storage or use while in your possession.

6.3 If, on receipt, we prove the Goods to be damaged or defective, and you comply with clause 8.2 above, we may refund the cost of delivery at our discretion.

6.4 You must return all Goods to us in their original condition, in their original, un-opened packaging, with proof of purchase.

6.5 We may offer to replace the Goods (or the defective part of them), or offer you a credit or refund at our discretion. This will only be issued to you once we receive the original Goods back.

6.6 If the Goods are not returned in the original packaging, we will charge or deduct a small fee from the refund or credit as applicable.

7. Cancellations by Us

7.1 We may cancel your Order at any time before we despatch the Goods to you, if the Goods are no longer in stock and we are unable to re-stock (if, for example, the Goods are discontinued); or If an event outside of our control occurs (please see clause 10).

7.2 If we cancel your Order and you have already paid for the Goods under clause 4, we will confirm this in writing and will refund the payment to you within 14 days.

7.3 We may cancel any Order, suspend further deliveries, terminate your account and/or charge you interest on the overdue amount at the rate of 8% per annum above the Bank of England base rate, if you breach your Contract with us, or if you become insolvent, bankrupt or anything similar occurs. In this event, we will have the right to request immediate payment for any Goods that have been delivered but not yet paid for, and we will be entitled to require you to deliver any Goods to us in which we retain ownership and, if you fail to do so, to enter upon any premises of yours or any third party during normal working hours where the Goods are stored and repossess them.
