How the contract is formed between you and us

1.2 After placing an order, you will receive an e-mail from us acknowledging that we have received your order. Please note that this does not mean that your order has been accepted. Your order constitutes an offer to us to buy a Product. All orders are subject to acceptance by us, and we will confirm such acceptance to you by sending you an e-mail that confirms that the Product has been completed/dispatched (the Dispatch Confirmation). The contract between us (Contract) will only be formed when we send you the Completed/Dispatch Confirmation.

1.3 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.

Availability and delivery

Subject to our receipt of full payment in cleared funds, your order will be fulfilled by the delivery date set out in the Dispatch Confirmation or, if no delivery date is specified, then within 30 days of the date of the Dispatch Confirmation, unless there are exceptional circumstances.

Risk and title

1.4 The Products will be at your risk from the time of delivery.

1.5 Ownership of the Products will only pass to you when we receive full payment of all sums due in respect of the Products, including delivery charges.

Price and payment

1.6 The price of any Products will be as quoted on our site from time to time, except in cases of obvious error.

1.7 These prices exclude VAT (as stated) and exclude delivery or installation costs, which may be added to the total amount due as set out in our Delivery and Installation Guides on our website.

1.8 Prices are liable to change at any time, but changes will not affect orders in respect of which we have already sent you a Dispatch Confirmation.

1.9 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. 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.

1.10 We are under no obligation to provide the Product 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.

1.11 Payment for all Products via our site must be by credit or debit card. We accept payment with Master Card, Visa. If you wish to pay by any other means please contact our sales team on 0161 793 0707 or [email protected]

1.12 You shall not be entitled to exercise any right of set-off or counter-claim.

Our refunds policy

1.13a For unwanted goods, you have 14 days to exercise your right of withdrawal. This means you must notify us that they are unwanted within 14 days.

1.13b For faulty goods, you have 30 days to exercise your right of withdrawal. This means you must inspect any Products and notify us of any defect, shortage or incorrect delivery within 30 days of delivery.

1.14 When you return a Product to us, for instance, because you have notified us in accordance with paragraph 18 that you do not agree to any change in these terms and conditions or in any of our policies, or because you claim that the Product is defective, we will examine the returned Product and will notify you of your refund via e-mail within a reasonable period of time. We will usually process the refund due to you as soon as possible and, in any case, within 14 days of the day we confirmed to you via e-mail that you were entitled to a refund for the defective Product. Subject to your notification to us within 30 days of receipt of the Products that the Products are defective and subject to your use of the Product as being within the ordinary and recommended use of such Products, Products returned by you because of a defect will be refunded in full, including a refund of the delivery charges for sending the item to you, the cost incurred by you in returning the item to us.

1.15 You are responsible for the safety of the Products until we have received them from you. Products to be returned must be appropriately packaged and the order number must be clearly visible. You shall be responsible for any Products damaged or lost in transit and shall be liable for the cost of remedying such damage or loss (or the costs of such damage or loss shall be set against any refund due to you).

1.16 We will usually refund any money received from you using the same method originally used by you to pay for your purchase.
