3.2 You are at least 18 years old;
3.3 You are resident in one of the Serviced Countries; and
3.4 You are accessing our site from that country.
4 How the contract is formed between you and us
4.1 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 dispatched (the Dispatch Confirmation). The contract between us (Contract) will only be formed when we send you the Dispatch Confirmation.
4.2 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.
5 Consumer rights
5.1 If you are contracting as a consumer, you may cancel a Contract at any time within 14 working days, beginning on the day after you received the products. In this case, you will receive a full refund of the price paid for the products and any delivery charge paid in accordance with our refunds policy (set out in clause 10, see below).
5.2 To cancel a Contract, you must inform us in writing. You must also return the product(s) to us immediately, in the same condition in which you received them and at your own cost and risk. You have a legal obligation to take reasonable care of the products while they are in your possession. If you fail to comply with this obligation, we may have a right of action against you for compensation.
5.3 Details of this statutory right, and an explanation of how to exercise it, are provided in the Dispatch Confirmation. This provision does not affect your statutory rights.
6 Availability and delivery
Your order will be fulfilled by the delivery date set out in the Dispatch Confirmation or, if no delivery date is specified, within a reasonable time from the date of the Dispatch Confirmation, unless there are exceptional circumstances. "Same Day Dispatch" refers to same working day dispatch on orders placed before 4pm. "Next Working Day Delivery" refers to Monday to Friday.
7 Risk and title
7.1 The products will be at your risk from the time of delivery.
7.2 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.
8 Price and payment
8.1 The price of any products will be as quoted on our site from time to time, except in cases of obvious error.
8.2 These prices are inclusive of VAT and are current at the time of publishing.
8.3 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.
8.4 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 show incorrect price or availability information. 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.
8.5 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 unmistakeable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as a mis-price.
8.6 Payment for all products must be by our prescribed payment methods. We accept payment with Mastercard, Visa, PayPal, Amazon Pay, Google Pay and Apple Pay. You will be charged for your order at the time it is placed.
9 Delivery
9.1 Delivery is free of charge on all orders within the UK, except where you have opted to upgrade the delivery service. For delivery information on orders outside of the UK please refer to our our Delivery Information page.
9.2 All orders received by 5pm are dispatched, when possible, the same day via the free service offered, unless you have chosen an alternative delivery method at checkout, or the order volume/value is of a quantity which we would deem it necessary to dispatch the order to you via a courier service. Please see our Delivery Guide for further information.
9.3 Time for delivery shall not be of the essence. Whilst we shall use reasonable endeavours to deliver by the date specified we shall be under no liability whatsoever for any delay in delivery. We will take reasonable steps to notify you within 14 days of order confirmation if the goods will not be shipped as ordered.
10 Our refunds policy
10.1 When you return a product to us:
10.1.1 because you have cancelled the Contract between us within the 14-day cooling-off period (see clause 6.1), we will process the refund due to you as soon as possible and, in any case, within 30 days of the day you have given notice of your cancellation. In this case, we will refund the price of the product in full, including any standard cost incurred, where applicable, of sending the item to you. If you opted to upgrade the postage method for a fee, we are under no obligation to refund this cost where this service has been provided satisfactorily. The cost of returning the item to us when cancelling the contract under the cooling-off period will be your responsibility.
10.1.2 because you no longer require unopened and unused goods outside of the 14-day cooling-off period (see clause 6.1), we will process any account credit or refund due to you as soon as possible and, in any case, within 30 days of the returned product being received in our warehouse. In this case, we will refund the price of the product in full following successful inspection of the product. However, you will be responsible for the cost of returning the item to us, and we reserve the right to charge a restocking fee of no more than 10% of the original purchase cost.
10.1.3 for any other reason (for instance, because you have notified us in accordance with paragraph 20 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 30 days of the day we confirmed to you via e-mail that you were entitled to a refund for the defective product. Products returned by you within 12 months from purchase because of a defect will be refunded in full (or replaced). Any original delivery fees paid for an enhanced service (such as Next Day Delivery) will not be refunded as that service has been fulfilled. Any statutory delivery charges (if we charged a flat fee for all deliveries) would be refunded along with the product cost.
10.2 We will usually refund any money received from you using the same method originally used by you to pay for your purchase.
