Terms & conditions

Please read the following important terms and conditions before you buy anything on our website and check that they contain everything which you want and nothing that you are not willing to agree to.


SUMMARY OF SOME OF YOUR KEY RIGHTS

By law, the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013, SI 2013/3134 say that we must give you certain key information before a legally binding contract between you and us is made (see below). We will give you this information in a clear and understandable way. Some of this information is likely to be obvious from the context. Some of this information is also set out in this contract, such as information on our complaint handling policy.

The Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 say that up to 14 days after receiving your goods, in most cases, you can change your mind and get a full refund.

The Consumer Rights Act 2015 says goods must be as described, fit for purpose and of satisfactory quality. During the expected lifespan of your product you’re entitled to the following:

  • up to 30 days: if your goods are faulty, then you can get a refund;

  • up to six months: if they can’t be repaired or replaced, then you’re entitled to a full refund, in most cases;

  • up to six years: if the goods do not last a reasonable length of time, you may be entitled to some money back.

This is a summary of some of your key rights. For detailed information from Citizens Advice please visit www.citizensadvice.org.uk or call 03454 04 05 06.

The information in this summary box summarises some of your key rights. It is not intended to replace the contract below which you should read carefully.

Introduction

If you buy goods on our site you agree to be legally bound by this contract.

This contract is only available in English. No other languages will apply to this contract.

When buying any goods you also agree to be legally bound by:

  • our website terms and conditions and any documents referred to in them;

  • extra terms which may add to, or replace some of, this contract. This may happen for security, legal or regulatory reasons. We will contact you to let you know if we intend to do this by giving you one month’s notice. You can end this contract at any time by giving one month’s notice if we tell you extra terms apply; and

Information we give you

By law, the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 say that we must give you certain key information before a legally binding contract between you and us is made. If you want to see this key information, please:

  • read the acknowledgement email (see clause 4.2.1); or

  • contact us using the contact details at the top of this page.

The key information we give you by law forms part of this contract (as though it is set out in full here).

If we have to change any key information once a legally binding contract between you and us is made, we can only do this if you agree to it.


Your privacy and personal information

Our Privacy Policy is available at here.

Your privacy and personal information are important to us. Any personal information that you provide to us will be dealt with in line with our Privacy Policy, which explains what personal information we collect from you, how and why we collect, store, use and share such information, your rights in relation to your personal information and how to contact us and supervisory authorities if you have a query or complaint about the use of your personal information.


Ordering goods from us

Below, we set out how a legally binding contract between you and us is made.

You place an order on the site by following the instructions on our website. Please read and check your order carefully before submitting it. However, if you need to correct any errors you can do so before submitting it to us.

When you place your order at the end of the online checkout process (ie. when you click on the ‘pay now’ button), we will acknowledge it by email. This acknowledgement does not, however, mean that your order has been accepted.

We may contact you to say that we do not accept your order. This is typically for the following reasons:

  • the goods are unavailable;

  • we cannot authorise your payment;

  • you are not allowed to buy the goods from us;

  • we are not allowed to sell the goods to you;

  • you have ordered too many goods; or

  • there has been a mistake on the pricing or description of the goods.

We will only accept your order when we email you to confirm this.  At this point:

  • a legally binding contract will be in place between you and us; and

  • we will dispatch the goods to you.

If you are under the age of 18 you may not buy any goods from the site. 


Right to cancel this contract

You have the right to cancel this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

The cancellation period will expire after 14 days from the day after the day you (or someone you nominate) receives the goods unless:

  • Your goods are split into several deliveries over different days. In this case you have until 14 days after the day you (or someone you nominate) receives the last delivery to change your mind about the goods; or

  • Your goods are for regular delivery over a set period (for example monthly for 12 months). In this case you have until 14 days after the day you (or someone you nominate) receives the first delivery of the goods

To exercise the right to cancel, you must inform us of your decision to cancel this contract by a clear statement (eg a letter sent by post or email). You can use the model cancellation form set out in the box below, but it is not obligatory.

Cancellation form

I/We [*] hereby give notice that I/We [*] cancel my/our [*] contract of sale of the following goods [*],

Ordered on [*],

Name of consumer(s),

Address of consumer(s),

Signature of consumer(s) (only if this form is notified on paper),

To meet the cancellation deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right to cancel before the cancellation period has expired.


Effects of cancellation

If you cancel this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, excluding the costs of delivery.

We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.

We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than:

  • 14 days after the day we received back from you any goods supplied; or

  • (if earlier) 14 days after the day you provide evidence that you have returned the goods; or

  • if there were no goods supplied, 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to cancel this contract.

We will make the reimbursement 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 have received goods:

  • you shall send back the goods or hand them over to us without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your cancellation from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired;

  • you are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.


Delivery

We use various couriers to deliver our goods. If you want to see your delivery options, visit our “Your Questions” web page before you place your order.

The estimated date and time window for delivery of the goods is set out in the Confirmation Email (see clause 4.2.3).

If something happens which:

  • is outside of our control; and

  • affects the estimated date of delivery;

we will let you have a revised estimated date for delivery of the goods.

Delivery of the goods will take place when we deliver them to the address that you gave to us.

Unless you and we agree otherwise, if we cannot deliver your goods within 30 days, we will:

  • let you know;

  • cancel your order; and

  • give you a refund.

If nobody is available to take delivery, please contact us using the details on the site’s Contact page.

You are responsible for the goods when delivery has taken place. In other words, the risk in the goods passes to you when you take possession of the goods.

We may deliver your goods in instalments.


Payment

We accept the following credit cards and debit cards: Visa (credit and debit cards), Mastercard (credit and debit cards) and American Express.

We will do all that we reasonably can to ensure that all of the information you give us when paying for the goods is secure by using an encrypted secure payment mechanism. However, in the absence of negligence on our part, any failure by us to comply with this contract or our Privacy Policy (see clause 3) or breach by us of our duties under applicable laws we will not be legally responsible to you for any loss that you may suffer if a third party gains unauthorised access to any information that you give us.

Your credit card or debit card will only be charged when the goods are dispatched.

All payments by credit card or debit card need to be authorised by the relevant card issuer. We may also need to use extra security steps via:

If your payment is not received by us and you have already received the goods, you:

  • must pay for such goods within 7 days; or

  • must return them to us as soon as possible. If so, you must keep the goods in your possession, take reasonable care of them (including ensuring that you follow any instructions or manuals given with the goods) and not use them before you return them to us.

If you do not return any goods (such as where you have not paid for them) we may collect the goods from you at your expense. We will try to contact you to let you know if we intend to do this.

Nothing in this clause affects your legal rights to cancel the contract during the ‘cooling off’ period under clauses 5 and 6.

The price of the goods:

  • is in pounds sterling (£)(GBP);

We must provide you with goods that comply with your legal rights.

  • at discount prices;

  • as remnants; or
