Section B: Terms of Sale

6. OUR AGREEMENT FOR THE SALE OF GOODS AND THE ORDERING PROCESS

6.1 The Website displays Goods which are advertised for sale and gives information about them. By advertising Goods on the Website, We are inviting You to place an Order with Us. If You place an Order, We are not obliged to accept that Order and the Contract between Us will only be formed if and when We accept Your Order. You may include any number of items within a single Order, subject to any restrictions set out in these Terms and each Order which You place will be a separate Contract between Us. We reserve the right to refuse to supply Goods to any person.

6.2 Any terms and conditions appearing or referred to in the Order or otherwise stipulated by You shall have no effect. Any variation of the Contract must be confirmed in writing by Us.

6.3 The following paragraphs explain the process which You will need to go through to place an Order and how the Contract for the sale of Goods between us will be formed. This section also explains important information about payment and delivery.

Step 1 – Choosing your Goods

You can select a product for purchase by clicking on the item which You are interested in and then clicking on “Add to Bag”.

Step 2 –Reviewing Your Bag

You can review the products which You have added to Your bag. You can change the contents of Your bag by amending the quantity of Goods You want to order (subject to a maximum of two per item, per size), removing any unwanted items by clicking ‘Remove’ and viewing the bag total value. You can also enter any promotional code which You may have. Entering a valid promotional code and clicking ‘Redeem’ will update the bag total. You can then continue shopping and adding to Your bag if You wish or if You don’t want to buy anything else, go straight to the next step.

Step 3 – Going to Checkout

Once You have finished shopping, You can proceed to Checkout by clicking on “Checkout Now” or by hovering over the bag icon in the top right-hand corner of the page and then clicking “Checkout”.

Step 4 – Completing the Address Details

You must then complete Your billing address. This is the address to which Your credit or debit card statements are normally sent. If You would like Your Goods to be delivered to a different address, You can tell Us by completing the delivery address section. Additional security checks may apply if an address other than the billing address is selected for delivery.

Step 5 – Your Order Summary and Payment Information

You will then see Your Order summary page. This includes details of the Goods in Your Order and Your billing and delivery address. You should check the details at this stage very carefully as this is the final stage in the Order process at which You can correct any mistakes or change the Goods which You want to Order. If You decide that You want to change something, You can correct errors in address details by clicking on “Edit Address”, add products to Your Order by clicking on “Continue Shopping” or remove items by clicking on “Bag”. You will also be asked to choose Your payment method and to add Your payment card details. Please check this information very carefully.

Step 7 – Placing Your Order

You will be asked to confirm that You have read the Terms and Conditions. You will then be asked to confirm all Your details and pay by clicking on “Confirm and Pay”. At this point Your details will be submitted to Us.

Step 8 – Order Confirmation

Once We have received confirmation that Your payment has been authorised, a screen will appear, thanking You for Your Order. You will be given an Order reference and an e-mail will be sent to You to acknowledge Your Order. It will confirm the Goods, price and any delivery charge. Print a copy of the Order acknowledgement and e-mail and keep them for Your records.

6.4 We may refuse Your Order if we decide it is reasonable to do so which may include where:

6.4.1 We are unable to obtain authorised payment or the payment process is incomplete; or

6.4.2 We identify a product or pricing error on the Website; or

6.4.3 You fail to meet any criteria for eligibility of purchase which We impose from time to time; or

6.4.4 You fail to submit all necessary and relevant details to allow Us to fulfil the Order; or

6.4.5 Goods are unavailable or out of stock.

6.5 We may contact You by telephone or email to verify details before We are able to process and dispatch Your Order or We may be unable to accept it. For example, We may do this if Your Order is of particularly high value.

7. PRICE AND PAYMENT

7.1 Prices and delivery charges are as published on the Website when We accept Your Order. Prices do not include VAT and are in Sterling (GBP). Delivery charges are shown separately if applicable.

7.2 We may amend prices at any time.  Where there is a difference between a price at the time the Order is made and when it is accepted, We will inform You by email or telephone and ask You if You wish to proceed.  If you decline and for any reason payment has already been taken, it will be re-credited to Your credit or debit account.

7.3 Offers and promotions on the Website are subject to availability and We may change or withdraw them at any time and without notice. Nothing shall oblige Us to maintain offers or promotions for any period. Additional terms may apply, details of which will be displayed.

7.4 We must receive payment for the Goods in full before they are dispatched.

7.5 We accept payment via PayPal and most major credit and debit cards including Visa, MasterCard, Switch, Maestro and American Express. You must only use a card if You are the named cardholder. By placing an Order, You confirm that You are the authorised cardholder. All credit and charge card holders are subject to validation and security checks as well as authorisation by the card issuer and any additional terms imposed by the issuer. If the issuer does not authorise payment, We will not accept Your Order and will not be liable for any delay or non-delivery. Should an order need to be refunded due to time constraints a standard charge of 3% will be levied to cover administration fees.

7.6 If We do not have sufficient stock of Goods, We will notify You by e-mail or telephone and Your credit or debit card transaction will be cancelled so that You will not be charged. We will do this as soon as possible and by no later than 30 (thirty) days from the due delivery date. We will not be responsible for any compensation if Goods which You order are not available for any reason.

7.7 We will validate the names, addresses and other details supplied by You against commercially available records (including Electoral Roll data and credit reference services). We may also use third parties to do this. Information which You provide to Us may be disclosed to a registered credit reference agency which may keep a record of the information. By ordering from Us You agree to such checks. Please refer also to Our Privacy Policy. These measures are taken to protect You, to ensure Your shopping experience with Us is as secure as possible.

This is subject to You returning the Goods to Us within a period of 14 (fourteen) days from delivery where you believe they are faulty for any reason. This is known as the “Warranty Period”.

Any refund will also include any delivery charges which You have paid and Your cost of returning the Goods to Us. If We do not find any fault or defect then Your cancellation and refund rights are limited and we will return the good to you. this does not affect your statutory rights.

The Buyer’s alterations and additional proofs necessitated thereby shall be charged extra.
