2. Acceptance of Terms
By placing an order with us, you agree to be bound by these Terms & Conditions.
These Terms do not affect your statutory rights under UK law.
3. Contract Formation
When you place an order, you will receive an email acknowledging receipt of your order. This does not mean your order has been accepted.
A contract between you and us is formed only when:
- We confirm acceptance of your order, and
- The goods are dispatched or made available for collection
We reserve the right to decline or cancel any order prior to dispatch, including where:
- Goods are unavailable
- There is a pricing or product description error
- Fraudulent or suspicious activity is suspected
If we cancel your order after payment has been taken, you will receive a full refund.
4. Pricing and Payment
All prices are shown in GBP and include VAT where applicable, unless otherwise stated.
We take reasonable care to ensure pricing is accurate. However, errors may occur. If we discover an error after your order is placed, we will:
- Inform you as soon as possible, and
- Give you the option to reconfirm or cancel your order
Payment is taken at the time of order or at dispatch, depending on the payment method used.
We use secure third-party payment processors and do not store full card details.
5. Delivery
We aim to deliver within the estimated timeframes shown at checkout. These timeframes are estimates and not guaranteed.
We are not responsible for delays outside our reasonable control, including supplier delays, courier delays, or events described in Clause 18.
Risk in the goods passes to you when the goods are delivered to the address you provided, or collected by you or a person identified by you.
Ownership of the goods passes to you only once full payment has been received.
6. Click & Collect
Where collection is offered, we recommend that goods are inspected at the point of collection where reasonably possible.
Once goods have been collected, responsibility for them passes to you.
7. Consumer Cancellation Rights (Distance Selling)
If you purchase online or by phone, you have the right to cancel your order within 14 days of receiving the goods, without giving any reason.
To exercise this right, you must inform us clearly (email is sufficient).
You then have a further 14 days to return the goods to us.
You are responsible for the cost of returning the goods unless they are faulty or misdescribed.
We will refund you:
- The cost of the goods, and
- The standard delivery cost (if applicable)
Refunds will be made within 14 days of receiving the returned goods or proof of return, whichever is earlier.
8. Returns and Refunds
You may inspect goods as you would in a physical store.
You are responsible for any reduction in value resulting from handling beyond what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics, and functioning of the goods.
We may reduce your refund if the goods show signs of excessive handling or damage not caused by us.
This does not affect your statutory rights.
9. Faulty or Misdescribed Goods
Under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, goods must be:
- Of satisfactory quality
- Fit for purpose
- As described
If goods are faulty, you are entitled to:
- A full refund within 30 days of delivery, or
- A repair or replacement after 30 days, where appropriate
