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. OUR STATUS

5.1 Please note that in some cases, we accept orders as agents on behalf of third party sellers. The resulting legal contract is between you and that third party seller, and is subject to the terms and conditions of that third party seller, which they will advise you of directly. You should carefully review their terms and conditions applying to the transaction.

5.2 We may also provide links on our site to the websites of other companies, whether affiliated with us or not. We cannot give any undertaking, that products you purchase from third party sellers through our site, or from companies to whose website we have provided a link on our site, will be of satisfactory quality, and any such warranties are DISCLAIMED by us absolutely. This DISCLAIMER does not affect your statutory rights against the third party seller. We will notify you when a third party is involved in a transaction, and we may disclose your customer information related to that transaction to the third party seller.

6. CONSUMER RIGHTS

6.1 If you are contracting as a consumer, you may cancel a Contract at any time within fourteen calendar 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 in accordance with our refunds policy (set out in clause 10 below), please be aware that any delivery surcharges or extra services requested are non-refundable.

6.2 To cancel a Contract, you must inform us in writing. You must also return the Product(s) to us within fourteen calendar days, 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.

6.3 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.

6.3 Should an item become faulty during its guarantee period please contact us using the Contact Us page. Please be sure to include a valid/working email address for our technical support team to respond to you at. We may need to pass on your information to the manufacturers to help us resolve the issue, therefore all communications must be done in writing.

7. AVAILABILITY AND DELIVERY

7.1 Upon receiving the products please be sure to check them prior to signing or if someone is accepting the products on your behalf, please make sure they are aware they must check them prior to signing. By signing for the products, you are agreeing that you accept delivery of them and that you are happy with the condition of the Products upon receipt. If you receive the products and they are damaged please sign for them as "Damaged". We understand that sometimes things cannot go to plan, and this being the case we are pleased to offer 24 hours from the point of delivery to report any damage to us by email. WE MUST BE NOTIFIED WITHIN THIS TIME FRAME. Any claims made after this time for damage will not be processed / accepted.

7.2 All standard deliveries (excluding pallet deliveries) are made using third party companies. These companies will attempt to deliver to your address as stated on your order. If no-one is available at your address the driver may attempt (at his/her discretion) to leave the parcel with a neighbour if available or in a safe location. If either are done by the driver, they will normally leave a card at your address stating where the delivery was left. They will also take a photo or geolocations to show exactly where the goods were left. You may therefore need to go and retrieve your parcel from the place that it has been left. If this is not acceptable you must inform us prior to ordering through our site as ordering confirms your acceptance of this. Photos/geolocations will act as proof of a successfully completed delivery if available. For further information please contact our customer service team.

7.3 If after two failed attempts of delivery the driver has been unable to complete the delivery the goods will be returned to the local depot where it can be collected. Should another delivery attempt be required there will be a charge applicable to yourself. After 5 working days of the delivery being held at the depot, if it has not been collected by yourself, it will be automatically and without notice returned to our depot. This return delivery would be chargeable to yourself as you are returning the item for a refund and will need paying prior to the goods being dispatched to you again. Or the cost will be taken from any refund that may be due.

7.4 Some items are delivered on a wooden pallet. These items will be left on the pallet upon delivery and it is the customer’s responsibility to dispose of the pallet after delivery has taken place. The delivery company is not able to remove the pallet on your behalf. It would be prudent to keep hold of the pallet initially in case you wish to return your goods, as it would be prohibitively expensive for us to deliver a replacement pallet to you.

7.5 Pallet deliveries are made using a 7.5T vehicle (roughly 2.5m in width and 6.3m in length). It is the responsibility of the customer to advise if there are any access restrictions or parking restrictions at the delivery address. Should no parking be available, or a road is inaccessible the delivery driver will have to fail the delivery and either a redelivery arranged (only available if the initial issue has been resolved) but this is chargeable (price available upon request). Alternatively, goods can be collected from the delivery companies nearest depot at no extra cost within 7 days of the delivery being attempted.

7.6 Never book any tradesmen until you have received and checked your delivery for damage. No liability will be taken due to failed deliveries or damaged goods. Only book a tradesman once you have received and checked your order for damage. All damage claims must be reported via email within 24 hours of delivery being made.

7.7 Offers of free delivery are for mainland UK only and exclude certain postcode areas deemed surcharge zones by the courier. Upon entering your postal address in the checkout process, you will be notified of any additional fees prior to entering your payment details. You are not obligated to proceed any further if you are unhappy with the final delivery cost.

8. RISK AND TITLE

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

8.2 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, and accept your order as outlined in clause 4.1

9. PRICE AND PAYMENT

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

9.2 Please note that VAT is automatically calculated, charged and included in all orders at the current rate of 20%. This includes domestic deliveries, deliveries to the EU and also deliveries outside the EU including the Channel Islands. In turn where non-domestic orders/deliveries are completed and a Zero-VAT invoice is required an administration fee will be requested by us to cover the work required to carry out the requested amendments. This is currently charged at £5 or 5% whichever is the greater.

9.3 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.

9.4 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 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.

9.5 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 mispricing.

9.6 We accept payment with MasterCard, VISA, VISA Debit, VISA Electron, Maestro and Solo via a secure portal. We may from time to time add additional payment methods to the checkout process.

10. OUR REFUNDS POLICY

In this case, we will refund the price of the Product in full, including the cost of sending the item to you. However, you will be responsible for the cost of returning the item to us.

If you return a Product that, having been fully inspected by us, we do not deem to be faulty, you will be responsible for our reasonable costs regarding the collection, inspection and return of the Product to you.

We will usually process any 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 because of a defect, and for which we send you written confirmation that we accept there is a defect, will be refunded, repaired or replaced in full, including a refund of the delivery charges for sending the item to you and the cost incurred by you in returning the item to us.

Failure to pay such costs will entitle us to retain the Product without any liability to you. We will usually process any refund due to you as soon as possible. Products returned by you because of a defect, and for which we send you written confirmation that we accept there is a defect, will be refunded in full, repaired or replaced at our discretion save for any costs incurred by you in returning the Products and our costs for re-delivery of the Product.
