4. Our contract with you

4.1 Your order. The order you place via our website constitutes an offer to purchase the Products in accordance with these Terms and Conditions. Please read and check your order carefully before placing it as you are responsible for making sure your order is correct. All orders are subject to availability and acceptance by us.

4.2 After placing your order we will email you to confirm that we have received your order. This does not mean that your offer has been accepted.

4.3 How we will accept your order. Unless we have notified you that we cannot accept your order (or offer to purchase the Products) (see clause 4.4. below) our acceptance of your order will take place when:

(a) we have received full payment for the Products and;

(b) the Products have been dispatched to you and we have sent you a dispatch confirmation in writing (‘Dispatch Confirmation’),

at which point a contract will come into existence between you and us.

4.4 If we cannot accept your order. Sometimes we might not be able to accept your order this might be because the Products are unexpectedly out of stock, because you are located outside of the UK, because we have identified an error in the price or description of the Products, because we are unable to meet a delivery deadline you have specified or for another reason. If we are unable to accept your order, we will let you know as soon as possible and will refund any sums you have paid.

12. Our responsibility for loss or damage suffered by you

12.1 We are responsible to you for foreseeable loss and damage caused by us. If we fail to comply with these Terms and Conditions, we are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breaking this contract or our failing to use reasonable care and skill, but we are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable. Loss or damage is foreseeable if either it is obvious that it will happen or if, at the time the contract was made, both we and you knew it might happen, for example, if you discussed it with us during the sales process.

12.2 We are not liable for business losses. We only supply the Products for domestic and private use. If you use the Products for any commercial, business or re-sale purpose we will have no liability to you for any loss of profit, loss of business, loss of anticipated savings, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity.

12.3 We are not liable for avoidable losses. Something you could have avoided by taking reasonable action, including following our reasonable instructions for use.

12.4 We do not exclude or limit in any way our liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so. This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence; for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.

12.5 Events outside our control. We will not be liable or responsible for any failure to perform, or delay in performance of, any of our obligations under our contract with you that is caused by an event outside our control. An event outside our control means any act, event, omission or accident beyond our reasonable control. If an event outside our control takes place that affects the performance of our obligations under our contract with you, we will contact you as soon as reasonably possible to notify you and our obligations under the contract will be suspended and the time for performance of our obligations will be extended for the duration of the event outside our control. If our supply of the Products is delayed by an event outside our control then we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and do what we can to reduce the delay. Provided we do this we won’t compensate you for the delay but if there is a risk of substantial delay you may contact us to cancel your order and receive a refund for any Products you have paid for but not received, less reasonable costs we have already incurred.

13. How we may use your personal information

We will respond to any complaint as quicky as possible and use our best efforts to find a satisfactory solution for you.

Alternative Dispute Resolution

14.2 Alternative dispute resolution is a process where an independent body considers the facts of a dispute and seeks to resolve it, without you having to go to court. If you are not happy with how we have handled any complaint, disputes may be submitted for online resolution to the European Commission Online Dispute Resolution platform, which you can find here https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/.

15. Other important terms

15.1 We may transfer this agreement to someone else. We may transfer our rights and obligations under these terms to another organisation. We will tell you in writing if this happens and we will ensure that the transfer will not affect your rights under the contract.

15.2 You need our consent to transfer your rights to someone else. You may only transfer your rights or your obligations under these terms to another person if we agree to this in writing.

15.3 Nobody else has any rights under this contract. This contract is between you and us. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms.

15.4 If a court finds part of this contract illegal, the rest will still apply. Each of the paragraphs of these terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful or unenforceable, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.

15.5 Even if we delay in enforcing this contract, we can still enforce it later. If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking this contract, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date. For example, if you miss a payment and we do not chase you but we continue to provide the Products, we can still require you to make the payment at a later date.

15.6 Which laws apply to this contract and where you may bring legal proceedings. These terms and conditions and any claim or dispute arising in relation to these terms are governed by English law. If you are a consumer, this means our contract with you for the purchase of Products and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with it will be governed by English law, except that if you are not resident in England then English law shall apply only to the extent that it does not override any mandatory laws of the country in which you have your usual place of residence.

15.7 In respect of any claim or dispute arising in relation to our contract with you, if you are a consumer you and we agree that that the courts of England and Wales shall have non-exclusive jurisdiction to settle any such claim or dispute, but nothing in this clause shall limit your legal rights to bring an action against us or to require proceedings to take place in the country in which you have your usual place of residence. For example if you live in Scotland you can bring legal proceedings in either the Scottish or the English courts.

15.8 If you are not a consumer, you and we agree that the courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any such claim or dispute.
