4. OUR CONTRACT WITH YOU

4.1 How we will accept your order. Our acceptance of your order for goods will take place when we email you to accept it (via Order Confirmation e-mail), at which point a contract will come into existence between you and us.

4.2 If we cannot accept your order. If we are unable to accept your order, we will inform you of this in writing and will not charge you for the goods. This might be because the goods are out of stock, because of unexpected limits on our resources which we could not reasonably plan for, because we have identified an error in the price or description of the goods or because we are unable to meet a delivery deadline you have specified.

4.3 Your order number. We will assign an order number to your order and tell you what it is when we accept your order. It will help us if you can tell us the order number whenever you contact us about your order.

4.4 We only sell to the UK. Our website is solely for the promotion of goods in the UK. Unfortunately, we do not accept orders from outside the UK. 

5. OUR GOODS

5.1 Goods may vary slightly from their pictures. The images of the goods on our website are for illustrative purposes only. Although we have made every effort to display the colours accurately, we cannot guarantee that a device's display of the colours accurately reflects the colour of the goods. Your goods may vary slightly from those images. 

5.2 Packaging may vary. The packaging of the goods may vary from that shown in images on our website.

6. PRICE AND PAYMENT

6.1 Where to find the price for the goods. The price of the goods (which includes VAT) will be the price indicated on the order pages when you placed your order. We take all reasonable care to ensure that the price of the goods advised to you is correct. However please see clause 6.2 for what happens if we discover an error in the price of the goods you order.

6.2 What happens if we got the price wrong. It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the goods we sell may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices before accepting your order so that, where the goods’ correct price at your order date is less than our stated price at your order date, we will charge the lower amount. If the goods’ correct price at your order date is higher than the price stated to you, we will contact you for your instructions before we accept your order. If we accept and process your order where a pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could reasonably have been recognised by you as a mispricing, we may end the contract, refund you any sums you have paid and terminate the contract between us.

6.3 How you must pay. We only accept payment for goods by way of Debit or Credit Card and Direct Debit from the details that you provided when making your application with us.

6.4 When you must pay. You must pay for the goods in 4 equal amounts over 4 weeks. The initial first payment will be selectable by you at the time you place your order. The remaining 3 amounts will be taken on a weekly basis from the Debit or Credit Card or Direct Debit details that you provided when making your application with us. 

7. PROVIDING THE GOODS

7.1 Delivery costs. The costs of delivery will be as displayed to you on our website during the checkout process.

7.2 When we will provide the goods. Your goods will be dispatched 2-3 business days after we have received your initial first payment as chosen by you during the ordering process. 

7.3 We are not responsible for delays outside our control. If our supply of the goods is delayed by an event outside our control then we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and we will take steps to minimise the effect of the delay. Provided we do this we will not be liable for delays caused by the event, but if there is a risk of substantial delay you may contact us to end the contract and receive a refund for any goods you have paid for but not received.

7.4 If you are not at home when the goods are delivered. If no one is available at your address to take delivery and the goods, we will leave you a note informing you of how to rearrange delivery or collect the goods from a local depot.

7.5 If you do not re-arrange delivery. If you do not collect the goods from us as arranged or if, after a failed delivery to you, you do not re-arrange delivery or collect them from a delivery depot we will contact you for further instructions and may charge you for storage costs and any further delivery costs. If, despite our reasonable efforts, we are unable to contact you or re-arrange delivery or collection we may end the contract with you.

7.6 When you become responsible for the goods. The goods will be your responsibility from the time the goods are delivered to the address you gave us.

7.7 When you own goods. The ownership of the goods will transfer to you once we have received the initial payment for the goods.

7.8 What will happen if you do not give required information to us. We may need certain information from you so that we can supply the goods to you, including, for example, your name, address and other contact details. This information will be requested at the time you place your order. If you give us incomplete or incorrect information, we may either end the contract (and clause 9.2 will apply) or make an additional charge of a reasonable sum to compensate us for any extra work that is required as a result. We will not be responsible for supplying the goods late if this is caused by you not giving us complete and correct information we need within a reasonable time of us asking for it.

7.9 Reasons we may suspend the supply of goods to you. We may have to suspend the supply of the goods to you:

7.9.1 to deal with technical problems or make minor technical changes; or

11.1 We are responsible to you for foreseeable loss and damage caused by us.

13. OTHER IMPORTANT TERMS

13.1 We may transfer this agreement to someone else. We may transfer our rights and obligations under these terms to another organisation. We will contact you to let you know in writing if we plan to do this.

13.2 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.

13.3 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. Neither of us will need to get the agreement of any other person in order to end the contract or make any changes to these terms and conditions.

13.4 If a court finds part of this contract illegal, the rest will continue in force. Each of the clauses of these terms and conditions operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining clauses will remain in full force and effect.

13.5 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 and conditions, 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 goods, we can still require you to make the payment at a later date.

13.6 Which laws apply to this contract and where you may bring legal proceedings. These terms and conditions are governed by English law and you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the goods in the English courts. If you live in Scotland you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the goods in either the Scottish or the English courts. If you live in Northern Ireland you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the goods in either the Northern Irish or the English courts.

13.7 We may propose significant changes to the Agreement at any time and will notify You in advance of the same in writing. You will have 30 days to decide whether or not to continue with the Agreement, with the proposed significant changes, from the date on which We notify You of the same. If You do not agree with the changes You must confirm the same to Us in writing and the Agreement will be terminated upon the substantial changes taking effect at the end of the 30 day period set out above. If You continue with the Agreement, and We do not hear otherwise from You, then the significant changes We have proposed shall be deemed to have been accepted and shall become binding on You at the end of the 30 day period set out above and the Agreement shall continue on that basis.

13.8 We reserve the right to perform a soft search for identity verification purposes and fraud prevention

13.9 It is at our discretion to enforce that if you should place any further orders and make payment whilst having a previous account which is in arrears, that any payments made on a new order will be allocated to that of the outstanding account, and no goods shall be dispatched on a new order as the previous account in arrears supersedes that of the new order.

14. ZERO TOLERANCE OF UNACCEPTABLE BEHAVIOUR

14.1 Violence, aggression, threatening behaviour or abuse whether written (including email and text or other message communication) verbal, physical, psychological, online on social media or in any other form and whether actual threatened or perceived towards Our employees, consultants, agents, representatives or property (Unacceptable Behaviour) will not be tolerated.
