ORDERS
Your order is an offer to acquire a right to buy and receive delivery of such products from us. It is your responsibility to ensure that such order is correct. Your request must comply with the minimum quantities as detailed on the website to qualify for the discount level applicable. On acceptance of your request and confirmation to our satisfaction of your payment (see below), your account will be credited with the right to receive delivery of products so ordered. You may then request delivery of products from your account as detailed on the relevant area of the website. Our contract of sale is effective on receipt of your request for delivery and our dispatch of your requested products.
PAYMENT
Payment is in advance by the means stated on the website. The price for the rights and other relevant terms related to your order is as stated on the website at the time you confirm your order. You may then exercise your right to receive your goods by requesting delivery on terms detailed on the site.
CANCELLATION
As an individual consumer you may cancel your order within (7) days of placing it and paying for it. You must notify us via any relevant method specified in the Distance Selling Regulations in which case we will cancel your rights flowing from that order and refund all money paid by the same method that such payment was made, within 14 days of cancellation.
CONTRACT & RISK
There will be no binding contract of sale between us until we dispatch the goods to you in response to a delivery request on the website. Until then we may decline to supply the goods to you without giving a reason. Nothing else that may be communicated or said to you will amount to a contract of sale. If any goods are unavailable, we will notify you as soon as possible and either offer a mutually acceptable replacement or a full refund of the actual relevant price paid for the right related to that product.
Ownership of the goods will pass to you on dispatch. We will arrange delivery with a third-party courier and provide you with tracking details. An extra delivery charge may be payable if there is no one present to accept delivery and you haven’t provided a reasonable alternative.
Although ownership passes on dispatch, risk of damage or loss passes to you on delivery. ln the event of loss or damage after dispatch by any cause whatsoever, we will replace and deliver the goods within areas on able time.
Nothing in this agreement limits our liability for anything which may not legally be excluded or limited. You must give us a reasonable opportunity to remedy any other matter for which we may be liable. We are not responsible for loss or damage where:
• there is no breach of legal duty of care by us or any of our employees or agents;
• such loss is not reasonably foreseeable by both parties, or is caused by you, for example, non-compliance; and
• such loss or damage is to a business.
