If you wish to make a change to the product(s) you have ordered (i.e. the quantity or type of product(s)) before we have arranged for the product(s) to be delivered, please contact us. We will let you know if the change is possible. If it is possible, we will let you know about any changes to the price of the product(s), the timing of supply or anything else which might be different as a result of your requested change and ask you to confirm whether you wish to go ahead with the change.

7.3 We are not responsible for delays 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 we will take steps to minimise the effect of the delay.

If you are not present for delivery, after the failed delivery 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 and clause 10.2 below will apply.

7.6  Your legal rights if we deliver products late after agreeing an essential delivery time with you. You have legal rights if we deliver any products late where we have agreed with you that delivery is essential at certain times or we have simply refused to deliver without good reason. If, in these circumstances, we miss the essential agreed delivery deadline or window for any products then you may treat the contract as at an end straight away. We will be happy to discuss with you whether a delivery time or date is essential.

7.7  Setting a new deadline for delivery. If you do not wish to treat the contract as at an end straight away in the circumstances referred to in 7.6 above, or do not have the right to do so under clause 7.6 we can agree with you a revised date for delivery of the product(s) in writing.

7.8  Ending the contract for late delivery. If you do choose to treat the contract as at an end for late delivery under clause 7.6 (where an essential delivery time/date is agreed by us), you can cancel your order for any of the product(s) or reject product(s) that have been delivered. If you wish, you can reject or cancel the order for some of those products (not all of them), unless splitting them up would significantly reduce their value. After that we will refund any sums you have paid to us for the cancelled products and their delivery. If the products have been delivered to you, you must allow us to collect them from you. We will pay the costs of collection. In the event either of cancellation prior to delivery or afterwards, please simply click on Contact Us, choose the cancellation/returns option and complete the online form.  

7.9  When you become responsible for the products. A product will be your responsibility from the time we deliver the product to the address you gave us at the time of the order.

7.10 When you own products. You own a product once we have received payment in full.

7.11  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 products to you, for example, delivery address, billing address, contact information, etc. If so, this will have been stated in the description of the product(s) on our Website. We will contact you to ask for this information. If you do not give us this information within a reasonable time of us asking for it, or if you give us incomplete or incorrect information, we may either end the contract (and clause 10.2 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 product(s) late or not supplying any part of them if this is caused by you not giving us the information we need within a reasonable time of us asking for it.

7.12 Reasons we may suspend the supply of products to you. 

We may have to suspend the supply of a product to:

a. deal with technical problems or make minor technical changes;

b. update the product to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements;

c. make changes to the order as requested by you or the product as notified by us to you (see clause 6);

d. deal with any circumstance arising under clause 7.3 or if the product(s) in question are at that time not available for delivery.

7.13  Your rights if we suspend the supply of products. We will contact you in advance to tell you we will be suspending supply of the product, unless the problem (which has caused the suspension) is urgent or an emergency. If we have to suspend any of our products after you have placed an order, we will adjust the price so that you do not pay for any products that have been suspended.

8.1 You can always end your contract with us. Your rights when you end the contract will depend on what you have bought, whether there is anything wrong with it, how we are performing and when you decide to end the contract:

a. If what you have bought is faulty or mis described you may have a legal right to end the contract (or to get the product repaired or replaced or a service re-performed or to get some or all of your money back), see clause 11;

b. If you want to end the contract because of something we have done or have told you we are going to do, see clause 8.2;

d. This right is automatically in place for a period of 30 days from you taking ownership of the product. 

8.2 Ending the contract because of something we have done or are going to do. If you are ending a contract for a reason set out at clause 8.2 (a) to (e) below, the contract will end immediately and we will refund you in full for any products which have not been provided and you may also be entitled to compensation.

Where this is because you have change of mind during the Cooling Off Period items that are received back flat packed in their original form and packaging will be accepted for full refund. Product(s) returned which cannot be re-sold as new because assembly has been commenced, thus rendering the product as used, will be refunded subject to appropriate deductions for the loss in value. Deductions will not typically be made if you have removed packaging to inspect an item, however deductions may be made if any bespoke packaging is used and not returned with the product.

8.4 When you don't have the right to change your mind. You do not have a right to change your mind in respect of:

a. any products sealed for health protection or hygiene purposes, once these have been unsealed after you receive them; and

8.6 Ending the contract where we are not at fault and there is no right to change your mind.

10.3 Product availability. Our Website will display our most up to date stock availability however there may be circumstances where some products may not be available after we have accepted your order (e.g. due to stock loss, subsequent discovery in our warehouse that product is faulty, or inventory issues where an item is discovered to be unavailable after order has been accepted). We will let you know as soon as possible after we have accepted your order if there is an issue with product availability including if the product has been discontinued. In this case we will refund any sums paid to us and you may of course check back on our Website at a later date when the product is back in stock.

11.1 How to tell us about problems. If you have any questions or complaints about the product(s), please contact us. Please simply click on Contact Us, choose the appropriate enquiry option (“I have an issue with my product”) and complete the online form. 

11.2 Summary of your legal rights. We are under a legal duty to supply products that comply with this contract. Nothing in these terms will affect your legal rights. You can find out more about your legal rights here: www.adviceguide.org.uk .

11.3  Your obligation to return rejected products. If you wish to exercise your legal rights to reject products you must allow us to collect them from you and from the address that the item was delivered to. We will pay the costs of collection. Please simply click on Contact Us, choose the cancellation/returns option and complete the online form.  



11.4 Products purchased from other companies. We are only responsible for any faulty product that has been purchased directly through our website. If you have purchased one of our products through any third party, the third party from which the product was purchased will be responsible for any collection, replacement and/or refund of the faulty product and you should contact that third party directly in order to resolve any such issues.

12.1 Where to find the price for the product. The price of the product (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 product advised to you is correct. However please see clause 12.3 for what happens if we discover an error in the price of the product you order.

12.2 We will pass on changes in the rate of VAT. If the rate of VAT changes between your order date and the date we supply the product, we will adjust the rate of VAT that you pay, unless you have already paid for the product in full before the change in the rate of VAT takes effect.

12.3 What happens if we got the price wrong. It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the products we sell may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices before accepting your order so that, where the product's correct price at your order date is less than our stated price at your order date, we will charge the lower amount. If the product's 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 require the return of any products provided to you.

12.4 When you must pay and how you must pay. We accept payment with most major credit and debit cards as well as PayPal. You can also choose to pay with Klarna on selected products. Payment shall be made with your chosen payment method on placing your order. Products will not be dispatched to you if payment is not successful. Please note that some banks or third party payment providers may request ID information of two factor authentication before confirming payment and enabling an order to be processed. Such arrangements are between you and the third party payment provider and we may not be able to process an order unless and until such authentication has successfully occurred. If you choose to pay by Klarna, you will be directed to the Klarna site to 'Log In' and review the amount to be paid before completing your purchase. Klarna's T&Cs will apply. For more information on making a purchase with Klarna, please click here.

Klarna's Pay in 3 and Pay in 30 days are unregulated credit agreements. Borrowing more than you can afford or paying late may negatively impact your financial status and ability to obtain credit. 18+, UK residents only. Subject to status. T&Cs and late fees apply.

12.5 What to do if you think an invoice is wrong. If you think an invoice is wrong please contact us promptly to let us know. You will not have to pay any interest until the dispute is resolved. Once the dispute is resolved we will charge you interest on correctly invoiced sums from the original due date.

13.1 From time to time we may offer promotional coupons and discount codes to you ("Offers"). Your use of these Offers is subject to the Offer terms and conditions. The Offer terms and conditions will typically be made available to you at the point you engage with the Offer. Please check these terms and conditions carefully before trying to use them to claim the Offer. Each offer can only be used once. You will not be entitled to use more than one Offer per transaction and our Offers cannot be combined with other Offers or promotions. 

13.2 We reserve the right to withdraw or modify Offers at any time.

13.3 From time to time we may run an Offer providing a 10% off welcome coupon when signing up to our newsletter. This 10% off welcome coupon will only be valid until the end date that appears on the coupon that we send you. Again, each offer can only be used once. You will not be entitled to use more than one Offer per transaction and our Offers cannot be combined with other Offers or promotions.



13.4 Any Offer that we may run is for individual purchasers only and any relevant coupon or discount code will not be usable by any re-seller accounts.

13.5 You agree that any item that you purchase as part of any Offer will be purchased for personal use only, and you will not offer the product for re-sale.

14.1  We are responsible to you for foreseeable loss and damage caused by us. If we fail to comply with these terms, 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.

14.2  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 or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation or for breach of your legal rights in relation to the products as summarised at clause 11.2.



14.3  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, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity.

14.4  We limit our liability. Our liability to you under these Terms and Conditions of Sale and our Returns policy (Please see our Delivery Information tab on this Website) shall not exceed the price paid for the products you have purchased through our Website, provided that we take reasonable care when we deliver the products to you.

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 always 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 (except that you can always transfer our guarantee). You may only transfer your rights or your obligations under these terms to another person if we agree to this in writing. However, you may transfer our guarantee at clause 8.4 to a person who has acquired the product or, where the product is a service, any item in respect of which we have provided the services. We may require the person to whom the guarantee is transferred to provide reasonable evidence that they are now the owner of the relevant item, for example by providing proof of purchase.

15.3 Nobody else has any rights under this contract (except someone you pass your guarantee on to). This contract is between you and us. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms, except as explained in clause 14.2 in respect of our guarantee. 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.

15.4 If a court finds part of this contract illegal, the rest will continue in force. Each of the paragraphs of these terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, 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 taking steps against you in respect of you breaking this contract, this 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 Complaints. In the event you have a complaint regarding a product or service purchased from us, please simply click on Contact Us, choose the appropriate enquiry option (“I have an issue with my product”) and complete the online form. If you are not happy with how we have handled any complaint, you may want to contact the alternative dispute resolution provider we use. You can submit a complaint to Retail ADR via their website at www.retailadr.org.uk. Retail ADR will not charge you for making a complaint and if you are not satisfied with the outcome you can still bring legal proceedings.

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