7.2 After you place an order, you will receive an e-mail from us acknowledging that we have received your order. However, please note that this does not mean that your order has been accepted. Our acceptance of your order will take place as described in clause 7.3.

7.3 We will confirm our acceptance to you by sending you an e-mail that confirms that the Products have been dispatched (Dispatch Confirmation). The Contract between us will only be formed when we send you the Dispatch Confirmation.

7.4 If we are unable to supply you with a Product, for example because that Product is not in stock or no longer available or because we cannot meet your requested delivery date or because of an error in the price on our site as referred to in clause 12.5, we will inform you of this by e-mail and we will not process your order.

You may cancel either in respect of all the affected Products or just the Products you have yet to receive. If you opt to cancel, you will have to return (at our cost and by such method as we direct) any relevant Products you have already received and we will arrange a full refund of the price you have paid, including any delivery charges.

9. YOUR CONSUMER RIGHT OF RETURN AND REFUND

This clause 9 only applies if you are a consumer.

9.1 If you are a consumer, you have a legal right to cancel a Contract during the period set out below in clause 9.2. This means that during the relevant period if you change your mind or decide for any other reason that you do not want to receive or keep a Product, you can notify us of your decision to cancel the Contract and receive a refund. Advice about your legal right to cancel the Contract is available from your local Citizens’ Advice Bureau or Trading Standards office.

9.2 However, this cancellation right does not apply in the case of any Products which become mixed inseparably with other items after their delivery.

9.3 Your legal right to cancel a Contract starts from the date of the Dispatch Confirmation (the date on which we e-mail you to confirm our acceptance of your order), which is when the Contract between us is formed. Your deadline for cancelling the Contract then depends on what you have ordered and how it is delivered, as set out in the table below:

Your Contract

End of the cancellation period

Your Contract is for a single Product (which is not delivered in instalments on separate days).

The end date is the end of 14 days after the day on which you receive the Product.
Example: if we provide you with a Dispatch Confirmation on 1
January and you receive the Product on 10 January you may cancel at any time between 1 January and the end of the day on 24 January.

Your Contract is for either of the following:

One Product which is delivered in instalments on separate days.

Multiple Products which are delivered on separate days.

The end date is 14 days after the day on which you receive the last instalment of the Product or the last of the separate Products ordered.

Example: if we provide you with a Dispatch Confirmation on 1 January and you receive the first instalment of your Product or the first of your separate Products on 10 January and the last instalment or last separate Product on 15 January you may cancel in respect of all instalments and any or all of the separate Products at any time between 1 January and the end of the day on 29 January.

Your Contract is for the regular delivery of a Product

over a set period.

The end date is 14 days after the day on which you receive the first delivery of the Products.

Example: if we provide you with a Dispatch Confirmation on 1 January in respect of Products to be delivered at regular intervals over a year and you receive the first delivery of your Product on 10 January, you may cancel at any time between 1 January and the end of the day on 24 January. 24 January is the last day of the cancellation period in respect of all Products to arrive during the year.

9.4 To cancel a Contract, you just need to let us know that you have decided to cancel. The easiest way to do this is to complete the cancellation form [LINK] on our website. A link to the website cancellation form will be included in our Dispatch Confirmation. If
you use this method we will e-mail you to confirm we have received your cancellation. You can also e-mail us at [email protected] or contact our Customer Services team by telephone on +44 (0) 1908 449205 or by post to Acctim House, Jenna Way, Interchange Park, Newport Pagnell, MK16 9QJ. If you are e-mailing us or writing to us please include details of your order to help us to identify it. If you send us your cancellation notice by e-mail or by post, then your cancellation is effective from the date you send us the e-mail or post the letter to us. For example, you will have given us notice in time as long as you get your letter into the last post on the last day of the cancellation period or e-mail us before midnight on that day.

PLEASE NOTE THAT ONCE YOU HAVE INFORMED US THAT YOU WISH TO CANCEL OUR CONTRACT YOU MUST CONTACT US BEFORE RETURNING ANY GOODS – PLEASE SEE CLAUSE 9.9 FOR FURTHER DETAILS.

9.5 If you cancel your Contract we will:

9.5.1 refund you the price you paid for the Products. However, please note we are permitted by law to reduce your refund to reflect any reduction in the value of the goods, if this has been caused by your handling them in a way which would not be permitted in a shop.

9.5.2 refund any delivery costs you have paid to have the Products delivered to you, although, as permitted by law, the maximum refund will be the costs of delivery by the least expensive delivery method we offer (provided that this is a common and generally acceptable method). For example, if we offer delivery of a Product within 3-5 days at one cost but you choose to have the Product delivered within 24 hours at a higher cost, then we will only refund what you would have paid for the cheaper delivery option.

9.5.3 make any refunds due to you as soon as possible and in any event within the deadlines indicated below:

9.5.3.1 if you have received the Product: 14 days after the day on which we receive the Product back from you or, if earlier, the day on which you provide us with evidence that you have sent the Product back to us. For information about how to return a Product to us, see clause 9.9;

9.5.3.2 if you have not received the Product: 14 days after you inform us of your decision to cancel the Contract.

9.6 If you have returned the Products to us under this clause 9 because they are faulty or mis-described, we will refund the price of the Products in full, together with any

applicable delivery charges, and any reasonable costs you incur in returning the item to us.

9.7 We will refund you on the credit card or debit card or Paypal account used by you to pay. If you used vouchers to pay for the Product we may refund you in vouchers.

9.8 If a Product has been delivered to you before you decide to cancel your Contract:

9.8.1 then you must return it to us without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days after the day on which you let us know that you wish to cancel the Contract. Please see clause 9.9 for details on how to return a Product.

9.8.2 unless the Product is faulty or not as described (in this case, see clause 9.6), you will be responsible for the cost of returning the Products to us. If the Product is one which cannot be returned by post, we estimate that if you use the carrier which delivered the Product to you, these costs should not exceed the sums we charged you for delivery.

9.9 Returning Products to us. It is essential that you contact us prior to returning any Products to us. It is your responsibility to ensure that any Products returned to us are properly insured. We will not be responsible for any items lost or damaged in transit. We strongly advise that you use a traceable postal service.

9.10 Because you are a consumer, we are under a legal duty to supply Products that are in conformity with this Contract. As a consumer, you have legal rights in relation to Products that are faulty or not as described. These legal rights are not affected by your right of return and refund in this clause 9 or anything else in these Terms. Advice about your legal rights is available from your local Citizens’ Advice Bureau or Trading Standards office.

 

10. DELIVERY

10.1 We will contact you with an estimated delivery date. Occasionally our delivery to you may be affected by an Event Outside Our Control. See clause 17 for our responsibilities when this happens.

10.2 If no one is available at your address to take delivery, a note will be left at your address explaining that the Products have either been taken to a local post office for collection (or a local depot) and/or providing you with contact details to arrange redelivery.

10.3 Delivery of an Order shall be completed when we deliver the Products to the address you gave us and the Products will be your responsibility from that time.

10.4 You own the Products once we have received payment in full, including all applicable delivery charges. This clause 10.5 only applies if you are a consumer.

10.5 If we miss the delivery deadline for any Products then you may cancel your Order straight away if any of the following apply:

10.5.1 we have refused to deliver the Products;

10.5.2 delivery within the delivery deadline was essential (taking into account all the relevant circumstances); or

10.5.3 you told us before we accepted your order that delivery within the delivery deadline was essential.

10.6 If you do not wish to cancel your order straight away, or do not have the right to do so under clause 10.5, you can give us a new deadline for delivery, which must be reasonable, and you can cancel your Order if we do not meet the new deadline.

10.7 If you do choose to cancel your Order for late delivery under clause 10.6 or clause 10.7, you can do so for just some of the Products or all of them, unless splitting them up would significantly reduce their value. If the Products have been delivered to you, you will have to return them to us or allow us to collect them, and we will pay the costs of this. After you cancel your Order we will refund any sums you have paid to us for the cancelled Products and their delivery.

11. NO INTERNATIONAL DELIVERY

11.1 Unfortunately, we do not deliver to addresses outside the UK.

11.2 You may place an order for Products from outside the UK, but this order must be for delivery to an address in the UK.

However please see clause 12.5 for what happens if we discover an error in the price of Product(s) you ordered.

12.2 Prices for our Products may change from time to time, but changes will not affect any order you have already placed.

12.3 The price of a Product includes VAT (where applicable) at the applicable current rate chargeable in the UK for the time being.

12.4 The price of a Product does not include delivery charges. Our delivery charges are as advised to you during the check-out process, before you confirm your order. To check relevant delivery charges, please refer to our Delivery Charges page on the website.

12.5 Our site contains a large number of Products. It is always possible that, despite our reasonable efforts, some of the Products on our site may be incorrectly priced. If we discover an error in the price of the Products you have ordered we will contact you to inform you of this error and we will give you the option of continuing to purchase the Product at the correct price or cancelling your order. We will not process your order until we have your instructions. If we are unable to contact you using the contact details you provided during the order process, we will treat the order as cancelled and notify you in writing. Please note that if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as a mispricing, we do not have to provide the Products to you at the incorrect (lower) price.

19.5 If we fail to insist that you perform any of your obligations under these Terms, or if
we do not enforce our rights against you, or if we delay in doing so, that will not mean that we have waived our rights against you and will not mean that you do not have to comply with those obligations. If we do waive a default by you, we will only do so in writing, and that will not mean that we will automatically waive any later default by you.

19.6 If you are a consumer, please note that these Terms are governed by English law.
