  2. OUR CONTRACT WITH YOU
    1. How we will accept your order. Our acceptance of your order will take place when we email you to accept it, at which point a contract will come into existence between you and us.
    2. If we cannot accept your order. If we are unable to accept your order, we will inform you of this and will not charge you for the product. This might be because the product is 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 product or because we are unable to meet a delivery deadline you have specified.
    3. Best before dates of our products. We sell our products until 4 weeks before their best before date. This means the best before date of any product you order from us may be 4 weeks after the date that we accept your order.

  4. YOUR RIGHTS TO MAKE CHANGES

If you wish to make a change to the product you have ordered, 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, the timing of supply or anything else which would be necessary as a result of your requested change and ask you to confirm whether you wish to go ahead with the change.

  1. OUR RIGHTS TO MAKE CHANGES

Minor changes to the products. We may change the product:

      1. to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements; and
      2. to implement minor technical adjustments and improvements. These changes will not affect your use of the product.
  1. PROVIDING THE PRODUCTS
    1. Delivery costs. The costs of delivery will be as displayed to you on our website.
    2. When we will provide the products. We will deliver them to you as soon as reasonably possible, which will usually be within 3 to 5 days after the day on which we accept your order depending on the option which you choose when purchasing, and in any event within 30 days after the day on which we accept your order.  
    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. 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 products you have paid for but not received.
    4. If you are not at home when the product is delivered. If no one is available at your address to take delivery and the products cannot be posted through your letterbox, or left in a safe place or with a neighbour according to the instructions you provide when you make your order or that you subsequently give to the courier (so long as your instructions are accepted by the courier), we will leave you a note informing you of how to rearrange delivery or collect the products from a local depot.
    5. If you do not re-arrange delivery. If you do not collect the products 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 and clause 10.2 will apply.
    6. When you become responsible for the goods. Goods will be your responsibility from the time we deliver the product to the address you gave us or when you collect from a local depot.
    7. When you own goods. You own goods once we have received payment in full.
    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 products to you, for example, confirmation of access requirements for delivery. If so, this will have been stated in the description of the products 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 products 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.
  2. YOUR RIGHTS TO END THE CONTRACT
    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, when you decide to end the contract and whether you are a consumer or business customer:
      1. If what you have bought is faulty or misdescribed you may have a legal right to end the contract (or to get the product repaired or replaced or to get some or all of your money back), see clause 12 if you are a consumer and clause 13 if you are a business;
      2. 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;
      3. If you are a consumer and have just changed your mind about the product, see clause 8.3. You may be able to get a refund if you are within the cooling-off period, but this may be subject to deductions and you will have to pay the costs of return of any goods;
      4. In all other cases (if we are not at fault and you are not a consumer exercising your right to change your mind within the cooling off period), see clause 8.6.
    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 (a) to (c) 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. The reasons are:
      1. we have told you about an error in the price or description of the product you have ordered, and you do not wish to proceed;
      2. there is a risk that supply of the products may be significantly delayed because of events outside our control; or
      3. you have a legal right to end the contract because of something we have done wrong.
    3. Exercising your right to change your mind if you are a consumer (Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013). If you are a consumer then for most products bought online you have a legal right to change your mind within 14 days and receive a refund.  These rights, under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, are explained in more detail in these terms.
    4. When consumers do not have a right to change their minds.  Your right as a consumer to change your mind does not apply in respect of products sealed for health protection or hygiene purposes, once these have been unsealed after you receive them.
    5. How long do consumers have to change their minds? If you are a consumer who has bought goods, you have 14 days after the day you (or someone you nominate) receives the goods, unless:
        1. Your goods are split into several deliveries over different days. In this case you have until 14 days after the day you (or someone you nominate) receives the last delivery.
        2. Your goods are for regular delivery over a set period (for example monthly for a year).  In this case you have until 14 days after the day you (or someone you nominate) receives the first delivery of the goods.
    6. Ending the contract where we are not at fault and there is no right to change your mind. Even if we are not at fault and you are not a consumer who has a right to change their mind (see clause 8.1), you can still end the contract before it is completed, but you may have to pay us compensation. If you want to end a contract before it is completed where we are not at fault and you are not a consumer who has changed their mind, just contact us to let us know. The contract will end immediately, and we will refund any sums paid by you for products not provided but we may deduct from that refund (or, if you have not made an advance payment, charge you) reasonable compensation for the net costs we will incur as a result of your ending the contract.
  3. HOW TO END THE CONTRACT WITH US (INCLUDING IF YOU ARE A CONSUMER WHO HAS CHANGED THEIR MIND)
    1. Tell us you want to end the contract. To end the contract with us, please let us know by doing one of the following:
      1. Phone or email. Call customer services on 01747 828996 or email us at [email protected]. Please provide your name, home address, details of the order and, where available, your phone number and email address.
      2. Online. Complete the ONLINE FORM on our website.
      3. By post. Print off the form and post it to us at the address on the form.  Or simply write to us at that address, including details of what you bought, when you ordered or received it and your name and address.
    2. Returning products after ending the contract. If you end the contract for any reason after products have been dispatched to you or you have received them, you must return them to us. You must either return the goods in person to where you bought them, post them back to us at the address on the delivery notice or (if they are not suitable for posting) allow us to collect them from you. Please call customer services on 01747 828996 or email us at [email protected] for a return label or to arrange collection.  If you are a consumer exercising your right to change your mind you must send off the goods within 14 days of telling us you wish to end the contract.
    3. When we will pay the costs of return. We will pay the costs of return:
      1. if the products are faulty or misdescribed; or
      2. if you are ending the contract because we have told you of an upcoming change to the product or these terms, an error in pricing or description, a delay in delivery due to events outside our control or because you have a legal right to do so as a result of something we have done wrong;

In all other circumstances (including where you are a consumer exercising your right to change your mind) you must pay the costs of return.

    1. What we charge for collection. If you are responsible for the costs of return and we are collecting the product from you, we will charge you the direct cost to us of collection. The costs of collection will be the same as our charges for standard delivery, see DELIVERY CHARGES.
    2. How we will refund you.  If you are entitled to a refund under these terms we will refund you the price you paid for the products including delivery costs (where applicable), by the method you used for payment. However, we may make deductions from the price, as described below.
    3. When we may make deduction from refunds if you are a consumer exercising your right to change your mind. If you are exercising your right to change your mind, we may reduce your refund of the price 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. If we refund you the price paid before we are able to inspect the goods and later discover you have handled them in an unacceptable way, you must pay us an appropriate amount.
    4. When your refund will be made. We will make any refunds due to you as soon as possible.  If you are a consumer exercising your right to change your mind then:
      1. If the products are goods and we have not offered to collect them, your refund will be made within 14 days from 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 9.2.
      2. In all other cases, your refund will be made within 14 days of your telling us you have changed your mind.
  1. OUR RIGHTS TO END THE CONTRACT
    1. We may end the contract if you break it. We may end the contract for a product at any time by writing to you if:
      1. you do not make any payment to us when it is due and you still do not make payment within 7 days of us reminding you that payment is due;
      2. you do not, within a reasonable time of us asking for it, provide us with information that is necessary for us to provide the products, for example, access information for delivery; or
      3. you do not, within a reasonable time, allow us to deliver the products to you or collect them from us;
    2. You must compensate us if you break the contract. If we end the contract in the situations set out in clause 10.1 we will refund any money you have paid in advance for products we have not provided but we may deduct or charge you reasonable compensation for the net costs we will incur as a result of your breaking the contract.
    3. We may withdraw the product. We may write to you to let you know that we are going to stop providing the product. We will let you know in advance of our stopping the supply of the product, as far as is reasonably possible, and will refund any sums you have paid in advance for products which will not be provided.
  2. IF THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE PRODUCT

How to tell us about problems. If you have any questions or complaints about the product, please contact us. You can telephone our customer service team on 01747 828996 or write to us at [email protected] or by post to Ashgrove Farm, Ashmore, Wiltshire SP5 5AW.

  1. YOUR RIGHTS IN RESPECT OF DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS IF YOU ARE A CONSUMER
    1. If you are a consumer we are under a legal duty to supply products that are in conformity with this contract. See the box below for a summary of your key legal rights in relation to the products. Nothing in these terms will affect your legal rights.
Summary of your key legal rights

This is a summary of your key legal rights. These are subject to certain exceptions. For detailed information please visit the Citizens Advice website www.adviceguide.org.uk or call 03454 04 05 06.

If your product is goods, for example clothes or drinks, the Consumer Rights Act 2015 says goods must be as described, fit for purpose and of satisfactory quality. During the expected lifespan of your product your legal rights entitle you to the following:

a) Up to 30 days: if your goods are faulty, then you can get an immediate refund.

b) Up to six months: if your goods can’t be repaired or replaced, then you’re entitled to a full refund, in most cases.

c) Up to six years: if your goods do not last a reasonable length of time you may be entitled to some money back.

See also clause 8.3.

    1. Your obligation to return rejected products. If you wish to exercise your legal rights to reject products you must either return them in person to where you bought them, post them back to us or (if they are not suitable for posting) allow us to collect them from you. We will pay the costs of postage or collection. Please call customer services on 01747 828996 or email us at [email protected] for a return label or to arrange collection.
  1. YOUR RIGHTS IN RESPECT OF DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS IF YOU ARE A BUSINESS
    1. If you are a business customer we warrant that on delivery, any goods shall:
      1. conform in all material respects with their description; and
      2. be free from material defects in design, material and workmanship.
    2. Subject to clause 13.3, if:
      1. you give us notice in writing within a reasonable time of discovery that a product does not comply with the warranty set out in clause 13.1;
      2. we are given a reasonable opportunity of examining such product; and
      3. you return such product to us at our cost,

we shall, at our option, repair or replace the defective product, or refund the price of the defective product in full.

    1. We will not be liable for a product’s failure to comply with the warranty in clause 13.1 if:
      1. you make any further use of such product after giving a notice in accordance with clause 13.2(a);
      2. the defect arises because you failed to follow our oral or written instructions as to the storage, installation, commissioning, use or maintenance of the product or (if there are none) good trade practice;
      3. the defect arises as a result of us following any drawing, design or specification supplied by the Customer;
      4. you alter or repair the product without our written consent; or
      5. the defect arises as a result of fair wear and tear, wilful damage, negligence, or abnormal working conditions.
    2. Except as provided in this clause 13, we shall have no liability to you in respect of a product’s failure to comply with the warranty set out in clause 13.1.
    3. These terms shall apply to any repaired or replacement products supplied by us under clause 13.2.
  1. PRICE AND PAYMENT
    1. Where to find the price for the product. The price of the product (which includes applicable VAT and duties) 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 14.3 for what happens if we discover an error in the price of the product you order.
    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.
    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 goods provided to you.
    4. When you must pay and how you must pay. We accept payment with Paypal or such credit and debit cards as are listed on our website during the ordering process. You must pay for the products before we dispatch them. We will not charge your credit or debit card until we dispatch the products to you.
    5. Our right of set-off if you are a business customer. If you are a business customer you must pay all amounts due to us under these terms in full without any set-off, counterclaim, deduction or withholding (other than any deduction or withholding of tax as required by law).
    6. We can charge interest if you pay late. If you do not make any payment to us by the due date we may charge interest to you on the overdue amount at the rate of 5% a year above the base lending rate of Coutts & Co from time to time. This interest shall accrue on a daily basis from the due date until the date of actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgment. You must pay us interest together with any overdue amount.
  2. OUR RESPONSIBILITY FOR LOSS OR DAMAGE SUFFERED BY YOU IF YOU ARE A CONSUMER
    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.
    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; for breach of your legal rights in relation to the products as summarised at clause 12.1 and for defective products under the Consumer Protection Act 1987
    3. We are not liable for business losses. If you are a consumer we only supply the products for to you for domestic and private use. If you use the products for any commercial, business or re-sale purpose our liability to you will be limited as set out in clause 16.
  3. OUR RESPONSIBILITY FOR LOSS OR DAMAGE SUFFERED BY YOU IF YOU ARE A BUSINESS
    1. Nothing in these terms shall limit or exclude our liability for:
      1. death or personal injury caused by our negligence, or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors (as applicable);
      2. fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation;
      3. breach of the terms implied by section 12 of the Sale of Goods Act 1979 or section 2 of the Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982; or
      4. defective products under the Consumer Protection Act 1987; or
      5. any matter in respect of which it would be unlawful for us to exclude or restrict liability.
    2. Except to the extent expressly stated in clause 13.1 all terms implied by sections 13 to 15 of the Sale of Goods Act 1979 and sections 3 to 5 of the Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982 are excluded.
    3. Subject to clause 16.1:
      1. we shall not be liable to you, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty, or otherwise, for any loss of profit, or any indirect or consequential loss arising under or in connection with any contract between us; and

  1. OUR RIGHTS TO MAKE CHANGES

Minor changes to the products. We may change the product:

(a)            to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements; and

(b)            to implement minor technical adjustments and improvements. These changes will not affect your use of the product.

  1. PROVIDING THE PRODUCTS

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

7.2           When we will provide the products. We will deliver them to you as soon as reasonably possible, which will usually be within 3 to 5 days after the day on which we accept your order depending on the option which you choose when purchasing, and in any event within 30 days after the day on which we accept your order.

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. 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 products you have paid for but not received.

7.4           If you are not at home when the product is delivered. If no one is available at your address to take delivery and the products cannot be posted through your letterbox, or left in a safe place or with a neighbour according to the instructions you provide when you make your order or that you subsequently give to the courier (so long as your instructions are accepted by the courier), we will leave you a note informing you of how to rearrange delivery or collect the products from a local depot.

7.5           If you do not re-arrange delivery. If you do not collect the products 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 and clause 10.2 will apply.

7.6           When you become responsible for the goods. Goods will be your responsibility from the time we deliver the product to the address you gave us or when you collect from a local depot.

7.7           When you own goods. You own goods once we have received payment in full.

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 products to you, for example, confirmation of access requirements for delivery. If so, this will have been stated in the description of the products 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 products 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.

  1. YOUR RIGHTS TO END THE CONTRACT

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, when you decide to end the contract and whether you are a consumer or business customer:

(a)            If what you have bought is faulty or misdescribed you may have a legal right to end the contract (or to get the product repaired or replaced or to get some or all of your money back), see clause 12 if you are a consumer and clause 13 if you are a business;

(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;

(c)            If you are a consumer and have just changed your mind about the product, see clause 8.3. You may be able to get a refund if you are within the cooling-off period, but this may be subject to deductions and you will have to pay the costs of return of any goods;

(d)            In all other cases (if we are not at fault and you are not a consumer exercising your right to change your mind within the cooling off period), see clause 8.6.

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 (a) to (c) 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. The reasons are:

(a)            we have told you about an error in the price or description of the product you have ordered, and you do not wish to proceed;

(b)            there is a risk that supply of the products may be significantly delayed because of events outside our control; or

(c)            you have a legal right to end the contract because of something we have done wrong.

8.3           Exercising your right to change your mind if you are a consumer (Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013). If you are a consumer then for most products bought online you have a legal right to change your mind within 14 days and receive a refund.  These rights, under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, are explained in more detail in these terms.

8.4           When consumers do not have a right to change their minds.  Your right as a consumer to change your mind does not apply in respect of products sealed for health protection or hygiene purposes, once these have been unsealed after you receive them.

8.5           How long do consumers have to change their minds? If you are a consumer who has bought goods, you have 14 days after the day you (or someone you nominate) receives the goods, unless:

(i)             Your goods are split into several deliveries over different days. In this case you have until 14 days after the day you (or someone you nominate) receives the last delivery.

(ii)            Your goods are for regular delivery over a set period (for example monthly for a year).  In this case you have until 14 days after the day you (or someone you nominate) receives the first delivery of the goods.

8.6           Ending the contract where we are not at fault and there is no right to change your mind. Even if we are not at fault and you are not a consumer who has a right to change their mind (see clause 8.1), you can still end the contract before it is completed, but you may have to pay us compensation. If you want to end a contract before it is completed where we are not at fault and you are not a consumer who has changed their mind, just contact us to let us know. The contract will end immediately, and we will refund any sums paid by you for products not provided but we may deduct from that refund (or, if you have not made an advance payment, charge you) reasonable compensation for the net costs we will incur as a result of your ending the contract.

  1. HOW TO END THE CONTRACT WITH US (INCLUDING IF YOU ARE A CONSUMER WHO HAS CHANGED THEIR MIND)

9.1           Tell us you want to end the contract. To end the contract with us, please let us know by doing one of the following:

(a)            Phone or email. Call customer services on 01747 828996 or email us at [email protected]. Please provide your name, home address, details of the order and, where available, your phone number and email address.

(b)            Online. Complete the form ONLINE FORM on our website.

(c)            By post. Print off the PDF form and post it to us at the address on the form.  Or simply write to us at that address, including details of what you bought, when you ordered or received it and your name and address.

9.2           Returning products after ending the contract. If you end the contract for any reason after products have been dispatched to you or you have received them, you must return them to us. You must either return the goods in person to where you bought them, post them back to us at the address on the delivery notice or (if they are not suitable for posting) allow us to collect them from you. Please call customer services on 01747 828996 or email us at [email protected] for a return label or to arrange collection.  If you are a consumer exercising your right to change your mind you must send off the goods within 14 days of telling us you wish to end the contract.

9.3           When we will pay the costs of return. We will pay the costs of return:

(a)            if the products are faulty or misdescribed; or

(b)            if you are ending the contract because we have told you of an upcoming change to the product or these terms, an error in pricing or description, a delay in delivery due to events outside our control or because you have a legal right to do so as a result of something we have done wrong;

In all other circumstances (including where you are a consumer exercising your right to change your mind) you must pay the costs of return.

9.4           What we charge for collection. If you are responsible for the costs of return and we are collecting the product from you, we will charge you the direct cost to us of collection. The costs of collection will be the same as our charges for standard delivery, see DELIVERY CHARGES.

9.5           How we will refund you.  If you are entitled to a refund under these terms we will refund you the price you paid for the products including delivery costs (where applicable), by the method you used for payment. However, we may make deductions from the price, as described below.

9.6           When we may make deduction from refunds if you are a consumer exercising your right to change your mind. If you are exercising your right to change your mind, we may reduce your refund of the price 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. If we refund you the price paid before we are able to inspect the goods and later discover you have handled them in an unacceptable way, you must pay us an appropriate amount.

9.7           When your refund will be made. We will make any refunds due to you as soon as possible.  If you are a consumer exercising your right to change your mind then:

(a)            If the products are goods and we have not offered to collect them, your refund will be made within 14 days from 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 9.2.

(b)            In all other cases, your refund will be made within 14 days of your telling us you have changed your mind.

  1. OUR RIGHTS TO END THE CONTRACT

10.1        We may end the contract if you break it. We may end the contract for a product at any time by writing to you if:

(a)            you do not make any payment to us when it is due and you still do not make payment within 7 days of us reminding you that payment is due;

(b)            you do not, within a reasonable time of us asking for it, provide us with information that is necessary for us to provide the products, for example, access information for delivery; or

(c)            you do not, within a reasonable time, allow us to deliver the products to you or collect them from us;

10.2        You must compensate us if you break the contract. If we end the contract in the situations set out in clause 10.1 we will refund any money you have paid in advance for products we have not provided but we may deduct or charge you reasonable compensation for the net costs we will incur as a result of your breaking the contract.

10.3        We may withdraw the product. We may write to you to let you know that we are going to stop providing the product. We will let you know in advance of our stopping the supply of the product, as far as is reasonably possible, and will refund any sums you have paid in advance for products which will not be provided.

b) Up to six months: if your goods can’t be repaired or replaced, then you’re entitled to a full refund, in most cases.

c) Up to six years: if your goods do not last a reasonable length of time you may be entitled to some money back.

  1. YOUR RIGHTS IN RESPECT OF DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS IF YOU ARE A BUSINESS

13.1        If you are a business customer we warrant that on delivery, any goods shall:

(a)            conform in all material respects with their description; and

(b)            be free from material defects in design, material and workmanship.

13.2        Subject to clause 13.3, if:

(a)            you give us notice in writing within a reasonable time of discovery that a product does not comply with the warranty set out in clause 13.1;

(b)            we are given a reasonable opportunity of examining such product; and

(c)            you return such product to us at our cost,

we shall, at our option, repair or replace the defective product, or refund the price of the defective product in full.

13.3        We will not be liable for a product’s failure to comply with the warranty in clause 13.1 if:

(a)            you make any further use of such product after giving a notice in accordance with clause 13.2(a);

(b)            the defect arises because you failed to follow our oral or written instructions as to the storage, installation, commissioning, use or maintenance of the product or (if there are none) good trade practice;

(c)            the defect arises as a result of us following any drawing, design or specification supplied by the Customer;

(d)            you alter or repair the product without our written consent; or

(e)            the defect arises as a result of fair wear and tear, wilful damage, negligence, or abnormal working conditions.

13.4        Except as provided in this clause 13, we shall have no liability to you in respect of a product’s failure to comply with the warranty set out in clause 13.1.

13.5        These terms shall apply to any repaired or replacement products supplied by us under clause 13.2.

  1. PRICE AND PAYMENT

14.1        Where to find the price for the product. The price of the product (which includes applicable VAT and duties) 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 14.3 for what happens if we discover an error in the price of the product you order.

14.2        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.

14.3        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 goods provided to you.

14.4        When you must pay and how you must pay. We accept payment with Paypal or such credit and debit cards as are listed on our website during the ordering process. You must pay for the products before we dispatch them. We will not charge your credit or debit card until we dispatch the products to you.

14.5        Our right of set-off if you are a business customer. If you are a business customer you must pay all amounts due to us under these terms in full without any set-off, counterclaim, deduction or withholding (other than any deduction or withholding of tax as required by law).

14.6        We can charge interest if you pay late. If you do not make any payment to us by the due date we may charge interest to you on the overdue amount at the rate of 5% a year above the base lending rate of Coutts & Co from time to time. This interest shall accrue on a daily basis from the due date until the date of actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgment. You must pay us interest together with any overdue amount.

  1. OUR RESPONSIBILITY FOR LOSS OR DAMAGE SUFFERED BY YOU IF YOU ARE A CONSUMER

15.1        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.

15.2        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; for breach of your legal rights in relation to the products as summarised at clause 12.1 and for defective products under the Consumer Protection Act 1987

15.3        We are not liable for business losses. If you are a consumer we only supply the products for to you for domestic and private use. If you use the products for any commercial, business or re-sale purpose our liability to you will be limited as set out in clause 16.

(a)            death or personal injury caused by our negligence, or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors (as applicable);

(c)            breach of the terms implied by section 12 of the Sale of Goods Act 1979 or section 2 of the Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982; or

(d)            defective products under the Consumer Protection Act 1987; or

(e)            any matter in respect of which it would be unlawful for us to exclude or restrict liability.

16.2        Except to the extent expressly stated in clause 13.1 all terms implied by sections 13 to 15 of the Sale of Goods Act 1979 and sections 3 to 5 of the Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982 are excluded.

16.3        Subject to clause 16.1:

(a)            we shall not be liable to you, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty, or otherwise, for any loss of profit, or any indirect or consequential loss arising under or in connection with any contract between us; and

(b)            our total liability to you for all other losses arising under or in connection with any contract between us, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty, or otherwise, shall be limited to the total sums paid by you for products under such contract.
