Delivery

  • We deliver all products fore free within the UK.
  • We require you to sign a delivery note on receipt of the goods.

  • If you cancel an order after the goods have been delivered, you will be charged the ACTUAL COST of collecting the item.

The cost will be deducted from any refund that is due to you
  • Where you cancel your order under the Distance Selling Regulations, we will refund your money within 30 days of the day you cancelled your order.
  • When we receive the goods we will inspect them to ensure all manuals, accessories and other components are within the returned package and that you have taken reasonable care of the goods. If we receive an item that you have not taken reasonable care of, we shall charge you a fee equivalent to the reduction in the item’s value. If the item has missing components we shall charge you a further fee to cover the cost of these items. These costs will be deducted from any refund that is due to you.

Faulty Items

  • All products are covered by a 12 month minimum manufacturer guarantee against faulty workmanship and materials, subject to manufacturer conditions. The details of the guarantee will be delivered with your product.
  • The guarantee will not apply if the fault arises from fair wear and tear in our reasonable opinion, deliberate damage, accidental damage, negligence, abnormal working conditions, failure to follow manufacturer instructions, misuse or alteration or repair of the goods without manufacturer approval.
  • The manufacturer’s guarantee is provided in addition to the rights you have as a consumer and accordingly, your statutory rights are not affected.

Liability

  • We have made every effort to display as accurately as possible the colours of our products that appear on this Website. However, we cannot guarantee that your monitor’s display of any colour will accurately reflect the colour of the actual product.
  • While we try to be as accurate as possible, all sizes, weights and measurements quoted are approximate.

  • The products sold on this Website have been designed to comply with all relevant UK legislation. We cannot warrant or represent that they comply with any legal requirement outside the UK.

Secure Technology

  • We are aware of the concerns customers have about entering their card details when carrying out a transaction. We have therefore implemented the following measures to ensure that paying via our Website is as safe as possible:
  • All your credit card and personal information is encrypted and held on a secure SSL (Secure Socket Layer) server. This protects data during transit, in particular the credit card information, from being intercepted and misused by hackers.
  • We use 128-bit encryption (this technology scrambles the data relating to your account to ensure that your information cannot be read by anyone else) and constantly update our technologies in line with new security measures.
  • Any information transmitted to us is encrypted (scrambled) whilst it is sent over the Internet. When it reaches us we then encrypt the content so that only authorised personnel can access it. This makes it very difficult for this data to be intercepted.
  • We ask you to enter the CV2 security number from the back of your credit or debit card, which helps to reduce the risk of Internet fraud being carried out.
  • You should ensure that the technology you are using is also secure.

Copyright

  • Reproduction of all or any substantial part of the material in any form is prohibited except that individual users may print or save portions of the material for their own personal use.
  • The above paragraph does not permit you to incorporate the material or any substantial part of it in any other work or publication, whether in hard copy or electronic or any other form. In particular (but without limitation) no substantial part of the material may be distributed or copied for any commercial purpose.
  • No substantial part of the web site may be reproduced on or transmitted to or stored in any other web site or other electronic retrieval system.

English law applies to this contract and any dispute will be dealt with exclusively in the English Courts. These Terms and Conditions do not affect your statutory rights in any way.
