8.1 Updates: We amend these Terms from time to time. Please look at the top of this page to see when these Terms were last updated and which Terms were changed.

8.4 Letting you know of changes: If we have to revise these Terms as they apply to your order, we will contact you to give you reasonable advance notice of the changes and let you know how to cancel the Contract if you are not happy with the changes. You may cancel the Contract 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) any 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

9.1 This Clause 9 only applies if you are a Consumer.

9.2 Cancellation rights: If you are a Consumer, you have a legal right to cancel a Contract under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 during the period set out below in Clause 9.3. This means that during the relevant period if you change your mind or decide for any other reason that you do not want the Products, 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.

9.3 Periods in which you can cancel: Your legal right to cancel a Contract starts from the date of the Order Confirmation (the date on which we email 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 item (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 any Product.

Example: if we provide you with an Order 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 item which is delivered in instalments on separate days.

  • multiple items which are delivered on separate days.

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

Example, if:

  • we provide you with an Order Confirmation on 1 January;

  • you receive the first instalment of any Product, or the first item of the separate Products, on 10 January; and

  • the last instalment or the final item of the separate Products 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.

9.4 How to cancel: 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 contact our Customer Services Team on +1 734 926 8981. You can also contact us by email at [email protected].us or by post to Unit 1 Turbine Park, Turbine Road, Birkenhead, Merseyside, CH41 9BA, UK, or you can use the Model Cancelation Form that appears at the end of these Terms. If you are emailing 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 email or by post, then your cancellation is effective from the date you send us the email 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 email us before midnight on that day.

9.5 Refunds: If you cancel your Contract we will:

(a) 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 Products, 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 Products and later discover you have handled them in an unacceptable way, you must pay us an appropriate amount;

(b) in the case of Products that are faulty or not as described, refund any delivery costs you have paid, 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 any Products within 2 days at one cost but you choose to have the Products delivered within 24 hours at a higher cost, then we will only refund what you would have paid for the cheaper delivery option; and

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

(i) if you have received the Products: 14 days after the day on which we receive the Products back from you or, if earlier, the day on which you provide us with evidence that you have sent the Products back to us. For information about how to return any Products to us, see Clause 9.7; and

(ii) if you have not received any Products: 14 days after you inform us of your decision to cancel the Contract.

9.6 How we refund: We will refund you on the credit card or debit card used by you to pay.

9.7 Returning the Products: If any Products have been delivered to you before you decide to cancel your Contract (please refer to Clause 9.4 for information on how to cancel):

(a) then you must return them 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; and

(b) unless the Products are faulty or not as described (in this case, see Clause b), you will be responsible for the cost of returning the Products to us.

9.8 Your legal rights: 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 Delivery dates: We will contact you with an estimated delivery date, which will be within 30 days after the date of the Order Confirmation (the date on which we email you to confirm our acceptance of your order). Occasionally our delivery to you may be affected by an Event Outside Our Control. See Clause 16 for our responsibilities when this happens.

10.2 Completion of delivery: Delivery shall be completed when we deliver the Products to the address you gave us when you submitted your order.

10.3 Owning the Products: You own the Products once we have received payment in full, including all applicable delivery charges, and the Products have been delivered to you.

10.4 This Clause 10.4 only applies if you are a Consumer: If we miss the 30 day delivery deadline for the Products then you may cancel the Contract straight away if any of the following apply:

(a) we have refused to deliver the Products;

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

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

10.5 Rearranging delivery: If you do not wish to cancel your order straight away, or do not have the right to do so under Clause 10.4, you can give us a new deadline for delivery, which must be reasonable, and you can cancel the Contract if we do not meet the new deadline.

10.6 Cancelling for late delivery: If you do choose to cancel the Contract for late delivery under Clause 10.5 or Clause 10.6, 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 the Contract we will refund any sums you have paid to us for the cancelled Products and their delivery.

11. PRICE OF PRODUCTS AND DELIVERY CHARGES

11.1 Accuracy of Website: The prices of the Products will be as quoted on the Website at the time you submit your order. We take all reasonable care to ensure that the prices of Products are correct at the time when the relevant information was entered onto the system. However please see Clause 11.5 for what happens if we discover an error in the price of any Products ordered.

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

11.3 Sales tax: Prices for our Products include all sales taxes (where applicable).

11.5 Incorrect pricing: The Website contains a large number of Products. It is always possible that, despite our reasonable efforts, some of the Products on the Website 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 Products 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.
