By law, the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013, SI 2013/3134 say that we must give you certain key information before a legally binding contract between you and us is made (see below). We will give you this information in a clear and understandable way. Some of this information is likely to be obvious from the context. Some of this information is also set out in this contract, such as information on our complaint handling policy. The Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 say that up to 14 days after receiving your goods, in most cases, you can change your mind and get a full refund. 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 you’re entitled to the following: —up to 30 days: if your goods are faulty, then you can get a refund; —up to six months: if they can’t be repaired or replaced, then you’re entitled to a full refund, in most cases; We do however offer additional terms in that any manufacturing faults will be repaired free of charge within 1 year of purchase, all other damages will be chargeable, please see clause 9.4 below; —up to six years: if the goods do not last a reasonable length of time, you may be entitled to some money back.

6.7 You are responsible for the goods when delivery has taken place. In other words, the risk in the goods passes to you when you take possession of the goods.
7 Payment
7.1 We accept certain credit cards and debit cards. We also accept bank transfers at our discretion and to be agreed in advance.
7.2 We will do all that we reasonably can to ensure that all of the information you give us when paying for the goods is secure by using an encrypted secure payment mechanism. However, in the absence of negligence on our part, any failure by us to comply with this contract or our Privacy Policy or breach by us of our duties under applicable laws we will not be legally responsible to you for any loss that you may suffer if a third party gains unauthorised access to any information that you give us.
7.3 Your credit card or debit card will be charged when your order is placed.

If you confirm that you do wish to proceed, please remember that we will not be under an obligation to supply the goods until we have sent you a second email confirming your order.
7.8.7 may be incorrect, despite our best efforts. We will normally check prices before accepting your order so that, where the correct price of the goods at your order date is less than our stated price at your order date, we will charge the lower amount. If the correct price of the goods 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.
