5. International Customers
5.1 If Goods are being ordered from outside the United Kingdom, import duties and taxes may be incurred once your Goods reach their destination. We are not responsible for such charges and We undertake to make no calculations or estimates in this regard. This includes Free on Board (FOB) Orders. If you are buying internationally, you are advised to contact your local customs authorities for further details on costs and procedures. As the purchaser of the Goods, you will also be the importer on record and, as such, should ensure that your purchase is in full compliance with the laws of the country into which the Goods are being imported. Please be aware that Goods may be inspected on arrival at port for customs purposes and We cannot guarantee that the packaging of your Goods will be free of signs of tampering. Please also be aware that United Kingdom consumer protection laws may not apply. All Goods and delivery charges will be shown in the relevant local currency if available.
6. Goods, Pricing and Availability
6.1 We make all reasonable efforts to ensure that all descriptions and graphical representations of Goods available from Us correspond to the actual Goods. Please note, however, the following:
6.1.1 Images of Goods are for illustrative purposes only. There may be slight variations in colour between the image of a product and the actual product sold due to differences in device displays and lighting conditions; and
6.1.2 Images and/or descriptions of packaging are for illustrative purposes only; the actual packaging of Goods may vary.
6.2 Please note that sub-Clause 6.1 does not exclude Our responsibility for mistakes due to negligence on Our part and refers only to minor variations of the correct Goods, not to different Goods altogether. Please refer to Clause 10 if you receive incorrect Goods (i.e. Goods that are not as described).
6.3 Where appropriate, you may be required to select the required size, model, colour, number, etc., of the Goods that you are purchasing.
6.4 We cannot guarantee that Goods will always be available.
6.5 Minor changes may, from time to time, be made to certain Goods between your Order being placed and Us processing that Order and dispatching the Goods, for example, to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements, or to address particular technical or security issues. Any such changes will not change any main characteristics of the Goods and will not normally affect your use of those Goods. However, if any change is made that would affect your use of the Goods, suitable information will be provided to you.
6.6 We currently operate using an electronic Goods catalogue which can be accessed via Our Site and a price list which can be requested to place an Order. You will be required to complete a company registration form before your first Order is placed. We make all reasonable efforts to ensure that all prices are correct at the time of being provided. We reserve the right to change prices and to add, alter, or remove special offers from time to time and as necessary. Changes in price will not affect any order that you have already placed (please note sub-Clause 6.9 regarding VAT, however).
6.7 All prices are checked by Us before We accept your Order. In the unlikely event that We have shown incorrect pricing information, We will contact you in writing to inform you of the mistake. If the correct price is lower than that shown when you made your Order, We will simply charge you the lower amount and continue processing your Order. If the correct price is higher, We will give you the option to purchase the Goods at the correct price or to cancel your Order (or the affected part of it). We will not proceed with processing your Order in this case until you respond. If We do not receive a response from you within 30 calendar days, We will treat your Order as cancelled and notify you of this in writing.
6.8 In the event that the price of Goods you have ordered changes between your Order being placed and Us processing that Order and taking any final payment, you will be charged the price shown on the price list at the time of placing your Order.
6.9 Prices on our price list are shown exclusive of VAT. If the VAT rate changes between your Order being placed and Us taking any final payment, the amount of VAT payable will be adjusted when taking payment.
6.10 Delivery charges are not included in the price of Goods displayed on our price list. Delivery options and related charges will be presented to you as part of the Order process.
7. Orders – How Contracts Are Formed
7.1 We currently operate using an electronic Goods catalogue which can be accessed via Our Site and a price list which can be requested to place an Order. You will be required to complete a company registration form before your first Order is placed. Orders can be placed via the contact details on Our Site.
7.2 If, during the order process, you provide Us with incorrect or incomplete information, please contact Us as soon as possible. If We are unable to process your Order due to incorrect or incomplete information, We will contact you to ask to correct it. If you do not give Us the accurate or complete information within 30 calendar days of Our request, We will cancel your Order and treat the Contract as being at an end. If We incur any costs as a result of your incorrect or incomplete information, We may pass those costs on to you.
7.3 No part of Our Site constitutes a contractual offer capable of acceptance. Your Order constitutes a contractual offer that We may, at Our sole discretion, accept. Our acceptance is indicated by Us sending you an Order Confirmation by email. Only once We have sent you an Order Confirmation will there be a legally binding Contract between Us and you.
7.4 Order Confirmations shall contain the following information:
7.4.1 Your Order Number;
7.4.2 Confirmation of the Goods ordered; and
7.4.3 Pricing for the Goods ordered including, where appropriate and if available, taxes (e.g. VAT), delivery and other additional charges
7.5 In the unlikely event that We do not accept or cannot fulfil your Order for any reason, We will explain why in writing. If We have already taken payment any such sums will be refunded to you as soon as possible and in any event within 14 calendar days.
7.6 Any refunds due under this Clause 7 will be made using the same payment method that you used when ordering the Goods.
8. Payment
8.1 Payment for Goods and related delivery charges must always be made in advance and you will be asked to pay during the Order process. If your Order is a FOB delivery, a non-refundable deposit payment of 30% must be made up front to secure the Order with the remaining 70% payable prior to shipping of the Goods. At the point the FOB Order is placed, cancellations are not permitted.
8.2 Payment must be made in full for your Order (FOB Orders aside), without any set-off, counterclaim, deduction, or withholding (except where any deduction or withholding of tax is required by law).
8.3 Payments are to be made via bank transfer.
9. Delivery, Risk and Ownership
9.1 All Goods purchased through Our Site will normally be delivered within 30 calendar days after the date of Our Order Confirmation unless otherwise agreed or specified during the Order process (subject to delays caused by events outside of Our control, for which see Clause 12). FOB Orders will usually take longer and are subject to factory production timescales. Estimated delivery dates will be communicated during the ordering process.
9.2 If We are unable to deliver the Goods on the delivery date, the following will apply:
9.2.1 If no one is available at your delivery address to receive the Goods and the Goods cannot be posted through your letterbox, a delivery note should be left explaining how to rearrange delivery or where to collect the Goods;
9.2.2 If you do not collect the Goods or rearrange delivery within a reasonable time period, We will contact you to ask you how you wish to proceed. If We cannot contact you or arrange redelivery or collection, We will treat the Contract as cancelled and recover the Goods. If this happens, you will be refunded the purchase price of the Goods themselves (unless personalised), but not the cost of delivery. We may also bill you for any reasonable additional cost that We incur in recovering the Goods.
9.3 In the unlikely event that We fail to deliver the Goods within 30 calendar days of Our Order Confirmation (or as otherwise agreed or specified as under sub-Clause 9.1 with FOB Orders aside), if any of the following apply you may treat the Contract as being at an end immediately:
9.3.1 We have refused to deliver your Goods; or
9.3.2 In light of all relevant circumstances, delivery within that time period was essential; or
9.3.3 You told Us when ordering the Goods that delivery within that time period was essential.
9.4 If you do not wish to cancel under sub-Clause 9.3 or if none of the specified circumstances apply, We may agree a new (reasonable) delivery date. If We fail to meet the new deadline, you may then treat the Contract as being at an end.
9.5 You may cancel all or part of your Order under sub-Clauses 9.3 or 9.4 provided that separating the Goods in your Order would not significantly reduce their value. Any sums that you have already paid for cancelled Goods and their delivery will be refunded to you within 14 calendar days. Please note that if any cancelled Goods are delivered to you, you must return them to Us. We will bear the cost of returning the cancelled Goods. Please note that this does not apply to FOB Orders.
9.6 Delivery shall be deemed complete and the responsibility for the Goods will pass to you once We have delivered the Goods to the address you have provided or once We have shipped them under.FOB.
9.7 Ownership of the Goods passes to you once We have received payment in full of all sums due (including any applicable delivery charges).
9.8 Any refunds due under this Clause 9 will be made using the same payment method that you used when ordering the Goods.
9.9 In the event of any personalised/ customised products you agree to exercise due diligence in providing direction to us regarding the preparation of materials and must be able to substantiate all claims and representations. You are responsible for all trademark, copyright and patent infringement clearances and are responsible for arranging, prior to publication, any necessary legal clearances, licenses, usage or royalty payments. You acknowledge that we may use a third-party provider and be required to share details with them in order to fulfil your order (for example, for personalised products). For personalised Orders, this may include a business customer dealing directly with a third-party supplier for a product proof and delivery of their Order. Personalised Orders may be subject to different timeframes for processing and delivery which will be communicated about at the relevant time.
10. Faulty, Damaged or Incorrect Goods
