We do not deliver to PO Box addresses. There may be an extra charge for delivering to some remote areas.

10.2 Delivery Days

We only deliver on working days, being Monday to Friday, excluding public and bank holidays, within the working hours specified on our web site (or if not specified, between 8am and 6pm). Any statements as to delivery within a number of days should be read as working days, and if a bank or other public holiday falls within any delivery period then you should allow an extra two working days for delivery. If you order after 12.30 p.m., please calculate your delivery time as if your order had been placed the following working day. Please be aware some items may take longer.

10.3 Delivery Timescales

We will use reasonable efforts to deliver the goods by the delivery dates or within the delivery timescales stated in the ordering web pages/catalogues, or our standard delivery timescales stated on our web site, if a specific timescale has not been stated in the ordering web pages. However, delays are occasionally inevitable due to unforeseen factors beyond our control and therefore delivery times are not guaranteed. If we do not make a delivery date and we fail to deliver within a further 30 days, then you may cancel the contract and obtain a refund of any amounts you have paid under the contract. This shall be our sole liability and your sole remedy for late or non-delivery. Standard delivery timescales may not apply to remote areas.

10.6 Delivery Note

All deliveries must be signed for before our carrier will release them to you. Signing for delivery is for simple proof of receipt purposes and will not affect any of your other rights.

This will be without prejudice to any damage or fault you could not have discovered on reasonable inspection of the goods. Any other claims outside of this period will not be accepted.

10.9 Risk

Risk in the goods shall pass to you on delivery.

You agree that we may still sue for the full RRP, notwithstanding that title has not passed. You also agree that your right to possession and use of the goods shall cease if any amount payable by you under the contract becomes overdue, or you enter into liquidation or administration, and that we shall be entitled to enter any premises where the goods are kept for the purposes of repossessing them.

11. CANCELLATION RIGHT

11.1 Your right to cancel

To enable you to have a reasonable opportunity to try out the goods, we give you the right to cancel the contract in accordance with the following terms. You can do this by giving us notice before you receive the goods, or by giving notice no later than 14 days after the day you received the goods. We reserve the right to refuse a cancellation in our sole discretion if we believe in our reasonable opinion that this right is being abused (such as you are not genuinely using it just to evaluate the goods).

11.2 When can I NOT cancel?

You will not be able to cancel if:-

(a) the goods were made to your specifications or are personalised to you;

(b) the goods cannot be returned by reason of their nature (for example you have opened or used any pack of paper) or are liable to deteriorate or expire rapidly;

(c) the goods are software or audio or video products and you open any seals;

(d) the goods are damaged or marked in any way or have unreasonable wear or are otherwise not in a condition consistent with your having taken reasonable care of them;

(e) the goods are in a condition such that they cannot reasonably be re-sold at all or for more than 80% of their original value;

(f) you are not able to return the goods with all packaging, contents, documents, and other items supplied with or as part of the goods, including any free gifts; or

(g) you sell, transfer, hire or lend the goods or give ownership of the goods to any other person.

(b) writing to us at the address found in the Your Contact section of the website, quoting your order reference number.

(Don't worry if you don't have your order reference number to hand; this won't affect your rights, but it will save time if you can quote it).

11.4 What must I do with the goods?

If you decide to return your goods you must stop using the goods immediately and you must immediately return the goods to us at the address in the United Kingdom we specify. We may in our discretion agree or decide to collect the goods from you, or send to you a pre-paid package (for example a jiffy bag) in which to return the goods to us. In such event you must make the goods available on request and promptly return any goods using any such package, or having the goods posted or couriered back to us. If you fail to return the goods to us, we may charge you our direct costs of collecting the goods from you. Until you return the goods to us you must hold the goods and take reasonable care of them, and if you send the goods back to us you must ensure that they are received by us and are not damaged in transit, otherwise your right of cancellation will cease. If you are not able to return the goods in a condition consistent with your having taken reasonable care of them, or with all packaging and other items supplied with the goods, we may charge you for any reduction in value of the goods as a result.

11.5 When do I receive my refund?

If you decide to cancel, we will refund you within 30 days of the date that you cancel, or if later, within 30 days of return of the goods to us, less any direct costs in recovering the goods which we are entitled to charge you, and less any other amounts that we are entitled to charge you under this Clause 11.
