2 YOUR STATUS
2.1 By placing an order through our Website, you confirm that:
2.1.1 you are legally capable of entering into binding contracts; and
2.1.2 you are at least 18 years old.
2.2 If you do not comply with any of the above conditions in Condition 2.1 you are not entitled to purchase Products from our Website.
3 HOW THE CONTRACT IS FORMED BETWEEN YOU AND US
3.1 After placing an order for Product(s), you will receive an e-mail from us acknowledging that we have received your order. Please note that this does not mean that your order has been accepted. Your order constitutes an offer to us to buy a Product. All orders are subject to acceptance by us, and we will confirm such acceptance to you by sending you an e-mail that confirms that the Product has been dispatched (“Dispatch Confirmation”). The contract between us for the purchase of Product(s) (“Contract”) will only be formed when we send you the Dispatch Confirmation.
3.2 The Contract will relate only to those Products whose dispatch we have confirmed in the Dispatch Confirmation. We will not be obliged to supply any other Products which may have been part of your order until the dispatch of such Products has been confirmed in a separate Dispatch Confirmation.
4 CANCELLATION RIGHTS
4.1 If you are contracting as a consumer and you have purchased Products you may cancel a Contract at any time within seven working days, beginning on the day after you received the Products. In this case, you will receive a full refund of the price paid for the Products in accordance with our refunds policy (set out in Condition 8 below).
4.2 To cancel a Contract, you must inform us in writing to the address specified in Condition 13. You must also return the Products to us as soon as reasonably practicable, and at your own cost. You have a legal obligation to take reasonable care of the Products while they are in your possession. We reserve the right to refuse to accept the cancellation and return of any products which have not been treated with such reasonable care. We may also have a right of action against you for compensation.
4.3 Details of your statutory right of cancellation, and an explanation of how to exercise it, are also provided in the Dispatch Confirmation.
5 AVAILABILITY & DELIVERY
Your order will be fulfilled by the delivery date set out in the Dispatch Confirmation or, if no delivery date is specified, then within 30 days of the date of the Dispatch Confirmation, unless there are exceptional circumstances.
6 RISK & TITLE
6.1 The Products will be at your risk from the time of delivery.
6.2 Ownership of the Products will only pass to you when we receive full payment of all sums due in respect of the Products, including delivery charges.
7 PRICE & PAYMENT
7.1 The price of the Products and our delivery charges will be as quoted on our Website from time to time, except in cases of obvious error.
7.2 Product prices include VAT.
7.3 Product prices and delivery charges are liable to change at any time, but changes will not affect orders in respect of which we have already sent you a Dispatch Confirmation.
7.4 Our Website contains a large number of Products and it is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the Products listed on our Website may be incorrectly priced. We will normally verify prices as part of our dispatch procedures so that, where a Product’s correct price is less than our stated price, we will charge the lower amount when dispatching the Product to you. If a Product’s correct price is higher than the price stated on our Website, we will normally, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before dispatching the Product, or reject your order and notify you of such rejection.
7.5 We are under no obligation to provide the Product to you at the incorrect (lower) price, even after we have sent you a Dispatch Confirmation, if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as an error.
7.6 Payment for all Products must be by credit or debit card. We will not charge your credit or debit card until we dispatch your order.
8 REFUND POLICY
8.1 If you return a Product to us:
8.1.1 because you have cancelled the Contract between us within the seven working-day cooling-off period (see Condition 4.1 above), we will process the refund due to you as soon as possible and, in any case, within 30 days of the day you gave notice of cancellation. In this case, we will refund the price of the Product in full, and any applicable delivery charges. However, you will be responsible for the cost of returning the item to us; or
8.1.2 for any other reason (for instance, because you have notified us in accordance with Condition 19 that you do not agree to a change in these terms and conditions or in any of our policies, or in accordance with your statutory rights because you consider that the Product is defective), we will examine the returned Product and will notify you of your refund via e-mail within a reasonable period of time. We will usually process the refund due to you as soon as possible and, in any case, within 30 days of the day we confirmed to you via e-mail that you were entitled to a refund. We will refund the price of a defective Product in full, any applicable delivery charges and any reasonable costs you incur in returning the item to us.
8.2 We will usually refund any money received from you using the same method originally used by you to pay for your purchase.
9 WARRANTY
9.1 Subject to the disclaimers set out in Condition 9.2, we promise to you that any Product purchased from us through our Website will be of satisfactory quality, and be reasonably fit for all the purposes for which products of that kind are commonly supplied at the time of delivery. This warranty will not override or supersede any continuing manufacturer warranty or guarantee provided by a manufacturer in relation to the Product(s).
9.2 We shall have no liability under the warranty set out at Condition 9.1 to the extent that any damage or defect results from:
9.2.1 a modification or alteration of the Products by anyone other than us;

9.4 We recommend that you use qualified professionals for the fitting of our Products.
