Please read the following important terms and conditions before you buy anything from us over the telephone or at our premises and check that they contain everything which you want and nothing that you are not willing to agree to. These are the terms and conditions referred to on the front of our invoices for goods sold to you.
Summary of some of your key rights:
By law, the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013, SI2013/3134 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. You may cancel your order before we despatch the goods by contacting us. If you have paid the price for the goods (in whole or in part) under Clause 7, the payment will be refunded to you within 7 days. This does not apply to bespoke or customised goods or goods which are specially made for you to your own description and specification. We will only accept an order cancellation for such goods if we have not yet begun making or altering the goods.
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
up to six years: if the goods do not last a reasonable length of time, you may be entitled to some money back.
However, see Clause 8.7 about the need to treat goods with appropriate preservatives and the exception to the above rights to a total or partial refund if the goods become infected or contaminated after delivery;

2 INFORMATION WE GIVE YOU
2.1 By law, the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 say that we must give you certain key information before a legally binding contract between you and us is made (see the summary box below). We will give you this information in a clear and understandable way. Typically we will do this in store before you buy the goods from us. Some of this information is likely to be obvious from the context.

2.3 If we have to change any key information once a legally binding contract between you and us is made, we can only do this if you agree to it.
3 ORDERING GOODS FROM US
3.1 Below, we set out how a legally binding contract between you and us is made:
3.1.1 Any quotation given by us before you make an order for goods is not a binding offer by us to supply such goods.
3.1.2 When you decide to place an order for goods with us, this is when you offer to buy such goods from us.
3.1.3 When you place your order with us, we will acknowledge it in store by either orally or in writing or by email. In the case of an order placed over the telephone we will acknowledge it by email. This acknowledgement does not, however, mean that your order has been accepted.
3.1.4 We may contact you to say that we do not accept your order. This is typically for the following reasons:
3.1.4.1 the goods are unavailable;
3.1.4.2 we cannot authorise your payment;
3.1.4.3 you are not allowed to buy the goods from us;
3.1.4.4 we are not allowed to sell the goods to you;
3.1.4.5 you have ordered too many goods; or
3.1.4.6 there has been a mistake on the pricing or description of the goods.
3.1.5 We will only accept your order when we email you to confirm this (Confirmation Email) or if we are able to accept it while you are at our premises by the issue of an invoice or till receipt. At this point:
3.1.5.1 a legally binding contract will be in place between you and us; and
3.1.5.2 we will dispatch or hand to you at our premises (whichever is applicable) the goods to you.
3.2 If you are under the age of 18 you may not buy any goods from us.
3.3 If any provision or part of a provision of the contract is found by any court, or other body of competent jurisdiction to be wholly or partly illegal, invalid, void, voidable or unenforceable it shall to the extent of such illegality, invalidity, voidness, voidability or unenforceability be deemed severable and the remaining provisions of the contract and the remainder of such provision shall continue in full force and effect.
3.4 You acknowledge that you do not rely on, and waive any claim for breach of, any representations made by our employees or agents. Any estimate of quantities needed or advice or recommendation as to the suitability or fitness of any goods for any particular purpose given by our employees or agents, is given without liability on our part. You will be entirely responsible for ascertaining the quantities required and the suitability and fitness of the goods for your required purpose.
