Please ensure that you read these Terms and conditions carefully, and check that the details in the Order and in these Terms are complete and accurate, before you submit the Order. If you think that there is a mistake, please contact us to discuss and please make sure that you ask us to confirm any changes in writing or by email to avoid any confusion between us.
2.3 When you submit an Order to us, whether or not we issue an acknowledgment of your Order, this does not mean we have accepted your order for Goods and/or Services.

2.4 These Terms will only become binding on you and us when we accept your Order (which may be deemed to be the case if, even though we have not informed you that your Order has been accepted, the Goods are dispatched for delivery to you or the Goods are collected by you or your agent or we notify you that the Goods are ready for delivery or collection). At this time, the Contract shall come into existence and there shall be no Contract between us until this time. The Order for Services shall only be deemed to be accepted by us when we issue a written or emailed acceptance of the Order at which point and on which date the Contract shall come into existence.
2.5 If any of these Terms conflict with any term of the Order, these Terms will take priority.

3. STANDARDS FOR THE GOODS

However, the Warranty will not apply in the circumstances described in clause 3.2 and will not include against us any liabilities, costs, expenses, damages and losses (including any direct, indirect or consequential losses, loss of profit, loss of reputation and all interest, penalties and legal and other professional costs and expenses) suffered or incurred by you in connection with any warranty claim made.

3.3 The Goods are described in the Order as modified by any applicable Goods Specification. The images of the Goods on our website and which may be emailed to you are for illustrative purposes only. Although we have made every effort to display the Goods accurately, your Goods may vary slightly from those images.

4. YOUR RIGHT TO RETURN THE GOODS
Returning materially defective Goods
4.1 These clauses 4.1 and 4.2 set out your right to return any Goods which we have delivered to you (whether you are a consumer or a business) which do not comply with the Warranty during the Warranty Period.
4.2 If you contact us and inform us, within a reasonable time of discovering the same, that the Goods delivered to you do not comply with the Warranty, and you are still within your Warranty Period, then we will (at our sole discretion) either repair or replace the defective Goods, or refund the price of the defective Goods in full (together with any applicable delivery charges and any reasonable costs you incur in returning the item to us). When you contact us, you will need to ensure that you complete the “Return Application Form” (a copy of this can be obtained from us upon request). However, before we repair/replace your Goods or give you a refund:
4.2.1 you must return such Goods to us and provide us with detailed information of the alleged defect. If we have offered to collect the Goods from you, we will collect the Goods from the address to which they were delivered. We will contact you to arrange a suitable time for collection; and
4.2.2 we (and/or our suppliers, manufacturers, reconditioners or subcontractors) must be given a reasonable opportunity to examine such Goods to verify any defects (and such defects must in fact be verified). We may deduct from your refund any reduction in the value of the Goods as a result of you having Ordered the Goods, or the Goods having been in your possession.
Returning non-materially defective Goods
4.3 These clauses 4.3 and 4.4 set out your right to return any Goods which we have delivered to you (whether you are a consumer or a business) for any reason, save that this right shall not apply to Special Order Goods or Exchanged Goods.
4.4 If, within seven days of the date of delivery of the Goods, you contact us and inform us you wish to return the Goods for any reason, then we will refund the price of the Goods less our handling/restocking charge at 20% (though you will be responsible for all costs of returning the Goods to us and these return costs will not be subsidized by ourselves). When you contact us, you will need to ensure that you complete the “Return Application Form” (a copy of this can be obtained from us upon request. However, before we give you a refund:
4.4.1 you must return such Goods to us, without undue delay and in any event not later than seven days after the day on which you let us know that you wish to return the Goods. If we have offered to collect the Goods from you at your cost, we will collect the Goods from the address to which they were delivered. We will contact you to arrange a suitable time for collection; and
4.4.2 we (and/or our suppliers, manufacturers, reconditioners or subcontractors) must be given a reasonable opportunity to examine such Goods to verify that such Goods have not been returned with any defects and must be returned in a state fit for resale.
Special Order Goods
4.5 Certain Goods are not kept in stock by us, but rather are Goods which need to be specially procured when an Order is received by us ("Special Order Goods"). Special Order Goods include, without limitation, goods that are made to specifications supplied by you. We will, as a matter of good practice, attempt to inform you when you are ordering a Special Order Good, though this may not always be practical.
4.6 Once you have placed an Order for Special Order Goods with us and the order has been confirmed and processed then you will be unable to cancel as we will have proceeded to purchase your Special Order Goods from our suppliers, manufacturers, reconditioners or subcontractors. Under no circumstances if you cancel after the Special Order Goods have been confirmed and processed you will not be entitled to any refunds.
Exchanged Goods
4.8 We may sell Goods to you on condition that you supply equipment for reconditioning to us ("Exchanged Goods"). We will take a surcharge from you ("Surcharge") to secure a later delivery of the Exchanged Goods and/or to cover the situation where the Exchanged Goods are not complete or cannot be economically reconditioned.
4.9 Subject to clause 4.10 and 4.11, and you having completed the appropriate returns form(s) once we receive the Exchange Goods these will be inspected by us or our supplier, manufacturer, reconditioner or subcontractors and once determined if suitable for exchange we shall refund the Surcharge livered to us by you within 14 days after confirmation. If we do not receive a Surcharge unit within 30 days or by the terms set out by our supplier, manufacturer, reconditioner or subcontractors then you will automatically forfeit the Surcharge and no refund will be given. After this time, you will no longer be required to send us the Exchanged Goods. If for any reason you cannot return the item for any reason within the 30 days then special permission will have to be gained from us to return a unit for inspection after this period has passed. All Exchanged Goods must be returned at your cost.
4.10 On or within a reasonable period of delivery of the Exchanged Goods to us, and if, acting reasonably, we consider the Exchanged Goods to not be complete or that such goods cannot be economically reconditioned, we may, by giving notice to you, retain the Surcharge and return the Exchanged Goods to you (delivery costs will be payable by yourself).
4.11 If the unit you supply to us can be reconditioned but has to have further reconditioning outside of our usual scope of reconditioning we will contact you to inform you of any extra costs before we proceed for your confirmation. Once agreed any extra costs outside the scope will be chargeable and deducted from your surcharge before this is refunded.

19. OTHER IMPORTANT TERMS
19.1 We may transfer or subcontract our rights and obligations under these Terms to another organisation, but this will not affect your rights or our obligations under these Terms. If you are a business we may also assign, charge or deal in any other manner with our rights under the Contract.
19.2 The Contract is between you and us and you shall not, without our prior written consent, assign, transfer, charge, subcontract or deal in any other manner with all or any of your rights or obligations under the Contract. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms.

19.3 Each of the paragraphs of these Terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.
19.4 If we fail to insist that you perform any of your obligations under these Terms, or if we do not enforce our rights against you, or if we delay in doing so, that will not mean that we have waived our rights against you and will not mean that you do not have to comply with those obligations. No single or partial exercise of our rights shall restrict the further exercise of that right or any other remedy. If we do waive a default by you, we will only do so in writing, and that will not mean that we will automatically waive any later default by you.

19.6 Nothing in these Terms, or under the Contract is intended to, or shall be deemed to, constitute a partnership or joint venture of any kind between you and us, nor constitute any party the agent of the other for any purpose. Neither you nor us shall have authority to act as agent for, or to bind, the other in any way.
19.7 This clause 19.7 only applies if you are a consumer. Please note that these Terms are governed by English law. This means a Contract for the purchase of Goods and/or Services and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with it will be governed by English law. You and we both agree to that the courts of England and Wales will have non-exclusive jurisdiction. However, if you are a resident of Northern Ireland you may also bring proceedings in Northern Ireland, and if you are a resident of Scotland, you may also bring proceedings in Scotland.
