    • For new Products, Products held in stock or pre-owned Products. Following signature of the Contact you shall have the right to cancel your order at any time prior to delivery but you will lose any pre-paid Deposit and you will be responsible for paying a restocking fee equal to 20% of the Contract Price, reflecting our losses.
    • For customised Products. Following signature of the Contact you shall have the right to cancel your order at any time prior to delivery but you will lose any pre-paid Deposit and you will be responsible for paying a restocking fee equal to 20% of the Contract Price, reflecting our losses. Once the Product has been delivered, you do not have a right to cancel (this does not affect your statutory rights if the Product is faulty).
    • For Services. You may cancel any ongoing Services or Services not yet performed at any time, however you must pay for any Services already received.
  1. Our Right to CANCEL
    • We may end the Contract if you break it. We may end the Contract for a Product at any time by writing to you if:
      • you do not make any payment to us when it is due, and you still do not make payment within 7 days of us reminding you that payment is due;
      • you do not, within a reasonable time of us asking for it, provide us with information that is necessary for us to provide the Products;
      • you do not, within a reasonable time, allow us to deliver the Products to you or (if applicable) collect them from us, we will treat your order as cancelled and refund you the Contract Price (unless the Product is customised or made to your specification); or
      • you do not, within a reasonable time, allow us access to your premises to supply the Services (if applicable).
    • You must compensate us if you break the Contract. If we end the Contract in the situations set out above, we will retain any deposit or money you have paid in advance for Products we have not provided and we may claim compensation from you for any losses which we have sustained as a result of the delay in payment (for example, Products which we cannot resell because they are customised). The compensation may reflect the entire Contract Price if we cannot resell, and we may also retain an amount of the Deposit already paid.
  1. Your Rights to a Refund
    • We only refund standard delivery costs. We don’t refund any extra you have paid for express delivery or delivery at a particular time.
    • We reduce your refund if you have used or damaged or excessively mishandled a Product. If you mishandle a Product, we reduce your refund, to compensate us for its reduced value. For example, we reduce your refund if the Product’s condition is not “as new”, or if it is in any way damaged or parts are missing. In some cases, because of the way you have treated the Product, no refund may be due. Our Customer Service Team can advise you on whether we’re likely to reduce your refund.
    • When and how we refund you. If you have ordered a Product or Services that haven’t been delivered or performed yet or that we’re collecting from you, we refund you as soon as possible and within 14 days of you telling us you’ve changed your mind. If you are sending the Product back to us, we refund you within 14 days of receiving it back from you (or receiving evidence you’ve sent them to us). We refund you by the method you used for payment.

    • Our right to decline requests to changes. We may decline to make any modification or changes that you request after signing this Contract.
    • Our agreement to changes. If we agree to make modifications or changes which involve us providing additional work, parts, or Services, we will provide you with an estimate of any increase in the Contract Price and the basis on which it is calculated.

      • Terminate the Contract. If any payment remains outstanding 30 days after its due date, then we may, at our option, choose to terminate this Contract and retain any Deposit paid.

    • We aren’t responsible for delays outside of our control. If we are delayed by an event outside our control which affects your order, or there is going to be a delay caused by the fitting of extras, making modifications to the Product or by delays in road or sea delivery, we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and we will take steps to minimise the effect of the delay.

You shall not be entitled to reject the Product on account of Minor Damage or to make any claim in respect of any resultant depreciation.
    • Minor Damage. “Minor Damage” means damage which is not structural, and which can be fully reinstated for a cost not exceeding 10% of the Contract Price. Where the damage is not Minor Damage, you may reject the Product and receive a full refund of the amount of the Deposit and any other advance payments which you have made towards the Product.  This Contract will then terminate in all respects as if it had been duly completed and you shall have no further right to claim against us.

  1. OTHER IMPORTANT LEGAL TERMS
    • We may transfer this Contract to someone else. We may transfer our rights and obligations under these terms to another organisation.

    • We use your personal data as set out in our Privacy Policy. How we use any personal data you give us is set out in our Privacy Policy.
    • You need our consent to transfer your rights to someone else (except that you can always transfer any guarantee or enhanced warranty you purchase). You may only transfer your rights or your obligations under these terms to another person if we agree to this in writing. However, you may transfer our guarantee at clause 1. to a person who has acquired the Product or, where the Product is Services, any item or property in respect of which we have provided the Services.
    • Nobody else has any rights under this Contract. Except as stated in clause 1, this Contract is between you and us. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms. Neither of us will need to get the agreement of any other person in order to end the Contract or make any changes to these terms.
    • If a court finds part of this Contract illegal, the rest will continue in force. 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.
    • Even if we delay in enforcing this Contract, we can still enforce it later. If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking this Contract, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date. For example, if you miss a payment and we do not chase you, but we continue to provide the Products, we can still require you to make the payment at a later date.
    • Which laws apply to this Contract and where you may bring legal proceedings. These terms are governed by English law and you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the Products in the English courts. If you live in Scotland, you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the Products or Services in either the Scottish or the English courts.
