2. Description and Specification of Products
- All the Products we sell are of a technical nature and it is not always practical or possible to publish detailed specifications of all the Products. All images, descriptive matter, specifications, and advertising on our Website are for the sole purpose of giving an approximate description of the Products. Full detailed specifications are available from the manufacturers themselves. Please also note that certain colors may look different from the actual color of the Products when displayed on an electronic device.
- We reserve the right to make changes to the specification of the Products without notifying you if this is needed to conform to any applicable safety, legal or regulatory requirements.
- We do not represent or warrant that particular Products will be available. If the Products are not available, then clause 2.4 will apply.
3. Price and Payment
- The price of the Products will be shown on our Website or notified to you by telephone at the time of your Order. Our prices may change at any time but this will not affect any Orders that we have already accepted.
- We have made every reasonable effort to ensure that the prices we show are correct. If we find or are made aware of, any typographical or other accidental errors or omissions, we will make every reasonable effort to correct these as soon as possible.
- If there is an obvious pricing error, we will be under no obligation to provide the Products to you at the incorrect (lower) price, even after we have sent you an Order Confirmation, if the price error is unmistakable and you could have reasonably recognized it as mispricing. We will check the prices when we process your Order.
- Delivery charges are free and included in the price of the Products. Delivery options and any related charges will be presented to you as part of the Order process.
- Payment for the Products and any related delivery charges must be made at the time of Order and you will be prompted to pay during the Order process.
- All payments made over the telephone or via the Website will be processed via a payment gateway provider, such as PayPal. No credit or debit card information is provided to us and completion of the transaction will be subject to you agreeing to the payment gateway provider’s terms and conditions, under a separate contractual relationship. We cannot be held liable for any errors, actions, omissions, or incorrect charges that they may make, as a third party.
4. Delivery & Refused Deliveries
- We will send you an email confirmation notifying you when the Order has been dispatched. In any event, Orders will be delivered within 1-3 days after the date of our Order Confirmation unless otherwise agreed or specified during the Order process (subject to delays caused by events outside of our control – see clause 10).
- Orders will be delivered by courier and you will be required to sign for the delivery. If no one is available at your delivery address to receive the Products, then we may need to charge for the re-delivery. If your order has not arrived by the estimated delivery date, please contact us in writing as soon as possible so we can investigate.
- If there are likely to be any delivery restrictions to your chosen address, please contact us before placing your order, as this may incur additional costs.
- In the unlikely event that we fail to deliver the Products within 5 working days of our Order Confirmation (or as otherwise agreed under clause 4.1), you may treat the Contract as being at an end immediately if we have refused to deliver your Products; or in light of all relevant circumstances, delivery within that time period was essential; or you told us when ordering the Products that delivery within that time period was essential.
- If you do not wish to cancel under clause 4.4 or none of those circumstances apply, you may specify a new (reasonable) delivery date. If we fail to meet the new deadline, you may then treat the Contract as being at an end.
- Delivery will be deemed to have taken place when the Products have been delivered to the delivery address indicated in your Order and you (or someone identified by you) have taken physical possession of the Products. If you have nominated a safe place in which the courier can leave the Products without a signature, delivery will be deemed to have taken place when the Products are delivered to this safe place.
- The responsibility (sometimes referred to as the “risk”) for the Products remains with us until delivery is complete as defined in clause 4.6, at which point it will pass to you.
- If you refuse to accept delivery of your item/s and the courier has to send it back to our warehouse, you will be charged a £ 25-pound restocking fee plus any other shipping-related charges and refunded the remaining amount paid.
5. Faulty, Damaged, or Incorrect Products
- By law, we must provide Products that are of satisfactory quality, fit for purpose, as described at the time of purchase, in accordance with any pre-contract information we have provided, and that match any samples that you have seen or examined (unless we have made you aware of any differences). If there is a problem with a Product you purchased from us, you should refer to the user’s reference manual for assistance in the first instance. However, if any Products you have purchased do not comply and, for example, have faults or are damaged when you receive them, or if you receive incorrect (or incorrectly priced) Products, please contact us as soon as reasonably possible to inform us of the fault, damage or error, and to arrange for the following remedy/remedies:
- Beginning on the day that you receive the Products (and ownership of them) you have a 14 calendar day right to reject the Products and to receive a full refund if they do not conform as stated above.
- If you do not wish to reject the Products, or if the 14 calendar day rejection period has expired, you may request a replacement. We will bear any associated costs and will provide the replacement within a reasonable time and without significant inconvenience to you. In certain circumstances, where a replacement is impossible or otherwise disproportionate, we may instead offer you a full refund. If you request a replacement during the 14 calendar day rejection period, that period will be suspended while we provide the replacement and will resume on the day that you receive the replacement Products. If less than 7 calendar days remain out of the original period, it will be extended to 7 calendar days.
- If, after replacement, the Products still do not conform (or if we have failed to act within a reasonable time or without significant inconvenience to you), you may have the right either to keep the Products at a reduced price, or reject them in exchange for a refund.
- If you exercise the final right to reject the Products more than six months after you have received the Products, we may reduce any refund to reflect the use that you have had out of the Products.
- Within a period of six years after you have received the Products, if the Products do not last a reasonable length of time, you may be entitled to a partial refund. However, after six months have passed since you received the Products, you will need to prove that the defect or non-conformity existed at the time of delivery.
- Please note that you will not be eligible to claim under this clause 6 if we informed you of the fault(s), damage, or other problems with the Products before you purchased them (and it is because of the same issue that you now wish to return them – please refer to clause 5.3); if you have purchased the Products for an unsuitable purpose that is neither obvious nor made known to us and the problem has resulted from your use of the Products for that purpose; or if the problem is the result of normal wear and tear, failure to use the Products in accordance with the manufacturer’s guidance, misuse or intentional or careless damage. Please also note that you may not return Products to us under clause 5 merely because you have changed your mind – please refer to clause 6 for this.
- Where the Products are Refurbished, we specify various grades for them, which you are deemed to have accepted, as Refurbished A Grade Products – Excellent condition used little or with no scratches (however it is not guaranteed to be mark-free due to being an open Product).
- To return Products to us for any reason under this clause 6, please contact us to arrange for the return. We will be fully responsible for the costs of returning Products under clause 6 and will reimburse you where appropriate.
- Refunds will be issued using the same payment method that you used when ordering the Products (unless you specifically request that we use a different method) within 7-14 days of the day on which we agree that you are entitled to the refund and will include all delivery costs paid by you when the Products were originally purchased.
6. Cancelling and Returning Products if You Change Your Mind
- If the Products are being delivered to you in a single installment, the legal cooling-off period ends 14 calendar days after the day on which you (or someone you nominate) receive(s) the Products. If the Products are being delivered in separate installments on separate days, the legal cooling-off period ends 14 calendar days after the day on which you (or someone you nominate) receive(s) the final installment of Products.
- If you wish to exercise your right to cancel under clause 5, you must inform us of your decision within the cooling-off period. You may do so in any way you wish, but for your convenience, we offer a cancellation form on our Website. Cancellation by email or by post is effective from the date on which you send us your message. Please note that the cooling-off period lasts for whole calendar days. If, for example, you send us an email or letter by 23:59:59 on the final day of the cooling-off period, your cancellation will be valid and accepted.
- Please note that you may lose your legal right to cancel under clause 6 if the Products have been personalized or custom-made for you.
- Please ensure that you return Products to us no more than 14 calendar days after the day on which you informed us of your wish to cancel under clause 5.
- You may return Products to us by post or another suitable delivery service of your choice. Please contact us to obtain details of the returns address. Please note that you must bear the costs of returning Products to us if canceling under clause 6. We will reimburse standard delivery charges in full as part of your refund. However, we cannot reimburse you for premium delivery.
- Refunds will be issued to you within 7-14 calendar days from:
- the day on which we receive the Products back; or
- if we have not yet provided an Order Confirmation or have not yet dispatched the Products, the day on which you inform us that you wish to cancel the Contract.
- Refunds may be reduced for any diminished value in the Products resulting from your excessive handling of them (e.g. more than would be permitted in a shop). If we issue a refund before we have received the Products and have had a chance to inspect them, we may subsequently charge you an appropriate sum if we find that the Products have been handled excessively.
- Refunds under clause 6 will be made using the same payment method that you used when ordering the Products unless you specifically request that we make a refund using a different method.
7. Cancellations by Us
- We may cancel your Order at any time before we despatch the Products to you if the Products are no longer in stock and we are unable to re-stock (if, for example, the Products are discontinued); or If an event outside of our control occurs (please see clause 10).
- If we cancel your Order and you have already paid for the Products under clause 4, we will confirm this in writing and will refund the payment to you within 14 days.
8. Guarantee and Warranty
- We will pass on the benefit of any manufacturer’s warranty or guarantee, where applicable. This exists in addition to your legal rights as a Consumer, where applicable.

- A product that has been modified or altered;

- Accidental damage like breaking the screen or spilling liquid on it. You would need independent insurance to cover this;
- Used batteries or other consumable items, such as these, are expected to degrade over time and may require replacement.
- For any Product under warranty, please contact us in the first instance. Please do not return any Product to us without our prior confirmation. We reserve the right to repair or replace the defective Product under warranty as we see appropriate.
- This clause is in addition to your rights under clause 6 where appropriate.
9. Our Liability
- We will be responsible for any foreseeable loss or damage that you may suffer as a result of our breach of these Terms and Conditions or as a result of our negligence or breach of contract.

We will not be responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable.
- Under no circumstances will we be liable to you for any loss of profit, loss of business, interruption to business, or for any loss of business opportunity whatsoever.
10. Events Outside of Our Control (Force Majeure)

Such causes include, but are not limited to power failure, internet service provider failure, industrial action, civil unrest, fire, flood, storms, earthquakes, subsidence, acts of terrorism or war, governmental action, pandemic, other natural disasters, or any other event that is beyond our control.
