3.2 Occasionally, we advertise goods at a promotional price; in this instance you must quote the relevant promotion code, otherwise you may be charged the full price.

3.3 Occasionally, an error may occur and goods may be either incorrectly priced or described in which case we will not be obliged to supply the goods at the incorrect price or in accordance with the incorrect description or at all. We reserve the right to correct any errors from time to time. We will (at our discretion) either cancel your order and refund the price you have paid or use reasonable endeavours to contact you and ask you whether you wish to continue with the order at the correct price or description. If we are unable to contact you or you do not wish to continue with the order at the correct price or description, we will cancel your order and refund the price you have paid.

3.4 We must receive payment for the whole of the price of the goods you order and purchase, and any applicable charges for delivery, before your order can be processed unless we have agreed otherwise in advance in writing.

3.5 For Website orders, payment can be made by most major credit or debit cards or PayPal by completing the relevant details on the checkout page.

3.6 By using a credit or debit card to pay for your order or purchase, you confirm that the card being used is yours or that you are authorised to use it.

3.7 All credit or debit card holders are subject to validation checks and authorisation by the card issuer. If the issuer of the card refuses to authorise payment we will not accept your order or purchase, we will not be obliged to inform you of the reason for the refusal, and we will not be liable for the item not being delivered or provided to you. We are not responsible for the card issuer or bank charging the holder of the card as a result of our processing of your credit/debit card payment in accordance with your order or purchase.

3.8 We recommend that you do not communicate your payment card details and password to anyone, including us, by email.

4. Delivery & Title

4.1 We will aim to deliver the goods in accordance with your order usually within the stated delivery time (except in exceptional circumstances) but not more than 14 days after the day you place your order, unless otherwise agreed between you and us, subject always to clause 5 and 13. In addition to your rights under clause 5 and 13, in the unlikely event that we do not make the goods available to you within 30 days of placing your order you will have the option of cancelling your order by notifying us accordingly prior to shipments..

4.2 Before placing your order, please refer to the delivery options set out on our website to ensure that we can deliver to your address. A valid signature may be required on collection or delivery. In the unlikely event that you have not received all the goods within the stated delivery time, you must notify us immediately. We strongly suggest that you do not schedule or commence any installation work until after you have received your order and checked all the goods are suitable for your purposes and do not have any defects or missing parts.

4.3 For reasons of health and safety and to avoid any property damage, items can only be delivered to the exterior of a ground floor location at the delivery address. You must therefore make your own arrangements at your own risk if the relevant item needs to be transported from the delivery location. We will not provide any unpacking, installation or fitting services upon delivery unless otherwise agreed by us in writing.

4.4 You must do all that you reasonably can to enable delivery to take place at the given time and place. If you delay delivery, or delivery fails because you have not taken appropriate steps, we will try to arrange for an alternative delivery date within 30 days of the failed delivery. If delivery fails as a result of circumstances within your reasonable control, the cost of any re-delivery shall be borne by you. If we are unable to arrange a date for re-delivery we may cancel your order and refund to you the price that you have paid less delivery charges.

4.5 Without prejudice to clause 4.4, upon delivery of the goods to you or collection of the goods by you, the goods shall be at your risk and responsibility. In spite of delivery or collection, ownership (also known as “title”) in the goods shall not pass to you until you have paid the price for the goods in full and, where other sums payable to us from you are overdue, you have paid those sums too. Until title in the goods passes from us to you, you shall: (i) not be entitled to use the goods; (ii) safely hold the goods for us; (iii) return the goods to us immediately if we ask you to; and (iv) be liable to us for any loss, damage or destruction of the goods. In addition, until title in the goods passes from us to you, you shall store the goods at your own cost separately from all other goods in your possession and marked in such a way that they are clearly identified as our property. You grant us an irrevocable licence to enter, with or without vehicles, any of your premises for the purpose of inspecting or repossessing the goods.

5. Availability

5.1 All goods are subject to availability. While we endeavour to hold sufficient stock to meet all orders and purchases, if we have insufficient stock to supply or deliver the goods ordered and paid for by you, we will attempt to contact you using the details you have provided to us to ask you how you wish to proceed. We may, at our discretion, process any part of the order which is available. Where goods are out of stock, we will refund you the price paid for such goods as soon as possible and in any case within 30 days or, in the case of an account customer, we may, in our absolute discretion, as soon as possible raise a credit to offset the amount invoiced to you.

5.2 We work hard to ensure that we have sufficient stock to meet all of our customers’ needs; to achieve this, we may restrict sales of certain goods from time to time. Where we believe that availability does not or may not meet demand, we reserve the right at our sole discretion to vary your order by placing a limit on the volume or number of goods that you order. This limit may be imposed either on a single order of goods or on a series of orders for goods, and may be notified to you at the time of placing the order, before delivery or collection or at collection.

6. Manufacturer’s Warranties & Guarantees

6.1 Some of our goods are sold with a manufacturer’s warranty, guarantee or similar assurance (please see the relevant product description on our website for further details). Any complaint, query or claim under a manufacturer’s warranty, guarantee or similar assurance must be made direct to the manufacturer and we do not have any responsibility or liability under or in connection with any such warranty, guarantee or assurance.

6.2 Any manufacturer’s warranty, guarantee or similar assurance applies in addition to your legal rights if you are a consumer.

6.3 Some products may feature an extended manufacturer’s warranty. These need to be registered within 28 days of purchase. See the product documentation for more information.

7. Cancellation, Returns & Refunds Cancellation

7.1 You may cancel your order for any reason for fourteen days after purchase.

7.2 If returning goods in accordance with clause 7.1, you must return goods with all components and also any promotional items received (including free gifts) or discounted additional products. You can return certain goods by post from your local Post Office and larger goods by our carrier pick up service. We may charge a fee for the carrier pick up service; the amount of the fee will depend on the good(s) returned.

7.3 Following the return of any unwanted goods, subject to clause 7.5, we will refund you the price paid for them. We will pay the refund within 14 days after the day:

7.3.1 we receive the goods you returned to us, where you are in receipt of the goods; or

7.3.2 you provide us with a proof of return for the goods, where you have returned the goods, but we have not yet received them.

7.4 We will refund you using the same means of payment as you used to pay for your order or purchase.

7.5 We reserve the right to make a deduction from the amount of the refund for loss in value of the goods returned where the goods show signs of unreasonable use; for these purposes, unreasonable use includes handling the goods beyond what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods. We will withhold any refund until we have received the goods or you have supplied proof of return for the goods, in accordance with clause 7.3.

7.6 Your right of cancellation does not apply to goods that are cut or mixed to your requirements, made to measure, made to order, made to your specifications or clearly personalised (for example, made to order radiators, pre-assembled kitchens, mixed paint, keyed alike and master keyed locks or embroidery goods). Your right of cancellation does not apply to goods which are not suitable for return due to health protection or hygiene reasons (such as water pumps, toilets and macerators), if you have opened the product packaging after delivery or collection. Boilers which have had the product box/packaging opened cannot be returned for refund or credit.

8. Faulty Goods

8.1 Where the goods are being returned because they are faulty or incorrect, we will meet the cost of return delivery but we ask that you allow us to nominate the carrier.

8.2 Without prejudice to your right to return unwanted items generally under this clause 8, if you have notified us of a problem with the goods within 30 days of delivery or collection, you have a right to reject the goods and receive a full refund, or alternatively we will endeavour to provide a replacement.

8.3 If an item develops a fault within six months of delivery or collection, we may offer a repair or replacement of the item, or offer a price reduction or refund. If the product is to be repaired, and the manufacturer has provided a helpline, repair service or warranty, we may ask you to make contact with the manufacturer direct or we can do this on your behalf. If there is no such service or warranty with the product, in most instances we will either offer a repair or where this is not possible we will replace the item with the same or an equivalent model.
