  1. Consumer Sales

If you are not buying the products for any commercial, business or re-sale purpose then in the event of any conflict the terms in this section will apply instead of the payment, cancellation and liability sections of the above conditions of business which apply to business customers.

 

  1. Payment

    1. The deposit shown on the quotation must be paid for when you place your order.

    2. The balance of the price for the products and the delivery charges must be paid for before the products are delivered.  If you do not pay the balance of the price within 7 days after we notify you that the products are ready for dispatch we may:

      1. cancel the contract but keep the deposit or

      2. claim the balance plus any legal costs and expenses in recovering the amount due.

 

  1. Cancellation

    4. On receipt of the products we will refund the total value of your order (including delivery charges) within 14 days.

    5. We may reduce your refund of the price (excluding delivery costs) to reflect any reduction in the value of the products, if this has been caused by your handling them in a way which would not be permitted in a shop.

 

  1. Liability

    1. If we fail to comply with these terms, we are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breaking the contract, but we are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable.  Loss or damage is foreseeable if either it is obvious that it will happen or if, at the time the contract was made, both we and you knew it might happen, for example, if you discussed it with us during the sales process.

    2. We do not exclude or limit in any way our liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so.  This includes: liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors; for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; for breach of your legal rights in relation to the products including the right to receive products which are: as described and match information we provided to you; of satisfactory quality and fit for any particular purpose made known to us.

    3. Except in the above situations our liability is limited to the value of the order for all claims for breach of contract or anything else.
