9 YOUR RIGHTS TO END THE CONTRACT
9.1 You can always end your contract with us. Your rights when you end the contract will depend on what you have bought, whether there is anything wrong with it, how we are performing, when you decide to end the contract and whether you are a consumer or business customer:
9.1.1 If what you have bought is faulty or misdescribed you may have a legal right to end the contract (or to get the product repaired or replaced or a service re performed or to get some or all of your money back), see clause 13 if you are a consumer and clause 14 for details of your warranty;
9.1.2 If you want to end the contract because of something we have done or have told you we are going to do, see clause 9.2;
9.1.3 If you are a consumer and have just changed your mind about the product, see clause 9.3. You may be able to get a refund if you are within the cooling-off period, but this may be subject to deductions and you will have to pay the costs of return of any products;
9.1.4 In all other cases (if we are not at fault and you are not a consumer exercising your right to change your mind), see clause 9.6.
9.2 Ending the contract because of something we have done or are going to do. If you are ending a contract for a reason set out at 9.2.1 to 9.2.5 below the contract will end immediately and we will refund you in full for any products which have not been provided and you may also be entitled to compensation. The reasons are:
9.2.1 we have told you about an upcoming change to the product or these terms which you do not agree to (see clause 7.2);
9.2.2 we have told you about an error in the price or description of the product you have ordered and you do not wish to proceed;
9.2.3 there is a risk that supply of the products may be significantly delayed because of events outside our control;
9.2.4 we have suspended supply of the products for technical reasons, or notify you we are going to suspend them for technical reasons, in each case for a period of more than 4 weeks; or
9.2.5 you have a legal right to end the contract because of something we have done wrong.
9.3 Exercising your right to change your mind if you are a consumer (Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013). If you are a consumer then for most products bought online, by email, by mail order or over the telephone you have a legal right to change your
7
mind within 14 days and receive a refund. These rights, under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, are explained in more detail in these terms.
9.4 When consumers do not have a right to change their minds. Your right as a consumer to change your mind does not apply in respect of:
9.4.1 Bespoke Products;
9.4.2 products sealed for health protection or hygiene purposes, once these have been unsealed after you receive them; and
9.4.3 any products which become mixed inseparably with other items after their delivery.
9.5 How long do consumers have to change their minds? If you are a consumer you have 14 days after the day you (or someone you nominate) receives the goods, unless your goods are split into several deliveries over different days. In this case you have until 14 days after the day you (or someone you nominate) receives the last delivery.
9.6 Ending the contract where we are not at fault and there is no right to change your mind (excluding Bespoke Products). Even if we are not at fault and you are not a consumer who has a right to change their mind (see clause 9.1), you can still end the contract before it is completed, but you may have to pay us compensation. A contract for goods is completed when the product is delivered and paid for. If you want to end a contract before it is completed where we are not at fault and you are not a consumer who has changed their mind, just contact us to let us know. The contract will end immediately and we will refund any sums paid by you for products not provided but we may deduct from that refund (or, if you have not made an advance payment, charge you) reasonable compensation for the net costs we will incur as a result of your ending the contract.
9.7 Ending the contract for Bespoke Products where we are not at fault and there is no right to change your mind. If we are not at fault and you wish to end the contract for Bespoke Products before it is completed, you must pay us compensation. A contract for Bespoke Products is completed when the Bespoke Product is delivered and paid for. If you want to end a contract for a Bespoke Product before it is completed where we are not at fault, just contact us to let us know. The contract will end immediately and we will refund any sums paid by you for products not provided. However, we will retain 50% of the price of the Bespoke Products as compensation for the net costs we will incur as a result of you doing so.

10.5.2 The maximum refund for delivery costs will be the costs of delivery by the least expensive delivery method we offer.

The price of the product (which includes VAT) will be the price as told to you in person, over the telephone or by email, and as set out in the Order Confirmation. We take all reasonable care to ensure that the price of the product advised to you is correct. However please see clause 15.3 for what happens if we discover an error in the price of the product you order.
15.2 We will pass on changes in the rate of VAT. If the rate of VAT changes between your order date and the date we supply the product, we will adjust the rate of VAT that you pay, unless you have already paid for the product in full before the change in the rate of VAT takes effect.
15.3 What happens if we got the price wrong. It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the products we sell may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices before accepting your order so that, where the product's correct price at your order date is less than our stated price at your order date, we will charge the lower amount. If the product's correct price at your order date is higher than the price stated to you, we will contact you for your instructions before we accept your order. If we accept and process your order where a pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could reasonably have been recognised by you as a mispricing, we may end the contract, refund you any sums you have paid and require the return of any goods provided to you.

15.6 Our right of set-off if you are a business customer. If you are a business customer you must pay all amounts due to us under these terms in full without any set-off, counterclaim, deduction or withholding (other than any deduction or withholding of tax as required by law).
15.7 We can charge interest if you pay late. If you do not make any payment to us by the due date we may charge interest to you on the overdue amount at the rate of 5% a year above the base lending rate of the Bank of England from time to time. This interest shall accrue on a daily basis from the due date until the date of actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgment. You must pay us interest together with any overdue amount.
15.8 What to do if you think an invoice is wrong. If you think an invoice is wrong please contact us promptly to let us know. You will not have to pay any interest until the dispute is resolved. Once the dispute is resolved we will charge you interest on correctly invoiced sums from the original due date.

18 HOW WE MAY USE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

19 OTHER IMPORTANT TERMS
19.1 We may transfer this Agreement to someone else. We may transfer our rights and obligations under these terms to another organisation. We will always tell you in writing if this happens and we will ensure that the transfer will not affect your rights under the contract.
19.2 You need our consent to transfer your rights to someone else. You may only transfer your rights or your obligations under these terms to another person if we agree to this in writing.
19.3 Nobody else has any rights under this contract. 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.
19.4 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.
19.5 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.
19.6 Which laws apply to this contract and where you may bring legal proceedings if you are a consumer. 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 in either the Scottish or the English
16
courts. If you live in Northern Ireland you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the products in either the Northern Irish or the English courts.
19.7 Which laws apply to this contract and where you may bring legal proceedings if you are a business. If you are a business, any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with a contract between us or its subject matter or formation (including non contractual disputes or claims) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of England and Wales and the courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any such dispute or claim.
