These Terms and Conditions are applicable, to the exclusion of all other terms and conditions, every time you access our website and/or order goods or electronic resources (E-Resources) from our website.
Before proceeding with an order you will be required to show that you have read and understood the following terms and conditions. We recommend that you print a copy of these Terms and Conditions for your future reference.
1. Ownership
1.1 This Site is owned and operated by Claire Warden Limited ( SC422739 ). Our Registered Office and main trading address is at The Old School, Fowlis Wester, Crieff, PH7 3NL, United Kingdom. Our VAT number is GB 243 0567 25
2. Orders
2.1 All orders placed by you through our website will be subject to our acceptance of the order.
2.2 When you submit an order to us on our website you will receive a 'bounce back' confirmatory email of this order saying that we are processing your order. You will then receive a second email from us acknowledging your order and giving you estimated timescales for delivery. You should check both emails for accuracy and let us know immediately if there are any errors. Neither of these emails constitute acceptance of your order by us. Your order will be only accepted by us ( and a contract will then be formed between us ) when we dispatch the goods ordered to you. Title to the goods will pass to you only when payment is received in full.
2.3 Should you wish to cancel your order or return any goods, please see the provisions of Clause 6 below for further information on the required procedure.
2.4 Due to the nature and availability of certain of the Goods advertised on our website, it may be necessary to make product substitutions and we reserve the right to do so. If the substituted product differs in what we consider to be any material way from that ordered by you, we will ordinarily discuss the proposed substitution with you prior to despatch of your order. If you subsequently intimate in writing to us within 7 working days of delivery, that the substituted product is not acceptable, it can be returned to us for a refund, which will include the cost of the return postage.
3. Payment
3.1 For orders placed through this website, credit or debit card details are required at the time your order is placed but your card will not be debited until your order has been despatched.
3.2 Whilst it is our intention to keep our website up to date and error free, product description or pricing errors may occur. If we discover such an error after you have submitted an order to us, we will contact you prior to accepting your order with the correct details. You may then either cancel your order or re-confirm it based on the correct information. If we are unable to contact you, we will treat your order as cancelled.
3.3 All prices shown on our website are [exclusive] of VAT. Delivery charges which are additionally payable are clearly highlighted throughout the site.
4. Delivery
4.1 We aim to deliver your order within 5 working days of our acknowledgement of your order. However, due to the nature of some of our products, delivery may take up to 30 days from such acknowledgement. If delivery is likely to take more than 30 days, we will contact you to discuss delivery and timing.
4.2 Whilst we make every effort to deliver goods on the day we specify, we cannot guarantee delivery on that day or accept liability for deliveries made outside this timescale. This also applies to products sent direct from our manufacturers. We cannot accept liability for out of pocket expenses or other costs incurred due to failed or delayed deliveries.
4.3 All items are subject to stock availability.
4.4 When we deliver your items to you, you may be asked to sign for the goods to acknowledge that you have received them.
4.5 You must inspect the goods supplied by us on delivery and within a reasonable period of time advise us of any alleged shortage in quantity, any defect in the goods supplied, and damage on delivery or any failure to comply with the advertised description of the goods so supplied by us.
5. Part Deliveries / Back Orders
5.1 We will ordinarily attempt to deliver any order in a single shipment. However, due to the nature and availability of some of our products, we reserve the right to make part deliveries. Where any items ordered are not in stock, customers will be given the option of receiving that part of their order where goods are in stock and then the remainder of that order within 14 working days of the date of the customer's order or, if earlier, when those items become available to the Seller. Alternatively, customers can receive their complete order in one delivery when all their goods become available. However, where any product remains out of stock and unavailable following the expiry of 14 working days from the date of the customer's order, the customer's order will automatically be cancelled in relation to that outstanding product. Customers will be notified and given the option of:
(1) cancelling their order in relation to all unfulfilled deliveries the subject of their order or
(2) accepting delivery of all available products the subject of their order or
(3) re-ordering any outstanding products the subject of their order when they come into stock.
For the avoidance of doubt, Carriage will be charged at the standard rate for each delivery whether in whole or part supply of items comprised in the customer's order.
6. Cancellation and Returns
6.1 You have the right under the Consumer Protection ( Distance Selling ) Regulations 2000 to cancel any order with us by fax or email before 7 working days has passed from the date your order was accepted by us and our contract terms concluded.
6.2 If the products were delivered to you:
(a) you must return the products to us as soon as reasonably practicable;
(b) unless the products are faulty or not as described, you will be responsible for the cost of returning the products to us; and
(c) you have a legal obligation to keep the products in your possession and to take reasonable care of the products while they are in your possession.
