ONLINE SHOP TERMS & CONDITIONS

When buying any goods you agree to be legally bound by our terms and conditions as set out here, and some additional terms on the relevant item’s page. Please read the following important terms and conditions before you buy anything from us, and check that they contain everything which you want and nothing that you are not willing to agree to.

INFORMATION WE GIVE YOU

1. 1. 1. By law, the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 say that we must give you certain key information before a legally binding contract between you and us is made. We have set out all this information in the terms and conditions below, and on the Contact Us page of the website. 

SUMMARY OF A CONSUMER’S KEY RIGHTS

1. 1. The Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 say that up to 14 days after receiving your goods, in most cases, you can change your mind and get a full refund.
   2. The Consumer Rights Act 2015 says goods must be as described, fit for purpose and of satisfactory quality. During the expected lifespan of your product you’re entitled to the following:

• up to 30 days: if your goods are faulty, you can get a refund;
• up to six months: if it can’t be repaired or replaced, then you’re entitled to a full refund in most cases;
• up to six years: if the goods do not last a reasonable length of time, you may be entitled to some money back.
