3 OUR CONTRACT WITH YOU

3.1 How we will accept your order. Our acceptance of your order will take place when we email you to accept it, at which point a contract will come into existence between you and us.

3.2 If we cannot accept your order. If we are unable to accept your order, we will inform you of this in writing and will not charge you for the product. This might be because the product is out of stock, because of unexpected limits on our resources which we could not reasonably plan for, because we have identified an error in the price or description of the product or because we are unable to meet a delivery deadline you have specified.

They shall not form part of the contract between us and shall have no contractual force.

4.2 Products may vary slightly from their pictures. The images of the products on our website are for illustrative purposes only.

If you wish to make a change to the product you have ordered please contact us. We will let you know if the change is possible. If it is possible we will let you know about any changes to the price of the product, the timing of supply or anything else which would be necessary as a result of your requested change and ask you to confirm whether you wish to go ahead with the change.

6 OUR RIGHTS TO MAKE CHANGES

6.1 Minor changes to the products. We may change the product:

6.1.1 to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements; and

6.1.2 to implement minor technical adjustments and improvements. These changes will not affect your use of the product.

6.2 More significant changes to the products and these terms. In addition, we may make more significant changes to the products, but if we do so we will notify you and you may then contact us to end the contract before the changes take effect and receive a refund for any products paid for but not received.

7 PROVIDING THE PRODUCTS

7.1 Delivery costs. The costs of delivery will be as displayed to you on our website.

7.2 Delivery locations. We will deliver the products to the delivery address specified by you when you submit your order, or such other address as we may agree in writing with you. We only deliver to addresses within the mainland UK. We are currently unable to deliver to destinations outside of mainland UK, including the Shetland Islands, Outer Hebrides, Isle of Bute, Argyllshire, Isle of Arran and the Isles of Scilly.

7.3 When we will provide the products. During the order process we will let you know when we will provide the products to you. Any dates quoted for delivery are approximate only, however we will use all reasonable endeavours to deliver them to you as soon as reasonably possible and in any event within 30 days after the day on which we accept your order.

7.4 We will not deliver products in instalments unless we tell you otherwise in writing. If your order consists of multiple products, we will endeavour to supply products in a single consignment. If some of the products ordered are not available for immediate dispatch when we receive your order, your consignment will be held until all products ordered are available. If the delay is likely to be more than 5 working days, we will contact you to either arrange delivery by instalments or to let you know of the anticipated dispatch date of the full order.

7.5 We are not responsible for delays outside our control. If our supply of the products is delayed by an event outside our control then we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and we will take steps to minimise the effect of the delay. Provided we do this we will not be liable for delays caused by the event, but if there is a risk of substantial delay you may contact us to end the contract and receive a refund for any products you have paid for but not received. Please note: if you opt to pay for expedited delivery of products and your delivery is delayed for reasons which are within our control, our liability will be limited to a refund of the additional charged paid for expedited delivery.

7.6 If you are not at home when the product is delivered. If no one is available at your address to take delivery and the products cannot be posted through your letterbox, our couriers will leave you a note informing you of how to rearrange delivery or collect the products from a local depot.

7.7 If you do not re-arrange delivery. If, after a failed delivery to you, you do not re-arrange delivery or collect them from a delivery depot, products will be returned to us and we will contact you for further instructions and may charge you for storage costs and any further delivery costs. If, despite our reasonable efforts, we are unable to contact you or re-arrange delivery or collection we may end the contract and clause 10.2 will apply.

7.8 When you become responsible for the goods. Goods will be your responsibility from the time we deliver the product to the address you gave us.

7.9 When you own goods. You own a product once we have received payment in full.

7.10 What will happen if you do not give required information to us. We need certain information from you so that we can supply the products to you, for example, your billing and delivery details. If such information is not provided at the time of order, we will contact you in writing to ask for this information. If you do not give us this information within a reasonable time of us asking for it, or if you give us incomplete or incorrect information, we may either end the contract (and clause 10.2 will apply) or make an additional charge of a reasonable sum to compensate us for any extra work that is required as a result. We will not be responsible for supplying the products late or not supplying any part of them if this is caused by you not giving us the information we need within a reasonable time of us asking for it.

7.11 Reasons we may suspend the delay of products to you. We may have to delay the supply of a product to:

7.11.1 deal with technical problems or make minor technical changes;

7.11.2 update the product to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements;

7.11.3 make changes to the product as requested by you or notified by us to you (see clause 6).

7.12 Your rights if we delay the supply of products. We will contact you in advance to tell you we will be delaying supply of the product, unless the problem is urgent or an emergency. You may contact us to end the contract for a product if we delay it, or tell you we are going to delay it and we will refund any sums you have paid in advance for the product.

8 YOUR RIGHTS TO END THE CONTRACT

8.1 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:

8.1.1 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), see clause 12 if you are a consumer and clause 13 if you are a business;

8.1.2 If you want to end the contract because of something we have done or have told you we are going to do, see clause 8.2;

8.1.3 If you are a consumer and have just changed your mind about the product, see clause 8.3. 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 goods;

8.1.4 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 8.6.

8.2 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 (a) to (e) 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:

8.2.1 we have told you about an upcoming change to the product or these terms which you do not agree to (see clause 6.2);

8.2.2 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;

8.2.3 there is a risk that supply of the products may be significantly delayed because of events outside our control;

8.2.4 we have delayed supply of the products for technical reasons, or notify you we are going to delay them for technical reasons; or

8.2.5 you have a legal right to end the contract because of something we have done wrong.

8.3 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 you have a legal right to change your mind within 14 days and receive a refund. These rights, under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, are explained in more detail in these terms.

8.4 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:

8.4.1 any product from the modulo3 product range as these products are made to order to your specification;

8.4.2 any other bespoke products made to a specification supplied by you;

8.4.3 any products which become mixed inseparably with other items after their delivery.

8.5 How long do consumers have to change their minds? You have 28 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 28 days after the day you (or someone you nominate) receives the last delivery.

8.6 Ending the contract where we are not at fault and there is no right to change your mind. Even if we are not at fault and you are not a consumer who has a right to change their mind (see clause 8.1), 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 HOW TO END THE CONTRACT WITH US (INCLUDING IF YOU ARE A CONSUMER WHO HAS CHANGED THEIR MIND)

9.1 Tell us you want to end the contract. To end the contract with us, please let us know by doing one of the following:

9.1.1 Phone or email. Call customer services on 01288 355 666 or email us at bottsmartvan@bottltd.co.uk. Please provide your name, home address, details of the order and, where available, your phone number and email address.

9.1.2 By post. Write to us at bott Smartvan, Bude Stratton Business Park, Bude, Cornwall EX23 8LY, including details of what you bought, when you ordered or received it and your name and address.

9.2 Returning products after ending the contract. If you end the contract for any reason after products have been dispatched to you or you have received them, you must return them to us. You must post them back to us at bott Smartvan, Bude Stratton Business Park, Bude, Cornwall EX23 8LY. If you are a consumer exercising your right to change your mind you must send off the goods within 28 days of receiving the products (at your cost). You should ensure that any products returned to us are in their original and unused condition and securely packed in their original packaging together with the delivery note received from us. In the event that we receive used or damaged products, we may reduce your refund of the price to reflect any reduction in the value of the goods, if this has been caused by your handling them in a way which would not be permitted in a shop.

9.3 When we will pay the costs of return. We will pay the costs of return:

9.3.1 if the products are faulty or misdescribed;

9.3.2 if you are ending the contract because we have told you of an upcoming change to the product or these terms, an error in pricing or description, a delay in delivery due to events outside our control or because you have a legal right to do so as a result of something we have done wrong.
In all other circumstances (including where you are a consumer exercising your right to change your mind) you must pay the costs of return.

9.4 How we will refund you. If you are entitled to a refund under these terms we will refund you the price you paid for the products including delivery costs, by the method you used for payment. However, we may make deductions from the price, as described below.

9.5 When we may make deduction from refunds if you are a consumer exercising your right to change your mind. If you are exercising your right to change your mind:

9.5.1 We may reduce your refund of the price (excluding delivery costs) to reflect any reduction in the value of the goods, if this has been caused by your handling them in a way which would not be permitted in a shop. If we refund you the price paid before we are able to inspect the goods and later discover you have handled them in an unacceptable way, you must pay us an appropriate amount.

9.5.2 The maximum refund for delivery costs will be the costs of delivery by the least expensive delivery method we offer. For example, if we offer delivery of a product within 5 -7 days at one cost but you choose to have the product delivered within 24 hours at a higher cost, then we will only refund what you would have paid for the cheaper delivery option.

9.6 When your refund will be made. We will make any refunds due to you as soon as possible. If you are a consumer exercising your right to change your mind then your refund will be made within 14 days from the day on which we receive the product back from you or, if earlier, the day on which you provide us with evidence that you have sent the product back to us. For information about how to return a product to us, see clause 9.2.

14 PRICE AND PAYMENT

14.1 Where to find the price for the product. The price of the product (which includes VAT) will be the price indicated on the order pages when you placed your order. All prices are displayed in Pounds Sterling. We take all reasonable care to ensure that the price of the product advised to you is correct. However please see clause 14.3 for what happens if we discover an error in the price of the product you order.

14.2 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.

14.3 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.

14.4 When you must pay and how you must pay. We accept payment with Visa and Mastercard. Unless you opt to obtain third party finance in respect of your order pursuant to clause 14.5, you must pay for the products via our website at the time you place your order. We will not charge your credit or debit card until we dispatch the products to you.

14.5 Third party finance. We provide the option to pay for products via third party finance. Finance is arranged by Corporate Asset Solutions Limited ("CAS"). Should you wish to pay for products using third party finance, you should select the "CAS Finance" option under "payment details" at checkout and, on completing the checkout process, we will notify CAS, who will contact you directly to assess whether you are eligible for finance and, if successful, process your application. Finance is arranged directly between you and CAS and shall not be subject to these terms. If CAS are unable to arrange finance in respect of your order, we will contact you to arrange for payment by alternative means. We are authorised as a broker and are regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority under firm reference number 796952.

14.6 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).

14.7 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 [4]% 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.

14.8 Special and promotional offers. We reserve the right to exclude from our website any special or promotional offer advertised where such offer is as available by other means. Such offers will only be available on our website where expressly stated in the offer that the offer can be redeemed on our website. All special and promotional offers are subject to availability and whilst stocks last and are subject to the terms and conditions attached to them. The terms detailed in Schedule 1 set out those terms and conditions which apply to competitions run by bott.

15.1 We are responsible to you for foreseeable loss and damage caused by us. 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 this contract or our failing to use reasonable care and skill, 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.

15.2 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 as summarised at clause 12.1; and for defective products under the Consumer Protection Act 1987.

17 HOW WE MAY USE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

How we will use your personal information. We will only use your personal information as set out in our privacy policy.

18 OTHER IMPORTANT TERMS

18.1 We may transfer this Agreement to someone else. We may transfer our rights and obligations under these terms to another organisation. We will contact you to let you know if we plan to do this. If you are unhappy with the transfer you may contact us to end the contract within 14 days of us telling you about it and we will refund you any payments you have made in advance for products not provided.

18.2 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.

18.3 Nobody else has any rights under this contract (except someone you pass your guarantee on to). 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.

18.4 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.

18.5 Even if we delay in enforcing this contract, we can still enforce it later.

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.

18.5| 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.
