5.1We take reasonable efforts to ensure that all descriptions and graphical representations of goods correspond to the actual Goods.  Please note, however:

5.1.1images of Goods are illustrative only.  There may be slight variations in colour between the image of a Good and the actual Goods sold due to differences in computer displays and lighting conditions;

5.1.2descriptions of packaging are for illustration only, the actual packaging of Goods may vary.


5.2Please note that clause 5.1 does not exclude Our responsibility for mistakes due to negligence on Our part and refers only to minor variations of the correct Goods, not to different Goods altogether. 

5.3We cannot guarantee that Goods will be available.  Stock indications are not provided on Our Site.

5.4Minor changes may, from time to time, be made to certain Goods between Your Order being placed and Us processing that Order and dispatching the Goods, for example, to reflect changes in relevant laws.  Any such changes will not change the main characteristics of the Goods and will not normally affect Your use of those Goods.

5.5We make all reasonable efforts to ensure that all prices shown on Our Site are correct at the time of going online.  We reserve the right to change prices and to add, alter, or remove special offers from time to time and at Our absolute discretion.
 
5.6All prices are checked by Us before We accept Your Order.  In the event that We show incorrect pricing information, We will contact You in writing.  If the correct price is lower than that shown, We will charge You the lower amount and continue to process Your Order.  If the correct price is higher, We will give You the option to purchase the Goods at the correct price or to cancel Your Order (or the affected part of it).  We will not process Your Order in this case until You respond.  If We do not receive a response from You within 7 days, We will cancel Your Order and notify You of this in writing.

5.7All prices on Our Site include VAT.  If the VAT rate changes between Your Order being placed and Us taking payment, the amount of VAT payable will be automatically adjusted when taking payment.

6Orders – How Contracts Are Formed

6.1Our Site will guide You through the ordering process.  Before submitting Your Order You will be given the opportunity to review Your Order and amend it.  Please ensure that You have checked Your Order carefully before submitting it.

6.2If, during the order process, You provide Us with incorrect or incomplete information, please contact Us as soon as possible.  If We are unable to process Your Order due to incorrect or incomplete information, We will contact You to ask You to correct it.  If You do not give Us the accurate or complete information within a reasonable time of Our request, We may cancel Your Order and treat the Contract as being at an end.  If We incur any costs as a result of Your incorrect or incomplete information, We may pass those costs on to You.

6.3No part of Our Site constitutes a contractual offer capable of acceptance.  Your Order constitutes a contractual offer that We may, at Our sole discretion, accept. Our acceptance is indicated by Us sending You an Order Confirmation by email.  Only once We have sent You an Order Confirmation will there be a legally binding Contract between Us and You.

6.4Order Confirmations shall contain the following information:

8.4Ownership of the Goods passes to You once We receive payment in full of all sums due (including any applicable delivery charges).

9Faulty, damaged or incorrect Goods

9.1By law, We must provide goods that are of satisfactory quality, fit for purpose, as described at the time of purchase and in accordance with any pre-contract information We have provided.  If any Goods do not comply and, for example, have faults or are damaged when You receive them, or if You receive incorrect Goods, please contact Us at info@horrocksandwebb.co.uk.co.uk as soon as reasonably possible to inform Us, and to arrange for a refund, repair or replacement.  Your available remedies are as follows:

9.1.1beginning on the day that You receive the Goods (and ownership of them) You have a 30 day right to reject the Goods and to receive a full refund if they do not conform as stated above;

9.1.2if You do not wish to reject the Goods, or if the 30 day rejection period has expired, You may request a repair of the Goods or a replacement.  We will carry out the repair or replacement within a reasonable time and without significant inconvenience to You.  In certain circumstances, where a repair or replacement is impossible or otherwise disproportionate, We may offer You an alternative (i.e. a replacement instead of a repair or vice versa) or a full refund.  If You request a repair or replacement during the 30 day rejection period, that period will be suspended while We carry out the repair or replacement and will resume on the day that You receive the replacement or repaired Goods;

9.1.3if the Goods do not last a reasonable length of time, You may be entitled to a partial refund.  Please be aware that after six months since You received the Goods, the burden of proof will be on You to prove that the defect or non-conformity existed at the time of delivery.


9.2Please note that You will not be eligible to claim under this clause 9 if You purchased the Goods for an unsuitable purpose that is neither obvious nor made known to Us and the problem has resulted from Your use of the Goods for that purpose; or if the problem is the result of normal wear and tear, misuse or intentional or careless damage.  Please also note that You may not return Goods to Us under this clause 9 merely because You have changed Your mind.  As a consumer, You have a legal right to a 14 day cooling-off period within which You can return Goods for this reason.  Please refer to clause 10 for more details.

9.3To return Goods to Us under this clause 9, please contact Us at https://horrocksandwebb.co.uk.co.uk/policies/refund-policy to arrange for return.  We will be responsible for the reasonable delivery costs of returning Goods under this clause 9 and will reimburse You where appropriate.
