Terms & Conditions for Personal Customers

1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 Welcome to our website (www.euroffice.co.uk) (the “Website“ or the “site”)

1.2 These terms and conditions apply to consumer customers only and not to business customers. For the purposes of these terms and conditions, a “consumer” is an individual acting for purposes which are wholly or mainly outside that individual’s trade, business, craft or profession. If you are a business customer, our Terms & Conditions for Business Customers will apply to you.

1.3 These terms and conditions (together with our Website Terms of Use, our Privacy Policy, our Price Comparison Terms and our Promotions Terms) tell you the legal terms and conditions on which we supply any of the products listed on our Website (“Products”) to you. These terms and conditions apply to any contract between us for the sale of Products to you from our Website (“Contract”). Please read these terms and conditions carefully, and ensure that you understand them, before ordering any Products from our site as they will be binding on you. You should understand that by ordering any of our Products, you agree to be bound by these terms and conditions.

1.4 If you find yourself unable to agree to these terms and conditions please do not use our ordering service and we ask that you do not proceed to purchase any Products listed on the site.

1.5 You will be required to confirm that you accept these terms and conditions when you register with our site and when you order any Products from us. If you refuse to accept these terms and conditions, you will not be able to order any Products from our site.

2. INFORMATION ABOUT US

The Website is operated by Euroffice Limited (“we”). We are registered in England and Wales under company number 03877111 and with our registered office at Unit 4, Perrywood Business Park,Honeycrock Lane, Redhill, RH1 5DZ. Our main trading address is the same as our registered office address. Our VAT number is 100 1166 92.

3. SERVICE AVAILABILITY

Our site is only intended for use by people who require delivery on the UK Mainland, Northern Ireland and the Isle of Wight. We do not accept orders for delivery outside those locations. Unfortunately that means we cannot accept orders for delivery to the Scottish Islands, the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands or the Scilly Isles.

4. YOUR STATUS

By placing an order through our site, you warrant that:

4.1 You are legally capable of entering into binding contracts; and

4.2 You are at least 18 years old.

5. HOW THE CONTRACT IS FORMED BETWEEN YOU AND US

5.1 Before an order is placed you will be given an opportunity to verify and correct the Products included in your order. After placing an order via the Website, you will receive an email from us acknowledging that we have received your order. This acknowledgement is for your information and convenience only and this does not mean that your order has been accepted. Your order constitutes an offer to us to buy a Product. All orders are subject to acceptance by us, and if we accept your order (or part of your order) we will indicate our acceptance to you by sending you an email confirming that we have dispatched your order (or part of it) (the “Order Acceptance”) and containing a VAT invoice in respect of the Products dispatched. The Contract between us will be formed when we send you the Order Acceptance, whether or not you receive such email.

5.2 The Contract will relate only to those Products confirmed as dispatched in the Order Acceptance. We will not be obliged to supply any other Products which may have been part of your order until the dispatch of such Products has been confirmed in a separate Order Acceptance.

5.3 These terms and conditions apply to the Contract to the exclusion of any other terms that you seek to impose or incorporate, or which are implied by trade, custom, practice or course of dealing.

5.4 If we are unable to supply you with a Product, for example because that Product is not in stock or is no longer available or because we cannot meet your requested delivery date, we will inform you of this by email and we will not process your order. If you have already paid for the Product, we will refund you the full amount including any delivery costs charged as soon as possible. We may also be unable to supply you with a Product if we discover a pricing error on our Website; please see conditions 8.4 and 8.5 for further information about what happens in these circumstances.

6. AVAILABILITY AND DELIVERY

6.1 We will deliver the Products to the location set out in your order (“Delivery Location”). Delivery shall be completed once we deliver the Products to the Delivery Location and the Products will be your responsibility from that time.

6.2 Your order will be fulfilled by the delivery date set out in the Order Acceptance or, if no delivery date is specified, then within 30 days of the Order Acceptance. We cannot accept any requests for specific delivery dates and times and you acknowledge that we may deliver your order at any time between the hours of 9.00 a.m. and 6.00 p.m. on working days only. Please see the relevant Product page on our Website for estimated delivery dates.

6.3 Occasionally our delivery to you may be affected by an Event Outside Our Control (as defined in condition 14). See condition 14 for our responsibilities when this happens. We shall not be liable to you for any delay in delivery that is caused by your failure to provide us with adequate delivery instructions or any other instructions that are relevant to the supply of the Products.

6.4 We only deliver to the UK Mainland, Northern Ireland and the Isle of Wight. Unfortunately we cannot deliver to the Scottish Islands, the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands or the Isles of Scilly.

6.5 We do not deliver to PO Box addresses.

6.6 If for any reason we are unable to deliver your order (or any part of it) within the period specified in our Order Acceptance (or if no period is specified then within 30 days of the date of the Order Acceptance), then we will contact you and you may choose to cancel the Contract and receive a full refund. In these circumstances, a full refund shall represent your sole remedy and our sole liability to you in relation to the non-delivery of the Products. If you choose to cancel the Contract for non-delivery under this condition 6.6, you may do so for just some of the Products or all of them, unless splitting them up would significantly reduce their value. If any Products have been delivered to you under the Contract, and you wish to cancel the Contract in its entirety, you will have to allow us to collect the delivered Products from you (at our cost). After you cancel the Contract (and we have collected from you any Products already delivered under the cancelled Contract), we will refund any sums you have paid to us for the cancelled Products and their delivery. Any refund due to you will be processed within 30 days of the date of your cancellation.        

6.7 All deliveries must be signed for. If we are unable to obtain a signature at the time of delivery, we will leave you a note that the Products have been returned to us, in which case please contact us to rearrange delivery. In these circumstances, we shall not be liable to you for any loss you may suffer as a result of such non-delivery.

6.8 The delivery charges applicable to the Products are set out on the relevant Product page on our Website. Delivery is generally free for Business Customer orders over £25 (excluding VAT) and £5.95 for orders under £25 (excluding VAT). Personal customers have a delivery charge of £5.95 on all orders. However, in some circumstances (for example, because the delivery address is particularly remote, or where the Product ordered is a safe or furniture and access is difficult) a higher delivery charge may be applicable. We will usually inform you of the delivery charges at the time of your order but, if these cannot reasonably be calculated in advance, we will notify you of the delivery charges by email afterwards and give you an opportunity to confirm whether or not you want to proceed with your order.

6.9 Please note that our couriers are only insured to deliver to the ground floor of buildings. You will be responsible for arranging transportation of the Products to levels above the ground floor, so please bear this in mind if you are ordering large or heavy items such as a piece of furniture or a safe. Additionally, it is your responsibility to ensure that there is sufficient access to the Delivery Location (for example, sufficient door widths) to enable delivery of the Product. Please inform us of any access issues at the time you place the order.

6.10 If we are not able to deliver the whole of the order at one time due to operational reasons or shortage of stock, we will deliver the order in instalments. We will not charge you extra delivery costs for this.

7. RISK AND TITLE

The Products will be your responsibility from the time of delivery. Ownership will pass to you when we receive payment in full (including all delivery charges) for the Products ordered.

8. PRICE AND PAYMENT

8.1 The price of any Products will be as quoted on our site from time to time, except in cases of obvious error.

8.2 These prices exclude VAT and delivery costs, which will be added to the total amount due.

8.3 Prices are liable to change at any time, but changes will not affect orders in respect of which we have already sent you an Order Acceptance.

8.4 Our site contains a large number of Products and it is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the Products listed on our site may be incorrectly priced. We will normally verify prices as part of our dispatch procedures so that, where a Product's correct price is less than our stated price, we will charge the lower amount when dispatching the Product to you. If a Product's correct price is higher than the price stated on our site, we will normally, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before dispatching the Product, or reject your order and notify you of such rejection. If, within a reasonable time after you placed your order, we are unable to contact you using the contact details you provided during the order process, we will treat the order as cancelled and notify you by email.

8.5 We are under no obligation to provide the Product to you at the incorrect (lower) price, even after we have sent you an Order Acceptance, if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as a mis-pricing.

8.6 Payment for all Products must be by credit card, debit card, Paypal, bank transfer, cheque, credit note or vouchers. We accept card payments with Mastercard, Debit Mastercard, Maestro, Visa, Visa Debit, Visa Electron and Amex. We will not charge your credit or debit card until we dispatch your order. Paypal payments will be taken at the time you place your order, but the processing of your payment will not constitute our acceptance of your order, which will occur as set out in condition 5.

8.7 The “RRPs” that appear on the site represent the manufacturer’s suggested selling prices and are not indicative of the prevailing selling prices at any given time or in any given area.

9. OUR REFUNDS AND RETURNS POLICY

9.1 As a consumer, you have the legal right under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 (“Regulations”) to cancel the Contract at any time up to the date 14 days after the day on which you have received the Products (“Cancellation Period”), subject to certain exceptions listed in conditions 9.6 and 9.7 below. This means that during the Cancellation Period if you change your mind or decide for any other reason that you do not want to receive or keep the Products, you can notify us of your decision to cancel the Contract and receive a refund. For example, if the Contract is formed on 1 January (i.e. the date we sent you the Order Acceptance) and you receive the Products on 5 January, you may cancel the Contract at any time between 1 January and the end of the day on 19 January.

9.2 To cancel the Contract under the Regulations, you must let us know about your decision to cancel. The quickest and easiest way to do this is to contact us via our website, or by telephone. You can also contact us by post using the contact details set out in condition 12 below. If writing to us, please include details of the Contract (such as the Products ordered, the purchase price and the date of the order) to help us identify it. If you send your cancellation notice via our website or by post, then the cancellation is effective from the date that you sent the query or posted the letter. For example, notice will be in time as long as the notice is in the last post on the last day of the Cancellation Period or emailed to us before midnight on that day. If you send your cancellation notice via our website or by post, we will email you to confirm receipt and provide a returns number to include with the Product.

9.3 If you cancel the Contract under the Regulations, we will refund the price you paid for the Products and any delivery charges and will arrange for courier collection of the Products at our cost. However, please note that we are permitted by law to reduce your refund to reflect any reduction in the value of the Products, 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 Products and later discover you have handled them in an unacceptable way, you must pay us an appropriate amount.

9.4 Refunds for cancellations under the Regulations will be completed as soon as possible but in any event within 14 days after the day on which you informed us of your decision to cancel the Contract.

9.5 Except where the Products are defective or not as described, your right to cancel the Contract under the Regulations does not apply to the following:

9.5.1 Products which have been personalised or made to your specification including, without limitation, business cards and other personalised items of stationery;

9.5.2 Products which are perishable including, without limitation, food, beverages, plants and flowers;

9.5.3 Products liable to deteriorate or expire rapidly including, without limitation, sealed ink or toner cartridges that have become unsealed after delivery;

9.5.4 sealed Products which are not suitable for return due to health protection or hygiene reasons (including, without limitation, first aid supplies, ear plugs and masks/respirators), if such Products become unsealed after delivery; and

9.5.5 sealed audio/video recordings and sealed computer software, if such Products become unsealed after delivery.

9.6 Your right to cancel the Contract under the Regulations also does not apply to the supply of digital content not on a tangible medium (including, without limitation, downloadable computer software) where you ask us to supply such digital content to you during the Cancellation Period, which you will do at the time of placing your order. You expressly acknowledge that by placing your order, and thereby requesting that we supply digital content to you during the Cancellation Period, your right to cancel the Contract will be lost.

9.7 Unless the Products are defective or not as described (in which case see condition 9.10), you are not entitled to cancel the Contract under the Regulations after the expiry of the Cancellation Period. However, although we are under no obligation to accept a return after the Cancellation Period, we may exercise our discretion to do so, provided that in these circumstances you might not receive a full credit in respect of the price you paid for the Products and your refund may be by way of a credit note. Unless the Products are defective or not as described, no returns will be accepted under any circumstances after the expiry of 28 days following delivery of the Products to you.

9.8 All refunds will be processed to the payment method you used to make the original payment, save that if condition 9.7 applies, you may receive a credit note.   

9.9 In addition to your cancellation rights under the Regulations, you have a legal right to reject goods which are defective or not as described. If you wish to return a Product because it is defective or not as described, you must contact us within five working days of receipt or, if a defect is not immediately apparent, within a reasonable time of discovering the defect. What is considered a reasonable time will depend on the nature of the Product and the nature of the defect and you are strongly advised to inspect all Products immediately on receipt. Provided you notify us in accordance with the above timescales, we will contact you with a returns number and arrange for collection at our cost. Once we have received the Products back to our warehouse, we will inspect them and notify you of the outcome of our inspection by email within a reasonable time. If the Products are found to be defective or not as described, we will refund the price of the Products together with any applicable VAT and delivery charges. We will process the refund due to you as soon as possible and, in any case, within 30 days of the day we confirmed to you via email that you were entitled to a refund.

9.10 We are under a legal duty to supply consumers with Products that are in conformity with the Contract. As a consumer, you have additional legal rights in relation to goods that are faulty or not as described. These legal rights are not affected by anything in these terms and conditions. Advice about the legal rights of consumers is available from your local Citizens’ Advice Bureau or Trading Standards office.

9.11 If you consider there to be a shortage in your order you must contact us within five working days of delivery, failing which you will be deemed to have received the Products in the quantities ordered and shall not be entitled to cancel the order. You are therefore strongly advised to inspect all Products immediately on receipt. Provided you notify us of the shortage within the required timescale, we will contact you with a returns number and arrange for collection at our cost. We will process the refund due to you as soon as possible and, in any case, within 30 days of the day we confirmed to you via email that you were entitled to a refund. Products returned by you under this condition 9.11 will be refunded in full together with any applicable VAT and delivery charges.

10.1 We warrant to you that any Product purchased from us through our site is of satisfactory quality and reasonably fit for all the purposes for which products of the kind purchased are commonly supplied.

10.2 We only supply the Products for domestic and private use. You agree not to use the Products for any commercial, business or resale purposes, and we have no liability to you for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption or loss of business opportunity.

10.3 Nothing in these terms and conditions shall operate to restrict or limit in any way our liability for:

10.3.2 defective products under section 2 of the Consumer Protection Act 1987;

10.3.3 fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; or

10.3.4 any matter for which it would be illegal for us to restrict or exclude, or attempt to restrict or exclude, our liability.

10.4 We are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our failure to comply with these terms and conditions or our negligence, but we are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable by you and us. Loss or damage is foreseeable if it is an obvious consequence of our failure to comply with these terms and conditions or if it was contemplated by you and us at the time we entered into the Contract.

11.1 We only use your personal information in accordance with our Privacy Policy. Please take the time to read our Privacy Policy as it includes important terms which apply to you.  

11.2 Please be aware that if you fail to make a payment to us by the due date for payment, we reserve the right to instruct third-party debt collection agencies to pursue payment of the debt on our behalf or, at our option, to assign to a third party the right to recover that debt. You acknowledge and accept that in these circumstances we will be required to disclose to such third parties such of your personal information held by us in accordance with our privacy policy as may be reasonably necessary for the purpose of recovering the debt, including without limitation, your name, address, the details of your order, your payment details, correspondence between you and us and any other personal information we hold in relation to you or your order.

In proving the service of any notice, it will be sufficient to prove, in the case of a letter, that such letter was properly addressed, stamped and placed in the post.

12.4 We will always endeavour to resolve any complaint you may have. However, if we are unable to resolve any dispute which may arise between us, either party is entitled to seek further recourse through the ODR Platform. Operated by the European Commission, the ODR Platform is an online platform providing businesses and customers in the European Union with a forum for resolving online sales disputes without the need to go to court. The dispute resolution services available on the Platform are provided free of charge, although neither you nor we are under any obligation to participate.

We will use our reasonable endeavours to bring the Event Outside Our Control to a close or to find a solution by which our obligations under the Contract may be performed despite the Event Outside Our Control.

14.4 You may cancel a Contract affected by an Event Outside Our Control which has continued for more than 30 days. To cancel, please contact us.

15. WAIVER

15.1 If we fail, at any time during the term of a Contract, to insist upon strict performance of any of your obligations under the Contract or any of these terms and conditions, or if we fail to exercise any of the rights or remedies to which we are entitled under the Contract, this shall not constitute a waiver of such rights or remedies and shall not relieve you from compliance with such obligations.

15.2 A waiver by us of any default shall not constitute a waiver of any subsequent default.

15.3 No waiver by us of any of these terms and conditions shall be effective unless it is expressly stated to be a waiver and is communicated to you in writing in accordance with condition 12.

16. SEVERABILITY

If any of these terms and conditions or any provisions of a Contract are determined by any competent authority to be invalid, unlawful or unenforceable to any extent, such term, condition or provision will to that extent be severed from the remaining terms and conditions which will continue to be valid to the fullest extent permitted by law.

17. ENTIRE AGREEMENT

17.1 These terms and conditions and any document expressly referred to in them represent the entire agreement between us in relation to the subject matter of any Contract and supersede any prior agreement, understanding or arrangement between us, whether oral or in writing.

17.2 We each acknowledge that, in entering into a Contract, neither of us has relied on any representation, undertaking or promise given by the other or be implied from anything said or written in negotiations between us prior to such Contract except as expressly stated in these terms and conditions.

Any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with such Contracts or their formation (including non-contractual disputes or claims) shall be subject to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales. This does not affect your legal right as a consumer to bring claims in your local jurisdiction.
