“Terms and Conditions” means the terms and conditions of sale set out in this document and any special terms and conditions agreed in writing by the Seller.

“Buyer” means the person who buys Goods from the Seller. If a business or company accepts Goods from the Seller, the purchaser shall not be a Buyer as defined in these Terms and Conditions.

General

These Terms and Conditions apply to contracts for the sale of Goods by the Seller to the Buyer. They prevail over any other documentation or communication from the Buyer. The Buyer agrees to these Terms and Conditions when placing an order for Goods.

All orders for Goods by the Buyer are subject to these Terms and Conditions. The Seller may choose not to accept an order for any reason. Reasons that the Seller may refuse to supply Goods to the Buyer may include but are not limited to the following:

• Goods are out of stock or otherwise unavailable.
• The Seller cannot authorise your payment or any other problem with payment, such as suspected fraud.
• A pricing error.
• A product description error.

If the Seller refuses to supply Goods to the Buyer, the Seller will reimburse the Buyer any monies paid for those Goods and any delivery charge paid for the delivery of those Goods. The Seller will not be liable for any losses, costs, damage or expenses incurred by the Buyer if the Seller refuses to supply the Goods.

Acceptance of the goods’ delivery is conclusive proof of the Buyer’s acceptance of these Terms and Conditions.

Any variation to these Terms and Conditions shall be inapplicable unless agreed in writing by the Seller.

Nothing in these Terms and Conditions shall affect the Buyer’s statutory rights as a Consumer.

The Buyer must be at least 18 years of age.

The Buyer must provide the Seller with accurate information regarding the physical address for delivery, a current email address and telephone number for correspondence, and a valid form of payment. The Seller will not be liable for any losses, costs, damages or expenses arising from incorrect or inaccurate information supplied by the Buyer.

When making a payment, the Buyer must use a payment method that the Buyer is entitled to use. Any payment that the Seller suspects may involve a fraudulent payment may necessitate further investigation. These further investigations are to confirm that the Buyer has the right to use the payment method used. In this situation, the Goods will not be dispatched unless the Buyer can satisfy us that they have the right to use the method of payment used. This may require the Buyer to answer pertinent questions satisfactorily and provide adequate identification proof, including photo ID. The dispatch of the Goods to the Buyer will be delayed until the Seller is satisfied that the Buyer has the right to use the method of payment used.

If the Buyer uses PayPal as the payment method, then we can only ship to the address sent to us by PayPal. This address will be the one you nominate in your PayPal account or the address you enter when filling out your credit/debit card details.

In this instance, the Seller will require an additional delivery charge to be paid before the Goods can be re-delivered. In this instance, the Buyer has the alternative option of cancelling their order and receiving a full refund of any monies paid less the cost of any failed deliveries.

Should the Goods that the Buyer receives be different to those described on the website, the Seller will accept the Goods back as long as they are in pristine condition and with all packaging intact, within a reasonable period. In this event, the Seller will refund the monies paid for the Goods, including any delivery charges.

Otherwise, the Buyer should return the goods to the Seller. The Buyer shall be entitled to replacement Goods or a full refund (including delivery costs, if applicable) plus any return postal charges if the Seller confirms the Goods to be defective, incorrect or damaged at the point of delivery. The maximum value of return postal charges that we will refund is £15. The Seller may require the Buyer to provide photographic evidence of any defective, damaged or incorrect goods before their return.

When purchasing any of our kits, please note that you cannot get a part refund on specific items within the kit. The kit is treated as one item as we combine everything and work out prices based on all items within that kit. If you’re not happy with part of the kit and want a refund, you’ll need to refund the kit in its entirety.

When purchasing a kit that may have a faulty item, only that part would be refunded, replaced, or store credit provided if the supplier/manufacturer confirms a part is faulty. Any items from the kit not deemed faulty will be returned to the Buyer, and charges may apply.

If all parts of a kit have been deemed not faulty, they will be returned to the Buyer, and charges applied.

Any item considered faulty four weeks from the purchase must be sent to the original equipment supplier for testing under warranty for them to deem faulty or not.

Guarantees

In addition to the Buyer’s statutory rights, the Seller guarantees most Goods against faulty workmanship and materials for a period of 60 days from the date of delivery. Certain products such as High-Intensity Discharge lamps and fluorescent lamps may only be returned as faulty within 30 days of receipt.

You should keep all receipts and warranty information supplied with your order and goods. You have the right to return a faulty item within the period indicated in Clause 8.1. Faulty items must be returned in their original undamaged packaging with all the items that came with it, including instructions and any spare parts included as part of the product. With many products, the speediest resolution may be to contact the manufacturer directly for advice and rectification.

Limitation of Liability

The Seller shall not be liable for any direct loss or damage suffered by the Buyer howsoever caused, as a result of any misuse of the Goods, negligence, breach of contract or otherwise above the price of the Goods.

The Seller shall not be liable under any circumstances to the Buyer or any third party for any indirect or consequential loss of profit caused due to any misuse of the Goods, negligence, breach of contract, misrepresentation, or otherwise.

Force Majeure

Neither party shall be liable for any delay or failure to perform any of its obligations if the delay or failure results from events or circumstances outside its reasonable control. Occurrences may include but are not limited to acts of God, strikes, lockouts, accidents, war, fire, breakdown of plant or machinery or shortage or unavailability of raw materials from a natural source of supply. The party shall be entitled to a reasonable extension of its obligations.

Severance

If any term or provision of these Terms and Conditions is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason by any court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be severed and the remainder of the provisions hereof shall continue in full force and effect as if these Terms and Conditions had been agreed with the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision eliminated.
