• In any case, regardless of events beyond our control, if we do not deliver the Goods on time, you can (in addition to any other remedies) treat the Contract at an end if:

If the Goods have been delivered, you must return them to us or allow us to collect them from you and we will pay the costs of this.
• If any Goods form a commercial unit (a unit is a commercial unit if division of the unit would materially impair the value of the goods or the character of the unit) you cannot cancel or reject the Order for some of those Goods without also cancelling or rejecting the Order for the rest of them.
• We deliver to addresses outside the European Union. If we accept an Order for delivery outside that area, you may need to pay import duties or other taxes, as we will not pay them.
• You agree we may deliver the Goods in instalments if we suffer a shortage of stock or other genuine and fair reason, subject to the above provisions and provided you are not liable for extra charges.
• If you or your nominee fail, through no fault of ours, to take delivery of the Goods at the Delivery Location, we may charge the reasonable costs of redelivering them.
• The Goods will become your responsibility from the completion of delivery or Customer collection. You must, if reasonably practicable, examine the Goods before accepting them.

Risk and Title

• Risk of damage to, or loss of, any Goods will pass to you when the Goods are delivered to you.
• You do not own the Goods until we have received payment in full. If full payment is overdue or a step occurs towards your bankruptcy, we can choose, by notice to cancel any delivery and end any right to use the Goods still owned by you, in which case you must return them or allow us to collect them.

Withdrawal, returns and cancellation

• You can withdraw the Order by telling us before the Contract is made, if you simply wish to change your mind and without giving us a reason, and without incurring any liability.
• This is a distance contract (as defined below) which has the cancellation rights (Cancellation Rights) set out below. These Cancellation Rights, however, do not apply, to a contract for the following goods (with no others) in the following circumstances:
• goods that are made to your specifications or are clearly personalised;
• goods which are liable to deteriorate or expire rapidly.
• Also, the Cancellation Rights for a Contract cease to be available in the following circumstances:
• in the case of any sales contract, if the goods become mixed inseparably (according to their nature) with other items after delivery.

Right to cancel

• Subject as stated in these Terms and Conditions, you can cancel this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
• The cancellation period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party, other than the carrier indicated by you, acquires physical possession of the last of the Goods. In a contract for the supply of goods over time (ie subscriptions), the right to cancel will be 14 days after the first delivery.
• To exercise the right to cancel, you must inform us of your decision to cancel this Contract by a clear statement setting out your decision (eg a letter sent by post or email). In any event, you must be able to show clear evidence of when the cancellation was made.
• To meet the cancellation deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right to cancel before the cancellation period has expired.

Cancellation fee

• A cancellation fee of 15% is applicable to all orders which are cancelled by the consumer.

Effects of cancellation in the cancellation period

• Except as set out below, if you cancel this Contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, excluding the costs of delivery and minus the above 15% cancellation fee (except for the supplementary costs arising if the Goods have been dispatched).

Deduction for Goods supplied

• We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any Goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you (ie handling the Goods beyond what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the Goods: eg it goes beyond the sort of handling that might be reasonably allowed in a shop). This is because you are liable for that loss and, if that deduction is not made, you must pay us the amount of that loss.

Timing of reimbursement

• If we have not offered to collect the Goods, we will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than:
• 14 days after the day we receive back from you any Goods supplied, or
• (if earlier) 14 days after the day you provide evidence that you have sent back the Goods.
• If we have offered to collect the Goods or if no Goods were supplied, we will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to cancel this Contract.
• We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction.

Returning Goods

• If you have received Goods in connection with the Contract which you have cancelled, you must send back the Goods or hand them over to us at 3-4 Trinity Court, Fonthill Industrial Park, Clondalkin, Dublin 22, Ireland without delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate to us your cancellation of this Contract. The deadline is met if you send back the Goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You agree that you will have to bear the cost of returning the Goods.
• For the purposes of these Cancellation Rights, these words have the following meanings:
• distance contract means a contract concluded between a trader and a consumer under an organised distance sales or service-provision scheme without the simultaneous physical presence of the trader and the consumer, with the exclusive use of one or more means of distance communication up to and including the time at which the contract is concluded;
• sales contract means a contract under which a trader transfers or agrees to transfer the ownership of goods to a consumer and the consumer pays or agrees to pay the price, including any contract that has both goods and services as its object.

Conformity and Guarantee

• We have a legal duty to supply the Goods in conformity with the Contract, and will not have conformed if it does not meet the following obligation.
• Upon delivery, the Goods will:
• be of satisfactory quality;
• be reasonably fit for any particular purpose for which you buy the Goods which, before the Contract is made, you made known to us (unless you do not actually rely, or it is unreasonable for you to rely, on our skill and judgment) and be fit for any purpose held out by us or set out in the Contract; and
• conform to their description.
• It is not a failure to conform if the failure has its origin in your materials.
• We will immediately, or within a reasonable time, give you the benefit of the standard three year guarantee of the Goods. This guarantee will take effect at the time the Goods are delivered, and will not reduce your legal rights.

Circumstances beyond the control of either party

• In the event of any failure by a party because of something beyond its reasonable control:
• the party will advise the other party as soon as reasonably practicable; and
• the party's obligations will be suspended so far as is reasonable, provided that that party will act reasonably, and the party will not be liable for any failure which it could not reasonably avoid, but this will not affect the Customer's above rights relating to delivery and any right to cancel, below.
