This disclaimer does not affect Your statutory rights against the third party seller and is subject to Term 14.1. We will notify You when a third party is involved in a transaction, and We may disclose Your customer information related to that transaction to the third party seller.
7 ORDERS & CONTRACT FORMATION
7.1 All orders that You place on or through the Website are subject to acceptance in accordance with these Terms.
7.2 You are deemed to place an order with Us by ordering via Our on-line checkout process. As part of Our checkout process You will be given the opportunity to check Your order and to correct any errors. The confirmation stage sets out the final details of Your order.
7.3 After You have placed an order for any of the Products, We may send You an order acknowledgement and/or confirmation email, detailing what You have ordered. Please note that this does not mean that Your order has been accepted in a legally binding way. Your order only constitutes an offer to Us for You to buy such Products from Us. All orders are subject to acceptance by Us, and We will confirm such acceptance by dispatching the Products to You by any means (digitally or otherwise). Therefore, a Contract will only form for the supply of Products when We have dispatched (digitally or otherwise) Your ordered Products.
7.4 We may refuse to accept Your order for any Products prior to sending an acknowledgement or confirmation email for that order, or prior to dispatching those Products by any means.
7.5 Please note that in some cases, We accept orders as agents on behalf of third party sellers. The resulting legal contract is between You and that third party seller, and is subject to the terms of that third party seller, which they will advise You of directly. You should carefully review their terms and conditions applying to the transaction.
7.6 If We supply Products to You in instalments, these Terms will apply to each instalment as if there was a separate Contract for each instalment.
7.7 You will comply with all notes, instructions, guidance and recommendations given with any supplied Products (except where it is clearly obvious that the same are wrong or inappropriate).
7.8 We do not file details of Your order for You to subsequently access direct on this Website. Therefore, please print out these Terms and the order acknowledgement or confirmation email for Your own records.
8 RISK, TITLE & DELIVERY
8.1 Products will be at Your risk from the time of delivery, but their ownership will only pass to You on delivery after We have received full payment of all sums due in respect of the Products (including delivery charges and other related charges) in cleared funds.
8.2 If You are unable and/or unwilling to comply with any obligation under any Contract, LPS may suspend or discontinue supply of any of the ordered Products permanently or temporarily under that and any other Contract(s) until You have complied with those obligations. This is without prejudice to any of Our other rights or remedies.
8.3 Delivery charges for postal or courier deliveries and estimate time-scales are set out in Our Other Charges page.
8.4 We make every effort for the Products to be delivered within the estimated time-scales. However, delays are occasionally inevitable due to unforeseen factors. LPS will be under no liability for any delay or failure to deliver any one or more Products under any one or more orders within estimated time-scales (whether due to stock shortages or for any similar or other reason whatsoever), however, if We are unable to supply You with Your ordered Products for any reason within 14 days of any estimated time-scales then We will provide You with a full refund.
9 PRICING & PAYMENT
9.1 Prices are in British pounds sterling, save where otherwise stated from time to time in Euros and/or in US dollars.
9.2 The price of any of the Products will be as quoted on Our Website from time to time, except in cases of obvious error.
9.3 All prices exclude VAT.
9.4 Where We charge separately for postage, packaging, packing, carriage and insurance and other relevant charges, the appropriate rates are set out in Our Other Charges page on the Website.
9.5 Our prices and charges are reviewed periodically and are liable to change at any time, but changes will not affect orders in respect of which We have already dispatched the Products by any means.
9.6 The Website contains a number of Products and it is always possible that, despite Our best efforts, some of those Products may be incorrectly priced. We will normally verify prices as part of Our dispatch procedures so that:
9.6.1 where the correct price is less than Our stated price, We will charge the lower amount; but
9.6.2 if the correct price is higher than the price stated on the Website, We will normally, at Our discretion, contact You before dispatch of Products for reconfirmation of Your order at the correct higher price or to give You the opportunity to reject Your order – if You then reject Your order in such circumstances, the Products will not be dispatched to You and You will receive a full refund.
9.7 We are under no obligation to provide any ordered Products to You at the incorrect (lower) price, even after We have dispatched the Products to You – if You did not purchase the Products as a consumer under the law and the pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could have reasonably been recognised by You as a mis-pricing.
9.8 Payment for any Products must be by a valid credit or debit card that You are authorised to use for the total amount of Your order. You must comply with the terms and conditions of any third party’s online payment system (e.g. PayPal). We cannot give any warranty, guarantee or assurance about such third party’s online payment system (and/or the security of payments made or date transferred using such third party’s online payment system).
9.9 If You order Products from the Website for delivery outside the UK, they may be subject to import duties and taxes which are levied when the delivery reaches the specified destination. You will be responsible for payment of any such import duties and taxes. Please note that We have no control over these charges and cannot predict their amount. Please contact Your local customs office for further information before placing Your order.
9.10 You must comply with all applicable laws and regulations of the country for which the products are destined. We will not be liable for any breach by You of any such laws. You should seek Your own independent legal advice on such issues.
9.11 To ensure that Your credit, debit or charge card is being used with Your consent, We may validate name, address and other personal information supplied by You during the order process against appropriate third party databases. By accepting these Terms You consent to such checks being made. In performing these checks personal information provided by You may be disclosed to a registered Credit Reference Agency which may keep a record of that information. You can rest assured that this is done only to confirm Your identity, that a credit check is not performed and that Your credit rating will be unaffected. All information provided by You will be treated securely and strictly in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998.
9.12 Until and unless You pay for any Product purchased in full, You will not be entitled to claim any professional accreditation offered by the submission of any questionnaire or form that you receive with the Product for that purpose.
