6 – How the contract is formed between you and us

Your order is an offer to buy from us. When you are placing an order, the following steps have to take place before a contract for the sale of Products (“Contract”) is made between us in relation to your order:

• browse our site and add any items that you wish to buy to the shopping cart by clicking ‘Add to basket’. After you have finished your selection, click on ‘Checkout’. You will be asked to complete your personal details, delivery details and method of payment (or if you already have an account with us, you will be asked to sign into your account);
• you place your order for your Product be pressing the “Pay Now” button at the end of the checkout process and submitting your payment details to us;
• before placing your order, the checkout process will give you the opportunity to review and, if necessary, to change your selection of Products and/or correct any errors in your order information. Please take the time to read and check your order at each page of the order process;
• before placing your order, you will be asked to click to confirm that you accept our terms and conditions. If you do not wish to be bound by what you read, you should not place any orders through our site;
• unless we contact you to notify that we do not accept your order, your order will be accepted by us when we dispatch the Products to you. In addition to the rights set out in paragraph 6 below, you can cancel your order at any time before dispatch (at no cost to you). You can log into your account and view orders placed at any time.
• We take payment from your card when we process your order and have checked your card details.

 

7 – Cancellation of a contract  (If you are a consumer)

We believe you’ll be delighted with your purchase, but if you are a consumer and have purchased Product(s) online, you have rights under various legislation to cancel the Contract (including under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 and the Sale of Goods Act 1979 (or from 1 October 2015, the Consumer Rights Act 2015). We have set these rights out below for convenience. Advice about your legal right to cancel the Contract is available from your local Citizens’ Advice Bureau or Trading Standards Office.

You have a right to cancel a Contract for any reason within 14 days

You have a right to cancel a Contract for any reason, including if you change your mind, until 23:59 on the 14th (fourteenth) day after the day on which you (or the person you have identified to take delivery of the Products) takes physical possession of the Product.

 

However, if you have ordered

• more than one Product in a single order (for example, you have ordered Gas Cylinders as well as other products), your legal right to cancel will not end until 23:59 on the 14th (fourteenth) day after the day on which we complete the delivery of the last of those Products or items;
• a regular delivery of Products over a defined period (if applicable), your legal right to cancel will end at 23:59 on the 14th (fourteenth) day after the day on which we complete the delivery of the first of those Products.

 

You can tell us that you wish to cancel the Contract in the period set out by:

 

• Sending us an e-mail to info@taygas.co.uk
• calling us on 01382 832323

 

You have the right to cancel a Contract if the Product(s) are faulty or not as described

 

If the Products are not of satisfactory quality, fit for purpose (i.e. fit for the purpose for which it was intended to be used or a purpose made known to us in writing) or are not as described, you may either:

• reject the Products and claim a refund – you have a “short term” right to reject the Product(s) and claim a refund within 30 days of delivery (see paragraph 7.1(a)); or
• request a repair or replacement of the Product(s)– if you request a repair or replacement, we will carry out the repair or replacement at no extra cost, within a reasonable time and without significant inconvenience to you. If you request a repair or replacement within 30 days of delivery, you have the remainder of the 30-day period (or 7 days if longer) to check whether the repair or replacement has been successful and to decide whether to reject the Products and claim a refund (see paragraph 7.1(a)). Please note that in some circumstances it may not be possible to offer a repair or replacement.

 

If you request a repair or replacement as set out in paragraph 6.4(b), and we do not do this properly, you may either:

 

• keep the Product(s) and claim a price reduction – please note that if you have had the Product(s) for more than 6 months, we may deduct a reasonable amount from the amount owed to you; or
• reject the Product(s) and claim a refund – you then have a “final right” to reject the Product(s) and claim a refund (see paragraph 7.1(b) below)

 

The rights above do not affect your right to claim compensation for any losses you may have suffered as a result of the faulty Product(s)

 

Please note that we do not accept returns or provide refunds if a fault arises from fair wear and tear, willful or accidental damage, negligence by you or a third party, abnormal or inappropriate storage or working conditions, failure to operate or use the Product(s) in accordance with the user instructions or unauthorised misuse or alteration of the Product(s) by you or a third party. Under no circumstances will we accept returns or provide refunds more than 6 years after the date of delivery.

 

8 – Our Returns and Refund Policy (If you are a consumer)

If you cancel a Contract for any reason, or reject the Product(s) for being faulty, we will collect the Product(s) from you for free. We will telephone you (using the number you included in your order) to confirm certain details in order to arrange the collection. For small, low-value items, we may decide not to collect the Product, and will instead send you a pre-paid, padded envelope, which you can use to post the Product back to us. You will need to send the Product(s) back to us without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days after the day on which you have given notice of your cancellation.

 

Please note that if your order includes Cylinder Gas, and you cancel the Contract, either under the fourteen-day period as set out in paragraph 6, or for any other reason (e.g. defective Products), the collection of the Cylinder will be at a different time, and possibly a different day, to the collection of the other Product(s) that you are returning.

 

If you cancel a Contract, all ancillary contracts you have entered into associated with the cancelled Products will be automatically cancelled.

 

Refunds

We will make any refund due to you using the same method originally used by you to pay for your purchase. You will not incur any fees as a result of the reimbursement.

 

If you cancel the Contract within 14 days for any reason

If you cancel the Contract within 14 days for any reason (see paragraph 6.2), we will process the refund due to you as soon as possible and, in any case:

• if we have collected the Product(s) from you, no later than 14 days after the day on which you have given notice of your cancellation; and
• if we ask you to post the Product(s) back to us using the pre-paid envelope, no later than 14 days of us receiving either the Products or proof that they have been returned (whichever is the sooner).

 

We will refund the price that you paid for the Product in full, including any costs of standard delivery (if you have selected a different delivery option, we will only refund up to the amount of our usual standard delivery costs). You should take reasonable care of the Product(s) while they are in your possession as we have the right to make a deduction from any refund due to you if the Product(s) are not returned in a reasonable condition. In particular, we reserve the right to deduct a sum from the refund of the price for the Product(s) to reflect the reduced value of the Product(s) if the Product(s) have been handled more than is necessary (i.e. in a way which would not be permitted in a shop).

 

If the Product is faulty or defective

If the Product is faulty or defective, you should contact us by sending us an email to shop@calor.co.uk or by telephone on 0800 1814512. If you contact us by email, our first action will be to call you on the phone number in your order to discuss the issue with you. We will examine the returned Product(s) and notify you within a reasonable time by telephone if you are entitled to a refund. We will process the refund for defective or faulty Product(s) as soon as possible and in any event within 14 days of us agreeing that you are entitled to a refund.

 

If you exercise your “short term” right to reject the Product(s) within 30 days of delivery (see paragraph 6.4), we will refund to you the full price of the Product(s) including any delivery changes. We may ask you for evidence that the defect was there at the time of delivery or further information about the defect.

 

If you exercise your “final right” to a refund (having requested a repair or replacement and this having been unsuccessful – see paragraph 6.5(b)):

 

• within 6 months of the date of delivery - we will refund to you the full price of the Product(s) including any delivery charges. In such circumstances we will assume the fault was there as at the time of delivery unless it is obvious that this is not the case; or
• after 6 months from the date of delivery - we will refund to you the price of the Product(s) but this may be reduced to take into account any use you have had from the Product(s). In such circumstances we may require you to prove that the defect was there at the time of delivery.

 

9 – Availability and Delivery

Products are subject to availability. In the event that we are unable to supply the Products, for example because that Product is not in stock or no longer available, we will telephone you as soon as possible (and no more than 48 hours following receipt of your order) and we will not process your order. If possible, we will give you the option of continuing with your order with a longer delivery lead time or continuing with part of your order. A full refund will be given where you have already paid for any Product(s) which cannot be supplied as soon as possible, by the same method in which the payment was originally made.

 

Deliveries are restricted to mainland Great Britain. You may place an order for Product(s) from outside mainland Great Britain, but this order must be for delivery to an address in mainland Great Britain.

 

Our aim is to deliver the Products to you within the times displayed on the website for the Product. If we cannot deliver the Products within the time shown, we will contact you by either telephone or e-mail to provide you with a revised estimate.

 

Time for delivery shall not be of the essence. This shall not affect any rights which you may have as a consumer.

 

Delivery will be made to the address specified by you when you place your order. This must be an address within mainland Great Britain. Please note that for safety reasons, deliveries are not made to flats which are above four stories and we do not deliver to basement storeys in any circumstances. Please note that deliveries to flats of up to four stories are only permitted if the flats areof traditional build (to be determined in our reasonable opinion). We may cancel the Contract if the delivery address is to a flat above four stories or is of non-traditional build.

 

You must ensure that someone is available to take delivery of the Products (see paragraph 8.4 above about multiple deliveries). You must also ensure that suitable access is available for the purpose of delivery of the Products. If you fail to take delivery of the Products or fail to ensure that suitable access is available for the purpose of their delivery then we will attempt to redeliver the Products at another time.

 

It is your responsibility to arrange inspection of the Products immediately upon delivery. You will be required to confirm receipt of the Products by signing a delivery note when taking delivery. However, your inspection of the Products and your confirmation of receipt does not affect any rights you may have if the Products are defective on delivery.

 

Any delivery charges will be clearly marked on our site and at the checkout and added to your order.

 

10 – Price and Payment

The price of any Products will be as quoted on our site. We use our best efforts to ensure that the prices of Products are correct at the time when the relevant information was entered on the system.

Prices on our site include VAT (where applicable) at the applicable current rate chargeable in the UK for the time being. However, if the rate of VAT changes between the date of your order and the date of delivery, we will adjust the VAT you pay, unless you have already paid for the Products in full before the change in VAT takes effect.

Prices of Products quoted on our site do not include delivery charges or any cylinder refill. Our delivery charges and cylinder refills are as set out on our site from time to time.

Prices are liable to change at any time, but changes will not affect orders in respect of which we have already dispatched the Products.

 

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 the price stated on our site at the time you placed your order, 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 at the time you place your order, we do not have to provide the Product(s) to you at the incorrect (lower) price as the Contract between us will not yet have been formed. We will contact you as soon as possible to inform you of this error and we will give you the option of continuing to purchase the Product at the correct (higher) price or cancelling your order. We will not process your order until we have your instructions. If 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 in writing.
• Payment for all Products must be by credit or debit card and in pounds sterling only. We accept payment from all major credit and debit cards providers. When placing an order, you confirm that the form of payment you use to make payment to us is yours and that you have authority to place the order.
• We use WorldPay to protect your credit or debit card information and ensure your security. We only see the last four digits of your credit/debit card information. When the order is processed it will be encrypted and processed
