3. ORDER PROCESSING

3.1 After placing an order, you will receive an e-mail from us acknowledging that we have received your order. Please note that this does not mean that your order has been accepted. Your order constitutes an offer to us to buy Products. All orders are subject to acceptance by us, and we will confirm such acceptance to you by sending you an e-mail that confirms that the Product has been despatched, together with an invoice for those Products despatched. The contract between us will only be formed when we send you the Despatch Confirmation.

3.2 The Contract will relate only to those Products whose despatch we have confirmed in the Despatch Confirmation. We will not be obliged to supply any other Products which may have been part of your order until the despatch of such Products has been confirmed in a separate Despatch Confirmation.

3.3 You will be responsible for the accuracy of the details provided on the order form and we cannot accept an order where the details are incomplete or entered incorrectly.

4. GENERAL

4.1 We reserve the right to change any services, product prices, product specifications and availability at any time.

4.2 All prices and descriptions supersede all previous publications.

4.3 All contracts will be concluded in English.

4.4 You will not have any right to cancel a Contract for the supply of any products that have been used by you and cannot be resold because of your use of those Products.

5. AVAILABILITY AND DELIVERY

5.1 It is our aim to deliver Products within 2 working days for delivery in the UK, 5 working days for delivery in Europe and 10 working days for delivery to the rest of the world, calculated from receipt of funds and assuming that the Products you have ordered are available in our warehouse to despatch to you. These time periods however are estimates only and deliveries beyond this date will not be grounds to cancel your order unless we fail to deliver the Products to you within a reasonable time.

5.2  Goods will be delivered by courier to the address provided by you, the buyer, as noted on the order form. The preferred carrier is APC, and goods will be delivered on a Next Day service unless otherwise specified.

5.3  Delivered goods must be signed for by an adult aged 18 years or older.

5.4 Whilst we cannot guarantee delivery within the time periods specified at condition 5.1, if you have not received your Products after this period has expired, please contact us by sending an email to pumps@fes-ltd.co.uk with your order number to hand. We will advise you of the present position and endeavour to ensure you receive the Products as soon as is reasonably possible.

5.5 The quantity of any Products as recorded by us on despatch from our premises shall be conclusive evidence of the quantity received by you on delivery unless conclusive evidence to the contrary can be provided to us. For the avoidance of doubt, any signature given to any courier by any person other than yourself at the delivery address confirming receipt of the Products shall not be deemed conclusive proof of non – delivery.

5.6 Please note that if we are unable to deliver the goods by the date quoted for delivery, you, the buyer, shall be entitled to cancel the order at any time before delivery takes place.

 

6. RISK AND TITLE

6.1 The Products will be at your risk from the time we deliver the products to you.

6.2 Ownership of the Products will only pass to you when we receive full payment of all sums due in respect of the Products, including delivery charges.

7. PRICE

7.1 The price of any Products will be as quoted on our site from time to time, except in cases of obvious error. We reserve the right, by giving notice to you, at any time before delivery to increase the price of goods or services to reflect any increase in the costs of labour, materials or other costs of manufacture. In this unlikely event, you will be entitled to cancel the order at any time before delivery.

7.2 These prices exclude VAT and delivery costs, which will be added to the total amount due and will be provided to you once you have provided the delivery address to us on our online ordering system. Depending upon destination address and depending on the weight/ size of the Product, delivery costs may vary and where the cost for arranging delivery is higher than the cost advised to you on our website, we will advise you of this and give you the opportunity to cancel your order.

7.3 Where you require delivery to be made outside of the UK mainland, please check the special delivery box for details of delivery charges or contact us pumps@fes-ltd.co.uk

7.4 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 acknowledgement.

7.5 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. All offers are subject to availability unless otherwise stated and are for a limited period only. These offers are advertised in good faith and Fluid Equipment Services will not be held liable if we are unable to supply the goods at the “offer Price”. We will normally verify prices as part of our despatch procedures so that, where a Product’s correct price is less than our stated price, we will charge the lower amount when despatching 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 despatching the Product, or reject your order and notify you of such rejection.

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

7.7 Prices are in Pounds Sterling, unless specified otherwise.

8. PAYMENT

8.1 Payment for all Products can be made by credit or debit card. We accept payment by Visa, Visa Debit, MasterCard or Solo.

8.2 On receipt of your order we will automatically deduct the cost of the Products together with delivery charges from your card within 24 hours of receiving your order.

8.3 Where necessary pursuant to these terms and conditions, we are also able to cancel or refund individual items of your order should this become necessary in order to comply with our obligations to you.

8.4 You may also order products on our website and pay for them by cheque. In such circumstances your order will be placed on “hold” until we receive your cheque and have obtained cleared funds to our bank account.

10. OUR REFUNDS POLICY

10.1 (a) If you are not happy with your purchase, you can return the product to us, with all packaging, ancillaries and instruction manuals, in a condition that will allow resale ‘as new’, within 14 days of purchase. We will refund the Product cost in full to you, excluding the cost of sending the item to you, and subject to a 10% restocking fee. However, you will be responsible for the cost of returning the item to us.

(b) for any other reason (for instance, because you claim that the Product is defective or does not comply with the warranties as set out at clause 9.2), we will examine the returned Product and will notify you with our view on whether you are entitled to obtain a refund, repair or replacement Product via e-mail within a reasonable period of time.

10.2 If any Product is alleged to be defective or does not conform to any of the warranties in condition 9.2, you must return the Product to us for inspection initially at your own cost.

10.4 If you return a Product to us, in a used condition (except where you allege the Product is defective) and/or without all the original packaging and any relevant instruction manual or documents, we shall not be able to sell the returned Product as new and therefore you agree that in such circumstances where we agree to make a refund of the price paid to you, we shall have a right to deduct from any such refund the net loss of profit we shall suffer as a direct consequence.

10.5 Where we agree to make a refund to you, we will usually 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 e-mail that you are entitled to a refund for the defective Product.

Any personal data will not be transferred out of the EEA. If you do not give us your consent, all information received from you will be kept completely confidential and will not be disclosed to any other party except to verify your credit or debit card.

12.10 The Data Protection Act 1998 gives you the right to access information held about you. Your right of access can be exercised in accordance with the Act. Any access request may be subject to a fee of £10 to meet our costs in providing you with details of the information we hold about you.
