Sale of Goods

Our contract

When you place an order to purchase a product from Contact25, we will send you an e-mail confirming receipt of your order. Your order represents an offer to us to purchase a product which is accepted by us when we send e-mail confirmation to you that we've dispatched that product to you (the "Dispatch Confirmation E-mail"). That acceptance will be complete at the time we send the Dispatch Confirmation E-mail to you. Any products on the same order which we have not confirmed in a Dispatch Confirmation E-mail to have been dispatched do not form part of that contract.

 

Returns

In addition to your 30-day returns guarantee, customers in the European Union are entitled to a statutory cooling-off period of seven business days.

To ensure the safe return of your items and the correct allocation of the items to your order, please follow the guidelines below:

• Please print the return label and include it in your return package. Do not change the size of the return package when printing as this can make the label unreadable for our scanners.
• If you cannot print the label, please include the payslip (the original or a copy) or a piece of paper with the name of the person who ordered the items, the order number and the reason for the return.
• Please use the Contact25 cardboard box and the manufacturer's original package to return the item.
• If you no longer have the Contact25 cardboard box, please include the name of the person who ordered the items and the order number in the sender field on the package.

 

Our 30-day returns guarantee

Our 30-day* returns guarantee means that if for any reason you are unhappy with your purchase, you can return it to us in its original condition within 30 days of the date you received the item, unopened (with any seals and shrink-wrap intact, clothing must have labels attached) and we will issue a full refund for the price you paid for the item. We can only accept the return of opened items if they are faulty.

 

Refund Policy

When you send your item back to us (or, in the case of large electrical items delivered via specialist courier, when we collect the item from you), we'll process the returned item then notify you via e-mail of your refund. You can expect a refund in the same form of payment originally used for purchase within three weeks of our receiving your return.

 

You can also view completed returns and refunds at the bottom of an order's summary page in Your Account. If the return and refund do not appear in Your Account after four weeks from the day you sent us your return, please contact us for further assistance.

 

How Refunds Are Calculated

Items returned because they are damaged, defective or incorrect

If you are returning an item because of an error on our part or, in accordance with our returns policy, because it is damaged or defective, we will refund the delivery charges incurred in sending the item to you and pay your costs of returning it to us (either via a personalised pre-paid return label, or by refunding your return postage costs). We will also refund the cost of gift-wrapping and other services provided to you in connection with your purchase, where applicable.

 

Contact25 will check all items returned as damaged or defective. In the event we find no fault, we reserve the right to re-charge you for the item/s and to recover our fees and expenses from you.

 

Items returned within the seven-day cooling off period

By law, customers located in the European Union also have the right to withdraw from the purchase of an item within seven working days of the day after the date the item is delivered.

 

Where you are withdrawing from your purchase within the seven working day cooling-off period, and there has been no error on our part, we will refund the cost of the item and the cost of sending the item to you as follows:

• where you are returning an item that was part of a larger order, we'll refund the per-item charge for delivery that you incurred
• where you are returning an entire order, we'll refund applicable per-item delivery charges and the per-delivery charge that you incurred
• we will refund only standard (Airmail) postage charges for items delivered outside the UK where we collect an item from you, we reserve the right to recover the costs of collection from you.
• if you use a personalised pre-paid return label, we will deduct the return postage from your overall refund.

 

We will not refund the cost of gift-wrapping, your costs in returning the item to us and other services provided to you in connection with your purchase unless you return the item to us because of an error on our part or because it is defective.

 

Items returned under the 30-day or 14-day returns guarantee

Where you are withdrawing from your purchase between seven and 30 days after delivery (or between seven and 14 days in the case of large electrical items), and there has been no error on our part, we will refund only the cost of the item. We will not refund the cost of gift-wrapping, delivery or other services provided to you in connection with your purchase. If you use a personalised pre-paid return label, we will deduct the return postage from your overall refund.

 

Note: personalised pre-paid return labels are not available for all UK delivery addresses, and they are not available for delivery addresses outside the UK.

Pricing and availability

We list availability information for products sold by us on the website, including on each product information page. Beyond what we say on that page or otherwise on the website, we cannot be more specific about availability. Please note that dispatch estimates are just that. They are not guaranteed dispatch times and should not be relied upon as such. As we process your order, we will inform you by e-mail if any products you order turn out to be unavailable.

 

Despite our efforts, a small number of the products in our shop may be mispriced. Rest assured, however, that we verify prices as part of our dispatch procedures. If a product's correct price is lower than our stated price, we charge the lower amount and send you the product. If a product's correct price is higher than our stated price, we will, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before dispatch or cancel your order and notify you of such cancellation. For more details, please review our Pricing and Availability policy and our Availability Guide, both of which apply to products ordered from us.

 

When We Charge Your Card

We charge your credit or debit card at the point you place your order. If you have paid by cheque and we owe you a full or partial refund, we will send a refund cheque for the correct amount.

 

Confirming availability

Availability information for the titles in our catalogue is listed on each item's detail page. Beyond what we say on that page, we cannot be more specific about availability. As we process your order, we will inform you by e-mail if any items you order turn out to be unavailable.

 

Customs

When ordering goods from Contact25 for delivery overseas you may be subject to import duties and taxes, which are levied once the package reaches the specified destination. Any additional charges for customs clearance must be borne by you; we have no control over these charges and cannot predict what they may be. Customs policies vary widely from country to country, so you should contact your local customs office for further information. Additionally, please note that when ordering from Contact25, you are considered the importer of record and must comply with all laws and regulations of the country in which you are receiving the goods. Your privacy is important to us and we know that you care about how information about your order is used and shared. We would like our international customers and customers dispatching products internationally to be aware that cross-border deliveries are subject to opening and inspection by customs authorities.

Contact25 does not sell products for purchase by children. We sell children's products for purchase by adults. If you are under 18, you may use Contact25 only with the involvement of a parent or guardian.

 

Losses

Contact25 will be responsible for any losses you suffer as a result of us breaching these conditions if the losses were reasonably foreseeable to both you and us when you commenced using the website, or a contract for the sale of goods by us to you was formed. We will not be responsible for any business loss (including loss of profits, revenue, contracts, anticipated savings, data, goodwill or wasted expenditure) or any other indirect or consequential loss that is not reasonably foreseeable to both you and us when you commenced using the website or when a contract for the sale of goods by us to you was formed. Contact25 does not limit in any way our liability by law for death or personal injury caused from our negligence or breach of duty or caused by our gross negligence or wilful misconduct.

 

Alteration of Service or Amendments to the Conditions

We reserve the right to make changes to our website, policies, and these Conditions of Use & Sale at any time. You will be subject to the policies and Conditions of Conditions of Use & Sale in force at the time that you use the website or that you order goods from us, unless any change to those policies or these conditions is required to be made by law or government authority (in which case it will apply to orders previously placed by you). If any of these conditions is deemed invalid, void, or for any reason unenforceable, that condition will be deemed severable and will not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining condition.

 

Events beyond our reasonable control

We will not be held responsible for any delay or failure to comply with our obligations under these conditions if the delay or failure arises from any cause which is beyond our reasonable control. This condition does not affect your statutory rights.

 

Waiver

If you breach these conditions and we take no action, we will still be entitled to use our rights and remedies in any other situation where you breach these conditions.
