These Terms and Conditions
apply to all transactions on
this site. Please read them
carefully. They do not affect
your statutory rights.
We may change these Terms and
Conditions at any time. Any
changes will take effect on
the date they are posted on to
the site (see date above). You
will be asked to read and
accept the Terms and
Conditions each time you place
an order to ensure that you
are familiar with the most
current ones.
Please note that different
terms, including prices,
delivery charges, delivery
times and returns policies,
may apply from time to time.
Our Contract
You will have an opportunity
to check and correct any input
errors in your order up until
you click the Submit Order
button.
After you submit an order we
will give you an Order
Reference Number and details
of the products you have
ordered. We will send the same
details to you in an email
acknowledging receipt of your
order (Order Acknowledgement).
We will then send a further
email when we start to process
your order (Order Processing).
Please note that these emails
are both acknowledgements, not
acceptance of your order.
Subject to the paragraph
headed "IMPORTANT" underneath
the "Prices and Payment"
section below, acceptance of
your order and the creation of
a legally binding contract
between us will only occur
when we send you an email
confirming your order (Order
Confirmation). This will
contain details of how your
products will be delivered to
you. Alternatively, we may
decline all or part of your
order for any reason, in which
case our Order Confirmation
email will tell you so.
When deciding whether or not
to accept your order we may
use certain information about
you, including any received
from credit reference agency
checks with Experian Limited
or other agencies. In
particular, we may pass your
details to Experian for them
to check against certain
public and private databases.
Experian may keep a record to
use in future security checks.
This helps to protect you and
us against fraudulent
transactions.
We will tell you if your
payment details cannot be
authorised for any reason and
may invite you to pay by
another method or suggest that
you visit one of our stores.
Please note that products,
prices and offers in our
stores may differ from those
featured on this site.

All prices and charges on this
site are in UK pounds. They

The total cost of your order
will be the price of the

applicable delivery charge,
plus any additional services
you choose All these will be
set out clearly to you before
you submit your order.

unavailable we may offer you

IMPORTANT: We try
very hard to ensure that all
information on this site is
accurate. However, just
occasionally, an error can
occur. If we discover an error
in the price or description of
a product you have ordered, we
may cancel your order at any
time up to the point we send
you the product(s) (even if
you have received your order
confirmation email). We will
contact you where we become
aware of an error and ask
whether you wish to continue
with your order at the correct
price or cancel it. If we do
cancel your order, you will
receive a full refund of any
charges paid in advance.

Isles of Scilly and the
Scottish Islands. All
deliveries must be signed for

and which are small enough to
be put through your letterbox.
Please make sure you keep the
receipt enclosed with your
goods.
Delivery Charges
We make every effort to keep
our delivery charges as low as
possible. Our charge depends
on the type of product ordered
and whether you choose
standard delivery of 5 working
days or a premium service, and
whether or not you have all of
your products delivered at the
same time. You only pay one
delivery charge for each
order, irrespective of the
number of products ordered. If
you order two or more products
which fall into different
categories, the higher charge
applies.
The applicable standard
delivery charge is shown on
each product page. There are
additional charges if you
choose a premium delivery
service, or if you opt to have
your product installed or your
old appliance taken away. You
will always be able to see all
applicable charges before
submitting your order.
Please note that delivery
arrangements may differ if you
choose a delivered direct from
the supplier. You will be
given full delivery details
during the order process.
How We Deliver
Smaller products are generally
delivered either by courier or
by post. If your product is
one which is delivered by
courier, you may be given the
option of choosing a premium
delivery service for a small
extra charge during the order
process.
We will notify you which
delivery method we will use
when we send you the Order
Confirmation email. Very
occasionally different
products in the same order may
be delivered separately.
Delivery Times
For certain goods we will
specify an "expected delivery

the next weekday (if
