Terms of Service

These terms and conditions (together with the information and policies contained in the "Customer Service" pages on the website and any other documents referred in these terms and conditions) ("Terms and Conditions") set out the legal terms that apply to your use of our website, any of its sub-domains and any other websites operated by us or on our behalf and any mobile device application or desktop application developed by us or on our behalf (together, the "Websites" and "Website" being a reference to any one of them) and the other services that we provide (the "Services").

Please read these Terms and Conditions carefully and make sure that you understand them before using the Services. Please note that by using the Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions. If you do not accept these Terms and Conditions, you will not be able to use the Services and you should leave the Website immediately. If you continue to use the Website or if you order products, we will take this as your acceptance of these Terms and Conditions.

 

Understanding these Terms and Conditions

When certain words and phrases are used in these Terms and Conditions, they have specific meanings (these are known as 'defined terms'). You can identify these defined terms because they start with capital letters (even if they are not at the start of a sentence). Where a defined term is used, it has the meaning given to it in the section of the Terms and Conditions where it was defined (you can find these meanings by looking at the sentence where the defined term is included in brackets and speech marks).

When we refer to "we", "us" or "our", we mean where relevant, its affiliates. Where we refer to "you" or "your" we mean you, the person using the Services.

We have used headings to help you understand these Terms and Conditions and to easily locate information. We will not file copies of the contracts between us and you relating to our supply of the Services, or between you and the Sellers relating to the sale of the products, so we recommend that you print or save a copy of these Terms and Conditions for your records (but please note that we may amend these Terms and Conditions from time to time so please check the Website regularly, and each time you use the Services to order products, to ensure you understand the legal terms which apply at that time).

 

About us

We provide the Services to you through the Website. When you purchase products using the Website, you are purchasing them from the third party retailers ("Seller(s)") named on the Website. It is important that you understand that the contract for the purchase of the products is between you and the relevant Seller. We are acting as agent on behalf of the Sellers, which are the principals. You are not purchasing the products from us. We are authorized by the relevant Sellers to conclude the contract on their behalf but we are not a party to that contract and you are not purchasing the products from us.

 

Our services

The Services we offer allow you to search through the Website and purchase products from a number of Sellers worldwide. As part of the Services, we also provide some ancillary services such as arranging delivery of the products, providing you with customer service assistance and payment processing without charge. However, as stated above, the contract for the purchase of the products is between you and the relevant Seller. This means that it is the Seller (not us) who is legally responsible for selling the products to you.

Please note that the delivery logistics service is being provided by us to you and as such you are entering into a contract for delivery services provided by us. We may make a charge for these services which will be shown at checkout and prior to your purchase of the products. Your contract with us is concluded once the products have been delivered to you by the courier or have been collected by you from a Seller.

In order to use the Services you must be over 18 years of age.

 

Our liability to you in relation to the Services

If, in providing the Services to you, we fail to comply with these Terms and Conditions, we are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breach of these Terms and Conditions or our negligence, but we are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable. Loss or damage is foreseeable if it was an obvious consequence of our breach or if it was contemplated by you and us at the time you started using the Services.

We do not in any way exclude or limit our liability for: • (a) death or personal injury caused by our negligence; • (b) fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; • (c) any other liability which cannot be limited by law.

 

The products

We attempt to be as accurate as possible in the description of the products displayed on the Website. However, as the descriptions are based on information provided to us by the Sellers (who remain responsible for them), we cannot guarantee that all details are always accurate, complete or error free. The images of the products on the Website are for illustrative purposes only, and although we attempt to display colors accurately, we cannot guarantee that your computer's display of the images accurately reflect the true color of the products.

We do not allow Sellers to offer flawed items or products of lower quality than the corresponding market standards for sale on the website. If an item you have ordered is not as described, is flawed or of a lower quality, you can return it to us and we will liaise with the Seller to process the return. Once the item is received by the relevant Seller, you will receive a full refund of the defective item, or alternatively a discount, replacement or repair for the item where possible, decided by us on a case by case basis. We will refund you any applicable delivery charges and any reasonable costs you incur in returning the products (we will advise you whether the products will be collected from you or whether you need to arrange for them to be returned).

As a consumer, you have legal rights in relation to products that are faulty or not as described. Advice about your legal rights is available from your local Citizens' Advice Bureau or Trading Standards office. Nothing in these Terms and Conditions will affect these legal rights.
