If you reject goods which are in every respect what you ordered (being in accordance with specification, and not damaged on delivery) and you are not otherwise entitled to cancel your contract with us, we reserve the right to charge you the direct cost to us of collecting, testing, redelivering and storing the rejected goods.

DUTY TO TAKE CARE OF GOODS

You are under a duty to take reasonable care of goods you are rejecting, irrespective of whether they are faulty, not in accordance with specification, or were damaged on delivery.

  • prior to being returned to us, the goods are carefully, safely and securely stored;
  • at the time they are made available for collection, the goods are packaged in a manner which is adequate for transit, taking into account the nature of the goods being returned and the distance which they are required to travel (please use the original protective packaging if still available: we will not provide additional packaging or boxes).

13. RELEASE

Except where legislation which cannot be excluded (such as Applicable Consumer Law) would make this clause 13 illegal, or where the inclusion of this clause 13 would otherwise make us liable to a penalty, you release us from any claim that is made against us for damages or otherwise in respect of any loss, damage, death or injury arising from negligence or otherwise caused directly or indirectly by or arising out of the use or condition of Goods sold to you, except to the extent that such loss, damage, death or injury has been caused by us.
