5. How the contract is formed between you and us
Your order constitutes an offer to us to buy a Product. All orders are subject to acceptance by us. After placing an order, we will confirm such acceptance to you of your submitted order by sending you an e-mail that confirms that your order for the Product(s) has been accepted (the “Order Confirmation”). The Contract between us will be formed only when we send you the Order Confirmation.
The Contract will relate only to those Products whose order we have confirmed in the Order Confirmation. We will not be obliged to supply any other Products which may have been part of your order until the order of such Products has been confirmed in a separate Order Confirmation.
In certain instances, such as where Products are dispatched from our own warehouses, we will endeavour to notify you by email of their dispatch although we are under no obligation to do so. Please note that this will not apply to all Products sold on our Website.
Whilst every effort is made to ensure a clear description of our Products we sell is provided there may be slight variations in size, shape and colour shown. Illustrations and descriptions supplied on our Website are for guidance only. We reserve the right from time to time vary the nature of the Products advertised without notice to you provided these variations do not materially alter the Products sold.
6. Consumer rights
If you are contracting as a consumer, you may cancel a Contract at any time within 7 Working Days, beginning on the day after you received the Products. In this case, you will receive a full refund of the price paid for the Products in accordance with our refunds policy.
To cancel a Contract, you must inform us in writing. You must also return the Product(s) to us immediately, in the same condition in which you received them, and at your own cost (which will be reimbursed to you provided the form of return is reasonable and has been agreed by us prior to return) and risk. You have a legal obligation to take reasonable care of the Products while they are in your possession. If you fail to comply with this obligation, we may have a right of action against you for compensation.
Refunds of all cancelled Contracts in accordance with this section will be made within 10 working days of notification to us of the cancelled Contract.
7. Risk and title
The Products will be at your risk from the time of delivery.
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.
8. Price and payment
The price of any Products will be as quoted on our Website from time to time, except in cases of obvious error.
These prices include VAT but exclude delivery costs, which will be added to the total amount due as set out in our Delivery Guide.
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 Confirmation.
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 Website may be incorrectly priced or showing as “In Stock” when they are no longer available. In the case of the latter instance, our call centre will contact you regarding this. We will normally verify prices as part of our dispatch procedures so that, where a Product's correct price is less than our stated price, we will charge the lower amount when dispatching the Product to you. If a Product's correct price is higher than the price stated on our Website, we will normally, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before dispatching the Product, or reject your order and notify you of such rejection.
We are under no obligation to provide the Product to you at the incorrect (lower) price, even after we have sent you an Order Confirmation, if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as a mis-pricing.
Payment for all Products must be by credit or debit card either over the phone or via our website. We accept payment via:
MasterCard
Visa
Solo
Electron
Visa Debit
We will charge your credit or debit card upon Order Confirmation. We will only accept orders for items which are currently showing as “In Stock” on our Website when you place your order. In the event that a Product is listed as being in stock but is found to be of unsatisfactory quality at the time of intended dispatch, we will notify you immediately via our call centre and if for any reason we are unable to fulfil your order within 30 days, we will refund the price paid by you at that time normally via the same method of payment by which you made your purchase.
Notwithstanding any other rights we may have (which are specifically reserved), in the event that we are unable to take full payment of the Products from your specified account, we reserve the right to cancel the Contract forthwith or to suspend any further deliveries to you.
All reasonable care is taken by us to ensure all information provided by you in connection with your order is secure.

14. Electrical & Electronic Equipment Recycling
You can now recycle your old electrical with us.
If you are buying a new electrical item, we will recycle your old one for free.
Why recycle?
Unwanted electrical equipment is the UKs fastest growing type of waste.
Many electrical items can be repaired or recycled, saving natural resources and the environment. If you do not recycle, electrical equipment will end up in landfill where hazardous substances will leak out and cause soil and water contamination - harming wildlife and also human health.
We are pleased to offer our customers the chance to recycle their old electrical items.
As a distributor of electrical and electronic products we offer a free of charge take-back service at all of our Garden Centres when you purchase a similar product. Simply return your old item to our Garden Centres within 28 days of buying your new product. Please bring your new receipt with you.
To remind you that old electrical equipment can be recycled, it is now marked with a crossed-out wheeled bin symbol. Please do not throw any electrical equipment (including those marked with the crossed out wheeled bin symbol) in your bin.
What is WEEE?
The Waste Electrical or Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive requires countries to maximise separate collection and environmentally friendly processing of these items. In the UK, distributors (including retailers) must provide a system which allows all customers buying new electrical equipment the opportunity to recycle their old items free of charge.
Find out more information on WEEE recycling, and locate your local recycling centre at www.recycle-more.co.uk
15. Battery Recycling
In 2009, new regulations on the recycling of batteries and accumulators (rechargeable batteries) were introduced. The Batteries Regulations aim to significantly increase UK collection and recycling of used portable batteries from the current rate of about 3% to 25% by 2012, rising to at least 45% in 2016.
As a distributor of batteries we run an in-store take back scheme, for recycling old batteries free of charge.
There is no obligation to buy new batteries when bringing back an old battery.
Most supermarkets and shops that sell batteries will have collection bins for used batteries, and some town halls, libraries or schools may also set up collection points. End-users may find stores in their local area more accessible.
Find out more information on WEEE recycling, and locate your local recycling centre at www.recycle-more.co.uk/batteries
