TRANSACTIONS CONCLUDED THROUGH OUR SITE
Contracts for the supply of goods and services formed through our site are governed by our terms and conditions of supply.
Placing an order
The information displayed on our site represents an opportunity for you to assess the goods and services on our site. No offer for the sale of these goods and services is being made to you by us via the content you have accessed through our site.
Any order you send to us for the purchase of specific goods and/or services constitutes an offer for the goods and/or services selected.
We are not obliged to accept your order. We will send you a first email letting you know that we have received your order. We will then check your order, which includes performing a credit check, and decide whether to accept it. No price, or other information displayed on our site will bind us until we have accepted your order. The price you will be charged for any goods or services will be the price in force when your order is accepted by us. If we do accept your order, a contract will be created at the time we send you a second email confirming your order. You will be deemed to have received our acceptance of your offer once we have correctly sent an email to your electronic mail box.
We can only accept orders from persons aged 18 years or older and who are residents of the United Kingdom. Your order will only be accepted if you supply us with a UK delivery address.
We reserve the right to limit the number of orders per person and/or per household.
All the products and services shown on our site are for new customers only, unless we let you know otherwise.
Pre orders and out of stock orders
Whenever you pre-order online (i.e. order a device before it is launched), or order a device that is currently out of stock, we will aim to send it to you within 30 days either of the launch date (pre-orders) or of your order (out of stock devices). Sometimes, due to demand, we will not be able to send it to you within this time. If so, we will let you know and if you are unhappy to wait more than 30 days, you can cancel this order. This means we will refund any deposit or amount you have paid for the device and cancel your account. If you are an upgrading customer, and you decide to cancel this kind of order, you’ll still have to pay for any services used before cancelling.
When you pre-order or order a device that is out of stock your contract with us starts when your order is accepted but your plan will start at (and you will be charged from) the moment we send your new device out to you (i.e. just before you receive it).
UPLOADING MATERIAL TO OUR SITE

GENERAL
