It is the responsibility of the Customer to determine the suitability of the goods for any application. There is no guarantee as to the goods suitability for any specific purpose even if that purpose is known to Standby UK.

Standby UK shall not be responsible for any loss or damage caused either directly or indirectly by the goods or by any act for omission in connection therewith.
If the exchange rate varies by so much that when buying goods originated outside the UK means that Standby UK would have to sell the goods on at a loss Standby UK reserves the right not to supply these goods without prejudice to either party even if the associated price list, quote or tender is still technically valid. Also, conversely Standby UK accepts their client will have rights where exchange variation means it is not profitable for them to trade with affected goods.

Order Process

All orders made through the website are subject to acceptance by Standby UK.
Standby UK reserves the right to decline to trade with any person or organisation. In addition, and not withstanding any other provisions of these conditions of sale, Standby UK may decline to accept any order. In the event that Standby UK declines to accept an order in respect of which payment has been received, the full amount of such payment will be refunded (including any delivery charges).
Website orders to be charged to a Credit Account held by a customer with Standby UK will only be accepted with an official purchase order number.
After submitting an order to us, we will send you an order acknowledgement email with your order details. Please note that this email is an acknowledgement and is not an acceptance of your order.
Acceptance of your order and the completion of the contract between you and us will take place on receipt of delivery to you of the products ordered unless we have notified you that we do not accept your order or you have cancelled it (see our Returns Policy).
When confirmation of your order is received, this is to indicate that we have received your order. It does not indicate that a contract exists between us. We will indicate acceptance of your order, and hence a contract between us, when we send you an invoice. We have included this term to protect us in the case that a mistake has been made in pricing, we have inadvertently under-priced goods, or we are no longer able to supply a particular product for some reason. In the case of a change of price, we will always contact you first to ensure that the price is acceptable.
For certain goods, information concerning stock availability is not available on this website. If you order goods which are not available from stock, we will contact you by email or telephone to discuss how you wish to proceed. You will have the option to wait until the goods are available from stock, or cancel your order in accordance with our returns policy.

Returns

Your rights to return goods are protected under the Distance Selling Directive.

You are entitled to cancel your order and return website offered goods within 14 days for a full refund, including the cost of delivery.

You must return the items within 14 days of contacting us. Your refund will be paid within 14 days of receipt of the goods. You (the buyer) are responsible for the cost and risk of loss or damage when returning the goods, so you should take out enough postal insurance to cover their value. This cancellation policy does not affect your rights when we are at fault – for example, if goods are faulty or miss-described.

Any goods should be in a saleable condition and be returned with the original box, packing and accessories. Software must be sealed. Any ‘Free Gifts’ received with the product must also be returned.

This policy applies to stock items, the only exception to this policy is for personalised products or products made to your specific requirements.

These terms apply to your order. We may change our terms and conditions at any time, so please do not assume that the same terms will apply in the future.

None of these terms affect your legal rights and these are not diminished in any way. If any term is held to be invalid under any applicable statute or rule of law, that term is automatically omitted from the terms to minimum extent necessary to comply with the law and without affecting the validity or enforceability of the remainder.

For goods that are personalised or made to your specific requirements or being returned after 28 days please contact us on 01543 438800 for more information.
In the event of any need to return goods, a Returns Number must be obtained by calling 01543 438800. This Returns Number along with the original order number must be clearly identified upon any paperwork returned with the goods.
