All orders are subject to acceptance by us, and we will confirm such acceptance to you by sending you an e-mail that confirms that the Product has been dispatched (the Dispatch Confirmation). The contract between us (Contract) will only be formed when we send you the Dispatch Confirmation.

4.3 The Contract will relate only to those Products whose dispatch we have confirmed in the Dispatch Confirmation. We will not be obliged to supply any other Products which may have been part of your order until the dispatch of such Products has been confirmed in a separate Dispatch Confirmation.

In any event no longer than 30 days after the order is placed. In any of these scenarios we will not provide a refund of the amount paid.

5. If You Are A Consumer

5.1 If you are contracting as a consumer, you may cancel a Contract at any time from the date of the Dispatch Confirmation to the end of the cancellation period, which is fourteen days from the day after you received the Products. In this case, you will receive a full refund of the price paid for the Products (and standard delivery costs) in accordance with our refunds policy (set out in clause 10 below).

5.2 To cancel a Contract, you must inform us in writing via our e-mail address sales@tooled-up.com or by post to 78 Suez Road, Brimsdown, Enfield, Middlesex EN3 7PS. Please give us details of your order to help us identify it.

6.3 You acknowledge that in entering into this Contract you do not rely on any statement, representation, assurance or warranty (whether made innocently or negligently) that is not set out in these Terms.

7. Availability And Delivery

7.1 We will use reasonable endeavours to fulfil your order by the delivery date set out in the Dispatch Confirmation or, if no delivery date is specified, then delivery will be made within a reasonable time of the date of the Dispatch Confirmation, unless there are exceptional circumstances. Please note that all delivery dates are estimates only and we shall have no liability to you in relation to such delivery dates not being met.

7.2 If we are unable to supply you with a Product, for example because that Product is not in stock or no longer available or because we cannot meet your requested delivery date or because of an error in the price on our site, we will inform you of this by e-mail and we will not process your order. If you have already paid for the Products, we will refund you the full amount including any delivery costs charged as soon as possible.

8. Risk And Title

8.1 The Products will be at your risk from the time of delivery to the address you gave us.

8.2 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.

9. Price And Payment

9.1 The price of any Products will be as quoted on our site from time to time, except in cases of obvious error.

9.2 These prices include VAT but exclude delivery costs, which will be added to the total amount due. These can be viewed whilst in the shopping basket or checkout by entering your postcode. We reserve the right to apply a delivery charge or increase in the delivery charge for exceptional orders. By exceptional orders we mean bulk orders for items that result in a weight increase that would not be sent in a box normally around 20kgs in weight. We would notify you of this charge before dispatching your order.

9.3 Prices are liable to change at any time, but changes will not affect orders in respect of which we have already sent you a Dispatch Confirmation.

9.4 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 site may be incorrectly priced. 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 site, 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.

9.5 We are under no obligation to provide the Product to you at the incorrect (lower) price, even after we have sent you a Dispatch Confirmation, if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as a mis-pricing.

9.6 Payment for all Products and applicable delivery charges must be by credit or debit card in advance. We accept payment with Visa, Visa Debit, Mastercard, Visa Electron & Maestro.
