Occasionally our delivery to you may be affected by an Event Outside Our Control (please see clause 18 for our responsibilities when this happens).

10.4.1 we have refused to deliver the Products;
10.4.2 delivery within the delivery deadline was essential (taking into account all the relevant circumstances); or
10.4.3 you told us before we accepted your order that delivery within the delivery deadline was essential.
10.5 If you do not wish to cancel your order straight away, or do not have the right to do so under clause 10.4, you can give us a new deadline for delivery, which must be reasonable, and you can cancel your order if we do not meet the new deadline.
10.6 If you do choose to cancel your order for late delivery under clause 10.4 or clause 10.5, you can do so for just some of the Products or all of them, unless splitting them up would significantly reduce their value. If the Products have been delivered to you, you will have to return them to us or allow us to collect them, and we will pay the costs of this.

If you do not, after being asked by us, provide us with this information, or you provide us with incomplete or incorrect information, we may make an additional reasonable charge to cover any extra work that is required or we may need to suspend the Services. We will not be liable for any delay or non-performance where you have not provided the necessary information to us. We may also have to suspend the Services if we have to deal with technical problems, or to make improvements as agreed between you and us in writing. We will contact you to let you know in advance where this occurs, unless the problem is urgent or an emergency. You do not have to pay for the Services while they are suspended under but this does not affect your obligation to pay for any invoices that we have already sent to you.
11.4 In some circumstances, we may be unable to provide you with the Services that you require and may therefore request that a third party provides those Services to you (Third Party Services).

12. Your Consumer Right of Return and Refund
This clause 12 only applies if you are a consumer
12.1 If you are a consumer, you have the benefit of a 14 day cooling off period where you have a legal right to cancel a Contract for Products and / or Services under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013. Electric Radiators Direct extends this cooling off period to 30 days in respect of Products that are electric radiators only (for the avoidance of doubt, the 30 day cooling off period does not apply to Products that are not electric radiators or to any Services).
12.2 This means that during the relevant period set out in clause 12.4, if you change your mind for any reason and you do not want to keep a Product and / or receive Services, you can notify us of your decision to cancel the Contract and receive a refund. Advice about your legal right to cancel the Contract is available from your local Citizens' Advice Bureau or Trading Standards office.
12.3 However, this legal right to cancel does not apply in the case of:
12.3.1 Products made specifically for you or clearly personalised; and
12.3.2 any Products which become mixed inseparably with other items after their delivery.
12.4 Your legal right to cancel a Contract starts from the date of the Acceptance Confirmation (the date on which we contact you to confirm our acceptance of your order), which is when the Contract between us is formed. Your deadline for cancelling the Contract then depends on what you have ordered and how it is delivered, as set out in the table below:
Your Contract
End of the cancellation period
12.4.1 Your Contract is for Products not delivered on separate days:
The end date is the end of:
(a) 14 days after the day on which you receive a Product where the Product that you have purchased is not an electric radiator; or
(b) 30 days after the day on which you receive a Product where the Product that you have purchased is an electric radiator.
Example: if we provide you with an Acceptance Confirmation on 30 September and you receive the Product on 1 October, you may cancel at any time between 30 September and:
12.4.2 Your Contract is for Products delivered on separate days:
The end date is the end of:
(a) 14 days after the day on which you receive the last of the Products in respect of all Products that are not electric radiators; or
(b) 30 days after the day on which you receive a Product where that Product is an electric radiator or the end date stipulated in clause 12.4.2(a), whichever is the later.
Example: if we provide you with an Acceptance Confirmation on 30 September and you receive the first of the Products that you have purchased on 1 October and the last of them (being an electric radiator) on 15 October, you may cancel at any time between 30 September and:
Your Contract is for Services:
The end date is the end of 14 days after the day on which you receive the Acceptance Confirmation.
Example: if we provide you with an Acceptance Confirmation on 1 February whereby we agree to install your electric radiator, 15 February will be the last day of the cancellation period (subject to clause 12.8.2).
12.5 To cancel a Contract, you just need to let us know that you have decided to cancel. If you send us your cancellation notice by e-mail or by post, then your cancellation is effective from the date you send us the e-mail or post the letter to us. For example, you will have given us notice in time as long as you post your letter in time for it to be taken with the last post on the last day of the cancellation period or e-mail us before midnight on that day.
12.6 Please provide your name, address, telephone, number, the full product details and your order number to help us to identify your order and process your refund.
12.7 If we have to contact you or give you notice in writing, we will do so by e-mail or by pre-paid post to the address you provide to us in your order.
12.8 If you cancel your Contract we will:
12.8.1 refund you the price you paid for the Products. However, please note we are permitted by law to reduce your refund to reflect any reduction in the value of the Products, if this has been caused by your handling them in a way which would not be permitted in a shop;
12.8.2 refund you the price you paid for the Services but only to the extent that they have not been performed. You must pay for the supply of the Services for the period for which they have been supplied up until the time of cancellation. The price for Services supplied shall be determined in proportion to the full value of the Services to be performed under the Contract. We will not begin to supply any Services before the end of the cancellation period unless you expressly request that we do so in writing and acknowledge that your cancellation rights will be lost once the Services have been performed in full;
12.8.3 refund delivery costs (where you have paid for delivery) limited to the least expensive delivery method we offer (provided that this is a common and generally acceptable method). For example, if you place your order on a Friday and we offer delivery of the Product on the following Monday at one cost but you choose to have the Product delivered at the weekend at a higher cost, then we will only refund what you would have paid for the cheaper delivery option; and
12.8.4 make any refunds due to you as soon as possible and in any event within the deadlines indicated below:
(a) if you have received the Product and we have not offered to collect it from you, you will receive your refund within 14 days after the day on which we receive the Product back from you or, if earlier, the day on which you provide us with evidence that you have sent the Product back to us;
(b) if you have not received the Product or you have received it and we have offered to collect it from you, you will receive your refund 14 days after you inform us of your decision to cancel the Contract; and
(c) in respect of any Services that you have prepaid for, you will receive your refund 14 days after you inform us of your decision to cancel the Contract.
12.9 If you have returned the Products because they are faulty or not as described, we will refund the price of the Products in full, together with any applicable delivery charges, and any reasonable costs you incur in returning the Products to us.
12.10 We will refund you on the credit card or debit card used by you to pay. If you used vouchers to pay for the Products and / or Services we may refund you in vouchers.
12.11 If a Product has been delivered to you before you decide to cancel your Contract:
12.11.1 then you must return it to us without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days after the day on which you let us know that you wish to cancel the Contract in accordance with clause 12.5. You can send it back or return it to [our warehouse] at [Cardinal, Harling Road, Sharston Industrial Estate, Manchester, M22 4UX]. If we have offered to collect the Product from you, we will collect the Product from the address to which it was delivered. We will contact you to arrange a suitable time for collection using the email address or telephone number provided by you when you placed your order; and
12.11.2 you will be responsible for the cost of returning the Product to us unless the Product is faulty or not as described (in this case, see clause 12.9). We charge £20.00 to collect each large Product from you such as a radiator or electric heater. We will let you know the precise costs of collection prior to collecting any Products and we will only do so if you agree to pay the costs of collection.
12.12 We are under a legal duty to supply Products and / or Services that are in conformity with a Contract. If you are a consumer, you have legal rights in relation to Products that are faulty or not as described and Services that are not carried out with reasonable skill and care, or if the materials used are faulty or not as described. These legal rights are not affected by your right of return and refund in this clause 12 or anything else in these Terms and Conditions of Supply. Advice about your legal rights is available from your local Citizens' Advice Bureau or Trading Standards office.
13. Manufacturer’s Guarantee and Defective Products
13.1 Some of the Products we sell to you come with a manufacturer's guarantee. For details of the manufacturer’s guarantee and any applicable terms and conditions, please refer to the manufacturer's information provided with each Product.
13.2 If you are a consumer, a manufacturer's guarantee is in addition to, and does not affect, your legal rights in relation to Products that are faulty or not as described. Advice about your legal rights is available from your local Citizens' Advice Bureau or Trading Standards office.
13.3 In the unlikely event that there is a defect with a Product that manifests itself within the period of 6 months starting with the date on which the Products were delivered, you will be expected to give us a reasonable opportunity to repair or fix the defect. We will use every effort to do so as soon as reasonably practicable and you will not have to pay for this.

If you opt to cancel, you will have to return (at our cost) any relevant Products you have already received and we will arrange a full refund of the price you have paid for those Products (subject to clause 12.8.1 and clause 12.11), the Services (subject to clause 12.8.2) and the delivery charges (subject to clause 12.8.3).

1.1 Cookies are small text files which a website may put on your computer or mobile device when you first visit a website or page. The cookie will help the website, or another website, to recognise your device the next time you visit. Web beacons or other similar files can also do the same thing. We use the term “cookies” in this policy to refer to all files that collect information in this way.
1.2 There are many functions cookies serve. For example, they can help us to remember your username and preferences, analyse how well our Website is performing or even allow us to recommend content we believe will be most relevant to you.
1.3 Certain cookies contain personal information – for example, if you click “remember me” when logging in, a cookie will store your username. Most cookies won’t collect information that identifies you, and will instead collect more general information such as how users arrive at and use our Website or a user’s general location.
2. What sort of cookies do we use?
Generally, our cookies perform up to four different functions:
2.1 Essential cookies - Some cookies are essential for the operation of our Website. For example, some cookies allow us to identify subscribers and ensure they can access the subscription only pages.

They allow us to recognise and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around our Website when they are using it. This can help us to improve the way our Website works by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily. For example, we might use performance cookies to keep track of which pages are most popular, which method of linking between pages is most effective, and to determine why some pages are receiving error messages. We might also use these cookies to highlight articles or services that we think will be of interest to you based on your usage of our Website.
2.3 Functionality cookies - We use functionality cookies to allow us to remember your preferences for your return visits to our Website. For example, cookies can save you the trouble of typing in your username every time you access our Website.
