6. Product purchases

6.1. Your submission of an order amounts to an offer to enter a contract to buy the Products from us.

To cancel your order please call 0117 973 0333, option 2. Orders cannot be amended once they have been placed.

6.3. Where we accept an order, we do all that we can to ensure that your order is fulfilled. Products are, however, subject to availability and market conditions and we do not always know if a Product is or will be available at the time of accepting an order. If we are unable to deliver an item you have ordered, we may offer a reasonable substitute. You may reject that substitute, and you will not be charged for it, or, if you have paid already, we will refund any amount paid for it. If we do not offer a substitute, we will remove the Product from your order so that you are not charged. We will, however, bear no liability for unavailability of Products.

6.4. Subject to clauses 6.5 below, the price that we charge you for the Products will be the price stated by us on the Website prior to you clicking the ‘place order’ button.

6.5. Some of our Products are priced by weight. We show the prices for weights on the Website. The average weight and price shown is for guidance only; the weight you receive may vary from this.

6.6. We sell only to end-users and our Products are not for re-sale. You warrant that you shall not re-sell any of the Products.

6.7. All prices for Products are inclusive of any applicable VAT.

R&W reserves the right to amend the charges made for delivery from time to time.

7.2 If you are adding new items to your order, the price charged will be the price quoted at the time you add to the order. The delivery charge shall be amended and applied in accordance with paragraph 7.2.

7.3 We will debit the total cost of your order, including any delivery charge or packaging cost that may be applied, from your debit or credit card at the time you place your order.

7.4 You are responsible for making suitable arrangements to receive your delivery and for giving us appropriate instructions. In the event that your delivery is stolen from your doorstep or damaged while there, we do not accept liability, and will only offer compensation at our discretion. We reserve the right to refuse to accept orders.

7.6 You are responsible for providing us with accurate delivery address details (including house numbers, street names and postcodes) and for making the appropriate arrangements to receive your order on the actual delivery day.

7.7 Our deliveries are made with “no signature required”.

7.8 If your delivery is refused or not accepted at a recipients address, we will not take responsibility for this and will not offer a free replacement box.

7.10 You must inspect the Products as soon as possible after delivery and notify us promptly if you find any defects, by calling us, emailing us or writing to us at the telephone number or address shown on our Website. In the event the Products do not meet your expectations or you are in any way dissatisfied, R&W may in its absolute discretion offer you a credit note or refund.

8. Availability of the Website

9.3 You have the right to cancel or amend your order any time up to midday two days before delivery. To cancel your order please call 0117 973 0333, option 2.

9.3. You can cancel your registration with us at any time by informing us in writing. If you do so, you must stop using R&W’s services.

10. Warranties and liabilities

10.1. Whilst R&W tries to ensure that material included on the Website, we cannot accept responsibility if, despite our endeavours, this is not the case.

10.3 The warranty in paragraph 10.2 above does not apply to faults or defects which have been caused by your mis-use and/or neglect of the Products or by damage caused while the Products are in your possession.

10.4 We will not be liable to you by way of representation (unless fraudulent), common law duty or under any express or implied term of the contract for:
any losses which are not foreseeable by you and us when the contact for the supply and purchase of the products is formed arising in connection with the supply of Products and related services or their use by you;
any losses which are not caused by any breach by us; or
business or trade losses (including, without limitation, loss of profits, loss of goodwill, loss of reputation and loss of business).

10.5 Subject to the provisions of paragraph 11, our entire liability in connection with the contract is for the supply and purchase of Products and will not exceed the purchase price of the Products ordered.

10.6. We shall not be liable for any delay or failure in the performance of our obligations due to events beyond our reasonable control such as but not limited to fire, flood, adverse weather, acts of God, strikes, labour disputes, riots, civil unrest, accident, disruption to energy supplies, equipment or supplier failure, road traffic problems, terrorism or war.

11. Your statutory rights

11.1 If you are a consumer (an individual acting outside of the course of your business or trade), there are certain terms implied into your contract with us, which we cannot exclude, or limit (for example, under the Sale of Goods Act 1979 we have to supply goods to you which are fit for their purpose).

11.2 It is important for you to know that nothing in these terms affects your statutory rights. If you would like more information on your statutory rights, contact your local Trading Standards Office (www.tradingstandards.gov.uk) or Citizens Advice Bureau (www.citizensadvice.org.uk).

13.1. You may not assign, sub-license or otherwise transfer any of your rights under these Terms and Conditions.

13.2. If any provision of these Terms and Conditions is found to be invalid by any court having competent jurisdiction, the invalidity of that provision will not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of these Terms and Conditions, which shall remain in full force and effect.

13.3. The provisions of the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 are expressly excluded from our contractual relationship with you so that no third party may claim any rights under that contractual relationship (but this shall not affect any right or remedy of a third party which exists or is available apart from that Act).

If you continue to use the R&W Website after the date on which the change comes into effect, your use of the R&W Website indicates your agreement to be bound by the new Terms and Conditions.
