RIGHT OF RETURN AND REFUND


Clause 9.1 to 9.9 only applies if you are a consumer.

9.1 If you are a consumer based in the UK, you have a legal right to cancel a Contract under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 during the period set out below in clause 9.3. This means that during the relevant period if you change your mind or decide for any other reason that you do not want to receive or keep a Product, 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.

9.2 However, this cancellation right does not apply in the case of:

(a) Any Products which are made to your specifications or are clearly personalised.

(b) Any Products which consist of sealed audio or sealed video recordings or sealed computer software, once these Products are unsealed after you receive them.

(c) any Products which become mixed inseparably with other items after their delivery.

(d) Any in-ear earphones, headphones or Bluetooth headset due to hygiene reasons unless the packaging is sealed and unopened.

9.3 Your legal right to cancel a Contract starts from the date of the Dispatch Confirmation (the date on which we e-mail 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:

9.4 Your Contract is for a single Product (or multiple products delivered in one instalment). The end date is the end of 14 days after the day on which you receive the Product. Example: if we provide you with a Dispatch Confirmation on 1 January and you receive the Product on 10 January you may cancel at any time between 1 January and the end of the day on 24 January.

 

9.5 To cancel a Contract, you just need to let us know that you have decided to cancel. You may use a copy of the form which is attached at the back of these Terms as a schedule.

You can also e-mail us at ThreeAccessories@fonua.co. If you are e-mailing us or writing to us please include details of your order to help us to identify it. 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 get your letter into the last post on the last day of the cancellation period or e-mail us before midnight on that day.

9.6 If you cancel your Contract we will:

(a) 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 goods, if this has been caused by your handling them in a way which would not be permitted in a shop. If we refund you the price paid before we are able to inspect the goods and later discover you have handled them in an unacceptable way, you must pay us an appropriate amount.

(b) refund any delivery costs you have paid, although, as permitted by law, the maximum refund will be the costs of delivery by the least expensive delivery method we offer (provided that this is a common and generally acceptable method). For example, if you choose to have the Product delivered within 24 hours at a higher cost, then we will only refund what you would have paid for the cheaper delivery option.

(c) make any refunds due to you as soon as possible and in any event within the deadlines indicated below:

(i) if you have received the Product and we have not offered to collect it from you: 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. For information about how to return a Product to us, see clause 9.8;

(ii) if you have not received the Product or received it and we have offered to collect it from you: 14 days after you inform us of your decision to cancel the Contract.

9.7 If you have returned the Products to us under this clause 9 because they are faulty or mis-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 item to us.

9.8 We will refund you on the credit card or debit card used by you to pay. If you used vouchers to pay for the Product we may refund you in vouchers.

9.9 If a Product has been delivered to you before you decide to cancel your Contract:

(a) 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. You must send it back. Please see our Returns page for our return’s information.

(b) unless the Product is faulty or not as described (in this case, see clause 9.6), you will be responsible for the cost of returning the Products to us. If the Product is one which cannot be returned by post, we estimate that if you use the carrier which delivered the Product to you, these costs should not exceed the sums we charged you for delivery.

9.10 Because you are a consumer, we are under a legal duty to supply Products that are in conformity with this Contract. As a consumer, you have legal rights in relation to Products that are faulty or not as described. These legal rights are not affected by your right of return and refund in this clause 9 or anything else in these Terms. Advice about your legal rights is available from your local Citizens' Advice Bureau or Trading Standards office.

9.11 If you are a business then once an order has been accepted you have no right to cancel the order.

DELIVERY


10.1 We will contact you with an estimated delivery date. We will endeavour to deliver the Products and or perform the Services by the date(s) confirmed by us. Delivery dates are estimated only. Time of delivery will not be of the essence unless specifically agreed otherwise in advance and in writing in relation to that order. Occasionally our delivery to you may be affected by an Event Outside Our Control. See clause 18 for our responsibilities when this happens.

10.2 If no one is available at your address to take delivery, we will leave you a note that the Products have been returned, in which case you should contact the courier with the details on the despatch notification.

10.3 Where applicable we reserve the right to make deliveries in instalments, which shall not relieve you from your obligation to pay for remaining deliveries. You will check all delivery documentation upon delivery or collection and will inspect all Products

10.4 If you are a consumer then delivery of an Order shall be completed when we deliver the Products to the address you gave us and the Products will be your responsibility from that time.

10.5 You own the Products on the earliest of

(i) receipt by us of payment in full (via any on-site payment method); or

(ii) receipt of delivery of the Products to you (where late pay or instalment payment has been elected as described in clause 14), including all applicable delivery charges.

PRICE OF PRODUCTS AND DELIVERY CHARGES


11.1 The prices of the Products will be as quoted on our site at the time you submit your order. We take all reasonable care to ensure that the prices of Products are correct at the time when the relevant information was entered onto the system. However please see clause 13.5 for what happens if we discover an error in the price of Product(s) you ordered.

11.2 Prices for our Products may change from time to time, but changes will not affect any order you have already placed.

11.3 The price of a Product includes VAT (where applicable) at the applicable current rate chargeable in the UK for the time being. However, if the rate of VAT changes between the date of your order and the date of delivery, we will adjust the VAT you pay, unless you have already paid for the Products in full before the change in VAT takes effect.

11.4 The price of a Product does not include delivery charges. Our delivery charges are as advised to you during the check-out process, before you confirm your order.

11.5 Our site contains a large number of Products. It is always possible that some of the Products on our site may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices as part of our dispatch procedures so that:

(a) where the Product's correct price is less than the price stated on our site, we will charge the lower amount when dispatching the Products to you; and

(b) if the Product's correct price is higher than the price stated on our site, we will contact you as soon as possible to inform you of this error and we will give you the option of continuing to purchase the Product at the correct price or cancelling your order. We will not process your order until we have your instructions. If we are unable to contact you using the contact details you provided during the order process, we will treat the order as cancelled and notify you in writing. However, if we mistakenly accept and process your order where a pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could reasonably have been recognised by you as a mispricing, we may cancel supply of the Product and refund you any sums you have paid.

HOW TO PAY


12.1 You can only pay for Products using a debit card or credit card.

12.2 Payment will be in the method chosen by You from the selection available on the checkout for the Products.

12.3 Payment for the Products and all applicable delivery charges is in advance. We will not charge your debit card or credit card until we dispatch your order.

MANUFACTURER GUARANTEES


13.1 Some of the Products we sell to you come with a manufacturer's guarantee. For details of the applicable terms and conditions, please refer to the manufacturer's guarantee provided with the Products.

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.

17.5 If we fail to insist that you perform any of your obligations under these Terms, or if we do not enforce our rights against you, or if we delay in doing so, that will not mean that we have waived our rights against you and will not mean that you do not have to comply with those obligations.
