You will have a chance to review your order prior to completing your purchase.
How we will accept your order. Acceptance of your order and the formation of a contract of sale between us will take place when we email you to accept it. Should we notify you of any changes to the order you have placed, you shall have the right to either amend your order accordingly or cancel your order. See the cancellation section below for further details.
If we cannot accept your order. If we are unable to accept your order, we will inform you of this in writing, via the email address that you used to place the order and will not charge you for the Goods. Reasons for not being able to accept your order may include us being unable to obtain payment authorisation, the Goods being out of stock, unexpected limits on our resources which we could not reasonably plan for, an error identified in the price or description of the Goods or because we are unable to meet a delivery deadline you have specified.
Your order number. We will assign an order number to your order and tell you what it is when we accept your order. This does not constitute an acceptance of your order. It will help us if you can tell us the order number whenever you contact us about your order.
For international orders. We may not be able to fulfil the order where national shipping restrictions apply to the Goods, if the delivery address is for an entity or individual providing freight forwarding services, or if the address provided is not a valid shipping address. If you are an international customer, please see our Shipping Information page, which lists the countries we can deliver to.
Goods purchased are for personal or gift use and should not be used for business or commercial use, re-sold or any other commercial benefit.

RIGHTS TO MAKE CHANGES
Your rights to make changes. If you wish to make a change to the Goods you have ordered please contact us. It is not always possible to make changes to order requests due to how quickly orders are processed. If it is possible, we will let you know about any changes to the price of the Goods, the timing of supply or anything else which would be necessary as a result of your requested change and ask you to confirm whether you wish to go ahead with the change. If we cannot make the change or the consequences of making the change are unacceptable to you, you may want to end the contract (see "Cancellation and Returns") by cancelling your order and you will be refunded in full. You can then place a different order if you wish.
Our rights to make changes. We may change the Goods:
- to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements; and
- to implement minor technical adjustments and improvements, for example, to address a security threat.
PRICING AND PAYMENT
Where to find the price for the Goods. The price of the Goods will be the price indicated on the order pages when you placed your order. All prices in GBP are quoted inclusive of VAT at the applicable rate.
We will pass on changes in the rate of VAT. If the rate of VAT changes between your order date and the date we supply the Goods, we will adjust the rate of VAT that you pay, unless you have already paid for the Goods in full before the change in the rate of VAT takes effect.
Prices and availability of Goods as detailed on the Site are subject to change from time to time and while we shall endeavour to ensure that such information is accurate, we may notify you of any changes prior to confirming your order.
What happens if we got the price wrong? It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the Goods we sell may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices before accepting your order so that, where the correct price of the Goods at your order date is less than our stated price at your order date, we will charge the lower amount. If the correct price of the Goods at your order date is higher than the price stated to you, we will contact you for your instructions before we accept your order. If we 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 end the contract, refund you any sums you have paid and require the return of any Goods provided to you.
When you must pay and how you must pay. For Goods, you must pay for the Goods before we dispatch them. We will not charge your credit or debit card until we dispatch the Goods to you.
You confirm that the details you provide to us in respect the credit/debit card or payment method being used are yours and that all details are complete, correct and accurate. You further confirm that the credit/debit card is valid.
We are not responsible for any amounts which may be applied by your card issuer or bank or payment method provider as a result of our processing of your credit/debit card payment or other method of payment in accordance with your order.
[Title of the Goods will pass to you on the date on which we receive payment in full for the Goods.]
Pricing for international orders. We shall endeavour to notify you if the price displayed is not fully inclusive of any customs duties or taxes. In some countries additional duties may be payable to your tax authorities on receipt of your delivery. We have no control over these charges and cannot predict their value. You will be responsible for payment of any such import duties and taxes. We recommend you contact your local customs authority to determine a landed cost price prior to submitting your order.
Card charges for international orders. If your credit/debit card or payment method is not denominated in the currency indicated in your order, the final price is calculated and charged by your card issuer or bank or payment method provider and therefore we shall not be responsible for any cost, expense, charge or other liability which may be incurred or suffered by you.
Gift Card payments. A Joseph Joseph Gift Card entitles the owner to purchase Goods up to the nominated value from the Site. Once used, the card value will only be valid in that currency. The value on the card can be used for purchases in whole or in part, and on multiple occasions, but can only be used up to the value of credit remaining on the card. Gift Cards cannot be topped up, exchanged or redeemed for cash, or transferred to another Joseph Joseph Gift Card. In the event of returning the order for a refund, the amount used from the promotion code will not be refunded.

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.
The maximum refund for delivery costs will be the costs of delivery by the least expensive delivery method we offer. For example, if we offer delivery of a product within 3-5 days at one cost but 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.
When your refund will be made. We will make any refunds due to you as soon as possible. If you are exercising your right to change your mind then if the products are Goods and we have not offered to collect them, your refund will be made within 14 days from 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 our Returns page.

LIABILITY
The use of this Site is on an "as is" and "as available" basis without any representations or any kind of warranty made (whether express or implied by law) to the extent permitted by law.
We are responsible to you for foreseeable loss and damage caused by us. If we fail to comply with these Terms, we are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breaking this contract or our failing to use reasonable care and skill, but we are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable. Loss or damage is foreseeable if either it is obvious that it will happen or if, at the time the contract was made, both we and you knew it might happen, for example, if you discussed it with us during the sales process.
We do not exclude or limit in any way our liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so. This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors; for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; for breach of your legal rights in relation to the Goods including the right to receive Goods which are: as described and match information we provided to you and any sample or model seen or examined by you; of satisfactory quality; fit for any particular purpose made known to us; supplied with reasonable skill and care; and for defective Goods under the Consumer Protection Act 1987.
We provide our Site and Goods for consumer use only, and not for any commercial or business or re-sale purposes. We are not liable to you for business losses and we will have no liability to you for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity.
WARRANTIES
We warrant that on delivery the Goods shall:
- conform in all material respects with their description on the Site;
- be free from material defects in design, material and workmanship;
- be of satisfactory quality (within the meaning of the Sale of Goods Act 1979); and be fit for purpose.
Our warranties only apply to the end customer of our Goods purchasing directly from our Site or from one of our authorised distributors. No warranty will be passed on to a third-party purchaser where there is an unauthorised commercial or business resale of our Goods.
Please see our Cancellation & Returns section for situations where your Goods arrive outside of this warranty.
While we take all reasonable care in the sourcing and packaging of the Goods, which should reach you materially as described on the Site, there may be minor variations due to factors beyond our reasonable control.
The above warranties are in addition to your legal rights in relation to Goods that are faulty or not as described. Advice about your legal rights is available from your local Citizens' Advice Bureau or Trading Standards office.
OTHER IMPORTANT TERMS
We may transfer this agreement to someone else. We may transfer our rights and obligations under these terms to another organisation. We will contact you to let you know if we plan to do this. If you are unhappy with the transfer, you may contact us to end the contract within 14 days of us telling you about it and we will refund you any payments you have made in advance for Goods not provided.
You need our consent to transfer your rights to someone else (except that you can transfer our guarantee). You may only transfer your rights or your obligations under these terms to another person if we agree to this in writing. However, where you are acting as a consumer, you may transfer our guarantee section to a person who has acquired the Goods from you; for example, by way of a gift. We may require the person to whom the guarantee is transferred to provide reasonable evidence that they are now the owner of the relevant item or property. Where our Goods are resold for commercial or business purposes, our guarantee may only be transferred where such resale is carried out by our authorised distributors. Guarantees will no longer be valid for Goods passed on by unauthorised resale.
Nobody else has any rights under this contract (except someone you properly pass your guarantee on to). This contract is between you and us. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms, except as explained in our Guarantee section in respect of our guarantee, more details of which can be found on our Guarantee page on our Site.
If a court finds part of this contract illegal, the rest will continue in force. Each of the paragraphs of these terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.
Even if we delay in enforcing this contract, we can still enforce it later. If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking this contract, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date. For example, if you miss a payment and we do not chase you but we continue to provide the Goods, we can still require you to make the payment at a later date.
VARIATION AND SEVERANCE

Some of the provisions contained in these Terms of Purchase may also be superseded by provisions or notices published elsewhere on the Site.
Each provision of these Terms of Purchase shall be construed separately and independently of each other. If any provision is deemed unlawful, void or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed to be severable from, and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of, any of the remaining provisions.
WAIVER
No waiver by us shall be construed as a waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach of any provision.
SURVIVAL
Each provision of these Terms of Purchase shall be construed as separately applying and surviving even if for any reason one or other of those provisions is held to be inapplicable or unenforceable in any circumstances.
ENTIRE AGREEMENT
