Consumer Terms of Agreement
PLEASE READ THESE TERMS OF SALE CAREFULLY BEFORE PLACING YOUR ORDER AND
RETAIN A COPY OF THESE TERMS AND YOUR ORDER FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
1. Format of the Contract
1.1 These terms of sale apply to all goods supplied by Iron Design Company
Cheltenham Ltd, whose registered office is at Sandy Pluck Lane, Shurdington,
Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, GL51 4UB (the "Supplier", or "we",
or "our").
1.2 Any order placed by you for goods advertised on our website is an offer
by you to purchase the goods selected in your order. No contract exists
between you and us for the sale of any goods until we have received your
order and accepted it (which we may do at our discretion).
1.3 We will send you an order acknowledgement shortly after you place your
order, notifying you that we have received your order. This acknowledgement
is not notification that we have accepted your order.
1.4 If we accept your order, we will notify you by email that we have accepted
it prior to dispatch of the goods. If we cannot accept your order (for example
(but without limitation) because the goods are found to be unavailable)
we will notify you by telephone or email.
1.5 In the event that, after we accept your order, we discover that the
goods ordered are unavailable or that there was a pricing error on our website
in respect of the goods ordered, we reserve the right not to supply the
goods ordered and to offer you a refund or alternative goods in accordance
with conditions 2.2 to 2.4 below.
1.6 The contract is subject to your right of cancellation (see condition
7 below).
1.7 We have the right to terminate the contract if the price of the goods
is not received from you in cleared funds (in accordance with condition
3.1). 1.8 The Supplier may change these terms of sale without notice to
you in relation to future sales.
2. Description and Price of the Goods
2.1 The description and price of the goods you order will be as shown on
the Supplier´s website at the time you place your order.
2.2 If after acceptance of your order we discover within 14 days of such
acceptance that all of the goods are unavailable, we may terminate the contract
and refund or re-credit you within 7 working days for any sum that has been
paid by you or debited from your credit card for those goods. In these circumstances,
we will inform you as soon as possible.
2.3 If within 14 days of our acceptance of your order we discover that some
but not all of the goods are unavailable, we will no longer supply those
unavailable goods. In these circumstances we will contact you detailing
the goods that are unavailable and offer you the option of cancelling the
whole order or amending your order to substitute the unavailable items with
alternative goods. If you have not cancelled the order within 14 days of
receipt of such notice, we will deliver the available goods in accordance
with condition 4 below. We will refund or re-credit you for any sum that
has been paid by you or debited from your credit card in respect of the
unavailable goods or cancelled order (if you have cancelled it).
2.4 Every effort is made to ensure that prices shown on the Supplier´s
website are accurate at the time you place your order. If within 14 days
of accepting your order a pricing error is found in respect of any or all
of the goods you have ordered, we will notify you as soon as possible detailing
the mis-priced goods and offering you the option of:
2.4.1 placing a new order at the correct price for those goods;
2.4.2 cancelling the whole of your order; or 2.4.3 cancelling your order
for the mis-priced goods and reconfirming your order for the correctly priced
goods. If, within 14 days of receipt of our notice to you, you have not
responded by selecting one of the available options at conditions 2.4.1
to 2.4.3 above then: (a) if all of the goods you have ordered are found
to be mis-priced, the entire order will be cancelled automatically and the
Supplier will refund or re-credit you for any sum you have paid for those
goods; or (b) if only some of the goods you have ordered are found to be
mis-priced, our contract with you continues and we will deliver the correctly
priced goods but we will not be obliged to supply you with the mis-priced
goods. In these circumstances we will refund or re-credit you for any sum
you have paid for the mis-priced goods.
2.5 To avoid any doubt, where goods are unavailable and you order alternative
goods from us, or where goods have been mis-priced and you subsequently
order such goods at the correct price, these terms of sale shall apply to
the order and the supply of the relevant goods, whether the order is placed
through our website or otherwise.
2.6 In addition to the price, you may be required to pay a delivery charge
for the goods, details of which are clearly displayed on our website at
the point that you place your order.
3. Payment
3.1 Payment for the goods and delivery charges can be made by any method
shown on the Supplier´s website at the time you place your order.
Payment shall be due before the delivery date and time for payment shall
be a fundamental term of this agreement, breach of which shall entitle the
Supplier to terminate the contract immediately.
3.2 There will be no delivery until cleared funds are received (with the
exception of business accounts where we have agreed credit facilities with
you).

4.3 If delivery cannot be made to your address for reasons under the Supplier´s
control the Supplier will inform you as soon as possible.
4.4 If you deliberately fail to take delivery of the goods (otherwise than
by reason of circumstances under control of the Supplier) then without prejudice
to any other right or remedy available to the Supplier , the Supplier may:
4.4.1 store the goods until actual delivery and charge you for reasonable
costs (including insurance) of storage; or
4.4.2 sell the goods at the best readily obtainable price and either (a),
where you have not already paid for the goods in question, account to you
(after deducting all reasonable storage and selling expenses) for any excess
over the price you agreed to pay for the goods or charge you for any shortfall
below the price you agreed to pay for the goods or (b), where you have already
paid for the goods in question, account to you (after deducting all reasonable
storage and selling expenses) for any proceeds received.
4.5 If you fail to take delivery because you have cancelled your contract
under the Distance Selling Regulations the Supplier shall refund or re-credit
you within 30 days for any sum that has been paid by you or debited from
your credit card for the goods. On exercising your right to cancel you shall
be required to return the goods to the Supplier. Should you fail to return
the goods, the Supplier reserves the right to deduct any direct costs incurred
by the Supplier in retrieving the goods as a result of such failure.
4.6 Every effort will be made to deliver the goods as soon as possible after
your order has been accepted. However, the Supplier will not be liable for
any loss or damage suffered by you through reasonable or unavoidable delay
in delivery. In this case, the Supplier will inform you of any delay as
soon as possible and will give you the option of cancelling your order at
this point.
4.7 Upon receipt of your order you will be asked to sign for the goods received
in good condition. If the package does not appear to be in good condition

that you make thereafter.
