Terms & Conditions

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE FOR gmdpennine.co.uk

SUMMARY

Our terms and conditions are much the same as anywhere else. Points to note:
If you order something which has to be made or altered just for you, we may not be able to accept a return (unless it’s faulty, of course.) This is a standard clause. Wherever possible, we will contact you to confirm this before proceeding with the order.
Many of our products are very large, very heavy or both. Please bear this in mind when ordering – in many cases, you must be able to receive and inspect your delivery at the agreed time, or you may find that your order is returned to us and you will need to pay extra to have it redelivered.
If in doubt, ask!

7 CANCELLATION AND RETURN

The Buyer may cancel the order for any reason up to the point of dispatch and any payments made by the Buyer shall be refunded in full within 28 days, unless the Goods have been manufactured or customised to the Buyer’s requirements and are unsuitable for general sale, in which case the Seller is entitled to recover any costs incurred from the Buyer.
The Buyer shall inspect the Goods immediately upon receipt and shall notify the Seller by telephone on 01254 693 196 or by email at sales@gmdpennine.co.uk within 48 hours if the Goods are damaged or do not comply with any of the Contract.

Where the Buyer is a Consumer they have the right under the Distance Selling Regulations, in addition to their other rights, to cancel the Contract and receive a refund by informing the Seller by telephone on 01254 693 196 or by email at sales@gmdpennine.co.uk within 7 working days of receipt of the Goods, unless the Goods have been manufactured or customised for the Buyer as stated in clause 7.1.
Where the Buyer is not a Consumer they may request that the Seller cancels the Contract after despatch of the Goods. The Seller may refuse this request for any reason. In the event that the Seller accepts the cancellation of the Contract, the Buyer is responsible for the costs of returning the Goods. The Seller may levy a restocking fee, which is normally set at 25% of the value of the Goods but may vary at the Seller’s discretion.
Goods must be returned by the Buyer at the Buyer’s expense within 28 days of cancellation in the original packaging (if possible) and should be adequately insured during the return journey. The Buyer will receive a refund of all monies paid for the Goods, excluding delivery charges (and return postal charges if any). If the Buyer fails to return the Goods following cancellation, the Seller shall be entitled to deduct the cost of recovering the Goods from the Buyer.
Goods to be returned must clearly show the order number obtained from the Seller on the package.
Where returned Goods are found to be damaged due to the Buyer’s negligence of their duty of care, the Buyer will be liable for the cost of remedying such damage.

Except as may be implied by law where the Buyer is dealing as a Consumer, in the event of any breach of these Terms and Conditions by the Seller the remedies of the Buyer shall be limited to damages which shall in no circumstances exceed the price of the Goods and the Seller shall under no circumstances be liable for any indirect, incidental or consequential loss or damage whatever.
