2. YOUR STATUS
By placing an order through my site, you warrant that you are legally capable of entering into binding contracts.
3. HOW THE CONTRACT IS FORMED BETWEEN YOU AND ME
3.1 In the case of Hardware Products after placing an order, you will receive an e-mail from me acknowledging that I have received your order.
Please note that this does not mean that your order has been accepted.
Your order constitutes an offer to me to buy a Product.
All orders are subject to acceptance by me, and I will confirm such acceptance to you by sending you an e-mail that confirms that the Product has been despatched (the Despatch Confirmation).
The contract between us (Contract) will only be formed when I send you the Despatch Confirmation.
3.2 The Contract will relate only to those Products whose despatch I have confirmed in the Despatch Confirmation.
I will not be obliged to supply any other Products which may have been part of your order until the despatch of such Products has been confirmed in a separate Despatch Confirmation.
3.3 In the case of Software Products when you place an order for one or more Software Products you enter into a binding contract with me (Contract).
4. CONSUMER RIGHTS
4.1 In the case of Hardware Products only if you are contracting as a consumer, you may cancel a Contract at any time within seven working days, beginning on the day after you received the Hardware Products.
In this case, you will receive a full refund of the price paid for the Hardware Products in accordance with my refunds policy (set out in paragraph 8 below).
4.2 To cancel a Contract for Hardware Products, you must inform me in writing and return the Hardware Product(s) to me immediately, in the same condition in which you received them, and at your own cost and risk.
4.3 Under the Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations 2000 (Regulations) consumers are given the right to cancel orders for goods or services during a period of seven working days after the day on which delivery of goods takes place or the service being provided commences (the Cooling Off Period).
The Regulations contain several exceptions to the right to a Cooling Off Period.
These exceptions are relevant to the purchase of Software Products from me.
Accordingly you acknowledge that when you purchase a Software Product, once the Software Product is on your computer the Software Product is unsealed and your rights under the Cooling Off Period ended.
5. AVAILABILITY AND DELIVERY
In the case of Hardware Products your order will be fulfilled by the delivery date set out in the Despatch Confirmation or, if no delivery date is specified, then within 30 days of the date of the Despatch Confirmation, unless there are exceptional circumstances.
6. RISK, TITLE AND LICENCE
6.1 The Products will be at your risk from the time of delivery.
6.2 Ownership of the Hardware Products will only pass to you when I receive full payment of all sums due in respect of the Products, including delivery charges.
6.3 You do not own the Software Products.
I, instead, grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence (Content Licence) to download the Software Product to your personal computer solely for either educational purposes or for your personal non-commercial use.
You shall not (without limitation) copy, reproduce, 'rip', distribute or use the Software Product in any other manner, save as permitted by these terms and conditions.
For each Software Product purchased you may make one hard copy for educational purposes or for personal non-commercial use.
6.4 You shall not sell, transfer, sub licence, assign, lease, modify, distribute or publicly perform any of the content contained in the Software Product in any manner and you shall not exploit it commercially.
In addition you should not (without limitation) decompile, disassemble, or reverse engineer the Software Product or modify the Software Product or create any derivate works of the same.
6.5 The Content Licence will continue for as long as your copy of the Software Product exists pursuant to and in accordance with these terms and conditions.
6.6 Any unauthorised use of the Software Product shall automatically terminate the Content Licence granted to you.
7. PRICE AND PAYMENT
7.1 The price of any Products will be as quoted on my site from time to time, except in cases of obvious error.
7.2 These prices exclude any delivery costs in the case of Hardware Products, which will be added to the total amount due as set out in the prices section of my website.
7.3 Prices are liable to change at any time, but changes will not affect orders in respect of which I have already sent you a Despatch Confirmation or in the case of Software Products for which you have already placed and order.
7.4 My site contains a large number of Products and it is always possible that, despite my best efforts, some of the Products listed on my site may be incorrectly priced.
I will normally verify prices as part of my despatch procedures so that, where a Product's correct price is less than my stated price, I will charge the lower amount when despatching the Product to you.
If a Product’s correct price is higher than the price stated on my site, I will normally, at my discretion, either contact you for instructions before despatching the Product, or reject your order and notify you of such rejection.
7.5 I am under no obligation to provide the Product to you at the incorrect (lower) price, even after I have sent you a Despatch Confirmation, if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as a mis–pricing.
7.6 Payment for all Products must be by either Paypal or Invoice.
If payment is by cheque, the release of any downloadable software may be delayed until cheque has cleared.
8. MY REFUNDS POLICY
8.1 When you return a Hardware Product to me (for instance, because you have cancelled the Contract between us, or have notified me in accordance with paragraph 20 that you do not agree to any change in these terms and conditions or in any of my policies, or because you claim that the Hardware Product is defective), I will examine the returned Hardware Product and will notify you of your refund via e-mail within a reasonable period of time.
I will usually refund any money received from you using the same method originally used by you to pay for your purchase.
I will usually process the refund due to you as soon as possible and, in any case, within 30 days of the day I received your cancellation or the day I confirmed to you via e-mail that you were entitled to a refund for delivery of the defective Hardware Product.
8.2 Hardware Products returned by you because of a defect will be refunded in full, including a refund of the delivery charges for sending the item to you and the cost incurred by you in returning the item to me.
8.3 Hardware Products returned by you within the seven-day cooling-off period (see paragraph 4.1 above) will be refunded in full, including the cost of sending the item to you.
However, you will be responsible for the cost of returning the item to me.
8.4 In the case of a defect in a Software Product within 30 days of the date of you order please contact me and I will use all reasonable endeavours to rectify the defect.
In the event that I am unable to rectify the defect I will refund the purchase price in full in which case your Content Licence will be terminated with immediate effect, all copies of the Software Products affected must be deleted from your computer and any other electronic or magnetic media and all hardware copies must be destroyed.
