7     Your rights to end the contract

7.1  You can always end your contract with us. Your rights when you end the contract will depend on what you have bought, whether there is anything wrong with it, how we are performing, when you decide to end the contract and whether you are a consumer or business customer:

     7.1.1  If what you have bought is faulty or misdescribed you may have a legal right to end the contract (or to get the product repaired or replaced or a service re-performed or to get some or all of your money back), see clause 11 if you are a consumer and clause 12 if you are a business;

     7.1.2  If you want to end the contract because of something we have done or have told you we are going to do, see clause 7.2;

     7.1.3  If you are a consumer and have just changed your mind about the product, see clause 7.3. You may be able to get a refund if you are within the cooling-off period, but this may be subject to deductions and you will have to pay the costs of return of any goods  our refunds policy is available on our ecommerce site;

     7.1.4  In all other cases (if we are not at fault and you are not a consumer exercising your right to change your mind), see clause 7.6.

7.2  Ending the contract because of something we have done or are going to do. If you are ending a contract for a reason set out at clauses 7.2.1 to 7.2.5 below the contract will end immediately and we will refund you in full for any products which have not been provided and you may also be entitled to compensation. The reasons are:

     7.2.1  we have told you about an upcoming change to the product or these terms which you do not agree to (see clause 5.2);

     7.2.2  we have told you about an error in the price or description of the product you have ordered and you do not wish to proceed;

     7.2.3  there is a risk that supply of the products may be significantly delayed because of events outside our control;

     7.2.4  we have suspended supply of the products for technical reasons, or notify you we are going to suspend them for technical reasons, in each case for a period of more than 3 weeks; or

     7.2.5  you have a legal right to end the contract because of something we have done wrong.

7.3  Exercising your right to change your mind if you are a consumer (Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013). If you are a consumer then for most products bought online you have a legal right to change your mind within 14 days and receive a refund. These are rights under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013.

7.4  When consumers do not have a right to change their minds. Your right as a consumer to change your mind does not apply in respect of:

     7.4.1  used and not in the same condition that you received it or in the original packaging;

     7.4.2  digital products after you have started to download or stream these;

     7.4.3  services, once these have been completed, even if the cancellation period is still running; and

     7.4.4  any products which become mixed inseparably with other items after their delivery.

7.5  How long do consumers have to change their minds? If you are a consumer you have 14 days after the day you (or someone you nominate) receives the goods, unless your goods are split into several deliveries over different days. In this case you have until 14 days after the day you (or someone you nominate) receives the last delivery. 

7.6  Ending the contract where we are not at fault and there is no right to change your mind. Even if we are not at fault and you are not a consumer who has a right to change their mind you can still end the contract before it is completed. A contract for goods or digital content is completed when the product is delivered, downloaded or streamed and paid for. A contract for services is completed when we have finished providing the services and you have paid for them. If you want to end the contract in these circumstances, just contact us by email or phone to let us know.  If the goods have not been delivered the contract will end immediately and we will refund any sums paid by you for products not provided but we may deduct from that refund any costs we have incurred.  You may not end the contract where there is no fault after the goods have been delivered or services performed or digital content downloaded or streamed.

     8.6.2  where the product is a service, we may deduct from any refund an amount for the supply of the service for the period for which it was supplied, ending with the time when you told us you had changed your mind. The amount will be in proportion to what has been supplied, in comparison with the full coverage of the contract.

8.7  When your refund will be made. We will make any refunds due to you as soon as possible. If you are a consumer exercising your right to change your mind then:

13.1  Where to find the price for the product. The price of the product (which for UK customers or customers in the EU who are not VAT free includes VAT) will be the price indicated on the order pages when you placed your order on the ecommerce site. We take all reasonable care to ensure that the price of the product advised to you is correct. However please see clause 13.3 for what happens if we discover an error in the price of the product you order.

13.2  VAT or other sales tax. If VAT will be deducted at the checkout when you enter your shipping address.  If VAT or other sales tax changes between your order date and the date we supply the product, we will adjust the rate of VAT or other sales tax that you pay, unless you have already paid for the product in full before the change in the rate of VAT or other sales tax takes effect.

13.3  What happens if we got the price wrong. It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the products we sell may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices before accepting your order so that, where the product’s correct price at your order date is less than our stated price at your order date, we will charge the lower amount. If the product’s correct price 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. Any discounts offered are at our sole discretion and may be withdrawn by us at any time before we accept an order from you and a contract is formed.

13.4  When you must pay and how you must pay. We accept payment with cards listed on the payment section of our ecommerce site.

     13.4.1  We accept the following credit cards and debit cards: Visa, Mastercard and American Express. We do not accept cash.

     13.4.2  We will do all that we reasonably can to ensure that all of the information you give us when paying for the products is secure by using an encrypted secure payment mechanism. However, in the absence of negligence on our part, any failure by us to comply with this contract or our privacy policy or breach by us of our duties under applicable laws we will not be legally responsible to you for any loss that you may suffer if a third party gains unauthorised access to any information that you give us.

     13.4.3  All payments by credit card or debit card need to be authorised by the relevant card issuer. We may also need to use extra security steps via:

          13.4.3.1  Verified by Visa;

          13.4.3.2  MastercardSecureCode; or

          13.4.3.3  American Express SafeKey.

13.7  We can charge interest if you pay late. If you do not make any payment to us by the due date we may charge interest to you on the overdue amount at the rate of 4% a year above the base lending rate of the Bank of England from time to time. This interest shall accrue on a daily basis from the due date until the date of actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgment. You must pay us interest together with any overdue amount.

13.8  What to do if you think an invoice is wrong. If you think an invoice is wrong please contact us promptly on 01932 263 966 in the UK or by writing to us at ukcustomersupport@duplouk.com or using our online contact form to let us know.

14    Our responsibility for loss or damage suffered by you if you are a consumer

14.1  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.

14.2  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 products; and for defective products under the Consumer Protection Act 1987.

14.3  When we are liable for damage caused by defective digital content. If defective digital content which we have supplied damages a device or digital content belonging to you and this is caused by our failure to use reasonable care and skill we will either repair the damage or pay you compensation.

14.4  We are not liable for business losses. If you are a consumer we only supply the products for to you for domestic and private use. If you use the products for any commercial, business or re-sale purpose our liability to you will be limited as set out in clause 15.  Business losses shall include loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption or loss of business as a result of our performance of our obligations under these terms of business.

     15.1.3  breach of the terms implied by section 12 of the Sale of Goods Act 1979 or section 2 of the Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982; or

     15.1.4  any item it would be unlawful to exclude.

15.2  Except to the extent expressly stated in clause 12.1 all terms implied by sections 13 to 15 of the Sale of Goods Act 1979 and sections 3 to 5 of the Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982 are excluded.

15.3  Subject to clause 15.1:

     15.3.1  we shall not be liable to you, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty, or otherwise, for any loss of profit, or any indirect or consequential loss arising under or in connection with any contract between us; and

     15.3.2  our total liability to you for all other losses arising under or in connection with any contract between us, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty, or otherwise, shall be limited to the total sums paid by you for products under such contract.

16    How we will use your personal information. We will only use your personal information as set out in our privacy notice.

17    Other important terms

17.1  We may transfer this agreement to someone else. We may transfer our rights and obligations under these terms to another organisation. We will always tell you in writing if this happens and we will ensure that the transfer will not affect your rights under the contract.

17.2  You need our consent to transfer your rights to someone else (except that you can always 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. We may require the person to whom any guarantee is transferred to provide reasonable evidence that they are now the owner of the relevant item or property.

17.3  Nobody else has any rights under this contract (except someone you 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 unless we agree to this in writing.

17.4  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.

17.5  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 products, we can still require you to make the payment at a later date.

17.6  Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment.  The following clause shall apply to Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment “WEEE”, within the meaning of Directive 2002/96/EC as amended, and the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Regulations 2006 (SI 2006/3289) as amended (the “Regulations”). As a producer of WEEE and you as a user of WEEE agree that you shall be responsible for and arrange for the:-

     17.6.1  collection;

     17.6.2  treatment, including, where applicable, treatment at an authorised treatment facility(within the meaning of the Regulations);

     17.6.3  recovery;

     17.6.4  environmentally sound disposal of WEEE.

17.7  You shall pay us any costs or other liabilities (including in respect of our reasonable legal costs and other expenses) resulting from your non-compliance with this or any part of the Regulations and any enforcement action against us for your breach.

17.8  Which laws apply to this contract and where you may bring legal proceedings if you are a consumer. These terms are governed by English law and you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the products in the English courts. If you live in Scotland you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the products in either the Scottish or the English courts. If you live in Northern Ireland you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the products in either the Northern Irish or the English courts.

17.9  Which laws apply to this contract and where you may bring legal proceedings if you are a business. If you are a business, any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with a contract between us or its subject matter or formation (including non-contractual disputes or claims) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of England and Wales and the courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any such dispute or claim.

__utma

This cookie is typically written to the browser upon the first visit to your site from that web browser. If the cookie has been deleted by the browser operator, and the browser subsequently visits your site, a new __utma cookie is written with a different unique ID. This cookie is used to determine unique visitors to your site and it is updated with each page view. Additionally, this cookie is provided with a unique ID that Google Analytics uses to ensure both the validity and accessibility of the cookie as an extra security measure.

2 years from set/update.

__utmb

This cookie is used to establish and continue a user session with your site. When a user views a page on your site, the Google Analytics code attempts to update this cookie. If it does not find the cookie, a new one is written and a new session is established. Each time a user visits a different page on your site, this cookie is updated to expire in 30 minutes, thus continuing a single session for as long as user activity continues within 30-minute intervals. This cookie expires when a user pauses on a page on your site for longer than 30 minutes. You can modify the default length of a user session with the _setSessionCookieTimeout() method.

30 minutes from set/update.

__utmc

This cookie is no longer used by the ga.js tracking code to determine session status.

Historically, this cookie operated in conjunction with the __utmb cookie to determine whether or not to establish a new session for the user. For backwards compatibility purposes with sites still using the urchin.js tracking code, this cookie will continue to be written and will expire when the user exits the browser. However, if you are debugging your site tracking and you use the ga.js tracking code, you should not interpret the existence of this cookie in relation to a new or expired session.

Not set.

__utmz

This cookie stores the type of referral used by the visitor to reach your site, whether via a direct method, a referring link, a website search, or a campaign such as an ad or an email link. It is used to calculate search engine traffic, ad campaigns and page navigation within your own site. The cookie is updated with each page view to your site.

6 months from set/update.

_ga

This cookie is used with Google Universal Analytics. This cookie allows Google to track unique users via a client identifier that is randomly generated.

2 years from set/update.

The third party often provides these services in return for recognising that you have visited our website.
