Please note that delivery dates may vary according to packaging requirements, size of goods, your location and circumstances beyond Our control.

7.4 at which point it will pass to you. Please note, however, that if you do not wish to collect the Goods and do not wish to use Our nominated carrier to deliver them, instead choosing your own carrier, the risk in the Goods will pass to you as soon as they are passed to your chosen carrier.

7.8 If We refuse to deliver the Goods, you may treat the Contract as being at an end and We will reimburse you without undue delay.

8. Faulty or Damaged Goods

8.1 All Our goods have been previously owned and will show signs of use. Signs of use are considered faults and, as such, our liability is limited to damaged goods only. Notwithstanding this, We commit to provide goods that are as described at the time of purchase, in accordance with any pre-contract information We have provided, and that match any items that you have seen or examined (unless We have made you aware of any differences). If any Goods you have purchased do not comply and are damaged when you receive them, please contact Us within 24 hours to inform Us of the damage. We endeavour to be as transparent as possible with condition reports and Our useful guide to these can be found by clicking here.

8.2 Please note that you will not be eligible for a refund under this Clause 8 if We informed you of any damage or other problems with the Goods before your purchase of them; if you have purchased the Goods for an unsuitable purpose that is neither obvious nor made known to Us and the problem has resulted from your use of the Goods for that purpose; or if the problem is the result of normal wear and tear, misuse or intentional or careless damage. Please also note that you may not return Goods to Us under this Clause 8 merely because you have changed your mind. Please refer to Clause 9 for details of what to do if you change your mind.

8.3 To return Goods to Us for any reason under this Clause 8, you may do so in person by appointment. If you paid for Our delivery service, you may alternatively request that We collect the Goods from you. Please ensure that the Goods are ready for collection at the agreed time and location. We may appoint a third party carrier to collect them in which case We will provide you with all relevant details.

8.4 Refunds (whether full or partial) under this Clause 8 will be issued within 14 Calendar Days of the day on which We agree that you are entitled to the refund.

9.3 All Goods must be returned to Us under this Clause 9 in the same condition they left Our premises, accompanied by proof of purchase.

9.4 You may return Goods to Us in person by appointment or you may return them by another suitable delivery service of your choice. You are solely responsible for the cost of returning Goods to Us under this Clause 9.

9.5 Refunds will be issued after we have inspected the Goods and are satisfied with their condition under Clause 9.3.

9.6 Refunds issued under Clause 9 will be for the full purchase price of the Goods. Any delivery charges will not be refunded.
