Terms & Conditions for Consumers

1. These terms

1.1 These are the terms and conditions on which we supply products to our consumer customers (i.e. not businesses).

1.2 Please read these terms carefully before you submit your order to us. These terms tell you who we are, how we will provide products to you, how either of us may change or end the contract, what to do if there is a problem and other important information. If you think that there is a mistake in these terms, please contact us to discuss.

2. Information about us and how to contact us

2.1 We are Graham Tyson a trading brand of Taylor-Davis Limited, a company registered in England and Wales. Our company registration number is 00978584 and our registered office is at Moat Works, Moat Road, West Wilts Trading Estate, Westbury, Wiltshire BA13 4JF.

2.2 You can contact us by telephoning our customer service team at 01275 870840by writing to us at sales@grahamtyson.com or completing the “Contact us” form on our website.

2.3 If we have to contact you we will do so by telephone or by writing to you at the email address or postal address you provided to us in your order or enquiry.

2.4 When we use the words "writing" or "written" in these terms, this includes emails.

3. Our contract with you

3.1 Our acceptance of your order will take place when we email you to accept it, at which point a contract will come into existence between you and us.

3.2 If we are unable to accept your order, we will inform you of this and will not charge you for the products. This might be because the products are out of stock, because of unexpected limits on our resources which we could not reasonably plan for, because we have identified an error in the price or description of the products or because we are unable to meet a delivery deadline you have specified.

3.3 We will assign your order with a number. It will help us if you can quote your order number whenever you contact us about your order.

4. Our products

4.1 The images of the products on our website are for illustrative purposes only. Although we have made every effort to display the colours, weights and sizes accurately, we cannot guarantee that a device's display accurately reflects the products. Your products may vary slightly from those images.

4.2 The packaging of the products may vary from the images displayed on our website.

5. The right to make changes to the products

All of our products are manufactured by a third party and cannot be modified by us to suit your requirements. The manufacturer may change the products to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements or implement minor technical adjustments and improvements.

6. Price and payment

6.1 The price of the products (which includes VAT) will be the price indicated to you when you place your order. We take all reasonable care to ensure that the price of the products advised to you is correct. However, please see clause 6.3 for what happens if we discover an error in the price of the products you order.

6.2 If the rate of VAT changes between your order date and the date we supply the products, we will adjust the rate of VAT that you pay, unless you have already paid for the products in full before the change in the rate of VAT takes effect.

6.3 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 the price stated 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 products provided to you.

6.4 You can pay for the products ordered from us by debit or credit card. You must pay for any products during the order process, before we dispatch the products to you.

6.5 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 8% 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.

6.6 If you think an invoice is wrong please contact us promptly to let us know. You will not have to pay any interest until the dispute is resolved. Once the dispute is resolved we will charge you interest on correctly invoiced sums from the original due date.

7. Providing the products

7.1 The costs of delivery will be provided to you as part of the order process.

7.2 During the order process we will let you know when we will provide the products to you. We will deliver the products to you as soon as reasonably possible and in any event within 30 days after the day on which we accept your order.

7.3 If our supply of the products is delayed by an event outside our control then we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and we will take steps to minimise the effect of the delay. Provided we do this we will not be liable for delays caused by the event, but if there is a risk of substantial delay you may contact us to end the contract and receive a refund for any products you have paid for but not received.

7.4 If you have asked to collect the products from our premises, we will advise you of a collection time slot.

7.5 If no one is available at your address to take delivery and the products cannot be posted through your letterbox, we or our third party couriers will either:

7.8 You own the products once we have received payment in full.

7.9 We may need certain information from you so that we can supply the products to you, for example, your full name, address and a telephone number. We will collect this information as part of the ordering process. If you do not give us this information when requested, or if you give us incomplete or incorrect information, we may either end the contract (and clause 11.1 will apply) or make an additional charge of a reasonable sum to compensate us for any extra work that is required as a result. We will not be responsible for supplying the products late or not supplying any part of them if this is caused by you not giving us the information we need within a reasonable time of us asking for it.

9.2 If you are ending a contract for a reason set out at (a) to (d) 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:

(d) you have a legal right to end the contract because of something we have done wrong (including because we have delivered late.

9.3 How long you have to exercise the right to change your mind (Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013) depends on how the products were delivered.

15.5 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.
