Order Acceptance and Processing

1. After placing an order for Goods we will process your credit or debit card for payment. As soon as we have received authorisation for the payment from your card provider, we will begin to process your order through our system and we will send you an email acknowledging receipt of your order. However, please note that this does not mean that we have accepted your order. Our acceptance of your order will take place when we confirm your Goods are available for collection. The contract between us will only be formed when we send you such confirmation.
2. The price payable for the Goods is as set out on our site at the time you submit your order. All prices exclude the current applicable VAT rate (and all relevant VAT will be added on at the end of the order).
3. We reserve the right to update prices in future which will then supersede the prices in any catalogue or on our site. We also reserve the right to change the price of commodity goods, such as copper, at any time due to market conditions but we will confirm the prevailing price with you before accepting your order or purchase.
4. Occasionally, an error may occur and Goods may be either incorrectly priced or described in which case we will not be obliged to supply the Goods at the incorrect price or in accordance with the incorrect description or at all. We reserve the right to correct any errors from time to time. We will (at our discretion) either cancel your order for Goods and refund the price you have paid or use reasonable endeavours to contact you and ask you whether you wish to continue with the order for the Goods at the correct price or correct description. If we are unable to contact you or you do not wish to continue with the order at the correct price or correct description, we will cancel your order and refund the price you have paid. We may refund you by way of cheque sent to the address of the relevant trade card account holder if we are unable to contact you.
5. The images of the Goods on our site are for illustrative purposes only. Although we have made every effort to display the colours accurately, we cannot guarantee that your computer's display of the colours accurately reflect the colour of the Goods. Your Goods may vary slightly from those images. Although we have made every effort to be as accurate as possible, all sizes, weights, capacities, dimensions and measurements indicated on our site have a 2% tolerance. The packaging of the Goods may vary from that shown on images on our site.
6. We must receive payment for the whole of the price of the Goods you order and purchase before your order can be processed. Order payment can be made by most major credit or debit cards, by completing the relevant details on the checkout page.
7. By using a credit/debit card to pay for your order or purchase, you confirm that the card being used is yours or that you are authorised to use it.
8. All credit/debit card holders are subject to validation checks and authorisation by the card issuer. If the issuer of the card refuses to authorise payment we will not accept your order or purchase, we will not be obliged to inform you of the reason for the refusal, and we will not be liable for the Goods not being provided to you. We are not responsible for the card issuer or bank charging the holder of the card as a result of our processing of your credit/debit card payment in accordance with your order or purchase. We recommend that you do not communicate your payment card details to anyone, including us, by email.

We reserve the right to cancel your order or purchase if we reasonably believe you do not meet the age restrictions for certain Goods.

Collection of Goods

1. We will send you an email confirmation once your order is available for collection. You are required to bring your order confirmation email with you to collect your order, either printed or visible on a personal device. We are under no obligation to release Goods without sight of a valid order confirmation email.
2. We aim to make your order available for collection within one trading hour of receipt of your order if you've requested same-day collection. A trading hour is an hour that the collection branch is open for business.

5. Without prejudice to the statutory rights under English law, we accept no liability for any failure to make products available for collection where this results from our inability to do so resulting from acts of god, civil commotion, riots, flood, drought, fire, legislation, industrial action or other factors outside it's control, or our decision on reasonable grounds not to do so for reasons of suspicion of credit card fraud or similar, or for any other reason including insufficient stocks. We will take all reasonable steps to notify you that products will not be available as ordered. In such cases we will not process any payment, or will immediately refund any payment made, in full. It is your responsibility to ensure that you order from us with sufficient lead time to prevent any loss or disappointment resulting from non-availability of Goods.

Your Right to Cancel

1. If you change your mind, you may cancel your order in accordance with this clause 5. However, your right of cancellation set out in this clause does not apply to Goods that are cut or mixed to your requirements, made to measure, made to your specifications or clearly personalised (for example, made to order kitchen goods, mixed paint or embroidery goods). Your right of cancellation also does not apply to Goods which are not suitable for return due to health protection or hygiene reasons (such as water pumps, toilets and macerators) if you have opened the product packaging after collection. Boilers which have had the product box/packaging opened cannot be returned for refund or credit.
2. When Goods have been returned to us in accordance with these Terms, we will refund you the price paid for the relevant Goods (less any applicable re-stocking charge) using the same means of payment as you used to pay for your purchase.
3. Cancellation Prior to Collection: You may cancel an order within 7 days of the date the Goods are made available for collection by contacting the collection branch for a full refund.
4. Uncollected Orders: If do not collect your order within 7 days, we may cancel your order and refund to you the price that you have paid for the Goods less a restocking charge of 15% of the order total.
5. Returns after Collection: You may cancel your order by returning the Goods in their original packaging and in a saleable condition to a trade counter in any Selco branch within 28 days of the date your order was made available for collection. You will lose your right to cancel under this clause 5 after the expiry of the 28 day period.

Faulty Goods or incorrect Goods:

2. Subject to clauses 6.3, 6.4 and 6.6 if any of the Goods do not conform with the warranty in clause 6.1, our liability in respect of any defect is, at our option, limited to repairing, replacing (or procuring the repair or replacement by the manufacturer) of the defective Goods (or the defective part) or to making a pro rata refund. We shall be given a reasonable period in which to complete the necessary repair or deliver the replacement or otherwise rectify such defect. If we comply with this clause 6.2, we shall have no further liability for breach of the warranty in clause 6.1 in respect of such Goods.
3. Our liability under the warranty in clause 6.1 shall automatically cease if:
4. • you fail to notify us of the damage/defect as soon as possible after becoming aware of it; or
   • you make any further use of the Goods after giving such notice; or
   • the defect arises because the you failed to follow oral or written directions for storage, use etc. (or if there are none, good trade practice); or
   • you, when requested by us so to do, either fail to return the defective Goods to us as soon as possible, but in any event within 21 days of such request, or, fail to make the defective Goods available for inspection by us, our agents, and where applicable by the manufacturer; or
   • you permit persons other than us, our employees or agents to effect or attempt any repair or replacement or other rectification of defective Goods.
5. You will be deemed to have accepted the Goods if you either use the Goods, or have not notified us of any defective Goods within the periods set out in clause 6.3.1.
6. The warranty set out in clause 6.4.1 shall be in lieu of any warranties, conditions or undertakings whether implied by statue or common law (except for the conditions implied by section 12 of the Sale of Goods Act 1979) which are expressly excluded from the Contract.
7. clause 6.6 is applicable only where the manufacturer has provided a helpline, repair service or warranty in relation to defective or faulty Goods. Where more than 28 days has passed following the date the Goods were made available to you for collection, you must contact the manufacturer direct in relation to any defect or fault. All complaints, queries or claims under a manufacturer's warranty, guarantee or similar assurance must be made direct to the manufacturer and we do not have any responsibility or liability under or in connection with any such warranty, guarantee or assurance. We will have no obligation under this clause 6.6 to provide any replacement, repair, refund or assistance after the 28 days following the date the Goods were made available for collection. For the avoidance of doubt if the manufacturer becomes insolvent you accept that the manufacturer’s warranty is lost.
