2. Interpretation

2.1 In these terms and conditions:
(a) “we” means Hydro-X; and
(b) “you” means our customer or prospective customer,
and “us”, “our” and “your” should be construed accordingly.

3. Order process

3.1 The advertising of products and services on our website constitutes an invitation to treat rather than a contractual offer.
3.2 No contract will come into force between you and us unless and until we accept your order in accordance with the procedure set out in this Section 3.

(ii) if you are a new customer, you must then create an account with us and log in; if you are an existing customer, you must enter your login details;
(iii) once you are logged in, you must select your preferred method of delivery and confirm your order and your consent to these terms and conditions;
(iv) you will be required to enter your payment details, either by debit/credit card, or request a pro forma invoice;
(v) we will then send you an initial acknowledgement (this does not mean that your order has been accepted); and
(vi) once we have checked whether we are able to meet your order, we will either send you an order confirmation (“Order Confirmation”) (at which point your order will become a binding contract) (“Contract”) or we will confirm by email that we are unable to meet your order (and no contract will be formed between us).
3.4 You will have the opportunity to identify and correct input errors prior to making your order by reviewing your shopping basket. Please take the time to read and check your order at each stage of the order process.
3.5 The Contract will relate only to those products and services whose dispatch or booking we have confirmed in the Order Confirmation.

• Special Note On The Coronavirus Pandemic
  • We are continuing to operate as normally as possible and are fulfilling our contractual obligations to our customers by continuing to deliver our products as close to on-time as possible.The main impact on our service is delays in the supply chain owing to item shortages and distribution delays. On this basis we have disabled next-day delivery on all orders, and have live lead times on each product to indicate when you should expect to receive you items. For convenience we are noting this as WORKING DAYS.PLEASE NOTE – where you have purchased multiple items of varying lead times, we will despatch your order as a single shipment based on the longest lead-time item.We thank all of our customers for their understanding in the current trading environment.

8. Distance contracts: cancellation right

8.1 This Section 8 applies if and only if you offer to contract with us, or contract with us, as a consumer – that is, as an individual acting wholly or mainly outside your trade, business, craft or profession.
8.2 If you are contracting as a consumer, you may withdraw an offer to enter into a Contract with us through our website or cancel a Contract entered into with us through our website (without giving any reason for your withdrawal or cancellation) at any time within the period:
(a) beginning upon the submission of your offer; and
(b) ending on the date which is 14 days after the day on which the products come into your physical possession or the physical possession of a person identified by you to take possession of them (or, if the Contract is for delivery of multiple products, lots or pieces of something, 14 days after the day on which the last of those products, lots or pieces comes into your physical possession or the physical possession of a person identified by you to take possession of them) or ending on the date that is 14 days from the day the provision of services have been concluded.
8.3 In order to withdraw an offer to contract (or cancel a contract) on the basis described in this Section 8, you must inform us of your decision to withdraw or cancel (as the case may be). You may inform us by means of any clear statement setting out the decision in writing. In the case of cancellation, you may inform us using the cancellation form that we will make available to you with the Order Confirmation. To meet the cancellation deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning the exercise of the right to cancel before the cancellation period has expired.
8.4 If you cancel a contract on the basis described in this Section 8, you must send the products back to us (to Hydro-X House, Eden Place, Outgang Lane, Dinnington, S25 3QT) or hand them over to us or a person authorised by us to receive them. You must comply with your obligations referred to in this Section 8 without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days after the day on which you inform us of your decision to cancel the Contract. You must pay the direct cost of returning the products.
8.5 If you cancel an order in accordance with this Section 8, you will receive a full refund of the amount you paid to us in respect of the order including the costs of delivery to you, except:
(a) if you chose a kind of delivery costing more than the least expensive kind of delivery that we offer, we reserve the right to retain the difference in cost between the kind of delivery you chose and the least expensive kind of delivery that we offer; and
(b) as otherwise provided in this Section 8.
8.6 If the value of the products returned by you is diminished by any amount as a result of the handling of those products by you beyond what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the products, we may recover that amount from you up to the Contract price. We may recover that amount by deducting it from any refund due to you or require you to pay that amount direct to us. Handling which goes beyond the sort of handling that might reasonably be allowed in a shop will be “beyond what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the products” for these purposes.
8.7 We will refund money using the same method used to make the payment, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise. In any case, you will not incur any fees as a result of the refund.
8.8 Unless we have offered to collect the products, we will process a refund due to you as a result of a cancellation on the basis described in this Section 8 within the period of 14 days after the day on which we receive the returned products or (if earlier and at our sole discretion) after the day on which you supply to us evidence of having sent the products back. If we have not sent the products to you at the time of withdrawal or cancellation or have offered to collect the products, we will process a refund due to you without undue delay and, in any case, within the period of 14 days after the day on which we are informed of the withdrawal or cancellation.
8.9 In the case of a cancellation of a Contract that relates to the provision of services, if the services were provided to you before the Contract was cancelled you are obliged to pay for all of the services which have been provided at the date of cancellation.
