Goods, Pricing and Availability

We make all reasonable efforts to ensure that all descriptions and graphical representations of Goods available from Us correspond to the actual Goods.  Please note, however, the following:

  • Images of Goods are for illustrative purposes only. There may be slight variations in colour between the image of a product and the actual product sold due to differences in the calibration and settings of individual computer displays and lighting conditions;
  • Images and/or descriptions of packaging are for illustrative purposes only, the actual packaging of Goods may vary; and
  • Due to the nature of the Goods sold through Our Site all measurements quoted are approximate and there may be a small variance in the measurement of those Goods described and the actual Goods.

Please note that this does not exclude Our responsibility for mistakes due to negligence on Our part and refers only to minor variations of the correct Goods, not to different Goods altogether. Please refer to section Incorrect Goods if you receive incorrect Goods (i.e. Goods that are not as described).

Where appropriate, you may be required to select the required size, colour and number of the Goods that you are purchasing.

We neither represent nor warrant that Goods will be available. Stock indications are not provided on Our Site however We make all reasonable efforts to ensure that Goods offered on Our Site are available for purchase.

We make all reasonable efforts to ensure that all prices shown on Our Site are correct at the time of going online.  We reserve the right to change prices and to add, alter, or remove special offers from time to time and as necessary. Changes in price will not affect any order that you have already placed although if the VAT rate changes between your Order being placed and Us taking payment, the amount of VAT payable will be automatically adjusted when taking payment.

All prices are checked by Us when We process your Order.  In the unlikely event that We have shown incorrect pricing information, please note the following:

  • We will give you the option to purchase the Goods at the correct price or to cancel your Order (or the affected part thereof).
  • We will not proceed with processing your Order until you respond.
  • If We do not receive a response from you within 14 days, We will treat your Order as cancelled and notify you of the same in writing.

In the event that the price of Goods you have ordered changes between your Order being placed and Us processing that Order and taking payment, you will be charged the price shown on Our Site at the time of placing your Order.

All prices on Our Site include VAT.  If the VAT rate changes between your Order being placed and Us taking payment, the amount of VAT payable will be automatically adjusted when taking payment.

Delivery charges are not included in the price of Goods on Our Site.  For more information on delivery charges, please refer to Delivery Terms. Delivery options and related charges will be presented to you as part of the order process.

Orders – Contract creation

Our Site will guide you through the ordering process by a series of simple instructions.  Before submitting your Order to Us you will be given the opportunity to review your Order and amend it.  Please ensure that you have checked your Order carefully before submitting it.

We will send you an order acknowledgement email detailing the products you have ordered. This is not an order confirmation or acceptance of your order.

Our acceptance of your order and completion of the contract between you and Us will take place on the despatch from our warehouse to you of the Goods ordered unless we have notified you that we do not accept your order, or you have cancelled it in accordance with the instructions detailed in section Cancelling and Returning Goods if You Change Your Mind.

We will send despatch confirmation email when the Goods leave our warehouse.

Non acceptance of an order may be, but not limited to one of the following

  • The Goods you ordered being unavailable from stock
  • Our inability to obtain authorisation of your payment
  • The identification of a pricing or description error
  • Your not meeting the eligibility to order criteria set in the main Terms & Conditions.

The contract will be concluded in English

If We, for any reason, do not accept or cannot fulfil your Order, no payment shall be taken under normal circumstances. If We have taken payment any such sums will be refunded to you as soon as possible and in any event within 14 days.

Payment

Payment for Goods and related delivery charges must always be made in advance and you will be prompted to pay during the order process. Your chosen payment method will not be charged until We dispatch your Goods.

We accept the following methods of payment on Our Site:

  • Cards accepted via Paypal payment gateway (Visa, Mastercard, Maestro and Bank Debit Cards with either a Visa or Mastercard Logo)

Delivery, Risk and Ownership

The usual time of delivery depends on the address of the delivery and is estimated in the Dispatch & Delivery section

We make every effort to deliver goods within these estimated timescales; however delays are occasionally inevitable due to unforeseen factors, such as weather or failure of the service provided by our selected carrier.

If we do not deliver the goods within the estimated timescales you may call upon us to make the delivery within an additional period of time appropriate to the circumstances. If we fail to deliver the goods within an additional period of time, you shall be entitled to cancel the Contract. Any sums that you have already paid for cancelled Goods and their delivery will be refunded to you.  Please note that if any cancelled Goods are delivered to you, you must return them to Us or arrange with Us for their collection. In either case, We will bear the cost of returning the cancelled Goods.

Delivery shall be deemed complete once We have delivered the Goods to the address provided in your Order

The risk in the Goods shall remain with Us until they come into your physical possession.

Ownership of the Goods passes to you once we have received payment in full of all sums due (including any applicable delivery charges).

Faulty, Damaged or Incorrect Goods

By law, We must provide goods that are of satisfactory quality, fit for purpose, as described at the time of purchase, in accordance with any pre-contract information We have provided, and that match any samples or models 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, for example, have faults or are damaged when you receive them, or if you receive incorrect Goods, please contact Us as soon as reasonably possible to inform Us of the fault, damage or error, and to arrange for a refund or replacement. For clarification incorrect goods relate to Goods that we have sent you in error to those placed on your order. If you have ordered Goods which you do not wish to keep then you should follow the section on Cancelling and Returning Goods if You Change Your Mind.

Beginning on the day that you receive the Goods (and ownership of them) you have a 30 Calendar Day right to reject the Goods and to receive a full refund if they do not conform as stated above. Alternatively, you may request a replacement of the Goods.  We will bear any associated costs and will carry out the replacement within a reasonable time and without significant inconvenience to you.  In certain circumstances, where a replacement is impossible or otherwise disproportionate, We may instead offer you a full refund.  If you request a replacement during the 30 Calendar Day rejection period, that period will be suspended while We carry out the replacement and will resume on the day that you receive the replacement Goods. If less than 7 Calendar Days remain out of the original period, it will be extended to 7 Calendar Days.  If, after a replacement, the Goods still do not conform (or if We cannot do so as previously described, or have failed to act within a reasonable time or without significant inconvenience to you), you may have the right either to keep the Goods at a reduced price, or to reject them in exchange for a refund.  If you exercise the final right to reject the goods more than six months after you have received the Goods (and ownership of them), We may reduce any refund to reflect the use that you have had out of the Goods.

Please note that you will not be eligible to claim under this Clause

  • if We informed you of the fault(s), damage or other problems with the Goods before your purchase of the them (and it is because of the same issue that you now wish to return 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.

To return Goods to Us for which are faulty, damaged or incorrect, please contact Us to arrange a return.  We will be fully responsible for the costs of returning Goods that are faulty, damaged or incorrect and will reimburse you where appropriate.

Refunds (whether full or partial, including reductions in price) relating to Goods that are faulty, damaged or incorrect will be issued within 14 Calendar Days of the day on which We agree that you are entitled to the refund.

Any and all refunds issued under this Clause will include all delivery costs paid by you when the Goods were originally purchased.

Please also note that you may not return Goods to Us under this Clause merely because you have changed your mind. If you are a consumer in the European Union you have a legal right to a 14 calendar day cooling off period within which you can return Goods for this reason. Please refer see Cancelling and Returning Goods if You Change Your Mind for more details.

Cancelling and Returning Goods if You Change Your Mind

If you are a consumer in the European Union, you have a legal right to a “cooling off” period within which you can cancel the Contract for any reason.  This period begins once your Order is complete and We have sent you your Dispatch Confirmation, i.e. when the Contract between you and Us is formed.

  • If the Goods are being delivered to you in a single instalment (whether single or multiple items), the cooling off period ends 14 calendar days after the day on which you receive the Goods.
  • If the Goods are being delivered in separate instalments on separate days, the cooling off period ends 14 calendar days after the day on which you receive the final instalment of Goods.

If you wish to exercise your right to cancel because you have changed your mind, you must inform Us of your decision within the cooling off period.  You may do so in any way you wish, however you must inform us of decision to cancel your Contract by a clear statement, including your name, address, details of the order and where available your email address and phone number.

  • You can cancel by email: info@waltonsofyorkshire.co.uk, or
  • by calling 01423 323942 (Monday to Friday 9am – 5pm) or
  • by post Walton & Co Ltd, Bar Lane ,Roecliffe York YO51 9LS

We will issue you with a Returns Authorisation Number (RAN). Please include the RAN with your return as this helps us to identify you and process the return efficiently.

We may ask you why you have chosen to cancel and may use any answers you provide to improve Our Goods and services, however please note that you are under no obligation to provide any details if you do not wish to.

Please ensure that you return Goods to Us no more than 14 calendar days after the day on which you have informed Us that you wish to cancel the Contract.

You may return Goods to by post or another suitable delivery service of your choice to Our returns address at Walton & Co Ltd, Bar Lane, Roecliffe, York. YO51 9LS. Please note that you must bear the costs of returning Goods to Us if you are returning Goods where you have changed your mind. For your own piece of mind, We recommend you use a recorded or tracked service to manage your return. We will not accept liability for any Goods that are lost in transit.

Refunds will be issued to you within 14 calendar days of the following:

  • The day on which We receive the Goods back; or
  • If We have not yet provided a Dispatch Confirmation or have not yet dispatched the Goods, the day on which you inform Us that you wish to cancel the Contract.

We request that Goods must be returned in original presentational packaging, including all labels, ties and care instructions attached and returned in the same presentation that they were received. For ease of guidance you must return Goods in a condition that you would find acceptable yourself if you were receiving the Goods for the first time. Goods must be unused. We may subsequently charge you an appropriate sum and therefore may reduce your refund if We find that the Goods have been handled and returned in a way that does not fulfil this criteria.

Standard delivery charges will be reimbursed in full as part of your refund.  Please note, however, that We cannot reimburse for premium delivery. We will only reimburse the equivalent standard delivery costs when issuing refunds when you return goods because you have changed your mind.

Standard delivery charges will be reimbursed only if your entire order is returned.

If you are returning part of your order and the value of your order you are keeping is now less than the free delivery offer, the refund due to you will be reduced by the standard delivery cost.

Refunds will be made using the same payment method that you used when ordering the Goods.

Guarantee

Where We are the manufacturer of the Goods, We guarantee that for a period of 6 months from the date of delivery, the Goods will be free from material defects.  This guarantee is subject to the exceptions listed in sub-Clause 13.2.

Our guarantee does not apply to any defects in the Goods caused by:

  • Normal wear and tear;
  • Deliberate damage and/or misuse of the Goods;
  • Accidental damage;
  • Failure to use the Goods in accordance with their instructions (where applicable); or
  • The alteration or repair of the Goods by you or any third party that is not authorised by Us.

Our guarantee exists in addition to your legal rights as a consumer (that the Goods match their description, that they are of satisfactory quality and that they are fit for purpose).

Our Liability to Consumers

We will be responsible for any foreseeable loss or damage that you may suffer as a result of Our breach of these Terms and Conditions or as a result of Our negligence. Loss or damage is foreseeable if it is an obvious consequence of Our breach or negligence or if it is contemplated by you and Us when the Contract is created.  We will not be responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable.

We only supply Goods for domestic and private use by consumers.  We make no warranty or representation that the Goods are fit for commercial or business  use of any kind. We will not be liable to you for any loss of profit, loss of business, interruption to business or for any loss of business opportunity.

Nothing in these Terms and Conditions seeks to limit or exclude Our liability for death or personal injury caused by Our negligence (including that of Our employees, agents or sub-contractors); or for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.

Nothing in these Terms and Conditions seeks to exclude or limit Your legal rights as a consumer.  For more details of Your legal rights, please refer to Your local Citizens Advice Bureau or Trading Standards Office.

If any event described under this Clause occurs that is likely to adversely affect Our performance of any of Our obligations under these Terms and Conditions:

  • We will inform you as soon as is reasonably possible;
  • Our obligations under these Terms and Conditions (and therefore the Contract) will be suspended and any time limits that We are bound by will be extended accordingly;
  • We will inform you when the event outside of Our control is over and provide details of any new dates, times or availability of Goods as necessary;

If the event outside of Our control continues for more than 30 days We will cancel the Contract and inform you of the cancellation.  Any refunds due to you as a result of that cancellation will be paid to you as soon as is reasonably possible and in any event within 14 days of the date on which the Contract is cancelled;

If an event outside of Our control occurs and you wish to cancel the Contract as a result, you may do so.  Any refunds due to you as a result of such cancellation will be paid to you as soon as is reasonably possible and in any event within 14 days of the date on which the Contract is cancelled.
