This page, together with my Website Terms and Conditions of Use (below), Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy, tells you information about me and the legal terms and conditions (“Terms”) on which I sell any of the products (“Products”) listed on my website, www.copperstuff.net (“my site”), to you.

These Terms will apply to any contract between Copperstuff Limited and you for the sale of Products to you (“Contract”). Please read these Terms carefully and make sure that you understand them, before ordering any Products from my site. Please note that before placing an order you will be asked to agree to these Terms. Should you refuse to accept my Terms, you will not be permitted to place an order on my site.

You should print a copy of these Terms or save them to your computer for future reference.

I may amend these Terms from time to time, as set out in clause 8. Every time you wish to order Products, please check these Terms to ensure you understand the terms which will apply at that time.

 

1.            INFORMATION ABOUT ME

6.            IF YOU ARE A BUSINESS CUSTOMER

This clause only applies if you are a business:

6.1         If you are not a consumer, you confirm that you have authority to bind any business on whose behalf you use my site to purchase Products.

6.2         These Terms and any document expressly referred to in them constitutes the entire agreement between you and me and supersedes and extinguishes all previous agreements, promises, assurances, warranties, representations and understandings between us, whether written or oral, relating to its subject matter.

6.3         You acknowledge that in entering into this Contract you do not rely on any statement, representation, assurance or warranty (whether made innocently or negligently) that is not set out in these Terms or any document expressly referred to in them.

7.            HOW THE CONTRACT IS FORMED BETWEEN YOU AND ME

7.2         After you place an order, you will receive an e-mail from me acknowledging that I have received your order (“Order Confirmation”). However, please note that this does not mean that your order has been accepted. My acceptance of your order will take place as described in clause 7.3.

You may cancel either in respect of all the affected Products or just the Products you have yet to receive. If you opt to cancel, you will have to return (at my cost) any relevant Products you have already received and I will arrange a full refund of the price you have paid, including any delivery charges.

 

9.            YOUR CONSUMER RIGHT OF RETURN AND REFUND

This clause only applies if you are a consumer:

9.1         If you are a consumer, you have a legal right to cancel a Contract under the Regulations during the period set out below in clause 9.3. This means that during the relevant period if you change your mind or decide for any other reason that you do not want to receive or keep a Product, you can notify me of your decision to cancel the Contract and receive a refund. Advice about your legal right to cancel the Contract is available from your local Citizens' Advice Bureau or Trading Standards office.

9.2         However, this cancellation right does not apply in the case of bespoke or custom made goods.

9.3         Your legal right to cancel a Contract starts from the date I accept your order (by sending you a Dispatch Confirmation), which is when the Contract between us is formed. Your deadline for cancelling the Contract then depends on what you have ordered and how it is delivered, as set out below:

(a) If your Contract is for a single Product (which is not delivered in instalments on separate days), the end date is the end of 14 days after the day on which you receive the Product. (Example: if I provide you with a Dispatch Confirmation on 1 January and you receive the Product on 10 January you may cancel at any time between 1 January and the end of the day on 24 January)

(b) If your Contract is for one Product which is delivered in instalments on separate days, or multiple Products which are delivered on separate days, the end date is 14 days after the day on which you receive the last instalment of the Product or the last of the separate Products ordered. (Example: if I provide you with a Dispatch Confirmation on 1 January and you receive the first instalment of your Product or the first of your separate Products on 10 January and the last instalment or last separate Product on 15 January you may cancel in respect of all instalments and any or all of the separate Products at any time between 1 January and the end of the day on 29 January)

(c) If your Contract is for the regular delivery of a Product over a set period, the end date is 14 days after the day on which you receive the first delivery of the Products. (Example: if I provide you with a Dispatch Confirmation on 1 January in respect of Products to be delivered at regular intervals over a year and you receive the first delivery of your Product on 10 January, you may cancel at any time between 1 January and the end of the day on 24 January. 24 January is the last day of the cancellation period in respect of all Products to arrive during the year.)

9.4         To cancel a Contract, please contact me using the contact details shown in clause 1.2.1. If you are writing to me by e-mail, please ensure you include details of your order to help me identify it. Where notification has been sent by email, cancellation will be effective from the date notification was sent.

9.5         If you cancel your Contract I will, in accordance with these Terms:

9.5.1      refund you the price you paid for the Products. However, please note I am permitted by law to reduce your refund to reflect any reduction in the value of the goods, if this has been caused by your handling them in a way which would not be permitted in a shop.

9.5.2      refund any delivery costs you have paid, although, as permitted by law, the maximum refund will be the costs of delivery by the least expensive delivery method I offer (provided that this is a common and generally acceptable method).

9.5.3      make any refunds due to you as soon as possible and in any event within the deadlines indicated below:

(a)  if you have received the Product and I have not offered to collect it from you: 14 days after the day on which I receive the Product back from you or, if earlier, the day on which you provide me with evidence that you have sent the Product back to me. For information about how to return a Product to me, see clause 9.8;

(b)  if you have not received the Product or you have received it and I have offered to collect it from you: 14 days after you inform me of your decision to cancel the Contract.

9.6         If you have returned the Products because they are faulty I will refund the price of the Products in full, together with any applicable delivery charges, and any reasonable costs you incur in returning the item to me.

9.7         I will refund you on the credit card or debit card used by you to pay or into a bank account in the case of electronic bank transfers.

9.8         If a Product has been delivered to you before you decide to cancel your Contract:

9.8.1      you must return it to me without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days after the day on which you let me know that you wish to cancel the Contract;

9.8.2      unless the Product is faulty or not as described (in this case, see clause 9.6), you will be responsible for the cost of returning the Products to me. If the Product is one which cannot be returned by post, I estimate that if you use the carrier which delivered the Product to you, these costs should not exceed the sums I charged you for delivery;

9.9         Because you are a consumer, I am under a legal duty to supply Products that are in conformity with this Contract. As a consumer, you have legal rights in relation to Products that are faulty or not as described. These legal rights are not affected by your right of return and refund in this clause 9 or anything else in these Terms. Advice about your legal rights is available from your local Citizens' Advice Bureau or Trading Standards office.

 

10.         DELIVERY

10.1       I will contact you with an estimated delivery date. Occasionally my delivery to you may be affected by an Event Outside My Control. See clause 15 for my responsibilities when this happens.

10.2       If I am delivering the Products and no one is available at your address to take delivery and the Products have been returned to my premises, I will contact you to rearrange delivery. This may incur an additional delivery charge.

10.3       Delivery of an Order shall be completed when I deliver the Products to the address you gave me, or if you or a carrier organised by you collect them from me, the Products will be your responsibility from that time.

10.4       You own the Products once I have received payment in full, including all applicable delivery charges.

 

11.         PRICE OF PRODUCTS AND DELIVERY CHARGES

11.1       Prices for my Products may change from time to time, but changes will not affect any order you have already placed.

11.2       Unless stated otherwise, the price of a Product does not include delivery charges. If applicable, delivery charges are as advised to you during the check-out process, before you confirm your order.

 

12.         HOW TO PAY

13.4       Subject to clause13.2, my total liability to you in respect of all losses arising under or in connection with the Contract, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty, or otherwise, shall in no circumstances exceed the price of the Products.

13.5       Except as expressly stated in these Terms, I do not give any representation, warranties or undertakings in relation to the Products. Any representation, condition or warranty which might be implied or incorporated into these Terms by statute, common law or otherwise is excluded to the fullest extent permitted by law. In particular, I will not be responsible for ensuring that the Products are suitable for your purposes.

 

14.         MY LIABILITY IF YOU ARE A CONSUMER

This clause only applies if you are a consumer:

14.1       If I fail to comply with these Terms, I am responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of my breach of these Terms or my negligence, but I am not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable. Loss or damage is foreseeable if it is an obvious consequence of my breach or if it was contemplated by you and me at the time we entered into this contract.

14.2       I only supply the Products for domestic and private use. You agree not to use the product for any commercial, business or resale purposes, and I have no liability to you for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity.

Interactive services

I may from time to time provide interactive services on my site.

Where I do provide any interactive service, I will provide clear information to you about the kind of service offered, if it is moderated and what form of moderation is used (including whether it is human or technical).

I will do my best to assess any possible risks for users (and in particular for children) from third parties when they use any interactive service provided on my site and I will decide in each case whether it is appropriate to use moderation of the relevant service (including what kind of moderation to use) in light of those risks.  However, I am under no obligation to oversee, monitor or moderate any interactive service I provide on my site, and I expressly exclude my liability for any loss or damage arising from the use of any interactive service by a user in contravention of my content standards, whether the service is moderated or not.

The use of any of my interactive services by a minor is subject to the consent of their parent or guardian. I advise parents who permit their children to use an interactive service that it is important that they communicate with their children about their safety online, as moderation is not fool proof. Minors who are using any interactive service should be made aware of the potential risks to them.

Where I do moderate an interactive service, I will normally provide you with a means of contacting the moderator, should a concern or difficulty arise.

Content standards

These content standards apply to any and all material which you contribute to my site (contributions), and to any interactive services associated with it.

You must comply with the spirit and the letter of the following standards. The standards apply to each part of any contribution as well as to its whole.

Contributions must:

·        Be genuinely held (where they state opinions).
