Terms & Conditions

By using this site www.romfordtools.com you are agreeing to the following terms of use. Romford Tools reserves the right to change these terms at any time. By using the site you the customer agree to be bound by any of these modifications on current or future visits.

Pricing

All amounts are shown in pounds sterling and are shown as excluding and including VAT

Pricing Errors

In the event that there is a pricing error on the website then Romford Tools will not be bound to honour any orders made at that price.

Order acceptance and processing

After receiving your order will process the payment. As soon as we have received the relevant authorisation for the payment of your choice (credit, debit, PayPal etc.) we will e-mail you the customer an order acknowledgement. This e-mail shows acceptance of you order and at this point a contract between Romford Tools and you the customer is formed.

It is the policy of Romford Tools to take payment at this point even if the goods are not currently available for delivery.

Cancellation of Orders

To cancel an order email us at cancel@romfordtools.com including the order reference number. Once orders have been picked and packaged they cannot be cancelled. If the goods are still unwanted on receipt of them, you will have to return them as stated in Returns and Refunds-items not required.

Delivery of Goods

The delivery of goods to you is deemed to be a separate contract for services, distinct from your contract to purchase the goods. Delivery may be affected in one or more ways.

The delivery drivers are not insured to take their vehicles on roads other than public highways. If you live in a remote location and your home is not on a public road, e.g. if you live at the end of a farm track, then the driver will deliver the goods to the end of the public road only. You accept this when placing your order and if you refuse the delivery because of the driver cannot drop at your door then you will be charged the actual delivery costs and collection fees. (This will apply to large, bulky item orders arriving on pallets. Smaller parcels can be usually delivered on foot by the driver.)

Delivery dates are approximate and no liability whatsoever is accepted in respect of late deliveries.

In certain circumstances where large bulky items are being ordered for delivery to very remote locations (such as Scottish Islands) there may be an additional carriage charge. If your order falls into this category then you will be notified of the extra cost and given the option of accepting the extra charge or cancelling your order.

Without prejudice to the statutory rights afforded to consumers under English law, Romford Tools accepts no liability for any failure to ship products where this results from its inability to do so resulting from acts of god, civil commotion, riots, flood, draught, fire, legislation or other factors outside it's control, or its decision on reasonable grounds not to do so for reasons of suspicion of credit card fraud or similar.
Checking Deliveries for Shortages

You agree to examine the delivery and report any missing items within 48 hours of delivery. We will not accept liability for any shortages if they are not reported within this period.

Checking Goods for Carrier Damage

For small item deliveries that arrive with carriers you agree to open all boxes and thoroughly check the goods for damage as soon as possible and notify us of any damage within 48 hours of the delivery. If the package looks damaged then sign the paperwork with the word "damaged". If we are not notified of damage within 48 hours we are unable to claim from either the manufacturer or the carrier. You agree to pay us in full for any losses we suffer as a result of your failure to notify us within 48 hours.

If someone else is signing for the goods on your behalf you agree to advise them that the goods must be checked and you accept full responsibility for any loss or damage if they sign on your behalf and fail to check. You agree to indemnify us in full for any losses we suffer as a result of you accepting goods and signing a delivery note without checking the goods for carrier damage.

Protecting Your Security

To ensure that your credit, debit or charge card is not being used without your consent, we will validate name, address and other personal information supplied by you during the order process against appropriate third party databases. By accepting these terms and conditions you consent to such checks being made. In performing these checks personal information provided by you may be disclosed to a registered Credit Reference Agency which may keep a record of that information. You can rest assured that this is done only to confirm your identity, that a credit check is not performed and that your credit rating will be unaffected. All information provided by you will be treated securely and strictly in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998.
You agree that we may use Personal information provided by you in order to conduct appropriate anti-fraud checks. Personal Information that you provide may be disclosed to a credit reference or fraud prevention agency, which may keep a record of that information

Publication of Comments Online

You agree that we can publish any comments that you send to us concerning the quality of our service or products on our website. We may use your name and town of residence, but we will not publish your email address, telephone number, website address or street address.

We aim to exceed our customer expectations as often as possible, however there may be rare occasions when a customer feels that they have not been treated fairly.
