8. YOUR CONSUMER RIGHT OF RETURN AND REFUND
8.1 If you are a consumer, you have a legal right to cancel a contract during the period set out below in clause 8.5. However, We are sorry that in most cases an Order is unable to be cancelled. Please refer to the ‘Cancellation Policy’.
8.2 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 Us of your decision to cancel the contract and We will take the relevant steps to ensure this is done for you.
8.3 It is important to note that Orders placed outside of general working hours (8:30am-5:30pm), and over the weekend, may have already been dispatched; and whilst they can be cancelled by informing Us in writing by raising a ticket through our support centre you may be liable for the cost of cancelling the Order and/or returning it to Us. Advice about your legal right to cancel the contract is available from your local Citizens Advice Bureau or Trading Standards office.
8.4 However, this cancellation right does not apply in the case of any Products which become mixed inseparably with other items after their delivery.
8.5 We will not accept Products that are returned to Us outside of the 30 day return policy. We will not refund or exchange Products that have been used and are not faulty after purchase, even if returned within the 30 day policy. If a refund is offered, it is at the discretion of management. A small percentage may be deducted to account for general wear and tear which may include media replacement costs and the cost of return to Us.
8.6 Your legal right to cancel a contract starts from the date of the dispatch confirmation (the date on which We e-mail you to confirm Our acceptance of your Order), which is when the contract between Us, Sims Tropical Dry Goods and you, the customer is formed. The circumstances under which you can cancel your Order then depend on what you have ordered and how it is delivered, as set out in the table below:
Your Contract
End of the cancellation period
Your contract is for a single Product (which is not delivered in instalments on separate days).
The end date is the end of 30 days after the day on which you receive the Product.
Your contract is for either of the following:
• One Product which is delivered in instalments on separate days.
• Multiple Products which are delivered on separate days.
The end date is 30 days after the day on which you receive the last instalment of the Product or the last of the separate Products ordered.
Your contract is for the regular delivery of a Product over a set period.
The end date is 30 days after the day on which you receive the first delivery of the Products.
8.7 To cancel a contract, you need to let Us know by writing, or by phone, that you have decided to cancel. If We accept the cancellation, We will e-mail you to confirm We have received and accepted your cancellation.
8.8 If you cancel your contract and subsequent Orders We will:
a. Refund you the price you paid for the Products. However, please note We are permitted by law to reduce your refund to reflect any reduction in the value of the Products, if this has been caused by your handling them in a way which would not be permitted in a shop. If We refund you the price paid before We are able to inspect the Products and later discover you have handled them in an unacceptable way, you must pay Us an appropriate amount to the damages inflicted upon the Product/s.
b. If you choose to cancel your Order after you have had notification of dispatch, the costs of original delivery and return will be deducted off the final refund amount. With the purchase of some Products, you are required to confirm delivery guidelines. If these are confirmed and you cancel the Order after dispatch, you will be charged for the delivery and return costs incurred with the Order.
c. Make any refunds due to you as soon as possible and in any event within the deadlines indicated below:
d. If you have received the Product and We have not offered to collect it from you 30 days after the day on which We receive the Product back from you or, if earlier, the day on which you provide Us with evidence that you have sent the Product back to Us. For information about how to return a Product to Us, see clause 8.8;
e. If you have not received the Product, or you have received it and We have offered to collect it from you: 30 days after you inform Us of your decision to cancel the contract.
8.9 If you have returned the Products to Us under this Clause 8 because they are faulty or mis-described, We 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/s to Us.
8.10 We will refund you on the credit card or debit card used by you upon purchasing the Product/s. If you used loyalty points to pay for the Product We may refund you in loyalty points
8.11 If a Product has been delivered to you before you decide to cancel your contract:
a. You must then return it to Us without undue delay and in any event not later than 30 days after the day on which you let Us know that you wish to cancel the contract.
b. Unless the Product is faulty or not as described (in this case, see clause 8.6), you will be responsible for the cost of returning the Products to Us. If the Product is one that cannot be returned by post, We estimate that if you use the courier who delivered the Product to you, these costs should not exceed the sums We charged you for delivery.
c. Returning large aquariums: If your tank is collected and found NOT faulty, you will be charged £30 for the cost of the pallet and wrapping if provided for you. You may also incur other charges for the cost of return.
d. If you return an item, whether it be faulty or unwanted, and do not claim for it within 6 weeks of Us receiving the item, it will be destroyed without replacement or refund.
9. DELIVERY
9.1 We will contact you with an estimated delivery date, which will be within 30 days after the date of the dispatch confirmation. Occasionally, Our delivery to you may be affected by an Event outside Our Control. See Clause 15 for Our responsibilities when this happens.
9.2 If no one is available at your address to take delivery, the courier used will leave a card instructing you to arrange a re-delivery. Please be aware that if you have booked in a day for delivery and you are not present at the address of delivery on the specified day, you will be liable for any costs incurred for re-delivery.
9.3 Delivery of an Order shall be completed when We deliver the Products to the address you gave Us and the Products will be your responsibility from that time.
a. Large Aquariums: If you fail to arrange a delivery date with Our courier, and considerable time has passed, they will return the tank to Us directly as they have a limited holding period. We at Sims Tropical Dry Goods then reserve the right to recall the aquarium and deduct any delivery and return costs incurred off the refund due to you. We will attempt to keep you informed of every stage of this process.
9.4 You own the Products once We have received payment in full, including all applicable delivery charges.
9.5 If We miss the 30 day delivery deadline for any Products then you may cancel your Order straight away if any of the following apply:
a. We have refused to deliver the Products;
b. Delivery within the delivery deadline was essential (taking into account all the relevant circumstances); or
c. You told Us before We accepted your Order that delivery within the delivery deadline was essential.
9.6 If you do not wish to cancel your Order straight away, or do not have the right to do so under Clause 9.5, you can give Us a new deadline for delivery, which must be reasonable, and you can cancel your Order if We do not meet the new deadline.
9.7 If you do choose to cancel your Order for late delivery under Clause 9.5 or Clause 9.6, you can do so for just some of the Products or all of them, unless splitting them up would significantly reduce their value. If the Products have been delivered to you, you will have to return them to Us or allow Us to collect them; We will reimburse you for the cost of this. After you cancel your Order, We will refund any sums you have paid to Us for the cancelled Products and their delivery.
