Terms & Conditions

8.1 Delivery costs
The costs of delivery will be as displayed to you on our Website or as told to you over the telephone. During the order process we will let you know when we estimate that we will be able to deliver the product(s) to you. In any event, we will deliver the product(s) to you as soon as reasonably possible and in any event within 30 (thirty) days after the day on which we accept your order.

8.2 We are not responsible for delays outside our control
If our supply of the product(s) and/or services is delayed by an event outside our control then we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and we will take steps to minimise the effect of the delay. Provided we do this we will not be liable for delays caused by the event, but if there is a risk of substantial delay you may contact us to end the contract and receive a refund for any product(s) and/or services you have paid for but not received.

8.3 If you are not at home when the product(s) is delivered
If no one is available at your address to take delivery, we will leave you a note informing you of how to rearrange delivery or collect the products from a local depot.

8.4 If you do not re-arrange delivery
If after a failed delivery to you, you do not re-arrange delivery or if you do not collect the products, we will contact you for further instructions and may charge you for storage costs and any further delivery costs. If, despite our reasonable efforts, we are unable to contact you or re-arrange delivery or collection we may end the contract and clause 11.2 will apply.

8.5 Your legal rights if we deliver product(s) late
You have legal rights if we deliver any product(s) or supply any services late. If we miss the delivery deadline for any product(s) or services then you may treat the contract as at an end straight away if any of the following apply:

8.5.2 delivery within the delivery deadline was essential (taking into account all the relevant circumstances); or

8.5.3 you told us before we accepted your order that delivery within the delivery deadline was essential.

8.6 Setting a new deadline for delivery

If you do not wish to treat the contract as at an end straight away, or do not have the right to do so under clause 8.5, you can give us a new deadline for delivery, which must be reasonable, and you can treat the contract as at an end if we do not meet the new deadline.

8.7 Ending the contract for late delivery
If you do choose to treat the contract as at an end for late delivery under clause 8.5 or clause 8.6, you can cancel your order for any of the products or services or reject products that have been delivered. If you wish, you can reject or cancel the order for some of those products (not all of them), unless splitting them up would significantly reduce their value. After that we will refund any sums you have paid to us for the cancelled products or services and their delivery. If the products have been delivered to you, you must allow us to collect them from you. We will pay the costs of collection. Please call customer services on 0345 805 0000 or email us at [email protected] to arrange collection.

8.8 When you become responsible for the product(s)
The product(s) will be your responsibility from the time we deliver the product(s) to the address you gave us.

8.9 When you own product(s)

8.12 We may also suspend supply of the product(s) or services if you do not pay
If you do not pay us for the product(s) and/or services when you are supposed to (see clause 13.4) and you still do not make payment within 7 (seven) days of us reminding you that payment is due, we may suspend supply of the product(s) and/or services until you have paid us the outstanding amounts. We will contact you to tell you we are suspending supply of the product(s) and/or services.

We will not suspend the product(s) and/or services where you dispute the unpaid invoice (see clause 13.6). We will not charge you for the product(s) and/or services during the period for which they are suspended. As well as suspending the product(s) and/or services we can also charge you interest on your overdue payments (see clause 13.5).

9.1 You can always end your contract with us

Your rights when you end the contract will depend on what you have bought, whether there is anything wrong with it, how we are performing and when you decide to end the contract:

9.4 How long do I have to change my mind?
You have 14 (fourteen) days after the day you (or someone you nominate) receives the product(s), unless:

9.4.1 Your product(s) are split into several deliveries over different days

In this case you have until 14 (fourteen) days after the day you (or someone you nominate) receives the last delivery to change your mind about the product(s).

9.5 Ending the contract where we are not at fault and there is no right to change your mind
Even if we are not at fault and you do not have a right to change your mind (see clause 9.1), you can still end the contract before it is completed, but you may have to pay us compensation. A contract is completed when the product(s) is delivered, or the services have been supplied and paid for. If you want to end a contract before it is completed where we are not at fault and you have not changed your mind, just contact us to let us know. The contract will end immediately and we will refund any sums paid by you for product(s) and/or services not provided but we may deduct from that refund (or, if you have not made an advance payment, charge you) reasonable compensation for the net costs we will incur as a result of you ending the contract.

In all other circumstances, we reserve the right to charge you for the costs of return.

10.4 What we charge for collection

We will refund you the price you paid for the product(s) including delivery costs, by the method you used for payment. However, we may make deductions from the price, as described below.

10.6 Deductions from refunds if you are exercising your right to change your mind
If you are exercising your right to change your mind:

10.6.1 We may reduce your refund of the price (excluding delivery costs) to reflect any reduction in the value of the product(s), if this has been caused by your handling them in a way which would not be permitted in a shop.

10.6.2 The maximum refund for delivery costs will be the costs of delivery by the least expensive delivery method we offer. For example, if we offer delivery of a product(s) within 3-5 days at one cost but you choose to have the product(s) delivered within 24 hours at a higher cost, then we will only refund what you would have paid for the cheaper delivery option.

10.7 When your refund will be made
We will make any refunds due to you as soon as possible. If you are exercising your right to change your mind then:

11.1.2 you do not, within a reasonable time, allow us to deliver the product(s) or supply the services to you.

11.2 You must compensate us if you break the contract
If we end the contract in the situations set out in clause 11.1 we will refund any money you have paid in advance for product(s) and/or services we have not provided but we may deduct or charge you reasonable compensation for the net costs we will incur as a result of your breaking the contract.

12.1 How to tell us about problems

13.1 Where to find the price

13.1.1 in relation to product(s), the price (which includes VAT) will be the price indicated on the order pages of our Website or as told to you over the telephone when you placed your order. We take all reasonable care to ensure that the price of the product(s) advised to you is correct. However please see clause 13.3 for what happens if we discover an error in the price of the product(s) you order; and

13.1.2 in relation to services, the price is a fixed fee of £115 (one hundred seventy five pounds).

13.2 We will pass on changes in the rate of VAT
If the rate of VAT changes between your order date and the date we supply the product(s) and/or services, we will adjust the rate of VAT that you pay, unless you have already paid for the product(s) and/or services in full before the change in the rate of VAT takes effect.

13.3 What happens if we got the price wrong
It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the product(s) we sell may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices before accepting your order so that, where the product’s correct price at your order date is less than our stated price at your order date, we will charge the lower amount. If the product(s)‘s the correct price at your order date is higher than the price stated to you, we will contact you for your instructions before we accept your order. If we accept and process your order where a pricing error is obvious and unmistakable and could reasonably have been recognised by you as a mispricing, we may end the contract, refund you any sums you have paid and require the return of any goods provided to you.

13.4 When you must pay and how you must pay
We accept payment with most major credit or debit cards. In relation to products, you must pay for the product(s) before we dispatch them. We will not charge your credit or debit card until we dispatch the product(s) to you. In relation to services, we will charge your credit or debit card within 30 (thirty) days of the date or your order.

13.5 We can charge interest if you pay late
If you do not make any payment to us by the due date we may charge interest to you on the overdue amount at the rate of 2% a month above the base lending rate of The Bank of England from time to time. This interest shall accrue on a daily basis from the due date until the date of actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgment. You must pay us interest together with any overdue amount.

13.6 What to do if you think an invoice is wrong
If you think an invoice is wrong please contact us promptly to let us know. You will not have to pay any interest until the dispute is resolved. Once the dispute is resolved we will charge you interest on correctly invoiced sums from the original due date.

14.1 We are responsible to you for foreseeable loss and damage caused by us
If we fail to comply with these Terms, we are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breaking this contract or our failing to use reasonable care and skill, but we are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable. Loss or damage is foreseeable if either it is obvious that it will happen or if, at the time the contract was made, both we and you knew it might happen, for example, if you discussed it with us during the sales process.

14.2 We do not exclude or limit in any way our liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so
This includes:

14.2.1 liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors;

14.4 How we will use your personal information
We will use the personal information you provide to us:

14.4.1 to supply the product(s) and/or services to you;

14.4.2 to process your payment for the product(s) and/or services; and

14.4.3 if you agreed to this during the order process, to give you information about similar product(s) and/or services that we provide, but you may stop receiving this at any time by contacting us.

14.5 We will use your personal information in accordance with our privacy policy, which you can access at ebac.com/support/privacy-policy

14.6 We may pass your personal information to credit reference agencies. Where we extend credit to you for the products we may pass your personal information to credit reference agencies and they may keep a record of any search that we do.

15.1 The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive is now UK law. The legislation aims to make producers pay for the collection, treatment and recovery of waste electrical equipment. More information about the WEEE Directive can be found at https://www.gov.uk/guidance/electrical-and-electronic-equipment-eee-producer-responsibility.

15.2 Many electrical items that we throw away can be repaired or recycled. Recycling items helps to save our natural finite resources and also reduces the environmental and health risks associated with sending electrical goods to landfill.

15.3 Distributors of new electric and electronic equipment have a part to play in reducing the amount of WEEE going into landfill sites. We are obliged under the WEEE Directive to offer our customers a take-back of their WEEE for a fee of £15.00 for a dehumidifier or £35 for a washing machine on a like-for-like basis when you buy from us a new electrical or electronic product(s).

15.4 For example, if a customer bought a new appliance from us we would accept their old appliance back and prevent it going into a landfill site by disposing of it safely. We offer a collection service which must be requested at the time of ordering your new appliance by contacting us on 0345 805 0000 or email us at [email protected]. Any appliances that we are collecting should be disconnected and ready for collection at the time the new appliance is delivered. We can only remove old refrigerated appliances if they have been fully defrosted.

15.5 To remind you that old electrical equipment can be recycled, it is now marked with a crossed-out wheeled bin symbol (as shown below). Please do not throw any electrical equipment (including those marked with the crossed out wheeled bin symbol) in your bin.

16.1 Reporting of security issues
If any security vulnerabilities or issues are found within any of our internet connected products then they should be reported as soon as possible to the Ebac Customer Service team via [email protected]. The team will acknowledge receipt of this and will also feedback any findings and actions resulting from the reported issue.

16.2 Security Updates
Security updates will be provided for a period of five years from the date of production

17.1 We may transfer our rights and obligations under these Terms to another organisation.

17.2 You may only transfer your rights or your obligations under these Terms to another person if we agree to this in writing.

17.3 Nobody else has any rights under this contract

This contract is between you and us. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms.

17.4 If a court finds part of this contract illegal, the rest will continue in force
Each of the paragraphs of these Terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.

17.5 Even if we delay in enforcing this contract, we can still enforce it later
If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these Terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking this contract, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date. For example, if you miss a payment and we do not chase you but we continue to provide the product(s) and/or services, we can still require you to make the payment at a later date.

17.6 Which laws apply to this contract and where you may bring legal proceedings
These Terms are governed by English law and you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the product(s) in the English courts. If you live in Scotland you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the product(s) in either the Scottish or the English courts. If you live in Northern Ireland you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the product(s) in either the Northern Irish or the English courts.

17.7 Alternative dispute resolution
Alternative dispute resolution is a process where an independent body considers the facts of a dispute and seeks to resolve it, without you having to go to court. If you are not happy with how we have handled any complaint, you may want to contact the alternative dispute resolution provider we use. You can submit a complaint to ADR Group via their website at www.adrgroup.co.uk or www.consumer-dispute.co.uk will not charge you for making a complaint and if you are not satisfied with the outcome you can still bring legal proceedings.
