9.6.2 cancel the order, notify the Buyer of such cancellation and refund the Buyer any sums that they have paid; or

12.1.1 suspend or cancel any account in the name of the Buyer;

12.1.2 suspend or cancel deliveries of any Goods due to the Buyer under any Contract;

12.2 For the avoidance of doubt, the rights and remedies of the Seller in Clause 12.1 are cumulative, not exclusive, and the exercise of one thereof shall not deprive the Seller of the right to exercise others. Further, the Seller shall be entitled to exercise the rights and remedies in Clause 12.1 notwithstanding that risk in and /or title to (in the case of a Business) and responsibility and/or ownership of (in the case of a Consumer) the Goods may not have passed to the Buyer.

12.3 If an Event of Default occurs (as defined in Clause 12.4), then without prejudice to the rights and remedies of the Seller in Clause 12.1:

12.3.1 the Seller may, in its absolute discretion, suspend any and all deliveries under any Contract;

12.3.2 the Seller may appropriate to it any Goods in its possession in which case it will refund to the Buyer any payment made by the Buyer in respect of such Goods (unless the Seller has appropriated such payment to other Goods); and

12.3.3 any and all sums owed by the Seller shall become immediately due and owing irrespective of any time given for payment prior to the Event of Default.

12.4.6 any act analogous to any of the foregoing occurs in respect of the Buyer in any jurisdiction.

13. Breakages, cancellations and returns

This Clause 13 applies if the Buyer is a business

13.1 The Seller must be notified of any defect in the quality or condition of the Goods within 3 working days of receipt of the Goods by the Buyer.

13.2 In the event that the Goods are standard catalogue items (ie. the Goods are contained within the Catalogue or on the Website) then the Buyer may cancel the contract within 14 days from the date of receipt by contacting the Seller’s Customer Support Team customerservice@spectralights.co.uk, whereupon the Seller can make arrangements with the Buyer for the collection of the Goods at the Buyer’s expense via the Seller’s carrier. Alternatively the Buyer can return the Goods themselves at their expense via a signed for service. Goods cannot be returned without an authorised returns number. The Buyer is responsible for return postage costs unless the Goods prove to be faulty.

13.3 Any items returned by the Buyer under the provisions of Clause 13.2 must be in a totally resalable condition with all packaging, accessories and instructions complete and intact. If the Goods and their packaging are not returned in a satisfactory condition, including damage caused due to insufficient packaging for the return transition to the Seller, the Seller is permitted by law to refuse a refund or reduce the Buyer’s refund accordingly to take into account the reduction in value of the Goods.

13.4 For the avoidance of doubt, the right of cancellation contained in Clause 13.2 shall not apply to any Goods which are not standard catalogue items (i.e. Specials) or Goods which are described in the Catalogue or Website as “Made to order”. “Made to order” Goods cannot be cancelled or returned once the order is accepted. By ordering the Goods the Buyer will have entered into a binding contract to buy the Goods and cannot cancel that contract. Once the Goods have been delivered the Buyer can only return them if they are faulty or damaged.

13.5 The Seller may cancel any Contract at any time before the Goods are delivered. On giving such notice the Seller shall promptly repay to the Buyer any sums paid in respect of the Goods less an administration fee. Without prejudice to the limitation of liability under Clause 19, the Seller shall not be liable for any loss or damage whatever arising from any cancellation in accordance with this Clause.

13.6 The Buyer may not withhold payment of any invoice or other amount due to the Seller under this Contract by reason of any right of set-off or counterclaim which the Buyer may have or alleged to have for any reason whatsoever. All refunds shall be credited to the Buyer in accordance with Clause 13.7 below.

13.7 Any monies due to the Buyer by the Seller as a result of any return of Goods under this Clause 13 shall be refunded within 30 days of receipt by the Seller of the returned Goods through the same method as which payment for the Goods was originally made, save that such refund shall only extend to delivery or insurance charges rendered in respect of the Goods in the event that the Goods are being returned as a result of breakages or fault. In that event, where the value (in pounds sterling) of the Goods returned is less than the entire value of the Goods ordered under any one particular Contract the Seller reserves the right to only refund to the Buyer the same percentage of the delivery or insurance charges as the value of the Goods returned represented to the value of all Goods ordered under the Contract. By way of illustration only, if the value of all Goods under a particular Contract is £100.00, and £50.00 of those Goods are returned, then the Seller reserves the right to only refund 50% of the delivery and insurance charges for those Goods under that Contract. The Seller shall not be liable for any delays in payment caused by the Seller and/or the Buyer’s Bank.

13.8 Where the Seller arranges for the return of Goods from the Buyer through the Seller’s nominated carrier then the Buyer undertakes to ensure that the Goods are packaged in a manner suitable for safe transportation and are available for collection by the nominated carrier during normal business hours. In the event that the nominated carrier attempts to collect the Goods during normal business hours and is unable to do so (other than at times previously notified by the Buyer to the Seller as being times at which the nominated carrier would not be able to collect the Goods) then the Seller reserves the right to charge the Buyer for the costs incurred through the nominated carrier’s inability to collect. Further, in the event that the Goods are damaged in transit on their return to the Seller as a result of poor or insufficient packaging on the part of the Buyer, or are not complete, then the Seller reserves the right not to credit or otherwise refund the Buyer in respect of (in the event that the Goods are being returned for a refund), or replace (in the event that the Goods are being returned for the purposes of replacement), such damaged Goods.

13.9 Where the Buyer arranges for the return of Goods from the Seller through the Buyer’s nominated carrier then the Buyer undertakes to ensure that the Goods are packaged in a manner suitable for safe transportation. Return of the goods shall be deemed to have taken place when they have been delivered to the Seller and a signature on behalf of the Seller has been received in respect of the Goods. In the event that the Goods are damaged in transit on their return to the Seller or are not complete, then the Seller reserves the right not to credit or otherwise refund the Buyer in respect of (in the event that the Goods are being returned for a refund), or replace (in the event that the Goods are being returned for the purposes of replacement), such damaged Goods.

14. Your Consumer right of return and refund

This Clause 14 only applies if you are a Consumer.

14.1 If you are a Consumer, you have a legal right to cancel a Contract under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 during the period set out below in Clause 14.3. 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 Good(s), you can notify us 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.

14.2 However, this cancellation right does not apply in the case of:

14.2.1 any bespoke or made to order Goods; or

14.2.2 any Goods which become mixed inseparably with other items after their delivery.

14.3 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 is formed. Your deadline for cancelling the Contract then depends 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 Good (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 Good.

Example: if we provide you with a Dispatch Confirmation on 1 January and you receive the Good on 10 January you may cancel at any time between 1 January and the end of the day on 24 January.

Your Contract is for either of the following:

• one Good which is delivered in instalments on separate days.
• multiple Goods which are delivered on separate days.

The end date is 14 days after the day on which you receive the last instalment of the Good or the last of the separate Goods ordered.

Example: if we provide you with a Dispatch Confirmation on 1 January and you receive the first instalment of your Good or the first of your separate Goods on 10 January and the last instalment or last separate Good on 15 January you may cancel in respect of all instalments and any or all of the separate Goods at any time between 1 January and the end of the day on 29 January.

Your Contract is for the regular delivery of a Good over a set period.

The end date is 14 days after the day on which you receive the first delivery of the Good.

Example: if we provide you with a Dispatch Confirmation on 1 January in respect of Goods to be delivered at regular intervals over a year and you receive the first delivery of your Good 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 Goods to arrive during the year.

14.4 To cancel a Contract, you just need to let us know that you have decided to cancel. The easiest way to do this is to e-mail us at customerservice@spectralights.co.uk or by post to Spectra Lights Limited, Initial Business Centre, Unit 7 Wilons Business Park, Manchester M40 8WN. If you are e-mailing us or writing to us please include details of your order to help us to identify it. If you send us your cancellation notice by e-mail or by post, then your cancellation is effective from the date you send us the e-mail or post the letter to us. For example, you will have given us notice in time as long as you get your letter into the last post on the last day of the cancellation period or e-mail us before midnight on that day.

14.5 If you cancel your Contract we will:

14.5.1 refund you the price you paid for the Goods. However, please note we are 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.

14.5.2 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 we offer (provided that this is a common and generally acceptable method). For example, if we offer delivery of a Good within 3-5 days at one cost but you choose to have the Good delivered within 24 hours at a higher cost, then we will only refund what you would have paid for the cheaper delivery option.

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

14.5.3.1 if you have received the Good and we have not offered to collect it from you: 14 days after the day on which we receive the Good back from you or, if earlier, the day on which you provide us with evidence that you have sent the Good back to us. For information about how to return a Good to us, see Clause 14.8;

14.5.3.2 if you have not received the Good or you have received it and we have offered to collect it from you: 14 days after you inform us of your decision to cancel the Contract.

14.6 If you have returned the Goods to us under this Clause 14 because they are faulty or mis-described, we will refund the price of the Goods in full, together with any applicable delivery charges, and any reasonable costs you incur in returning the item to us.

14.7 We will refund you on the credit card or debit card used by you to pay. If you used vouchers to pay for the Good we may refund you in vouchers.

14.8 If a Good has been delivered to you before you decide to cancel your Contract:

14.8.1 then you must 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. You can either send it back with proof of postage, return it to us in-store or we can organise collection at your cost via our own carrier. Please see our Returns page for details of our returns procedure. If we have offered to collect the Goods from you, we will collect the Goods from the address to which they were delivered unless specified otherwise in writing. We will contact you to arrange a suitable time for collection;

14.8.2 unless the Good is faulty or not as described (in this case, see Clause 14.6), you will be responsible for the cost of returning the Goods to us. If the Good is one which cannot be returned by post, we can assist and organise collection via our carrier, the cost of which will be advised to you prior to collection. This can be organised by contacting our customer care team on customerservice@spectralights.co.uk

14.9 Because you are a Consumer, we are under a legal duty to supply Goods that are in conformity with this Contract. As a Consumer, you have legal rights in relation to Goods that are faulty or not as described. These legal rights are not affected by your right of return and refund in this Clause 14 or anything else in these Conditions. Advice about your legal rights is available from your local Citizens’ Advice Bureau or Trading Standards office.

15. Product availability

15.1 In the event that the Buyer orders a Good which is unavailable, for whatever reason, then the Seller at its absolute discretion reserves the right (both before and after a Contract is formed) to contact the Buyer to offer to:

15.1.1 supply a suitable alternative Good; or

15.1.2 make a partial shipment of the remainder of Goods ordered by the Buyer.

15.2 The Buyer is under no obligation to accept either of the alternatives in sub-Clauses 15.1.1 or 15.1.2, and may, in its absolute discretion cancel the entire order (or, where the Contract has been formed, to cancel the Contract).

15.3 In the event the Buyer cancels the order or Contract under Clause 15.2 the Seller shall return monies paid by the Buyer in accordance with Clause 13.5.

15.4 The Seller shall not be liable for failure to supply the Goods in the event the Buyer chooses to cancel the order or Contract under Clause 15.2.

15.5 If the Buyer is a business, the Seller shall not be liable for any costs incurred by the Buyer for the booking of an installation contractor where a delay in the delivery of products occurs or where there is a problem with the delivered items. The Seller advises that the Buyer does not book a contractor until the Goods have been received and checked.

15.6 If the Buyer is a Consumer, the Seller shall not be responsible for any costs incurred by the Buyer for the booking of an installation contractor where a delay in the delivery of products occurs or where there is a problem with the delivered items unless such costs are a reasonably foreseeable result of our breaking the Contract or our failure to use reasonable care and skill. The Seller advises that the Buyer does not book a contractor until the Goods have been received and checked.

16. Special offers, free gifts, savings, product descriptions

16.1 Any special offers specified in the Catalogue or on the Website may be limited in their quantities and are therefore subject to availability. In the event that there is no further availability of a special offer, then the Seller may, in its absolute discretion, contact the Buyer and offer for sale a similar alternative.

16.2 Any free gifts specified in the Catalogue or on the Website are subject to availability and the Seller reserves the right to make suitable substitutions without prior notice to the Buyer.
