2.1 By placing an order through our site, you warrant that:

2.1.1 you are legally capable of entering into binding contracts; and

2.1.2 you are at least 18 years old.

3 How the Contract is Formed Between You and Us
3.1 After placing an order, you will receive an e-mail from us acknowledging that we have received your order.  Please note that this does not mean that your order has been accepted.  Your order constitutes an offer to us to buy an item.  All orders are subject to acceptance by us, and we will confirm such acceptance to you by sending you an e-mail that confirms that the item has been dispatched (the Dispatch Confirmation).  The contract between us (Contract) will only be formed when we send you the Dispatch Confirmation.

3.2 The Contract will relate only to those items whose dispatch we have confirmed in the Dispatch Confirmation.  We will not be obliged to supply any other item which may have been part of your order until the dispatch of such items has been confirmed in a separate Dispatch Confirmation.

4 Our Status
We may provide links on our site to the websites of other organisations, whether affiliated with us or not.  We cannot give any undertaking, that products you purchase from third party sellers through our site, or from companies to whose website we have provided a link on our site, will be of satisfactory quality, and any such warranties are DISCLAIMED by us absolutely.  This DISCLAIMER does not affect your statutory rights against the third party seller.  We will notify you when a third party is involved in a transaction, and we may disclose your customer information related to that transaction to the third party seller.

5 Consumer Rights
5.1 If you are contracting as a consumer, you may cancel a Contract at any time within seven working days, beginning on the day after you received the items.  In this case, you will receive a full refund of the price paid for the items in accordance with our refunds policy (set out in condition 9 below). 

5.2 To cancel a Contract, you must inform us by emailing us at uniform@woodlandsschools.co.uk.  If you have already received the items, you must return them to us immediately (you will have to pay the post and packaging costs of returning them to us) unworn, unwashed, in original condition, with all labelling intact and together with the original packaging. Please ensure that you do not remove any hygiene seals and enclose a completed Returns Form which can be downloaded from our site. For further information, please see our Returns Policy.

6 Availability and Delivery
Your order will be fulfilled by the delivery date set out in the Dispatch Confirmation or, if no delivery date is specified, then within 30 days of the date of the Dispatch Confirmation, unless there are exceptional circumstances.  Delivery will be to woodlands school office designated by purchaser.

7 Risk and Title
7.1 The items will be at your risk from the time of delivery.

7.2 You are requested to check all items at the time of delivery.  The delivery note should be signed noting any shortages or damage.  You must also inform us within 3 days of delivery of any such shortages or damage.  We can be contacted by email at uniform@woodlandsschools.co.uk - please quote your order reference number when emailing us.  We regret we cannot accept liability for missing items or items which were damaged at delivery if we are not informed in this manner.

7.3 We request that our deliveries are signed for at delivery.  If you are not available to sign at the time of delivery, our carrier will leave the items outside your address, unless you specify otherwise.  We regret we cannot accept responsibility for late/non-delivery of items arising from incorrect delivery information being provided by you.  Where you have requested the items to be delivered at an address other than the credit/debit card billing address, our carrier will endeavour to obtain a signature upon delivery, however we regret we cannot accept liability for missing or damaged items if no signature is obtained or where the signatory does not check the condition of the consignment.

7.4 Ownership of the items will only pass to you when we receive full payment of all sums due in respect of the items, including delivery charges.

8 Price and Payment
8.1 The price of any items will be as quoted on our site from time to time, except in cases of obvious error. 

8.2 These prices include VAT but exclude delivery costs, which will be added to the total amount due as set out in our Delivery Guide [INSERT AS LINK TO SITE'S DELIVERY GUIDE].

8.3 Prices are liable to change at any time, but changes will not affect orders in respect of which we have already sent you a Dispatch Confirmation.

8.4 Our site contains a number of items and it is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the items listed on our site may be incorrectly priced.  We will normally verify prices as part of our dispatch procedures so that, where an item's correct price is less than our stated price, we will charge the lower amount when dispatching the item to you.  If an item's correct price is higher than the price stated on our site, we will normally, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before dispatching the item, or reject your order and notify you of such rejection.

8.5 We are under no obligation to provide the item to you at the incorrect (lower) price, even after we have sent you a Dispatch Confirmation, if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as a mis-pricing.

8.6 Payment for all items must be by credit or debit card.  We accept payment with MasterCard and Visa.

9 Our Refunds Policy
9.1 When you return an item to us because you have cancelled the Contract between us within the seven-day cooling-off period (see condition 5.1 above), we will process the refund due to you as soon as possible and, in any case, within 30 days of the day you have given notice of your cancellation. In this case, we will refund the price of the item in full, including the cost of sending the item to you.  However, you will be responsible for the cost of returning the item to us.

9.2 If you are cancelling the contract within the seven-day cooling-off period, you must return the items to us within 21 days of your cancellation.  If we do not receive the items within 21 days, we reserve the right to arrange to collect them and charge you the cost of doing so.  If you do not return the items or fail to make them available for collection within 30 days of your cancellation, you will be deemed to have accepted them, at which point a new Contract will be made and you will be re-charged for your order if we have already processed your refund.  This does not affect your statutory rights.

9.3 If you are returning an item to us for any other reason (for instance, because you have notified us that that the relevant item is defective), if it is outside of the period of time given by our Returns Policy we will examine the returned item and will notify you of your refund via e-mail within a reasonable period of time.  We will usually process the refund due to you as soon as possible and, in any case, within 30 days of the day we confirmed to you via e-mail that you were entitled to a refund for the defective item.  Items returned by you because of a defect will be refunded in full, including a refund of the delivery charges for sending the item to you and the cost incurred by you in returning the item to us, unless you request a replacement, in which case we will send you replacement items instead and we will refund you the cost of returning the defective items to us.  In some circumstances, it may be necessary for us to arrange collection of the defective items from you, which we will discuss with you at the relevant time.

9.4 We will usually refund any money received from you using the same method originally used by you to pay for your purchase.

10 Our Liability
10.1 You have certain applicable mandatory statutory rights, which cannot be limited or excluded but which may be amended from time-to-time. These mandatory statutory rights will apply to the Contract in the form in which they are in force from time-to-time.

10.2 Our liability for losses you suffer as a result of us breaking the Contract is strictly limited to the purchase price of the relevant item you purchased and any losses which are a foreseeable consequence of us breaking the Contract. Losses are foreseeable where they could be contemplated by you and us at the time your order is accepted by us.

10.3 We are not responsible for indirect losses which happen as a side effect of the main loss or damage and which are not foreseeable by you and us including but not limited to loss of income, revenue or anticipated savings.

10.4 Where you buy any item from a third party seller through our site, the seller's individual liability will be set out in the seller's terms and conditions.
