General.
These conditions are in place of and exclude all other representations, warranties and conditions except as implied by statute and in particular the purchaser acknowledges that he has relied solely upon his own inspection and skill and judgement and not by reason of any representation by the company. In the absence of a written order from the purchaser, the company’s internal order will constitute the basis of the agreement. Unless expressly accepted in writing by the company any variations of or additions to these conditions in a purchaser’s order or order form will be deemed to be inapplicable. We may, from time to time, change some or all of the terms of this Agreement. The terms which will apply to you are those which appear on our website on the date which you order from us (your ‘order’). You should print out and retain a copy of those terms at the time at which you send us your order.

The Order

Descriptive and clerical errors are subject to correction. Orders must be placed by the issue of a valid purchase order or other written communication. Safe Connect reserve the right not to accept any customer order. We will treat your order as an offer to buy and except for retail or mail order sales we will send you an email to confirm receipt of your offer. This e-mail this does not mean that your offer has been accepted. Certain products and offers may only be available to qualifying customers, for example in particular geographical areas.

Prices & Quotations

All prices quoted on our site exclude carriage costs which will be added to your order during the checkout process. VAT, where applicable, has been added to the price of the products at the appropriate rate unless explicitly requested, method of carriage will be at our discretion. Any costs omitted or corrections on your invoice will be invoiced / credited later. All advertised/advised/published pricing is subject to change at any time without notice due to market/currency fluctuations and other factors. Please be advised that whilst prices are shown in local currency all monies are taken in English pounds. In certain instances there may be variations with the amount that you’ve paid and the amount on your card. This is down to exchange rate fluctuations your bank charges you and not something we can control. If a price has risen, we will advise before proceeding with an order if you have specified a different price on your order. All quotations are subject to withdrawal or reasonable variation by the company at any time prior to firm acceptance of an order. No order given to the company based upon a quotation shall be binding upon the company until accepted by the company in writing. The company reserves the right to correct any error or omission or quotation or invoice without prior notice.

Payment

We accept payment by PayPal, cash, cheque, postal order, most major credit / debit cards and banker’s draft. We reserve the right not to dispatch goods until your funds have cleared. All costs, charges and expenses incurred by us in recovering any debt shall be paid by you. If a payment is made by cheque which is returned unpaid, you shall be liable for all reasonable costs incurred as a result.

Assignment

We reserve the right to transfer any debt to us or other elements of our contract with you, or other liabilities in part or whole to a third party.

Credit Checking & Validity

We reserve the right to liaise with credit reference and other agencies with regard to your status and submit information accordingly and in line with relevant legislation.

Retention of Title

All goods remain our property until such a time as they have been paid in full. Goods supplied may not be resold by you until they have been paid for in full, unless the new purchaser is made aware that title remains with us until we have been paid in full.

Reselling

If goods are resold without our written permission such sale will invalidate any non statutory returns policy that may be in force. Please contact head office to find out more about becoming a Safe Connect reseller.

Delivery & Acceptance

In most cases, unless agreed otherwise, we dispatch using our preferred carrier.
Standard UK Delivery is normally made within 5 working days but no absolute guarantee can be given of this or any other delivery times. Where a premium service is requested (e.g. next day, AM delivery or Saturday) our liability extends only to a refund of the premium should the delivery not be attempted on time. Same-day dispatch is subject to the order being received earlier than that working day’s ‘cut off’ time but this may vary with workload or around holiday periods which you will be notified at the time of order. “Working day” is considered to be Monday to Friday, excluding holidays or any other day on which our offices are closed. Deliveries may be made any time between 9am and 6pm. Our standard delivery service covers most parts of mainland UK. It is essential that someone will be at the delivery address to receive and sign for the goods. You must inspect goods supplied as soon as practicable after delivery and notify us within a reasonable period of time of delivery any alleged defect or failure to comply with the description of the goods. The goods are at your risk from the time of delivery and no liability will be accepted by us for damage or loss to the products after the time that the delivery document stating that the goods were received has been signed. Failing such notice you will be deemed to have accepted the products and it shall be conclusively presumed that the products are in accordance with the contract and free from any defect or damage, which would be apparent on examination.

Carriage Rates

Our standard UK mainland handling & delivery is charged at £1.99 with expected delivery within 5 working days. This may be subject to change.

Transit Damage

Goods obviously damaged in transit must be notified to us within 48 hours of receipt. You are advised to keep all packaging as that may be required in the event of a claim.

Returns

This policy does not affect your statutory rights.

30 Day Returns Guarantee

We will give you 30-days to assess products bought directly from Safe Connect (this excludes any products purchased via promotions through third party websites), and if it isn’t to your liking, return it in good saleable condition and we will give you your money back for the product. Before goods can be returned we must issue a returns authorisation number in order that we can track it accurately. Please ensure that your returns authorisation number is included with your returned item so that you can be credited appropriately. Items being returned should use a suitably packed, insured and traceable carriage method. Items need to be returned within ten (10) days after the returns authorisation number has been provided. Where the original purchase had the delivery charge waived (‘Free Delivery’), you may be charged the delivery cost originally waived. We reserve the right to charge a restocking fee on unused, unopened items returned and accepted by Safe Connect after the 30 day return period. For items that are returned open or with missing or damaged parts other than if faulty, we reserve the right to charge a restocking fee or an amount to cover the cost of the damaged / missing item. Carriage costs will only be refunded in instances where the full product pack has been returned and we determine the products are faulty. Please keep all the warranty information that accompanies your item as this may be needed should there be a fault. In the event of Safe Connect sending you a replacement for a damaged, defective or wrong item, you must return the damaged, defective or wrong item to us within 30 days of receipt of the replacement.  We reserve the right to charge the price of the replacement item to the payment card used for the original order if you do not return the original item as aforesaid.

Product Refunds

If you are returning a pack because of an error on our part or, in accordance with our returns policy, because it is damaged or defective, we will refund the delivery charges incurred in sending the item to you and pay your reasonable delivery costs of returning it to us to a limit of £10 per pack. We will check all items returned as damaged or defective. In the event we find no fault, we reserve the right to re-charge you for the item/s and to recover our fees and expenses from you. Refunds for goods purchased under a promotional offer will be based on the terms of the promotional price

Goods Suitability

It is your responsibility to ensure that the correct goods and correct model are ordered for your purposes. In some circumstances, the capability we specify and advertise of the product may not match that of our published specifications elsewhere, often due to international variations. Please, therefore, refer to our site for the specification. This may also apply to specifications listed within any packaging and user guide/manuals supplied which may not apply to your particular product, either due to product development, varying models, specification change or local variations.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permissible by law, we will not be liable for damages arising out of or in connection with the provision of products and/or services or the use of our site.

Force Majeure

Whilst we will use our reasonable endeavours to complete our obligations under this agreement, we will not be liable to you or be deemed to be in breach of this agreement if we need to cancel this agreement due to our inability to secure labour, materials or supplies or as a result of any act of God, war, strike or other labour dispute, fire, flood, drought, legislation, criminal damage, equipment or technical failures, including the unavailability of third party telecommunications, services, lines or other equipment, or other causes beyond our control.
