7.4 How long do I have to change my mind? You have 14 days after the day you (or someone you nominate) receive the goods unless your goods are split into several deliveries over different days.

Please email us at support@varicoltd.com to obtain authorisation to return the goods with the driver, or alternatively return the goods yourself in person or via a shipping method that provides tracking information. Charges will apply for returned items that are returned with the driver after they have been dispatched.  Items returned without prior authorisation being given may be rejected.

8.5 Deductions from refunds if you are exercising your right to change your mind. If you are exercising your right to change your mind, we may reduce your refund of the price (excluding delivery costs) to reflect any reduction in the value of the goods, if this has been caused by your handling of them.

10. PRICE AND PAYMENT

 

10.1 Where to find the price for the goods. The price of the goods (which includes any VAT) will be quoted in British Pounds Sterling and will be indicated on the order pages when you placed your order. We take all reasonable care to ensure that the price of the goods advised to you is correct. However please see clause 10.3 for what happens if we discover an error in the price of the goods you order.

 

10.2 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 goods, we will adjust the rate of VAT that you pay, unless you have already paid for the goods in full before the change in the rate of VAT takes effect.

 

10.3 What happens if we got the price wrong. It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the goods we sell may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices before accepting your order so that, where the goods' correct price at your order date is less than our stated price at your order date, we will charge the lower amount. If the goods' 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. 

 

10.4 When you must pay and how you must pay. We accept payment with those credit/debit cards shown on our website, PayPal and Klarna. You must pay for the goods before we dispatch them. 

 

11. OUR RESPONSIBILITY FOR LOSS OR DAMAGE SUFFERED BY YOU

 

11.1 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, 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.

 

11.2 We do not exclude or limit in any way our liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so. This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors; or for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.

14.4 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.
