These terms and conditions form the basis on which you can visit us and our website. Please read them carefully
as they contain important information.

General terms and conditions

This site is owned and operated by Hawthorn Electrics of 579 Southleigh Road, Emsworth, Hampshire, UK. If you
have any queries about these terms and conditions or if you have any comments or complaints on or about our
website, you can contact us at info@hawthornshop.co.uk or 01243 372988.
We have two sets of terms and conditions, the first set relates to the purchase of goods from us via our website
and the second set relates to the provision of electrical contracting work in your home or business premises.

Terms and Conditions for Purchase of Goods on our Website

1.         The contract between us

We must receive payment of the whole of the price for the goods that you order before your order can be accepted.
Payment of the price for the goods represents an offer on your part to purchase the goods, which will be accepted
by us only when the goods are dispatched. Only at this point is a legally binding contract created between us.

2.         Acknowledgement of your order

   To enable us to process your order, you will need to provide us with your e-mail address. We will notify you by
e-mail as soon as possible to confirm receipt of your order and to confirm details. For the avoidance of doubt, this
correspondence does not constitute a contract between us.

3.         Ownership of rights

All rights, including copyright, in this website are owned by or licensed to Hawthorn Electrics. Any use of this
website or its contents, including copying or storing it or them in whole or part, other than for your own personal,
non-commercial use, is prohibited without our permission. You may not modify, distribute or re-post anything on this
website for any purpose.

4.         Accuracy of content

We have taken care in the preparation of the content of this website, in particular to ensure that prices quoted are
correct at the time of publishing and that all goods have been described accurately. However, orders will only be
processed if there are no material errors in the description of the goods or their prices as advertised on this website.
Any weights, dimensions and capacities given about the goods are approximate only.

5.         Damage to your computer

We try to ensure that this website is free from viruses or defects. However, we cannot guarantee that your use of
this website or any websites accessible through it will not cause damage to your computer. It is your responsibility
to ensure that the right equipment is available to use the website. Except in the case of negligence on our part,
we will not be liable to any person for any loss or damage which may arise to computer equipment as a result of
using this website.

6.         Availability

All orders are subject to acceptance and availability. If the goods you have ordered are not available from stock,
we will contact you by e-mail or phone (if you have given us details). You will have the option either to wait until
the item is available from stock or to cancel your order.

7.         Ordering errors

You are able to correct errors on your order up to the point on which you click on “submit” during the ordering
process.

8.         Price

The prices payable for goods that you order are as set out on our website. All prices are inclusive of VAT at the
current rates and are correct at the time of entering information.

Where it is not possible to accept your order to buy goods of the specification and description at the price indicated,
we will advise you by email, and offer to sell you the goods of the specification and description at the price stated in
the email and will state in the email the period for which the offer or the price remains valid.

9.         Payment terms

   We will take payment upon receipt of your order from your credit or debit card. We accept no liability if a delivery
is delayed because you did not give us the correct payment details. If it is not possible to obtain full payment for the
goods from you, then we can refuse to process your order and/or suspend any further deliveries to you. This does
not affect any other rights we may have.

10.       Delivery charges

Delivery charges vary according to the type of goods ordered.

11.       Delivery

11.1     Our delivery charges are set out on the following page of our website
http://www.hawthornshop.co.uk/delivery-19-w.asp

11.2    Intentionally Blank

11.3     Please note that we are only able to deliver to addresses within the United Kingdom and some other parts
of the world all as detailed on the delivery charges page.

11.4     We will deliver the goods to the address you specify for delivery in your order. It is important that this address
is accurate. Please be precise about where you would like the goods left if you are out when we deliver. We cannot
accept any liability for any loss or damage to the goods once they have been delivered in accordance with your
delivery instructions (unless this is caused by our negligence). We will aim to deliver the goods by the date quoted
for delivery but delivery times are not guaranteed and therefore time is not of the essence. In any event, we will aim
to deliver your goods within 30 days from the day after the day we received your order. If delivery is delayed beyond
this time, we will contact you and either agree a mutually acceptable alternative date, or offer you a full refund.

11.5     You will become the owner of the goods you have ordered when they have been delivered to you. Once
goods have been delivered to you they will be held at your own risk and we will not be liable for their loss or
destruction.

12.       Risk and ownership

   Risk of damage to or loss of the goods passes to you at the time of delivery to you. If you choose to use your own
courier then the risk passes to you as soon as the goods are handed to your courier. You will only own the goods
once they have been successfully delivered.

13.       Cancellation rights

13.1     Under The Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013
SI 2013/3134 you have the legal right to cancel your order up to 14 calendar days after the day on which you receive
your goods (with the exception of any made to order items). You do not need to give us any reason for cancelling your
contract nor will you have to pay any penalty.

13.2     Should you wish to cancel your order, you can use the cancellation form provided at the end of these terms
and conditions, or alternatively you can notify us in writing by any durable medium (for example letter sent by post,
fax or e-mail).

13.2     You cannot cancel your contract if the goods you have ordered are bespoke (i.e. made to order), newspapers
or magazines or if you have taken any audio or video recording or computer software out of the sealed package in
which it was delivered to you.

13.3     If you have received the goods before you cancel your contract then you must send the goods back to our
contact address at your own cost and risk. If you cancel your contract but we have already processed the goods
for delivery, you should not unpack the goods when they are received by you and you must send the goods back
to us at our contact address at your own cost and risk as soon as possible.

13.4     Once you have notified us that you are cancelling your contract, and we have either received the goods
back or, if earlier, received evidence that you have sent the goods back, we will refund any sum debited by us from
your credit or debit card within 14 calendar days.

13.5     We may make a deduction from your refund for any loss in the value of the goods supplied if the loss is
the result of unnecessary handling by you (for example using or wearing the goods prior to cancellation)

14.       Cancellation by us

14.1     We reserve the right not to process your order if:

14.1.1 We have insufficient stock to deliver the goods you have ordered;

14.1.3 One or more of the goods you ordered was listed at an incorrect price due to a typographical error or an
error in the pricing information received by us from our suppliers.

14.2     If we do not process your order for the above reasons, we will notify you by e-mail and will re-credit to your
account any sum deducted by us from your credit/debit card as soon as possible, but in any event within 14 days.

15.       Liability

15.1     Unless agreed otherwise, if you do not receive goods ordered by you within 30 days of the date on which
you ordered them and decide to cancel the order rather than re-arrange delivery (in accordance with clause 11),
we will provide you with a full refund.

15.2     We are only responsible for losses that are a natural, foreseeable consequence of our breach of these terms
and conditions. We do not accept liability if we are prevented or delayed from complying with our obligations set out
in these terms and conditions by anything you (or anyone acting with your express or implied authority) does or fails
to do, or is due to events which are beyond our reasonable control.

15.3     Furthermore, we do not accept liability for any losses related to any business of yours including but not limited
to: lost data, lost profits, lost revenues or business interruption.

15.4     You must observe and comply with all applicable regulations and legislation, including obtaining all necessary
customs, import or other permits to purchase goods from our site. The importation or exportation of certain of our
goods to you may be prohibited by certain national laws. We make no representation and accept no liability in
respect of the export or import of the goods you purchase.

have as a consumer under applicable local law or other statutory rights that may not be excluded nor in any way to
exclude or limit our liability to you for any death or personal injury resulting from our negligence.   You have certain
rights as a consumer including legal rights (e.g. under the Sale of Goods Act 1979 (as amended)) relating to faulty
and/or mis-described goods.
