The Company will not be obliged to supply any other Goods which may have been part of the Customer’s order until the dispatch of such Goods has been verified in a separate dispatch confirmation.
    6. The Customer’s order will be fulfilled by the delivery date set out in the dispatch confirmation or, if no delivery date is specified, then within a reasonable time of the date of the dispatch confirmation.
    7. Conditions 12.7-12.10 shall only apply if the Customer is a Consumer.
    8. The Customer may cancel a Contract at any time within 7 working days, beginning on the day after the Customer receives the Goods. In this case, the Customer will receive a full refund of the price paid for the Goods in accordance with the Company’s refunds policy, which is set out in Condition 12.20. This right of cancellation does not apply to any Goods which are personalised or made to the Customer’s specification.
    9. To cancel a Contract, the Customer must inform the Company by sending an email to Mr. Ian Hepworth at ian@mbscooters.co.uk, pursuant to Condition 19 below. The Customer must also return the Goods to the Company immediately, in the same condition in which the Customer received them, and at the Customer’s own cost and risk. The Customer has a legal obligation to take reasonable care of the Goods while they are in the Customer’s possession. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, for items of clothing this means that: (a) the Customer can open the packaging to look at and try on the clothing as the Customer would if the Customer was looking at and trying on the clothing at the Company’s premises (b) tags should not be removed from any item and (c) the original packaging should be retained and returned. If the Customer fails to comply with this obligation, the Company may have a right of action against the Customer for compensation.
    10. Details of how to exercise this right of cancellation are available upon request.
    11. Nothing in this clause affects the Customer’s statutory rights.
    12. All quoted prices exclude VAT (where applicable) unless otherwise stated. VAT and postage charges will be added to the sales total at the checkout stage, but the Company reserves the right to levy additional postage charges, where necessary. If the Customer’s delivery address is outside the UK, the Customer may be subject to import duties and taxes, which are levied once a shipment reaches the Customer’s country. Any such additional charges for customs clearance must be borne exclusively by the Customer. The Customer should note that customs policies vary widely from country to country; we advise all Customers to contact their local customs office for further information.
    13. For small orders, the Company will be entitled to make a minimum order charge or to add a surcharge for delivery, details of which will be provided to the Customer at the time that the Company acknowledges the Customer’s order.
    14. No allowance will be credited for Goods collected from the Company’s premises by the Customer rather than delivered by the Company.
    15. The Company applies loyalty discounts to purchases at the Company’s sole discretion and the Company reserves the right to vary or withdraw any loyalty discount at the Company’s sole discretion, without notice and at any time.
    16. The price of any Goods will be as quoted on the Company’s website from time to time, except in cases of obvious error.
    17. Prices are liable to change at any time, but changes will not affect orders in respect of which the Company has already sent the Customer a dispatch confirmation.
    18. The Company’s website contains a large number of Goods and it is always possible that, despite the Company’s best efforts, some of the Goods listed on the Company’s website may be incorrectly priced. The Company will normally verify prices as part of the Company’s dispatch procedures so that, where the correct price of the Goods is less than the Company’s stated price, the Company will charge the lower amount when dispatching the Goods to the Customer. If the correct price of the Goods is higher than the price stated on the Company’s website, the Company will normally, at the Company’s discretion, either contact the Customer for instructions before dispatching the Goods, or reject the Customer’s order and notify the Customer of such rejection.
    19. The Company is under no obligation to provide the Goods to the Customer at the incorrect (lower) price, even after the Company has sent the Customer a dispatch confirmation, if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could have reasonably been recognised by the Customer as a mispricing.
    20. Payment for all Goods must be by credit or debit card, cash or paypal. The Company accepts payment with Visa, Mastercard, Maestro and Solo.
    21. When the Customer returns Goods to the Company:
      1. because the Customer cancelled the Contract in accordance with Condition 12.7 (Consumer Rights), the Company will process the refund due to the Customer as soon as possible and, in any case, within 30 days of the day the Customer has given notice of the Customer’s cancellation. In this case, the Company will refund the price of the Goods to be returned in full, including the cost of sending the Goods to the Customer. However, the Customer will be responsible for the cost of returning the Goods to the Company;
      2. for any other reason, the Company will examine the returned Goods and will notify the Customer via e-mail within a reasonable time of any refund to which the Customer is entitled. A 10% restocking fee will be deducted from any refund for (a) any non-faulty returns, if the Customer is a Business Customer, and (b) the return of any unwanted Goods that conform to the Contract, where the Customer is a Consumer. The Company will usually process the refund as soon as possible thereafter.
    22. The Company will normally refund any money received from the Customer using the same method originally used by the Customer to pay for the Customer’s purchase.
    23. Commentary, advice and other information, materials and/or images appearing on the Company’s website or otherwise communicated to the Customer by the Company are not intended to be relied upon, nor to amount to anything upon which reliance should be placed. The Company therefore disclaims all liability and responsibility arising from any reliance placed on any such information by anybody who views, hears, receives or is otherwise informed of any such information.
  13. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS
    1. The Customer and the Company agree that in the course of the Company providing Goods and/or Services to the Customer, the parties may disclose to each other certain Confidential Information. The Customer and the Company agree that each party will maintain the Confidential Information’s confidentiality and not disseminate it to any third party without the disclosing party’s prior written consent, save that this obligation shall not apply to any Confidential Information that either party has a duty (whether legal or otherwise) to communicate or that is in the public domain or is already in the receiving party’s possession through no fault of the receiving party.
    2. The Customer acknowledges the Company’s ownership of any Intellectual Property Rights in any Goods and/or Services provided to the Customer pursuant to the Contract and agrees not to contest the Company’s ownership or use of any such Intellectual Property Rights. Without limitation, the Customer shall not acquire any such Intellectual Property Rights or any licence or grant of rights therein, nor shall the Customer register or attempt or permit to be registered, any such Intellectual Property Rights or any licence or grant of rights therein. The Customer further acknowledges that, without limitation, any and all Intellectual Property Rights developed by the Company in performing any Services or providing any Goods shall become vested and shall vest in the Company absolutely and shall also be subject to the other provisions of this Condition 13.2.
  14. DATA PROTECTION The Customer acknowledges and agrees that any personal data contained in any information provided to the Company may be processed by and on behalf of the Company in connection with the Supply of any Goods and/or Services.

      (f) a petition is filed, a notice is given, a resolution is passed, or an order is made, for or on connection with the winding up of that other party other than for the sole purpose of a scheme for a solvent amalgamation of that other party with one or more other companies or the solvent reconstruction of that other party;

      (b) the accrued rights and liabilities of the parties as at termination and the continuation of any provision expressly stated to survive or implicitly surviving termination, shall not be affected.
    3. On termination of the Contract (however arising), conditions 9-14 and 19 shall survive and continue in full force and effect.
  16. ASSIGNMENT/SUBCONTRACTING
    1. The Company may assign the Contract or any part of it to any person, firm or company.
    2. The Customer shall not be entitled to assign the Contract or any part of it without the prior written consent of the Company.
