If We make such changes, We will inform you and you may contact Us to end the Contract before the changes are made.

9. Pricing

9.1 We make all reasonable efforts to ensure that prices shown on Our Site are correct. We may change prices from time to time. All pricing information is reviewed and updated regularly. Changes in price will not affect any Order that you have already placed. Please note, however, that changes in VAT will, as explained below in Part 9.2.

9.2 All prices on Our Site include VAT. If the VAT rate changes between your Order being placed and Us taking payment, the amount of VAT payable will be automatically adjusted when taking payment.

If the correct price is lower than that shown when you make your Order, We will simply charge you the lower price.

If the correct price is higher than that shown when you make your Order, We will give you the option to purchase the Goods at the correct price or to cancel your Order (or the affected part of it). We will not proceed with processing your Order in this case until you respond. If you do not respond within seven days, We will treat your Order as cancelled and inform you of the cancellation in writing.

9.5 Delivery charges are not included in the price of Goods shown on Our Site. For more information on delivery charges, please refer to https://www.ukecigstore.com/pages/delivery. Delivery options and related charges will be presented to you as part of the order process.

10. Orders and How Contracts Are Formed

10.1 Our Site will guide you through the ordering process. Before submitting your Order, you will be given the opportunity to review and amend it. Please ensure that you check your Order carefully before submitting it.

10.2 If you provide Us with incorrect or incomplete information during the order process, please contact Us as soon as possible. Where any information is required, it will be stated on Our Site, either in the product descriptions or during the order process, as applicable.

If We cannot process your Order due to incorrect or incomplete information, We will contact you to ask you to correct it or provide the missing information required for Us to supply the Goods to you.

If you do not provide the required information within a reasonable period of Us asking for it, or if the information is inaccurate or incomplete, We may either end the Contract or charge you a reasonable sum as compensation for the extra work required as a result.

We will not be responsible for supplying the affected Goods late or for not supplying the affected Goods if this is due to you not providing Us with the required information within a reasonable period of Us asking for it.

10.3 No part of Our Site constitutes a contractual offer capable of acceptance.
Your Order constitutes a contractual offer. Our acceptance of that offer is indicated by Us sending you an Order Confirmation by email.

Only once we have sent you an Order Confirmation will there be a legally binding Contract between Us and you for the sale of the Goods.

10.4 Order Confirmations contain the following information:

a) Your Order Number;
b) Confirmation of the Goods ordered including full details of their main characteristics;
c) Fully itemised pricing for the Goods ordered including, where appropriate, taxes, delivery, and other additional charges;
d) Estimated delivery dates and times.

10.5 We will also include a paper copy of your Order Confirmation with your Goods.

10.6 Please quote your Order Number if you contact Us about your Order for any reason. You do not have to do this, but it may help Us to locate your Order and help you more quickly and easily.

10.7 In the unlikely event that We cannot accept your Order, We will inform you in writing and explain why. No payment will be taken under normal circumstances. If We have taken payment, any such sums will be refunded.

We may not accept your Order because the Goods are out of stock, because of unexpected limits on Our resources that We could not have reasonably planned for, because We have identified a mistake in the description or price of the Goods, or because We are not able to meet a delivery deadline that you have set.
In addition, we will not accept your order if we suspect that you may be aged under 18.

11. Payment

11.1 Payment for Goods and related delivery charges must always be made in advance. You will be prompted to provide payment details during the ordering process.

11.2 We will not charge your chosen payment method until We process the Goods.

11.3 We accept the following methods of payment:

  • Major credit and debit cards including Visa and Mastercard.
  • PayPal

11.4 On applicable transactions, reward points are issued and these can be redeemed against future purchases. However, these reward points, once issued must be used within 12 months of issue otherwise they are no longer valid. Should you wish to view your points balance you must login to your customer account.

11.5 If you believe that We have charged you an incorrect amount, please contact Us as soon as possible to let Us know.

12. When You Own the Goods

Ownership of the Goods passes to you once We have received payment in full of all sums due.

13. Delivery

13.1 All Goods purchased through Our Site will normally be delivered within seven working days after the date of Our Order Confirmation unless otherwise agreed or specified during the ordering process.

13.2 We will not be responsible for delays that are outside of our reasonable control. If delivery is delayed for such a reason, We will inform you as soon as possible and will take steps to minimise the impact of the delay.

13.3 If there is a risk of a substantial delay to delivery, you may contact Us to end the Contract and will be refunded any sums paid for Goods that you have not received.

13.4 If you (or someone on your behalf) are not available at your address to take delivery of the Goods and they cannot be posted through your letterbox, We will leave a note informing you of how to arrange for re-delivery or of where to collect the Goods.

13.5 If you do not arrange to have the Goods re-delivered or do not collect them, We will contact you to ask for further instructions.
We may charge you for storage and for further delivery costs. If, despite Our reasonable efforts, We cannot contact you or cannot arrange for re-delivery or collection of the Goods, We may end the Contract and issue you with a refund. We may deduct a reasonable sum in compensation for any net costs incurred by Us as a result.

13.6 In the unlikely event that We do not deliver the Goods on time (within 30 calendar days of the Order Confirmation or as otherwise agreed or specified), you have certain legal rights. If any of the following apply, you may treat the Contract as being at an end immediately:

a) We have refused to deliver the Goods;
b) In light of all relevant circumstances, delivery within the specified or agreed time period was essential; or
c) You told Us when ordering the Goods that delivery within the specified or agreed time period was essential.

13.7 If you do not wish to cancel under Part 13.7, or if none of the specified circumstances apply, you may specify a new (reasonable) delivery date. If We fail to meet the new deadline, you may then treat the Contract as being at an end.

13.8 You may cancel all or part of your Order under Parts 13.7 or 13.8 provided that separating the Goods in your Order would not significantly reduce their value.
Any sums that you have already paid for cancelled Goods and their delivery will be refunded to you.

If any cancelled Goods are delivered to you, you must return them to Us or arrange for their collection. We will cover the costs of postage or collection. Please contact Us using the details provided above in Part 3 for a return label or to arrange collection.

13.9 Responsibility for the Goods passes to you once We have delivered the Goods to the address you have provided or once you (or a carrier organised by you, if applicable) collect the Goods from Us.

13.10 As explained in Part 10.2, We will not be responsible for delivering Goods late or for not delivering Goods if this is due to you not providing Us with required information within a reasonable period of Us asking for it.

14. Faulty, Damaged, or Incorrect Goods

14.1 This Part 14 provides a summary of your legal rights as a consumer. These rights may be subject to certain exceptions. For full details please refer to the Citizens Advice website or contact them on 0808 223 1133. Nothing in these Terms of Sale will affect your legal rights.

14.2 The Consumer Rights Act 2015 requires that goods must be as described, fit for purpose, and of satisfactory quality. During the expected lifespan of a product, your legal rights are as follows:

a) Beginning on the day that you receive the Goods (and ownership of them) you have a 30 calendar day right to reject them and to receive a full refund if they do not conform as stated above.
b) If you do not wish to reject the Goods, or if the 30 calendar day rejection period has expired, you may request a repair of the Goods or a replacement. We will cover any associated costs and will carry out the repair or replacement within a reasonable time and without significant inconvenience to you. In certain circumstances, where a repair or replacement is impossible or otherwise disproportionate, We may instead offer you the alternative (i.e. a replacement instead of a repair or vice versa) or a full refund. If you request a repair or replacement during the 30 calendar day rejection period, that period will be suspended while We carry out the repair or replacement and will resume on the day that you receive the replacement or repaired Goods. If less than 7 calendar days remain out of the original rejection period, the time remaining will be extended to 7 calendar days.
c) If, after a repair or replacement, the Goods still do not conform (or if We cannot repair or replace them, as described above, or have failed to act within a reasonable time or without significant inconvenience to you), you may ask Us to attempt the repair or replacement again (you do not have to give Us multiple opportunities to do so if you do not want to), or you have the right either to keep the Goods at a reduced price, or to reject them in exchange for a refund.
d) If you exercise the final right to reject the goods more than six months after you have received the Goods (and ownership of them), We may reduce any refund to reflect the use that you have had out of the Goods.
e) Within a period of six years after you have received the Goods (and ownership of them), if the Goods do not last a reasonable length of time, you may be entitled to a partial refund. Please be aware that after six months have passed since you received the Goods, you must prove that the defect or non-conformity existed at the time of delivery.

14.3 Please note that you will not be eligible to claim under this Part 14 if:

a) We informed you of the problem(s) with the Goods before you purchased them or you had the opportunity to examine them before purchase and the problem(s) should have been obvious to you; or
b) You have caused the problem(s) yourself, for example, through misuse or intentional or careless damage; or
c) You have purchased the Goods for an unsuitable purpose that is neither obvious nor made known to Us and the problem(s) has/have resulted from your use of the Goods for that purpose; or
d) The problem(s) is/are the result of normal wear and tear; or
e) You have changed your mind (please refer to Part 16).

14.4 If there is a problem with the Goods, please contact Us using the details provided above in Part 3.

14.5 If you exercise your legal right to reject the Goods, you must return them to Us.

14.6 To return Goods to Us for any reason under this Part 14, please post them to Us, arrange for their collection, or return them in person. We will cover the costs of postage or collection. Please contact Us using the details provided above in Part 3 for a return label or to arrange collection.

19. Refunds

19.1 All refunds due to you will be made using the same method used by you when paying for the Goods. You will be refunded the price paid for the Goods and for delivery, subject to the following limitations and deductions:

a) If you are exercising your right to change your mind under the cooling-off period, We may reduce your refund to reflect any reduction in the value of the Goods if that reduction has been caused by your handling of the Goods in a way that would not be permitted in a shop. If We issue the refund before inspecting the Goods and subsequently discover that you have handled them in this way, We may charge you an appropriate sum.
b) Standard delivery charges (i.e. the cheapest option available for your Order) will be refunded, but we do not reimburse premium delivery charges. If, for example, Our cheapest delivery option is Royal Mail 48 but you select DPD Courier Service your refund for delivery charges will only be equivalent to the cost of the cheaper option.

a) The day on which We receive the returned Goods;
b) The day on which you inform Us (supplying evidence) that you have sent the Goods back (if this is earlier);
c) If We are collecting the Goods, the day on which you inform Us that you wish to cancel and end the Contract; or
d) If We have not yet provided an Order Confirmation or have not yet dispatched the Goods, the day on which you inform Us that you wish to cancel and end the Contract.

20. Our Liability to Consumers

20.1 We will be responsible for any foreseeable loss or damage that you may suffer as a result of Our breach of these Terms of Sale (or the Contract) or as a result of Our negligence.

We will not be responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable.

20.2 We only supply goods for domestic and private use by consumers. We make no warranty or representation that the Goods are fit for commercial, business or industrial use of any kind (including resale). We will not be liable to you for any loss of profit, loss of business, interruption to business, or for any loss of business opportunity.
