7.2 When we will provide the products. When we send you an email formally accepting your Order, we will confirm the delivery option selected by you at the checkout.

7.4 If you are not at home when the Product is delivered. If no one is available at your address to take delivery and the Products cannot be posted through your letterbox, our third party courier should either leave you a note, or send you an email or text message, informing you of how to rearrange delivery or collect the products from an alternative address, such as a neighbour, a local depot or designated collection outlet.

7.5 If you do not re-arrange delivery. If, after a failed delivery to you, you do not re-arrange delivery or collect them from an alternative address, a delivery depot or designated collection outlet, we (or our third party courier) will contact you for further instructions and we may charge you for storage costs and any further delivery costs. If, despite our reasonable efforts, we are unable to contact you or re-arrange delivery or collection we may end the Contract and Clause 10.2 will apply.

7.6 When you become responsible for the products. A Product will be your responsibility from the time we deliver the Product to the address you gave us, or delivered to the alternative address that you instruct our third party courier to deliver to, or on collection by you from a local depot or designated collection outlet.

8. HOW TO BREAK UP WITH US

8.1 Your rights to end your contract with us. Your rights when you end the Contract will depend on what you have bought, whether there is anything wrong with it, and when you decide to end the Contract:

a) If you want to end the Contract because of something we have done or have told you we are going to do, see Clause 8.2;

b) If you have just changed your mind about the product, see Clauses 8.3, 8.4 and 8.5. You may be able to get a refund if you are within the Cooling-Off Period (as defined in Clause 8.5 below), but this may be subject to deductions and you will have to pay the costs of return of any Products;

c) If what you have bought is faulty or not as advertised you may have a legal right to end the Contract (or to get the Product repaired or replaced or to get some or all of your money back), see Clause 11.

8.2 Ending the Contract because of something we have done or are going to do. If you are ending a Contract for a reason set out at (a) to (e) below the Contract will end immediately and we will refund you in full for any Products which have not been provided and you may also be entitled to compensation. The reasons are:

a) we have told you about an upcoming change to these Terms which you do not agree to (see clause 6.2);

b) we have told you about an error in the price or description of the Product you have ordered and you do not wish to proceed (see Clause 12.2);

c) there is a risk that supply of the Products may be substantially delayed because of events outside our control (see Clause 7.3);

d) we have suspended supply of the Products for technical reasons, or notify you we are going to suspend them for technical reasons, in each case for a period of more than 14 days (See Clause 7.9); or

e) you have a legal right to end the contract because of something we have done wrong.

9. HOW TO END THE CONTRACT WITH US (INCLUDING IF YOU HAVE CHANGED YOUR MIND) AND RETURNING PRODUCTS

9.1 Tell us you want to end the Contract. To end the Contract with us, please let us know by doing one of the following:

a) Email or phone. Email us at info@eptq.co.uk or call our customer services team (on the telephone number on our Site). Please provide your name, home address, the Order Number and, where available, your phone number and email address

9.2 Returning products. If you request an exchange, replacement or refund for any reason after the Products have been dispatched to you, or after you have received them, you must return the Products to us. If you are exercising your right to change your mind and wish to end the Contract as provided for in Clause 8.1, you must send the Products to us within 14 days of telling us you wish to end the contract.

9.3 When sending the Products to us, it is your responsibility to ensure that we receive the Products safely and securely to the delivery address stated on either the Cancellation Form or Returns Form. We do not accept any responsibility for Products that are lost or damaged in the post and will not be required to refund you, in the event of such circumstances.

9.4 When we will pay the costs of return. We will pay the costs of return:

a) if the Products are faulty and you are claiming under our Consumer Warranty or under your legal rights as per clause 11.5; or

b) if you are ending the contract because we have told you of an upcoming change to the Product or these Terms, an error in pricing or description, a substantial delay in delivery due to events outside our control or because you have a legal right to do so as a result of something we have done wrong.

In all other circumstances you must pay the costs of return.

9.5 How we will refund you. We will refund you the price you paid for the Products including standard delivery costs, by the method you used for payment. However, we may make deductions from the price, as described below.

9.6 Deductions from refunds if you are exercising your right to change your mind during the Cooling-off Period.

We may reduce your refund of the price (excluding delivery costs) to reflect any reduction in the value of the Products, if this has been caused by your handling them in a way which would not be permitted in a shop. All returned Products need to be received in a resalable condition to be entitled for any refund. If you have received a promotional item in your order, the full contents need to be returned to qualify for a full refund. If we refund you the price paid before we are able to inspect the Products and later discover you have handled them in an unacceptable way, you must pay us an appropriate amount on request by us.

9.7 When your refund will be made. We will make any refunds due to you as soon as possible. If you are exercising your right to change your mind then, subject to the safe receipt of the Products and in line with Clause 9.3, your refund will be made within 14 days of you telling us you have changed your mind.

10. OUR RIGHTS TO END THE CONTRACT

10.1 We may end the Contract if you break it. We may end the Contract for a Product at any time by writing to you if you breach your obligations under the Contract. This may apply, for example, if you do not, within a reasonable time, allow us to deliver the Products to you or collect the Products from us.

10.2 You must compensate us if you break the contract. If we end the Contract in the situation set out in Clause 10.1 we will refund any money you have paid in advance for Products we have not provided but we may deduct or charge you a percentage of the price as compensation for the net costs we incur as a result of your breaking the Contract. This may include, for example, our storage costs or any further delivery costs.

10.3 We may withdraw the Product. We may write to you to let you know that we are going to stop providing the Product. We will let you know at least seven (7) days in advance of our stopping the supply of the Product and will refund any sums you have paid in advance for Products which will not be provided.

11. IF SOMETHING’S NOT RIGHT

11.1 How to tell us about problems. When you receive your Products, you must check them and contact us as soon as possible to see whether there is any damages, or the Products are not as advertised. If you have any questions or complaints about the Product, please write to us at info@eptq.co.uk , or contact our customer service (on the telephone number on our Site) providing us with photographic evidence as and where possible.

11.2 Your options if a Product is faulty or not as advertised. If a Product is faulty or not as advertised, you can choose whether to claim under our Consumer Warranty (see Clause 11.3) or in accordance with your legal rights under consumer law (see Clause 11.5).

12. PRICE AND PAYMENT

12.1 Where to find the price for the Product. The price of the Product (which includes VAT) will be the price indicated on the Site when you placed your Order. We take all reasonable care to ensure that the price of the Product advised to you is correct. However please see Clause 12.2 for what happens if we discover an error in the price of the Product you Order. We reserve the right to change our prices at our discretion.

12.2 What happens if we got the price wrong. It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the Products we sell may be incorrectly priced on our Site. We will normally check prices before accepting your Order so that, where the Product’s correct price at your Order date is less than our stated price at your Order date, we will charge the lower amount. If the Product’s 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. If we accept and process your Order where a pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could reasonably have been recognised by you as a mispricing, we may end the Contract, require you to return any Products provided to you and (following our safe receipt of such Products) refund you any sums you have paid.

12.3 When you must pay and how you must pay. We accept payment with all major credit and debit cards. You must pay for the Products at the time of submitting your Order and before we dispatch them.
