  4. Order process and formation of a contract

    1. All orders are subject to acceptance and availability. If we are unable to supply you with the Services in your order due to matters such as unavailability of stock, materials, key staff or an Event Outside our Control or because we have identified a mistake in the description of the Services or the price stated by us, we will notify you. We will not proceed with the order and will refund any sums you have paid us.

    2. Any order placed by you for the Services constitutes an offer to purchase them from us.

    3. You agree that if we contact you to acknowledge receipt of your order such communication shall not amount to our acceptance of your offer to purchase the Services.

    4. A 'Confirmation Notice' means an email which we send to you to confirm that we shall be providing the requested Services. A Confirmation Notice will be our acceptance of the offer made in the order to which that Confirmation Notice relates.

    5. A contract between you and us for the supply of the Services (the 'Contract') incorporating the version of these Conditions in force at the time of your order will come into existence when we send you the Confirmation Notice relating to your order. You may print and keep a copy of the Confirmation Notice for future reference.

    6. If you think that there is a mistake in the Confirmation Notice or if you wish to make any changes, please contact us to discuss this. If you request a change, we will tell you if that is possible and about any changes to the price, delivery or performance dates or any other changes that we need to make as a result of your request. We will ask you if you wish to go ahead with the change.

    7. We may make

      1. changes to these Conditions as a result of changes in any relevant laws and regulatory requirements,

      2. changes to these Conditions as a result of changes in how we accept payment from you,

      3. changes in the amount payable by you to the extent of any changes in the VAT included in the price or payable in relation to the price.

    8. If we make any changes in accordance with clause 7.7 we will give you written notice of the changes before we supply the Services. You can choose to cancel the contract if the change would be significantly to your disadvantage.

  5. Performance of Services

    1. The Services will be performed at the address or by the means specified by us when we accept the order.

    2. When we accept the order, we will confirm estimated start and completion dates for the performance of the Services. We will endeavour to perform the Services in accordance with these estimated dates and will perform the Services within a reasonable time from the date we accept the order.

    3. In the event that an Event Outside Our Control prevents us from performing the Services within a reasonable time from the date we accept the order, clause 14 will apply.

    4. If we need to provide the Services at the premises occupied by you, you will provide access to the premises on the date we have agreed for the Services to be carried out.

    5. If you fail to provide access to the premises on the agreed date,

      1. you must pay us any additional costs incurred by us in providing the Services to you

      2. in the event that despite our reasonable efforts we are unable to obtain access to the premises to provide the Services, we may end the contract with you. We will refund you any money you have paid less our reasonable costs incurred in attempting to perform the Contract.

    6. If we ask you to provide us with information in order for us to provide the Services, you must provide us with complete and accurate information by the date we request that you provide it by, otherwise:

      1. you must pay us any reasonable sum we charge you to cover any extra work that is necessary as a result of you providing incomplete or inaccurate information.

      2. you must pay us any additional costs incurred by us in providing the Services to you resulting from you not providing such information to us by the date we have requested.

      3. we may suspend the Services by giving you written notice unless you agree to pay such extra costs.

      4. in the event that despite our reasonable efforts we are unable to obtain the requested information from you and are therefore unable to supply the Services, we may end the contract with you. We will refund you any money you have paid less our reasonable costs incurred in attempting to perform the Contract.

    7. We will not be liable for any delay or non-performance due to your failure to provide us with complete and accurate information by the time we have requested.

    8. If we suspend the Services under this clause, you do not have to pay for the Services while they are suspended, but you will remain liable to pay any invoices we have already sent you for Services we have already performed.

  6. If there is a problem with the Services

    1. If the Services provided do not conform to the Contract due to them not being provided with reasonable care and skill:

      1. you should provide us with details of the problem as soon as reasonably possible;

Terms and conditions

The first document is the terms and conditions for supplying services to consumers. It should be uploaded onto and used in conjunction with your website. On your website you should describe the services that you are supplying and state the prices and other specific details.

Before your customers place their order and click on your 'Pay Now' button, there should be a link to these terms and conditions. Alternatively your customer should have to scroll through them. There should then be an 'I accept' checkbox referring to these terms and conditions. Your website should not allow your customer to proceed with the order unless they have ticked the 'I accept' checkbox.

There is other 'pre-contract information' that you must provide to the consumer before they make the contract - we have summarised this in the checklist on the next page. We recommend that you provide this information on your website and in the confirmation notice (see below) to the extent that it is not already provided in the terms and conditions and to the extent that it applies to the particular goods/services being offered.

After you have decided to accept the order, send the consumer a confirmation notice on a 'durable medium' e.g. by email or post. If you have not yet provided the pre-contract information on a durable medium, you must include it in your confirmation notice. You must send this confirmation notice to the consumer within a reasonable time after the contract is made, and before delivering the goods or starting performance of the services.

 

Cancellation form

The second document is the model cancellation form that you must provide to your customer along with your confirmation of the order (confirmation notice). You could provide the cancellation form by uploading it onto your website and providing a link to it in the confirmation notice. Alternatively, you could provide it as an email attachment or enclose it in a confirmation notice sent by post. The customer does not have to use it, and may cancel by clearly indicating to you that they wish to do so. If the customer completes and submits the cancellation form to you online, you must send them an acknowledgement of receipt on a durable medium without delay.

 

Checklist of pre-contract information to be supplied to your customer

If you are selling goods and/or services to a consumer via a distance contract, you must give the consumer certain information before they place the order. You must provide this information in a clear, prominent manner that is appropriate to contracting via a website. You should also repeat the information in the order confirmation notice. This is usually an email sent to confirm that you are dispatching the goods or will perform the services. The confirmation notice must be in a durable medium, i.e. on paper, by email or in a form that allows the consumer to store and reproduce it. Note that these terms and conditions are not appropriate for contracts of indeterminate duration or subscription contracts.

The information that must be given to the consumer before they place the order is:    

  1. A description of the main characteristics of the Services

  2. The total price, including all taxes, or the manner in which the price is to be calculated if the nature of the goods or services means it cannot be calculated in advance

  3. Delivery and any other costs, where appropriate

  4. The duration of the contract and minimum duration of the customer's obligations under the contract.

  5. Whether any delivery restrictions apply and which means of payment are accepted.

 

In addition, before the consumer is bound by the contract, you must give them the model cancellation form set out in the CCR, a copy of which is found at the bottom of the terms and conditions and the following information. The information must be provided in a clear, comprehensible manner that is appropriate to contracting via a website. It is best to provide this information along with the information mentioned above on the website before the customer places the order. However, you could provide it after the order. At the very latest it must be provided in the confirmation notice.

  1. Your business name and the geographical address, telephone and fax numbers and e-mail address of your business (included - but we recommend that this is also provided on the website and in the confirmation notice).

  2. The name and geographical address of any trader you are acting on behalf of (not included - provide on your website and in the confirmation notice).

  3. How long prices quoted remain valid (not included - provide on your website)

  4. Arrangements for payment (included but also include on website and in the confirmation notice)

  5. Arrangements for the delivery of goods or performance of services, including the timeframe. You must deliver goods within 30 days of the purchase if you do not agree a longer timeframe with the customer. You must state any delivery restrictions clearly (not included - provide on your website and the confirmation notice)

  6. The cost to the customer of communicating with you to conclude the contract when it will be more than the basic rate (not included - provide on your website and in the confirmation notice). You are not allowed to charge the consumer premium telephone rates for any helplines you operate in relation to the contract (e.g. for customer queries, cancellations and complaints).

  7. If the consumer has a right to cancel, the time limit, conditions and procedures involved in exercising the right to cancel. (Included but you should also consider providing this on your website and a link to that page in the confirmation notice.)

  8. If you are providing services and the consumer wants you to start performing the services before the end of the cancellation period, you need to ensure you have a request from them and their acknowledgement that they will lose the right to cancel once you have fully performed the services

  9. Where there is no right to cancel or that right could be lost, a statement to this effect and the circumstances in which the right can be lost (included but provide on your website and in the confirmation notice.)

  10. That the consumer will have to pay for services received if they ask you to start performing during the cancellation period and then cancel after you have started

  11. Your complaints handling policy (not included, other than a term that customer should contact you. Include on website and in the confirmation notice)

  12. Details of any out-of-court complaints redress. If you are required to do so by legislation or any rules of your trade association, you must tell the consumer the name and website address of the certified ADR body to submit the dispute to. See below. (ADR provisions are included but also provide on your website and in the confirmation notice)

  13. Details of any guarantees or after-sales service (not included - provide on your website and in the confirmation notice)

  14. Which, if any, codes of conduct apply to you, and where the consumer can get copies (not included - provide on your website and in the confirmation notice)

  17. The technical steps that the customer must follow to conclude the contract.

  18. A description of the technical means for customers to identify and correct input errors prior to placing an order.

  19. Whether or not a copy of the contract will be kept by you and if so, if it can be accessed by the customer.

  20. The languages offered for the conclusion of the contract.

  21. Details of any professional liability insurance guarantee you may have including the contact details of the insurer or guarantor and the territorial coverage of the insurance or guarantee.

  22. The main features of the service if these are not apparent from the context.

  23. Any dispute resolution procedures provided by the professional regulatory body or under the code of conduct that governs your business.
