| 1.3 |
By way of clarification, an acknowledgement of your order will be sent to you via e-mail when you place your order, but acceptance of your offer to buy the goods will not take place until after your payment is taken and you receive your acceptance e-mail.

The contract is subject to your right of cancellation (see below). |

This warranty does not affect your statutory rights as a consumer. Where goods are provided with a warranty period greater than 12 months, the first 12 months of the warranty covers all parts and labour costs, where as any subsequent period of the warranty cover only relates to labour costs only. e.g. If a product is sold with a 3 year warranty, the first 12 months covers parts and labour, and the next 24 months covers labour costs only, unless otherwise stated. A 6 year warranty covers 12 months parts and 72 months labour from the date of invoice.

| 8.3 |
If the goods supplied to you are damaged on delivery, you should notify the Supplier in writing via email or phone withing 48 hours of delivery. Failure to do so will presume the goods were delivered in a perfect state. Risk and Title of the goods is with the buyer at point of delivery. |
| 8.4 |

| 8.5 |
All goods supplied by the Supplier are provided with a return to Base Warranty, unless otherwise stated, from the date of invoice. Warranty repairs can be either shipped using a courier to the supplier at a similar cost to the original shipping cost or delivered by hand. |
