YOUR RIGHTS TO END THE CONTRACT
7.1.
You can always 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, how we are performing and when you decide to end the Contract:
7.1.1.
If what you have bought is faulty or misdescribed 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 7.2 (Ending the Contract because of a fault with the Products) below;
7.1.2.
If you want to end the Contract because of something we have done or have told you we are going to do, see Clause 7.3 (Ending the Contract because of something we have done or are going to do) below;
7.1.3.
If you have just changed your mind about the product, see Clause 7.4 (Exercising your right to change your mind) below; and
7.1.4.
In all other cases (if we are not at fault and there is no right to change your mind), see Clause 7.5 below.
7.2.
Ending the Contract because of a fault with the products: The Consumer Rights Act 2015 says products must be as described, fit for purpose and of satisfactory quality. Therefore, during the expected life of your product, your legal rights entitle you to the following:
7.2.1.
up to thirty (30) days: if your item is faulty, then you can get a refund;
7.2.2.
up to six (6) months: if your faulty item can't be repaired or replaced, then you are entitled to a full refund, in most cases;
7.2.3.
up to six (6) years: if the item can be expected to last up to six years you may be entitled to a repair or replacement, or, if that doesn't work, some of your money back; and
7.2.4.
if the fault cannot be fixed within a reasonable time, or without causing you significant inconvenience, you can get some or all of your money back.
7.3.
Ending the Contract because of something we have done or are going to do: If you are ending the Contract for a reason set out at Clauses 7.3.1 to 7.3.3 (Ending the Contract because of something we have done or are going to do) 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:
7.3.1.
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;
7.3.2.
there is a risk that supply of the products may be significantly delayed because of events outside our control; and
7.3.3.
you have a legal right to end the Contract because of something we have done wrong.
7.4.
Exercising your right to change your mind (Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013): For most products bought online you have a legal right to change your mind within fourteen (14) days and receive a refund. You may be able to get a refund if you are within this cooling-off period, but this may be subject to deductions, and you will have to pay the costs of return of any products. These rights, under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, are explained in more detail in these terms.
7.4.1.
When you don't have the right to change your mind: You do not have a right to change your mind in respect of products:
7.4.1.1.
sealed for health protection or hygiene purposes, once these have been unsealed after you receive them;
7.4.1.2.
which you have damaged or modified (although you may have the right to a replacement or partial refund where you were trying to repair a faulty or defective product); or
7.4.1.3.
personalised, custom-made, bespoke and other special products unless they are faulty or defective on delivery.
7.4.2.
How long do I have to change my mind? You have fourteen (14) days after the day you (or someone you nominate) receives the products, unless your products are split into several deliveries over different days,
in which case you have until
fourteen (14) days after the day you (or someone you nominate) receives the last delivery to change your mind about the products.
7.5.
Ending the Contract where we are not at fault and there is no right to change your mind: If you do not have any other rights to end the Contract (see Clause 7.1 (You can always end your Contract with us) above), you can still contact us before it is completed and tell us you want to end it. If you do this the Contract will end immediately and we will refund any sums paid by you for products not provided but we may deduct from that refund (or, if you have not made an advance payment, charge you) reasonable compensation for the net costs we will incur as a result of your ending the Contract.
8.
HOW TO END THE CONTRACT (INCLUDING IF YOU HAVE CHANGED YOUR MIND)
8.1.
Tell us you want to end the Contract: To end the Contract with us, please let us know by either:
8.1.1.
Phone or email: Calling customer services on 01159 657 400 or emailing us at sales@horizonsc.co.uk. Please provide your name, main address, details of the order and, where available, your phone number and email address.

8.1.3.
By post: Printing off the PRINTABLE FORM and posting it to us at the address on the form. Or simply writing to us as that address, including the information required in the form.

Returning products after ending the Contract: If you end the Contract for any reason after products have been dispatched to you or you have received them, you must return them to us. You must either return the products:
8.2.1.
in person to where you collected them;
8.2.2.
by posting them back to us;
8.2.3.
by sending them to us by courier (if they are not suitable for posting); or
8.2.4.
by allowing us to collect them from you.
8.3.
Please call customer services on 01159 657 400 or email us at sales@horizonsc.co.uk for a return label or to arrange collection. If you are exercising your right to change your mind you must send off the products within fourteen (14) days of telling us you wish to end the Contract.
8.4.
When we will pay the costs of return: We will pay the costs of return:
8.4.1.
if the products are faulty or misdescribed;
8.4.2.
if you are ending the Contract because we have told you of an upcoming change to the product, an error in pricing or description, a 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 (including where you are exercising your right to change your mind) you must pay the costs of return.
8.5.
What we charge for collection: If you are responsible for the costs of return and we are collecting the product from you, we will charge you the direct cost to us of collection.
8.6.
How we will refund you: We will refund you the price you paid for the products including delivery costs, by the method you used for payment. However, we may make deductions from the price, as described below.
8.7.
Deductions from refunds: If you are exercising your right to change your mind:
8.7.1.
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. 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.
8.7.2.
The maximum refund for delivery costs will be the costs of delivery by the least expensive delivery method we offer. For example, if we offer delivery of a product within three to five (3-5) days at one cost but you choose to have the product delivered within twenty four (24) hours at a higher cost, then we will only refund what you would have paid for the cheaper delivery option.
8.8.
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 your refund will be made within fourteen (14) days from the day on which we receive the product back from you or, if earlier, the day on which you provide us with evidence that you have sent the product back to us.
9.
OUR RIGHTS TO END THE CONTRACT
9.1.
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 do not make any payment to us when it is due and you still do not make payment within ten (10) days of us reminding you that payment is due;
9.1.2.
you do not, within a reasonable time of us asking for it, provide us with information that is necessary for us to provide the products; or
9.1.3.
you do not, within a reasonable time, allow us to deliver the products to you or collect them from us.
9.2.
You must compensate us if you break the Contract: If we end the Contract in the situations set out in Clause 9.1 (We may end the Contract if you break it) above we will refund any money you have paid in advance for products we have not provided but we may deduct or charge you reasonable compensation for the net costs we will incur as a result of your breaking the Contract.
10.
PRICE AND PAYMENT
10.1.
Where to find the price for the product: The price of the product (which includes VAT) will be the price indicated on the order pages when you placed your order. We take all reasonable care to ensure that the price of product advised to you is correct. However please see Clause 10.3 (What happens if we get the price wrong) below for what happens if we discover an error in the price of the product you order.
10.2.
We will pass on changes in the rate of VAT: If the rate of VAT changes between your order date and the date we supply the product, we will adjust the rate of VAT that you pay, unless you have already paid for the product in full before the change in the rate of VAT takes effect.
10.3.
What happens if we get the price wrong: It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the products we sell may be incorrectly priced. 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, we will contact you for your instructions before we accept your order.
10.4.
When you must pay and how you must pay: We accept all major debit and credit cards typically used in the UK (with the exception of American Express). You must pay for the products and all applicable delivery charges before we dispatch the products. We will not charge your credit or debit card until we dispatch the products to you.
10.5.
We can charge interest if you pay late: If you do not make any payment to us by the due date we may charge interest to you on the overdue amount at the rate of 4% a year above the base lending rate of the Bank of England from time to time. This interest shall accrue on a daily basis from the due date until the date of actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgment. You must pay us interest together with any overdue amount.
10.6.
What to do if you think an invoice is wrong: If you think an invoice is wrong, please contact us promptly to let us know and we will not charge you interest until we have resolved the issue.
11.
MANUFACTURER’S GUARANTEE
11.1.
Some of the products we sell to you come with a manufacturer’s guarantee. For details of the applicable terms and conditions, please refer to the manufacturer’s guarantee provided with the product.
12.
OUR RESPONSIBILITY FOR LOSS OR DAMAGE SUFFERED BY YOU
12.1.
We are responsible to you for foreseeable loss and damage caused by us: If we fail to comply with these terms, we are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of us breaking the Contract or our failing to use reasonable care and skill, but we are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable. Loss or damage is foreseeable if either it is obvious that it will happen or if, at the time the Contract was made, both we and you knew it might happen, for example, if you discussed it with us during the sales process.
12.2.
We are not liable for business losses: Subject to Clause 14 (Terms which apply only to business customers), the products are supplied only for domestic and private use. If you use the products for any commercial, business or re-sale purpose we will have no liability to you for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity.

If a court finds part of this Contract illegal, the rest will continue in force: Each of the clauses of these terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining clauses will remain in full force and effect.
14.5.
Even if we delay in enforcing this Contract, we can still enforce it later: If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking this Contract, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date.
14.6.
