2. Basis of Contract
2.1 These terms, the order, are considered by us to set out the whole agreement between you and us for the sale of the goods. Please check that the details in the terms or on the order are complete and accurate before you commit yourself to the contract. Please ensure you read and understand these terms before confirming the order, because you will be bound by the terms once a contract comes into existence between us, in accordance with clause 2.4.
2.2 If any terms are inconsistent with the terms of the Order, the Order shall prevail.
2.3 The Order is an offer by you to enter into a binding contract, which we are free to accept or decline at our absolute discretion.
2.4 These terms shall be binding upon you and us when we notify you with a written acceptance of an Order (whether in hard copy or electronic form), at which point a contract shall come into existence between us.
2.5 We have the right to revise and amend these terms from time to time to reflect change in market conditions affecting our business, changes in technology, changes in payment methods, changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements and changes in the capabilities of any systems operated by us. You will be subject to the policies and terms in force at the time that a binding contract comes into existence in accordance with clause 2.4; unless any change to those policies or these terms is required by law or government or regulatory authority (in which case, it will apply to orders you have previously placed that we have not yet fulfilled).
3. Cancellation/Cooling Off and Order Amendments
3.1 Orders are automatically placed with our Warehouse and dispatched once the order is confirmed. We are therefore unable to cancel or amend orders once confirmed and the product will be delivered to you. This does not affect your right to return your order if you change your mind. Please refer to section 11 for details of how to return products that have been delivered.
3.2 Eurobatt Batteries cannot be held liable for misplaced orders or orders of the incorrect fitment, dimensions or terminal polarity. Whilst every effort is made to ensure you receive the right product, any application listings used are a guide only and cannot be guaranteed to be correct. Please check sizes and terminal layouts before confirming orders.
3.3 With the exception of ‘special’ orders, you may amend your order with us at any time before the packing date. Please contact the store where you placed your order for assistance. Order amendments notified to us after the scheduling date may delay the previously agreed delivery date and time. We will endeavour to amend your order in time for despatch as previously agreed; however should there be insufficient time we will make contact with you to re-arrange a later delivery date.
3.4 With the exception of ‘special’ orders, you may cancel your order with us at any time between the date we accept your order and 10 working days after the goods were received by you. Please see our returns policy in section 11. Please contact the store where you placed your order for assistance. If you cancel your order, you shall have no further claim against us under that contract.
3.5 If you exercise your rights to cancel or amend your order, any refunds due will be refunded within 30 days.

4.1 We warrant that on delivery the goods shall:
4.1.1 comply in all material respects with their description on the Order;
4.1.2 be of satisfactory quality;
4.1.3 be fit for purpose we say the Goods are fit for or for any reasonable purpose for which you use the Goods;

4.2 The warranties set out in this clause 4 are in addition to your legal rights in relation to Goods which are faulty or which do not otherwise conform with these Terms. Advice about your legal rights is available from your local Citizens’ Advice Bureau or Trading Standards office.
4.3 This warranty does not apply to any defect in the Goods arising from:
4.3.1 fair wear and tear, wilful damage, accident or negligence by you or any third party;
4.3.2 use of the Goods in a way that we do not recommend;
4.3.3 your failure to follow instruction (including instructions about use, cleaning and servicing of the Goods) which we have provided to you; or
4.3.4 any alteration or repair you carry out without prior written approval.
5. Price and Payment
5.1 The price of goods shall be the price in force at the time you confirm your order. We reserve the right to update our price list from time to time without providing specific notice to you.
5.2 Estimates for goods are given on the basis that a binding contract shall only come into existence in accordance with clause 2.4. The estimate is valid for 30 days from date of issue (unless otherwise stated); unless we notify you that we have withdrawn it during this period.
5.3 The price includes VAT (unless otherwise stated). VAT will be charged at the rate applying at the time of delivery.
5.4 The price of goods excludes delivery (unless otherwise stated). The cost of delivery shall be as specified in the order.

6. Delivery
6.1 The Goods will be delivered to your delivery address specified on the Order.
6.2 Delivery of the order shall be complete when we deliver the Goods to you.
6.3 If we are not able to deliver the whole of the Order at one time for any reason including operational reasons or shortage of stock, we will deliver the Order in instalments, or offer the nearest alternative. We will not charge you extra delivery costs for this. If you ask us to deliver the Order in installments, we may charge you extra delivery costs. Each installment shall constitute a separate contract. If we are late delivering an installment or one installment is faulty, that will not entitle you to cancel any other instalment.
6.4 We will take reasonable steps to meet the delivery estimate set out on the Order (or as otherwise agreed between us in writing). However, occasionally delivery may be affected by factors which we do not control and so cannot be guaranteed. We will let you know if we become aware of an unexpected delay and will arrange a new delivery with you. We shall have no liability for late delivery except where special deliveries have been arranged and a contract has been agreed by both parties in writing at the time of ordering.
6.5 Please advise us if access to the delivery address will be difficult for an 8ft 6in wide, 30ft long high-sided vehicle. Should any doubt exist, please contact Home Deliveries on 0800 999 8444 to make alternative arrangements.
6.6 Wherever possible, deliveries will be made using our own fleet of vehicles, but this is not guaranteed. Heavy goods deliveries may require your assistance to offload. Offers to assist the delivery are made at your own risk and should only be attempted if you are comfortable lifting the load. In the event you are unable to assist and the delivery is to heavy for the driver to safely deliver on their own, we will discuss with you and will either re-arrange the delivery for a later date where more assistance is available, or the delivery will be made to the nearest point of access that can be achieved by the driver. Where a carrier service is required i.e. overseas deliveries, small parcels or express deliveries, we will use a carefully selected carrier service for your order. The service standard for these carrier service orders is delivery to the nearest access point to the delivery address. If help is and assistance is needed to put the goods inside your property, we recommend contacting Home Deliveries for advice on 0800 999 8444.
6.7 We may decline to deliver the Goods if:
6.7.1 we believe that it would be unsafe, unlawful or unreasonably difficult to do so; or
6.7.2 the premises (or access to them) are unsuitable for the delivery vehicles we use.
6.8 If you fail to take delivery of the Order, then, except where this failure is caused by a failure by us to comply with these Terms:
6.8.1 we will store the Goods until delivery takes place and may charge you a reasonable sum to cover expenses; and
6.8.2 we shall have no liability for late delivery.
6.9 Once received, please check all goods within 48 hours. We reserve the right to refuse claims for damaged or missing goods made after this time unless a longer period of time has been previously agreed in writing.
7. Installation
7.1 There is a short video detailing how to remove and fit your battery safely on our website. If you do not have access to our website, please call our fitment team on 0800 999 8444 and one of our trained staff will talk you through the procedure.

10. Waiver and Variations
If we fail, at any time while these terms are in force, to insist that you perform any of your obligations under these Terms, or if we do not exercise any of the rights or remedies which we have under these Terms, that will not mean that we have waived such rights or remedies and will not mean that you do not have to comply with those obligations.
