3. OUR CONTRACT WITH YOU
3.1 Applicable terms. Please see eBay’s help pages for information on how to place an order. All orders that you place through the eBay Shop will be subject to acceptance in accordance with these terms and conditions as well as any applicable eBay terms and conditions.
3.2 Order Acknowledgement. The eBay Checkout 'confirmation' page sets out the final details of your order. Following checkout, we will send you an order acknowledgement email detailing the products you have ordered. Please note that this email is not an order confirmation or order acceptance from Freesat.
3.3 How we will accept your order. Our acceptance of your order will take place when we email you to accept it, at which point a contract will come into existence between you and us.
3.4 If we cannot accept your order. If we are unable to accept your order, we will inform you of this and will not charge you for the product (or will refund you if you have been charged). This might be because the product is out of stock, because of unexpected limits on our resources which we could not reasonably plan for, because your payment method is not accepted by the payment services provider, because we have identified an error in the price or description of the product or because we are unable to meet a delivery deadline you have specified.
3.5 Your order number. We will assign an order number to your order and tell you what it is when we accept your order. It will help us if you can tell us the order number whenever you contact us about your order.
3.6 We only sell to over 18s. We only accept orders from persons who are 18 years of age or older.
3.7 Consumer use. The products sold through the eBay Shop are supplied for private domestic and consumer use only. Traders should contact Freesat directly at retail.help@freesat.co.uk for supply terms.
4. OUR PRODUCTS
4.1 Products may vary. The images of the products in the eBay Shop are for illustrative purposes only. Your product may vary slightly from those images. The packaging of the product may vary from that shown in images on our website. Any logo or other reference to a TV channel or on-demand service in the eBay Shop listing or on product packaging is an example only of what may be available at the time that the product page or packaging was created. It does not guarantee the availability of such TV channel or on-demand services content via the Freesat service for any period of time.
5. OUR RIGHTS TO MAKE CHANGES
5.1 Minor changes to the products. We may change the product: (a) to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements; and (b) to implement software and service updates (including to make changes to channels and on demand services) and minor technical adjustments and improvements, for example to address a security threat. These changes will not affect your overall use of the product and may be further described in any end user licence agreement applicable to the product.
6. PRICE AND PAYMENT
6.1 Where to find the price for the product. The price of the product in Pound Sterling (which includes VAT) will be the price indicated on the eBay Shop order page when you placed your order. The price excludes delivery unless otherwise stated. We take all reasonable care to ensure that the price of the product advised to you is correct.
6.2 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 to you, we will contact you for your instructions before we accept your order. However, 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, refund you any sums you have paid and require the return of any goods provided to you.
6.3 When you must pay and how you must pay. eBay Shop purchases must be made using payment methods offered by eBay, such as PayPal, credit or debit card, Apple Pay and Google Pay. Payment will be taken once your payment details have been checked and before we dispatch the products. Further terms and conditions relating to your PayPal account and for payments made via PayPal can be found at www.paypal.co.uk. (Freesat is not responsible for the content of external websites.)
6.4 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.

Provided we do this we will not be liable for delays caused by the event, but if there is a risk of substantial delay you may contact us to end the contract and receive a refund for any products you have paid for but not received. You can contact us via https://www.freesat.co.uk/help and use Chat or the Support form, email us on customerteam@freesat.co.uk or by telephoning our Customer Team on 0345 313 0051.

7.6 If you do not re-arrange delivery. If, after a failed delivery to you, you do not re-arrange delivery or collect the products from a delivery depot we will contact you for further instructions and may charge you for 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 11 will apply.
7.7 When you become responsible for the goods. A product (including risk of loss and damage to such product) will be your responsibility from the time we deliver the product to the address you gave us, or you collect it from a delivery depot.
When you own goods. You own a product once we have received payment in full.

9.6 Deductions from refunds if you are exercising your right to change your mind. If you are exercising your right to change your mind, we may reduce your refund of the price to reflect any reduction in the value of the goods caused by your handling them in a way which would not be permitted in a shop, or by damage in transit where you failed to package the product appropriately.
9.7 When your refund will be made. We will make any refunds due to you as soon as possible and in any event within 2 working 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 the product has been delivered back to us.

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 do not exclude or limit in any way our liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so. This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors; for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; for breach of your legal rights in relation to the products (including the right to receive products which are: as described and match information we provided to you and any sample or model seen or examined by you; of satisfactory quality; fit for any particular purpose made known to us; supplied with reasonable skill and care and, where installed by us, correctly installed); and for defective products under the Consumer Protection Act 1987.

13. OTHER IMPORTANT TERMS
13.1 We may transfer this agreement to someone else. We may transfer our rights and obligations under these terms to another organisation. We will always tell you in writing if this happens and we will ensure that the transfer will not affect your rights under the contract.
13.2 You need our consent to transfer your rights to someone else (except that you may be able to transfer our manufacturer’s warranty in accordance with its terms). You may only transfer your rights or your obligations under these terms to another person if we agree to this in
writing.
13.3 Nobody else has any rights under this contract. This contract is between you and us. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms.
13.4 If a court finds part of this contract illegal, the rest will continue in force. Each of the paragraphs of these terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.
13.5 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.
13.6 Amendments to these terms. We may amend these terms from time to time and so you should review these terms prior to each order you make on the eBay Shop.
13.7Dispute resolution. We hope that all our customers have an enjoyable experience when shopping with us through all our channels. However, we recognise that sometimes things can go wrong and that may mean a customer will want to complain. We will always endeavour to resolve any dispute with you if you contact our customer team.
13.8 Which laws apply to this contract and where you may bring legal proceedings. These terms are governed by English law and you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the products in the English courts. If you live in Scotland, you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the products in either the Scottish or the English courts. If you live in Northern Ireland, you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the products in either the Northern Irish or the English courts.
