General Acceptance

The acceptance of an order and the contract of sale will only ever be finalised upon notification of dispatch, which will be confirmed in the format of an e-mail. The contract of sale will only then be deemed as legally binding.

The acceptance will be deemed, for all purposes, to have been effectively communicated to you at the precise time Fore24.co.uk forwards a dispatch e-mail. Fore24.co.uk is not liable for customers failing to receive this e-mail; therefore it is your responsibility to ensure that your e-mail address is correctly logged upon checkout.

Fore24.co.uk is entitled to take payment of an order, prior to the acceptance and the finalisation of a contract. The removal or the earmarking of funds does not indicate Our acceptance to commence contractual relations.

Occasionally technical errors do occur, and Fore24.co.uk reserves the right to cancel any transaction in which a Product has been sold at an incorrect value.

Acceptance of a Customised or Personalised Order

Any order that contains personalised, customised, custom fit or any other type of Product where an adjustment has been made, must be placed online. As all orders are placed online it is your responsibility to ensure that your design/modification is correct prior to creation, and Fore24.co.uk cannot be responsible for any error that you may have made. Only text and graphics maybe used to customise Product(s), not symbols.

Fore24.co.uk reserves the right to alter, adjust, modify, resize, crop or re-colour any image or text submitted to personalise an item. The modification will only ever be to improve the quality of the Product.

What warranty is there on Product(s)?

Unless otherwise stated on the Product Description page, all Our new Product(s) come with a 12 month warranty and Ex-Demo with a 6 month warranty.

What does the warranty cover?

Our warranties provide full cover against mechanical breakdown through normal use. This means that if your item develops a fault during the warranty period, We'll arrange for it to be repaired free of charge, including all parts and labour. Your warranty is NOT transferable with ownership, so if you give or sell the item to someone during the warranty period, it will not be covered.

What's not included?

There are some specific exclusions from Our warranties, as follows:

• Repair costs caused by external factors such as computer viruses, faulty software, fire, theft, and weather (including lightning damage
• Accidental damage, for example if your item has been dropped. You may find that this type of damage is covered by your household contents insurance policy
• Image ghosting or screen burn on items with display screens
• Pixel spots. These are tiny dark or bright spots that may become visible on a Product display screen
• Consumables such as batteries, inner tubes, bulbs, fuses, friction parts etc
• If the Product has been used commercially or for business purposes (with the exception of market stall gazebos and A-Frame sign stands)
• Data loss
• Cosmetic damage such as cabinet trim, scratches, dents, corrosion or colour where the function of the Product is unaffected
• Any loss suffered as a result of not being able to use the Product, or any loss over and above the purchase price of the original item
• Servicing, inspecting or cleaning of the Product; and failure to follow the manufacturer's instructions and/or installation guidelines
• Deliberate damage or neglect of the Product
• Please note that Our warranties provide services for Product(s) bought and used in the location, to where they were originally shipped by us.

How do I make a warranty claim?

First of all, We are sorry you are having to read this section! We'll do everything We can to get your Product back in action as soon as possible.

Please send Us an email (help@fore24.co.uk ), and be sure to include your name, order number, and a description of the fault.

In most cases, We will also require a photograph of the fault, which depending on the Product, may avoid having to do a physical collection and inspection. Please include that on your original email to expedite the process.

We'll then assess the fault and advise of the best course of action and options available to remedy the fault under the terms of the warranty.

Packaging

Please note that the cost of Product(s) supplied includes the original Product packaging. Please ensure you keep all original external and internal Product packaging for warranty purposes.

Items requiring return under warranty will need to be disassembled as originally supplied and adequately packaged and protected for onward transit in the original or suitable replacement packaging. If not suitably packaged the couriers may refuse the collection. We are also unable to accept any liability for loss or damage to the item being returned due to inadequate packaging.

Should you not have kept the original packaging and are not able to source your own suitable packaging, We are able to supply at a small additional cost.

Collections

Where a Product is required to be collected for inspection/repair/replacement under warranty We will make the necessary arrangements with you by email. Collections can be arranged at an address of your choice on week days only (Mon-Fri) on an all-day service at an unspecified time between 9am and 6pm. Collections arrangement requests will usually require at least 2 working days’ notice in advance of the date collection is required.

Fore24.co.uk reserves the right to cancel any order, for any reason, at Our own discretion without notice.

You may cancel an order up to 14 days after receiving the Product(s), so long as you still possess proof of purchase. If an order is cancelled prior to dispatch, no administration fees are usually incurred, however you should contact Our help department as a matter of urgency. Unfortunately, We are unable to guarantee cancellation until you have received a specific confirmation e-mail of such from Our customer service department. Any automated email received to acknowledge receipt of your request is not a confirmation of cancellation.

Please e-mail: help@fore24.co.uk

If an order is dispatched prior to cancellation being specifically confirmed by Us, you are liable for any return postage. Product(s) that are being returned through a third-party courier, of your choice, must be fully insured and possess a tracking repor, as We cannot be liable for damaged or lost parcels. We can arrange a return service; however, this does incur a weight and size dependant charge* per parcel and the Product(s) must be fully protected for transit. If you have disposed of the original packaging you are expected to find alternative and equivalent wrapping, of which Fore24.co.uk is not responsible to provide, but can do so at a small cost.

• Currently between £5 to £50 dependant on size and weight

If the returning item(s) are insufficiently protected, We and the couriers have the right to refuse any returned item. Any parcel(s) that are refused by Fore24.co.uk will be returned to your order delivery address, and you will be liable to pay for the return carriage.

Product Reviews

We publish a selection of reviews on Our Product(s). These Product reviews are there to help customers make good buying decisions. However, We do not publish all reviews, and reserve the right not to publish any given review without reason.

Common reasons for not publishing a review include:

• •Inappropriate language such as swear words
• •Rating the Product based on shipping or customer service issues. We want to encourage reviews on the Product(s) themselves, and whilst We agree it’s an important part of a buying decision, since different Product(s) will ship on different couriers, it isn’t a consistent criteria. Equally if you’ve had a bad customer service experience, this is specific to your particular order, rather than the Product itself.
• •Bad spelling/grammar – if We can’t easily understand the gist of what you are saying, We may not publish the review
• •Mentions of competitors
• •Mentions of a different Product to the one you are reviewing – in most cases this confuses the review when taken out of context, although a like-for-like comparison is acceptable
• •Specific price information – Our prices are constantly changing, of course mention whether it is good value or not, but not a specific price
• •Product not received or Product ordered incorrectly – if you’ve not received the Product you meant to buy, the review you leave can’t be a fair assessment of it
• •Reviews that don’t add anything – the reviews are here to help customers make good buying decisions. If a review of a green shirt is “this shirt is green”, that doesn’t add help, whereas “a very bright green” adds more information

Modification of Terms and Conditions 

Fore24.co.uk reserves the right to modify Our Terms and Conditions. The modifications will be effective on the date that We post the modified Terms and Conditions on Our Fore24.co.uk Websites.
