You may cancel either in respect of all the affected Products or just the Products you have yet to receive. If you opt to cancel, you will have to return (at our cost) any relevant Products you have already received and we will arrange a full refund of the price you have paid, including any delivery charges.
9. Your Right of Return and Refund
   Clause 9.1 only applies if you are a consumer
   1. If you are a consumer, you have a legal right to cancel a Contract under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 during the period set out below in clause 9.2. This means that during the relevant period if you change your mind or decide for any other reason that you do not want to receive or keep a Product, you can notify us of your decision to cancel the Contract and receive a refund. Advice about your legal right to cancel the Contract is available from your local Citizens’ Advice Bureau or Trading Standards office. Returns are accepted but will be at the managers discretion if not due to a product fault. A Re stocking of 50% of the item is likely to be charged plus a £30.00 + vat collection and returns fee.
   2. Your legal right to cancel a Contract starts from the date of the Dispatch Confirmation (the date on which we e-mail you to confirm our acceptance of your order), which is when the Contract between us is formed. Your deadline for cancelling the Contract then depends on what you have ordered and how it is delivered, as set out in the table below:

Your Contract	End of the cancellation period
Your Contract is for a single Product (which is not delivered in instalments on separate days).	The end date is the end of 30 days after the day on which you receive the Product. Example: if we provide you with a Dispatch Confirmation on 1 January and you receive the Product on 10 January you may cancel at any time between 10 January and the end of the day on 9 February.
Your Contract is for multiple Products which are delivered on separate days.	The end date is 30 days after the day on which you receive the last of the separate Products ordered. Example: if we provide you with a Dispatch Confirmation on 1 January and you receive the first instalment of your Product or the first of your separate Products on 10 January and the last instalment or last separate Product on 15 January you may cancel in respect of all instalments and any or all of the separate Products at any time between 10 January and the end of the day on 14 February.

1. 1. To cancel a Contract, you just need to let us know that you have decided to cancel. The easiest way to do this is to complete the returns form enclosed with your order and return the goods and form to us following the instructions on the form.

You can also e-mail us at info@doortech.co.uk or contact our Customer Services team by telephone on 01202 862483/4. If you are e-mailing us please include details of your order to help us to identify it. If you send us your cancellation notice by e-mail, then your cancellation is effective from the date you send us the e-mail. For example, you will have given us notice in time as long as you e-mail us before midnight on the last day of the cancellation period.

1. 1. If you cancel your Contract we will:
      1. refund you the price you paid for the Products. However, please note we are permitted by law to reduce your refund to reflect any reduction in the value of the goods, if this has been caused by your handling them. If we refund you the price paid before we are able to inspect the goods and later discover you have handled them in an unacceptable way, you must pay us an appropriate amount;
      2. refund any delivery costs you have paid, although, as permitted by law, the maximum refund will be the costs of delivery by the least expensive delivery method we offer (provided that this is a common and generally acceptable method). For example, if we offer delivery of a Product within 3-5 days at one cost but you choose to have the Product delivered within 24 hours at a higher cost, then we will only refund what you would have paid for the cheaper delivery option;
      3. make any refunds due to you as soon as possible and in any event within the deadlines indicated below:
         1. if you have received the Product and we have not offered to collect it from you: 14 days after 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. For information about how to return a Product to us, see clause 9.7.
         2. if you have not received the Product or you have received it and we have offered to collect it from you: 14 days after you inform us of your decision to cancel the Contract.
   2. If you have returned the Products to us under this clause 9 because they are faulty or mis-described, we will refund the price of the Products in full, together with any applicable delivery charges, and any reasonable costs you incur in returning the item to us.
   3. We will refund you on the credit card or debit card used by you to pay.
   4. If a Product has already been delivered or custom made to you before you decide to cancel your Contract:
      1. then you must return it to us without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days after the day on which you let us know that you wish to cancel the Contract (Some orders such as Commercial PVC Curtains, Roller shutters and security grilles are custom made to order when acceptance is received from you therefor they cannot be refunded, returned or cancelled so payment for the materials at least will still be due). Please follow the instructions on the returns form enclosed with your goods. If we have offered to collect the Product from you as advised by our customer services team, we will collect the Products from the address to which they were delivered. We will contact you to arrange a suitable time for collection;
      2. unless the Product is faulty or not as described (in this case, see clause 9.5), you will be responsible for the cost of returning the Products to us. If the Product is one which cannot be returned by post, we estimate that if you use the carrier which delivered the Product to you, these costs should not exceed the sums we charged you for delivery. If we have offered to collect the Product from you, we will charge you the direct cost to us of collection.
   5. If you are a consumer, we are under a legal duty to supply Products that are in conformity with this Contract. As a consumer, you have legal rights in relation to Products that are faulty or not as described. These legal rights are not affected by your right of return and refund in this clause 9 or anything else in these Terms. Advice about your legal rights is available from your local Citizens’ Advice Bureau or Trading Standards office.
2. Delivery
   1. If applicable we will contact you with an estimated delivery date, which will be within 1-2 days after the date of the Dispatch Confirmation (the date on which we e-mail you to confirm our acceptance of your order). Occasionally our delivery to you may be affected by an Event Outside Our Control. See clause 17 for our responsibilities when this happens.
   2. Delivery of an Order shall be completed when we deliver the Products to the address you gave us and the Products will be your responsibility from that time.
   3. You own the Products once we have received payment in full, including all applicable delivery charges.

This clause 10.4 only applies if you are a consumer.

1. 1. If we miss the delivery deadline for any Products then you may cancel your Order straight away if any of the following apply:
      1. we have refused to deliver the Products;
      2. delivery within the delivery deadline was essential (taking into account all the relevant circumstances); or
      3. you told us before we accepted your order that delivery within the delivery deadline was essential.
   2. If you do not wish to cancel your order straight away, or do not have the right to do so under clause 10.4, you can give us a new deadline for delivery, which must be reasonable, and you can cancel your Order if we do not meet the new deadline.
   3. If you do choose to cancel your Order for late delivery under clause 10.5 or clause 10.6, you can do so for just some of the Products or all of them, unless splitting them up would significantly reduce their value. If the Products have been delivered to you, you will have to return them to us or allow us to collect them, and we will pay the costs of this. After you cancel your Order we will refund any sums you have paid to us for the cancelled Products and their delivery.
2. No International Delivery
   1. Unfortunately, we do not delivery to addresses outside the UK from this website. For international delivery please call our customer services team on 01202 862 483/4.
   2. You may place an order for Products from outside the UK, but this order must be for delivery to an address in the UK.
3. Prices of Products and Delivery Charges
   1. The prices of the Products will be as quoted on our site at the time you submit your order. We take all reasonable care to ensure that the prices of Products are correct at the time when the relevant information was entered onto the system. However please see clause 12.5 for what happens if we discover an error in the price of Product(s) you ordered.
   2. Prices for our Products may change from time to time, but changes will not affect any order you have already placed.
   3. The price of a Product excludes VAT (where applicable), the applicable current rate chargeable in the UK will be applied at checkout. However, if the rate of VAT changes between the date of your order and the date of delivery, we will adjust the VAT you pay, unless you have already paid for the Products in full before the change in VAT takes effect.
   4. The price of a Product does not include delivery charges. Our delivery charges are as advised to you during the check-out process, before you confirm your order. To check relevant delivery charges, please refer to our Delivery Charges page.
   5. It is always possible that, despite our reasonable efforts, some of the Products on our site may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices as part of our dispatch procedures so that:
      1. where the Product’s correct price is less than the price stated on our site, we will charge the lower amount when dispatching the Products to you; and
      2. if the Product’s correct price is higher than the price stated on our site, we will contact you in writing as soon as possible to inform you of this error and we will give you the option of continuing to purchase the Product at the correct price or cancelling your order. We will not process your order until we have your instructions. If we are unable to contact you using the contact details you provided during the order process, we will treat the order as cancelled and notify you in writing. However, if we mistakenly accept and process your order where a pricing error is obvious and unmistakable and could reasonably have been recognised by you as a mispricing, we may cancel supply of the Product and refund you any sums you have paid.
4. How to Pay
   1. You can only pay for Products using a debit card or credit card. We accept the following cards: Visa Credit, Visa Debit, Mastercard Credit, Mastercard Debit, Visa Electron, Maestro and JCB.
   2. Payment for the Products and all applicable delivery charges is in advance.
5. Our Warranty for the Products
   1. We provide a warranty that on delivery and for a period of 12 months from delivery, the Products shall be free from material defects. However, this warranty does not apply in the circumstances described in clause 14.2.
   2. The warranty in clause 14.1 does not apply to any defect in the Products arising from:
      1. fair wear and tear;
      2. wilful damage, abnormal storage or working conditions, accident, negligence by you or by any third party;
      3. if you fail to operate or use the Products in accordance with the user instructions;
      4. any alteration or repair by you or by a third party who is not one of our authorised repairers; or
      5. any specification provided by you.
   3. If you are a consumer, this warranty is in addition to, and does not affect, your legal rights in relation to Products that are faulty or not as described. Advice about your legal rights is available from your local Citizens’ Advice Bureau or Trading Standards office.

   5. Except as expressly stated in these Terms, we do not give any representation, warranties or undertakings in relation to the Products. Any representation, condition or warranty which might be implied or incorporated into these Terms by statute, common law or otherwise is excluded to the fullest extent permitted by law.

    4. Each of the paragraphs of these Terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful or unenforceable, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.
    5. If we fail to insist that you perform any of your obligations under these Terms, or if we do not enforce our rights against you, or if we delay in doing so, that will not mean that we have waived our rights against you and will not mean that you do not have to comply with those obligations. If we do waive a default by you, we will only do so in writing, and that will not mean that we will automatically waive any later default by you.
    6. If you are a consumer, please note that these Terms are governed by English law. This means a Contract for the purchase of Products through our site and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with it will be governed by English law.

However, if you are a resident of Northern Ireland you may also bring proceedings in Northern Ireland, and if you are a resident of Scotland, you may also bring proceedings in Scotland.
    7. If you are a business, a Contract and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with it or its subject matter or formation (including non-contractual disputes or claims) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of England and Wales.
