3 HOW THE CONTRACT IS FORMED BETWEEN YOU AND US

3.1 Before placing an order, you will be asked if you accept these terms and conditions. You will not be able to place an order unless you accept these terms and conditions. Our acceptance of your order will take place when we email you to acknowledge and accept it ("Order Confirmation"), at which point a contract will come into existence between you and us ("Contract").

3.2 The Contract will relate only to those Products whose order we have confirmed in the Order Confirmation.

3.3 If we are unable to accept your order, we will inform you of this in writing and will not charge you for the Products. This might be because the Product is out of stock, because of unexpected limits on our resources which we could not reasonably plan for or because we have identified an error in the price or description of the Product.

3.4 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.

3.5 The Contract is made on the basis that neither you nor we have made or received (or will make or receive) any bribe or other improper payment to each other in relation to your order.

If it is possible we will let you know about any changes to the price of the Product, the timing of supply or anything else which would be necessary as a result of your requested change and ask you to confirm whether you wish to go ahead with the change. If we cannot make the change or the consequences of making the change are unacceptable to you, you may want to end the contract (see clause 10 - Your rights to end the contract).

6 OUR RIGHTS TO MAKE CHANGES

Should we need to make more significant changes to the Products or these terms, we will first notify you detailing the proposed changes and the reason for the change. You will be given the opportunity to accept the change or you may contact us to end the Contract before the changes take effect and receive a refund for any Products paid for but not received.

7 PROVIDING THE PRODUCTS

7.1 Delivery costs. The costs of delivery and delivery or postal service used will be as displayed to you on our Site.

7.2 When we will provide the Products. During the order process we will let you know when we will provide the Products to you. We will always aim to deliver them to you as soon as reasonably possible and in any event within 30 days after the day on which we accept your order.

7.3 We are not responsible for delays outside our control. If our supply of the Products is delayed by an event outside our control then we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and we will take steps to minimize the effect of the delay.

7.4 If you are not at home when Products are delivered. If no one is available at your address to take delivery and the Products cannot be posted through your letterbox, either the Products will be returned to us (in which case clause 7.5 shall apply) or a note may be left informing you of how to rearrange delivery or how to collect the Products from a local depot.

7.5 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 storage costs and any further delivery costs. If, despite our reasonable efforts, we are unable to contact you or re-arrange delivery we may end the contract and clause 10 will apply.

7.6 If we deliver goods late. If we miss the delivery deadline (as set out above or as otherwise agreed in writing with us) for any Products then you may treat the Contract as at an end straight away if any of the following apply:

7.6.1 we have refused to deliver the Products;

7.6.2 delivery within the agreed delivery deadline was essential (taking into account all the relevant circumstances); or

7.6.3 you told us before we accepted your order that delivery within the agreed delivery deadline was essential.

7.7 Setting a new deadline for delivery. If you do not wish to treat the Contract as at an end straight away, or do not have the right to do so under clause 7.6, you can give us a new deadline for delivery, which must be reasonable, and you can treat the Contract as at an end if we do not meet the new deadline.

7.8 Ending the Contract for late delivery. If you do choose to treat the Contract as at an end for late delivery under clause 7.6 or clause 7.7, you can cancel your order for any of the Products or reject Products that have been delivered. If you wish, you can reject or cancel the order for some of those Products (not all of them), unless splitting them up would significantly reduce their value. After that we will refund any sums you have paid to us for the cancelled Products and their delivery. If the Products have been delivered to you, you must post them back to us. We will pay the costs of postage. Please email us at service.na@haynes.com for a return label.

7.9 When you become responsible for the Products. Products will be your responsibility from the time we deliver the Product to the address you gave us.

7.10 When you own Products. You own a Product once we have received payment in full, including delivery charges.
