This might be because the product is out of stock, because of unexpected limits on our resources that we could not reasonably plan for because a credit reference we have obtained for you does not meet our minimum requirements, 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.

Your product may vary slightly from those images.
  2. Product packaging may vary. The packaging of the product may vary from that shown in images on our website.

  1. You can always end your contract with us. Your rights when you end the contract will depend on what you have bought, whether there is anything wrong with it, and whether you are a consumer or business customer:
    1. If what you have bought is faulty or misdescribed you may have a legal right to end the contract (or to get the product repaired or replaced or to get some or all of your money back), see clause 15 if you are a consumer and clause 17 if you are a business;
    2. If you want to end the contract because of something we have done or have told you we are going to do, see clause 11.2;
    3. If you are a consumer and have just changed your mind about the product, see clause 11.3. You may be able to get a refund if you are within the cooling-off period, but this may be subject to deductions and you will have to pay the costs of return of any goods;
    4. In all other cases (if we are not at fault and you are not a consumer exercising your right to change your mind), see clause 11.5.
  2. Ending the contract because of something we have done or are going to do. If you are ending a contract for a reason set out at (a) to (e) below the contract will end immediately and we will refund you in full for any products which have not been provided and you may also be entitled to compensation. The reasons are:
    1. we have told you about an upcoming change to the product or these terms which you do not agree to;
    2. we have told you about an error in the price or description of the product you have ordered and you do not wish to proceed;
    3. there is a risk that the supply of the products may be significantly delayed because of events outside our control;
    4. we have suspended supply of the products for technical reasons, or notify you we are going to suspend them for technical reasons, in each case for a period of more than 30 days; or
    5. you have a legal right to end the contract because of something we have done wrong.
  3. Exercising your right to change your mind if you are a consumer (Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013). If you are a consumer then for most products bought online you have a legal right to change your mind within 14 days and receive a refund under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013.
  4. How long do consumers have to change their minds? If you are a consumer you have 14 days after the day you (or someone you nominate) receives the goods, unless:
    1. Your goods are split into several deliveries over different days. In this case, you have until 14 days after the day you (or someone you nominate) receives the last delivery.
    2. Your goods are for regular delivery over a set period. In this case, you have until 14 days after the day you (or someone you nominate) receives the first delivery of the goods.
  5. Ending the contract where we are not at fault and there is no right to change your mind. Even if we are not at fault and you are not a consumer who has a right to change their mind (see clause 11.1), you can still end the contract before it is completed, but you may have to pay us compensation. A contract for goods is completed when the product is delivered. If you want to end a contract before it is completed where we are not at fault and you are not a consumer who has changed their mind, just contact us to let us know. The contract will end immediately and we will refund any sums paid by you for products not provided but we may deduct from that refund (or, if you have not made an advance payment, charge you) reasonable compensation for the net costs we will incur as a result of your ending the contract.

  1. Tell us you want to end the contract. To end the contract with us, please let us know by doing one of the following:
    1. Phone or email. Call customer services on 01752 692 769 or email us at enquiries@cmostores.com. Please provide your name, home address, order number or details of the order and, where available, your phone number and email address.
    2. By post. Write to us at Burrington Way, Burrington Business Park, Plymouth, PL5 3LX, including details of what you bought, when you ordered or received it and your name and address.

You must either post them back to us at the address above in clause 12.1. Please call or email customer for a return label or to arrange collection. If you are a consumer exercising your right to change your mind you must send off the goods or arrange collection within 14 days of telling us you wish to end the contract.
  3. When we will pay the costs of return. We will pay the costs of return:
      1. if the products are faulty or misdescribed;
      2. if you are ending the contract because we have told you of an upcoming change to the product or these Terms, an error in pricing or description, a delay in delivery due to events outside our control or because you have a legal right to do so as a result of something we have done wrong; or

    In all other circumstances, you must pay the costs of return.

  4. What we charge for collection. If you are responsible for the costs of return and we are collecting the product from you, we will charge you the direct cost to us of collection
  5. How we will refund you. If you are entitled to a refund under these Terms we will refund you the price you paid for the products including delivery costs, by the method you used for payment. However, we may make deductions from the price, as described below.
  6. When we may make a deduction from refunds if you are a consumer exercising your right to change your mind. If you are exercising your right to change your mind:
    1. We may reduce your refund of the price (excluding delivery costs) to reflect any reduction in the value of the goods if this has been caused by your handling them in a way that would not be permitted in accordance with the manufacturer’s instruction. 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. The maximum refund for delivery costs will be the costs of delivery by the least expensive delivery method we offer. 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.
  7. When your refund will be made. We will make any refunds due to you as soon as possible. If you are a consumer exercising your right to change your mind and have paid via Sage Pay, PayPal or debit/credit card then your refund will be made within 14 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 you have sent the product back to us. Where you have paid by bank transfer the refund will be paid within 14 days of receipt of bank details to enable us to verify and enact the refund. For other types of refunds, for example, goodwill, these may fall outside of the 14-day refund terms depending on the nature of the refund and any additional verification work required. For information about how to return a product to us, see clause 12.2.

  1. We may end the contract if you break it. We may end the contract for a product at any time by writing to you if:
    1. you do not make any payment to us when it is due and you still do not make payment within 14 days of us reminding you that payment is due;

    3. you do not, within a reasonable time, allow us to deliver the products to you;
  2. You must compensate us if you break the contract.

    1. Up to 30 days: if your goods are faulty, then you can get an immediate refund.
    2. Up to six months: if your goods can’t be repaired or replaced, then you’re entitled to a full refund, in most cases.
    3. Up to six years: if your goods do not last a reasonable length of time you may be entitled to some money back.See also clause 11.3.
  3. Your obligation to return rejected products. If you wish to exercise your legal rights to reject products you must either post them back to us or (if they are not suitable for posting) allow us to collect them from you. We will pay the costs of postage or collection.

  1. If you are a business customer we warrant that upon delivery any products which are goods shall:
    1. conform with their description;
    2. be free from material defects in design, material and workmanship;
    3. be of satisfactory quality (within the meaning of the Sale of Goods Act 1979); and
    4. be fit for any purpose held out by us.
  2. Subject to clause 17.3, if:
    1. you give us notice in writing within a reasonable time of discovery that a product does not comply with the warranty set out in clause 17.1;
    2. we are given a reasonable opportunity of examining such product; and
    3. you return such product to us at our cost, we shall, at our option, repair or replace the defective product, or refund the price of the defective product in full.
  3. We will not be liable for a product’s failure to comply with the warranty in clause 17.1 if:
    1. you make any further use of such product after giving a notice in accordance with clause 17.2(a);
    2. the defect arises because you failed to follow our oral or written instructions as to the storage, installation, commissioning, use or maintenance of the product or (if there are none) good trade practice;
    3. the defect arises as a result of us following any drawing, design or specification supplied by the Customer;
    4. you alter or repair the product without our written consent; or
    5. the defect arises as a result of fair wear and tear, wilful damage, negligence, or abnormal working conditions.
  4. Except as provided in this clause 17, we shall have no liability to you in respect of a product’s failure to comply with the warranty set out in clause 17.1.
  5. These Terms shall apply to any repaired or replacement products supplied by us under clause 17.2.

  1. Where to find the price for the product. The price of the product (which includes VAT) will be the price indicated on the order pages when you placed your order. We take all reasonable care to ensure that the price of the product advised to you is correct. However please see clause 18.3 for what happens if we discover an error in the price of the product you order.
  2. We will pass on changes in the rate of VAT. If the rate of VAT changes between your order date and the date we supply the product, we will adjust the rate of VAT that you pay, unless you have already paid for the product in full before the change in the rate of VAT takes effect.
  3. What happens if we got 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.
  4. When you must pay and how you must pay. We accept payment with Sage Pay, PayPal and most credit/debit cards. You must pay for the products before we dispatch them. Where you pay via Sage Pay and PayPal we are advised automatically of payment and we can then start processing your order immediately. However, if you are paying by bank transfer please note that we are not notified automatically and as a result, these payments will be marked as received at the end of the day when paid. Your order will then be processed the following day but please note that this could impact your order specifically where you require next day delivery and therefore we would advise paying a day earlier or via Sage Pay, PayPal or debit/credit card.
  5. Finance. If you opt to pay for an order with finance available through PayPal credit, you will apply for credit directly with PayPal. Please ensure you are familiar with the terms of the agreement between you and PayPal as this will form a separate agreement to these Terms.
  6. Our right of set-off if you are a business customer. If you are a business customer you must pay all amounts due to us under these Terms in full without any set-off, counterclaim, deduction or withholding (other than any deduction or withholding of tax as required by law).
  7. 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. You will not have to pay any interest until the dispute is resolved. Once the dispute is resolved we will charge you interest on correctly invoiced sums from the original due date.

  1. We are responsible to you for foreseeable loss and damage caused by us. If we fail to comply with these Terms, we are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breaking this contract, but we are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable. 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.
  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; and for defective products under the Consumer Protection Act 1987
  3. We are not liable for business losses. If you are a consumer we only supply the products for you for domestic and private use. If you use the products for any commercial, business or re-sale purpose our liability to you will be limited as set out in clause 20.

  1. Nothing in these Terms shall limit or exclude our liability for:
    1. death or personal injury caused by our negligence, or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors (as applicable);
    2. fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation;
    3. breach of the terms implied by section 12 of the Sale of Goods Act 1979 or section 2 of the Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982; or
    4. defective products under the Consumer Protection Act 1987.
  2. Except to the extent expressly stated in clause 17.1 all terms implied by sections 13 to 15 of the Sale of Goods Act 1979 and sections 3 to 5 of the Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982 are excluded.
  3. Subject to clause 20.1:
    1. we shall not be liable to you, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty, or otherwise, for any loss of profit, or any indirect or consequential loss arising under or in connection with any contract between us; and
    2. our total liability to you for all other losses arising under or in connection with any contract between us, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty, or otherwise, shall be limited to one hundred per cent (100%) of the total sums paid by you for products under such contract.

  1. No third party rights. This contract is between you and us. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms.
  2. 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.
  3. 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. For example, if you miss a payment and we do not chase you but we continue to provide the products, we can still require you to make the payment at a later date.
  4. Which laws apply to this contract and where you may bring legal proceedings if you are a consumer. 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.
  5. Which laws apply to this contract and where you may bring legal proceedings if you are a business. If you are a business, any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with a contract between us 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 and the courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any such dispute or claim.
