3.2 Risk of loss and damage of products passes to you on the date when the products are delivered to you or are left with a person or place nominated by you.
4. Payment
4.1 We take payment from your card or PayPal account at the time we receive your order, once we have checked your card or PayPal details and stock availability. Goods are subject to availability. In the event that we are unable to supply the goods, we will inform you of this as soon as possible. A full refund will be given where you have already paid for the goods. Additional Terms and Conditions for payments made by PayPal can be found at www.paypal.co.uk. (Steady Comps Ltd. is not responsible for the content of external websites.)
4.2 To ensure that your credit, debit, charge card or PayPal account is not being used without your consent, we will validate name, address and other personal information supplied by you during the order process against appropriate third party databases. By accepting these terms and conditions you consent to such checks being made. In performing these checks personal information provided by you may be disclosed to a registered Credit Reference Agency which may keep a record of that information. You can rest assured that this is done only to confirm your identity, that a credit check is not performed and that your credit rating will be unaffected. All information provided by you will be treated securely and strictly in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998.
4.3 Online price errors. If we discover an error in the price of goods ordered or reserved, we will inform you as soon as possible (e.g. prior to the goods being despatched or in store prior to the collection of the goods). We will provide you the option of reconfirming your order at the correct price or cancelling it. If we are unable to contact you we will treat the order as cancelled. If you choose to cancel and have already paid for the goods you will receive a full refund.
4.4 Payment can be made through PayPal or bank transfer. We cannot accept cash, or cash on collection. We do not offer a collection service for resource and security reasons.
4.5 Title to any products you order on this website shall pass to you on delivery of the products provided that we have processed and received payment in full for the products. For Click & Collect orders, the title to products shall pass to you once the goods have been handed over to you in store.
4.6 All prices are shown in £s sterling and include VAT (where applicable) at the applicable current rates but exclude delivery charges, unless expressly stated otherwise.
5. Returns, Cancellations and Substitutions
5.1 An unwanted product can be returned for a full refund within 14/30/60 days of delivery (as shown on a per listing basis) as long as it’s still in its original, unopened packaging. This returns policy for unopened goods is in addition to your statutory rights.
Separately to the 14/30/60 day policy above, and in accordance with your rights when you purchase goods online or over the phone, unwanted items can be returned even if you have opened them for inspection as long as you let us know within 14 calendar days from the day after delivery. Once you have told us you want to return an item, you should do so without undue delay and not later than 14 days from the day on which you informed us of your decision to cancel the order. You can examine the goods as you would in a shop but to obtain a full refund you must not start using them, install them or input any data/software. The goods must be returned in ‘as new’ condition and in their original packaging.
Steady Comps Ltd. will cover the cost of returns using only DHL. All returns are inspected on arrival with an independent figure from DHL to ensure serial number matches item dispatched and condition is acceptable. This is verified on video to combat fraud.
We reserve the right to issue a partial refund for any items which are not returned in their original condition and/or are used and/or damaged. Full refunds will only be issued on genuine returns.
Fraudulent returns will be reported to the police.
Refunds will be issued within 4 working days of processing.
(b) Build-to-Order Systems: Please note that build-to-order systems (custom machines) such as those ordered from Apple cannot be cancelled once the order is placed, as Apple requires us to purchase these items regardless. If a customer wishes to cancel an order for a custom-built system, the cancellation may not qualify for a full refund. A partial refund, typically 80% of the purchase price, may be issued to cover the costs incurred due to the custom nature of the order. This partial refund policy ensures we can manage the expenses associated with these specialised products. To avoid this scenario please ensure you are ordering the exact specification you require and that you are aware of the manufacturing time before dispatch. This policy is in accordance with Regulation 28(1)(b) of the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013, which exempts custom-made or personalised goods from the usual 14-day right to cancel.
