Purchasers should visit the web site or contact us directly for up to date pricing information. Prices displayed on the surveyingstuff.com web site are valid only on orders placed online. They are not available when making a purchase in person or by telephone. 5. Payment Goods will only be dispatched once payment has been received in full. This will include the full selling price for the goods, plus any additional charges as stated at the point of purchase. Any exceptions to this will be at the discretion of the company. 6. Delivery Orders for goods which are shown on the web site as 'next day' delivery and that are received before 3.30pm Monday to Friday will be dispatched the same day, subject to the goods being in stock. The company may use any method of delivery available to it. The company will endeavour to meet delivery targets, but can accept no liability of any kind for late delivery or non-delivery. Royal Mail First Class post may be used for some deliveries of smaller items. Although over 90% of first class deliveries arrive next day, next day receipt is not guaranteed. All delivery prices and lead times quoted on the web site are for mainland UK only. Extra charges will apply to Saturday deliveries, if required. Orders for multiple items with varying availability will be dispatched when all items are in stock, unless otherwise arranged. 7. Availability The company will endeavour to state as accurately as possible the availability of goods on its web site and to meet the estimated delivery times wherever possible. However, circumstances beyond the company's control may occasionally prevent delivery targets from being fulfilled. On such occasions we will meet all orders as quickly as is reasonably possible to do so. When a product has a long-term manufacturer's delay, or is removed from sale, the company will offer an equivalent product where possible. 8.

If cancellation is accepted goods must be returned within seven days of delivery, unused and in their original packaging and must be complete, undamaged and in such a condition that enables immediate resale. Company policy is to provide a replacement product within a reasonable timescale or a credit note for the value of the returned goods. Should the goods arrive in a condition that prevents their immediate resale, they will be liable to a restocking charge of 30%. Additionally, all returns outside this seven-day period will be subject to the standard 30% restocking charge. No credit shall be allowed for goods until they have been received complete. Purchasers are responsible for returning the goods to us, at their own expense and liability and for providing acceptable proof of delivery. 12. Inspection, damage and non-delivery The purchaser must inspect the goods as soon as is reasonably practicable after delivery and we shall not be liable for any defect in the goods unless the purchaser notifies us in writing within seven days of delivery. In addition, no liability for any claim for damage or non-functionality, missing items or accessories, or the order differing in quantity or description from the delivery note, shall be accepted unless the purchaser notifies the company, in writing, within seven days of delivery. The onus is on the purchaser to prove any non- functionality, loss or shortage. In this instance, company liability is limited to replacement of goods within a reasonable time or a refund of monies in respect of goods at our own discretion. Any goods returned as faulty that are found to have no fault will be subject to a 30% restocking charge.
