  3. OUR CONTRACT WITH YOU

    1. Our acceptance of your order will take place when we email you to accept it, at which point a contract will come into existence between you and us.  Acceptance of the order is subject to availability of stock.

    2. If we are unable to accept your order, we will inform you of this and will not charge you for the product, or, if payment has already been made a full refund will be given in respect of the unavailable products. This might be because the product is out of stock due to unexpected demand or otherwise, because of unexpected limits on our resources which we could not reasonably plan for, 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. 

    3. We will assign an order number to your order and tell you what it is when we accept your order. Please tell us the order number whenever you contact us about your order.

    6. If you end the contract for any reason after products have been dispatched to you or you have received them, you must return them to us. You must either return the goods in person to where you bought them or post them back to us at MFC Retail, Riverside Stadium, Middlesbrough TS3 6RS.  If you are exercising your right to change your mind you must send off the goods within 14 days of telling us you wish to end the contract.  You must pay the costs of return unless the goods are faulty.

    8. 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 which would not be permitted in a Store.  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.

We take all reasonable care to ensure that the price of the product advised to you is correct. However, 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.

  7. OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO YOU FOR LOSS OR DAMAGE SUFFERED BY YOU

    1. 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 or our failing to use reasonable care and skill, 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.

    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; and for defective products under the Consumer Protection Act 1987

    3. We are not liable for business losses. We only supply the products for domestic and private use.

    1. We may transfer our rights and obligations under these terms to another organisation.  We will always tell you in writing if this happens and we will ensure that the transfer will not affect your rights under the contract. 

    2. You may only transfer your rights or your obligations under these terms to another person if we agree to this in writing. 

    3. This contract is between you and us. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms.

    4. 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.

    5. 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. 

    6. These terms are governed by English law and you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the products in the English courts.
