Terms of Trading

Appliancecity.co.uk is a trading name of Bunny Appliance Warehouse Ltd. Please note that customers purchasing from our retail showroom should refer to in store terms of trading. We reserve the right to alter the terms of trading from time to time.

Pricing and Payment

Payments can be made by Visa credit, MasterCard, Maestro and Visa debit cards; you can also pay by bankers draft or BACS Transfer prior to delivery. All product(s) must be paid for in full prior to despatch from our warehouse. Due to fluctuations in exchange rates we do not accept payment made by credit or debit cards from foreign banks.

If your billing address and delivery address differ, we will need to validate the information provided with our Identity Verification partner. In addition we may require copy of a utility bill to verify invoice address details. This will help to protect you and us against fraudulent transactions.

All prices and products quoted are subject to alteration or withdrawal without notice from time to time. All Prices include VAT and standard UK mainland delivery unless otherwise stated. VAT is charged at the point where a transaction or service is completed. Any variation in the VAT rate will be re-calculated at the tax point.

Delivery/Collection

Due to our huge warehouse capacity we hold thousands of products in stock for quick delivery, many of which are available on our next day delivery service for a small extra charge. Our standard delivery timescale for stock items to most UK postcodes is 3-5 working days. Upon confirmation of a delivery day we can usually offer you a four hour timeslot and or a pre-call from the driver. Occasionally we have to order products from the manufacturer which can extend the delivery to 7-10 working days but if there are any unforeseen delays we will contact you via telephone or e-mail to keep you informed. Feel free to contact our sales team to discuss availability prior to placing your order.

Availability

All product(s) are subject to availability. We can only guarantee availability while stocks last. If the product(s) ordered are unavailable we will contact you and give you the option of a suitable alternative. We will endeavour to deliver your order within the times stated but product(s) are subject to availability. A delay in delivery of product(s) is sometimes beyond our control. Any delivery dates specified are approximate and we cannot take responsibility for any losses, costs, damages, charges or expenses caused by any delay.  Please allow enough time for your appliance(s) to be delivered before you organise installation as we cannot be held responsible for out of pocket expenses resulting from delays in delivery.

Damages

No claims for visible damage will be accepted after the product(s) have been signed for as checked. Any visible damage should be reported to our Customer Service department at the point of delivery. Please do not fit or use a product(s) that is incorrect or different to that which was ordered. Failure to comply with these guidelines will deem that you have accepted the product(s) and we would be unable to return or replace them.

Faulty Goods

The guarantee will not apply if the fault arises from excessive wear and tear in our reasonable opinion, deliberate damage, accidental damage, negligence, abnormal working conditions, failure to follow manufacturer instructions, misuse or alteration or repair of the appliance(s) without manufacturer approval. Claims regarding faulty goods will be subject to the terms and conditions of the manufacturer’s warranty but this does not affect your statutory rights. If your product(s) appears not to be functioning correctly please first check the manufacturer’s instruction book and follow the fault-finding guide. If a product(s) has been installed we will require a manufacturer approved service engineer to inspect the appliance to establish the nature of the fault. Please remember if a product(s) is found to be installed incorrectly we reserve the right to charge for the service call.

If you do wish to withdraw from the contract you must notify us either in writing or by e-mail within the said time period. Any refund will be made within 30 days of the cancellation date. These terms do not apply to 'Special Order Items'. Under the same regulations you have a duty to take reasonable care of the appliance(s). If you cancel an order after the goods have been despatched, you will be charged the actual cost of collecting the item. The cost will be deducted from any refund that is due to you

Disclaimer

We will acknowledge your order and confirm availability by e-mail as soon as possible. Any e-mail or other electronic acknowledgment by us of receipt of an order placed by you does not constitute legal acceptance by Bunny Appliance Warehouse of your order. Acceptance of your order and the completion of the contract between you and us will take place when the goods are despatched, unless we have notified you that we do not accept your order or that you have cancelled it.

Whilst we try our utmost to ensure the accuracy of our site we cannot be held responsible for typographical errors, colour accuracy, image discrepancies or product dimensions. The product(s) that is delivered may vary slightly from the image supplied by the manufacturers and may not include any of the pictured accessories. We have the right to refuse or cancel any orders listed at the incorrect price whether or not the order has been confirmed. If your credit card has already been charged we will immediately issue a credit to your account equal to the value of the original payment taken. Whilst every effort has been made to ensure that product specifications are correct on our website due to continual product development through research & design specifications may change without notice.

Descriptions relating to appliance(s) are a brief guide. We therefore recommend all product features and technical information is confirmed with manufacturer before purchase. Manufacturers contact details are available on the customer care section of the home page.

Prices and availability are subject to change without notice.

Security

• We are aware of the concerns customers have about entering their card details when carrying out a transaction. We have therefore implemented the following measures to ensure that paying via our Website is as safe as possible:
• All your credit card and personal information is encrypted and held on a secure SSL (Secure Socket Layer) server. This protects data during transit, in particular the credit card information, from being intercepted and misused by hackers.
• We use 128-bit encryption (this technology scrambles the data relating to your account to ensure that your information cannot be read by anyone else) and constantly update our technologies in line with new security measures.
• Any information transmitted to us is encrypted (scrambled) whilst it is sent over the Internet. When it reaches us we then encrypt the content so that only authorised personnel can access it. This makes it very difficult for this data to be intercepted.
• We ask you to enter the CV2 security number from the back of your credit or debit card, which helps to reduce the risk of Internet fraud being carried out.
• You should ensure that the technology you are using is also secure.

Claims for promotional warranties must be registered within the set time according to the Manufacturers Terms & Conditions.

Customers who purchase an extended warranty from us will receive a warranty certificate by post approximately eight to ten weeks after delivery with a separate set of terms and conditions attached.
