17.1 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, how we are performing and when you decide to end the contract:

(a) If what you have bought is faulty or mis-described you may have a legal right to end the contract (or to get the product repaired or replaced), see clause 20;

(b) If you want to end the contract because of something we have done or have told you we are going to do, see clause 17.2;

17.2 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 (d) 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:

(a) we have told you about an upcoming change to the product or these Terms which you do not agree to (see clause 9.2 and clause 10.4);

(c) sealed audio or sealed video recordings or sealed computer software, once these products are unsealed after you receive them; and

but this will not affect your legal rights as a consumer in relation to products that are damaged prior to delivery or not as described.

17.5 How long do I have to change my mind? You have 14 days after the day you (or someone you nominate) receives the goods, unless:

(i) 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 to change your mind about the goods.

(ii) 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.

17.6 Ending the contract where we are not at fault and there is no right to change your mind. If you do not have any other rights to end the contract (see clause 17.1), you can still contact us before it is completed and tell us you want to end it. If you do this 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.

18. How to end the contract with us (including if you have changed your mind)

18.1 Tell us you want to end the contract. To end the contract with us, please let us know by doing one of the following:

18.3 When we will pay the costs of return. We will pay the costs of return:

(a) if the products are faulty or mis-described; or

(b) 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

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

18.5 How we will refund you. 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.

18.6 Deductions from refunds. If you are exercising your right to change your mind:

(a) 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 shop. 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.

(b) 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 1-2 working days of dispatch at one cost but you choose to have the product delivered within 24 hours of dispatch at a higher cost, then we will only refund what you would have paid for the cheaper delivery option.

18.7 When your refund will be made. We will make any refunds due to you as soon as possible. If you are exercising your right to change your mind and we have not offered to collect the products, 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. For information about how to return a product to us, see clause 18.2. In all other cases, your refund will be made within 14 days of your telling us you have changed your mind

(c) you do not, within a reasonable time, allow us to deliver the products to you or collect them from us.

19.2 You must compensate us if you break the contract. If we end the contract in any of the situations set out in clause 19.1 we will refund any money you have paid in advance for products we have not provided but we may deduct or charge you reasonable compensation for the net costs we will incur as a result of your breaking the contract.

20.3 Summary of your legal rights. We are under a legal duty to supply products that are in conformity with this contract. See the box below for a summary of your key legal rights in relation to the products. Nothing in these Terms will affect your legal rights.

Summary of your key legal rights

This is a summary of your key legal rights. These are subject to certain exceptions. For detailed information please visit the Citizens Advice website www.adviceguide.org.uk or call 03454 04 05 06.

The Consumer Rights Act 2015 says goods must be as described, fit for purpose and of satisfactory quality. During the expected life of your product your legal rights entitle you to the following:

· up to 30 days: if your item is faulty, then you can get a refund.

· up to six months: if your faulty item can't be repaired or replaced, then you're entitled to a full refund, in most cases.

· up to six years: if the item can be expected to last up to six years you may be entitled to a repair or replacement, or, if that doesn't work, some of your money back.

20.4 Your obligation to return rejected products. If you wish to exercise your legal rights to reject products you must either return them in person to where you bought them, 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. Please call us on 01273 260260 or e-mail us at artbox@lawrence.co.uk for a return label or to arrange collection.

21. Price and payment

21.1 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 product advised to you is correct. However please see clause 21.5 for what happens if we discover an error in the price of the products you have ordered.

21.2 Changes to our prices. Prices for our products may change from time to time but any changes will not affect orders you have already placed.

21.3 Our Invoice. An automated invoice is created upon sale of our products. The invoice displays our VAT number. A VAT breakdown of your order will be available upon request.

21.4 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.

21.5 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 you are unhappy with the transfer you may contact us to end the contract within 14 days of us telling you about it and we will refund you any payments you have made in advance for products not provided.

26.2 You need our consent to transfer your rights to someone else (except that you can always transfer our warranty). You may only transfer your rights or your obligations under these Terms to another person if we agree to this in writing. However, you may transfer our warranty at clause 14 to a person who has acquired the product. We may require the person to whom the warranty is transferred to provide reasonable evidence that they are now the owner of the relevant product

26.3 Nobody else has any rights under this contract (except someone you pass your warranty on to). This contract is between you and us. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its Terms, except as explained in clause 26.2 in respect of our warranty. Neither of us will need to get the agreement of any other person in order to end the contract or make any changes to these Terms.

26.4 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.

26.5 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.

26.6 If you are a consumer, please note that these Terms are in addition to and do not affect your statutory rights as a consumer.
