Please read these General Terms and Conditions carefully and make sure that you understand them, before ordering any products from our online shop.

You can contact us online by clicking here.

(2) The products offered in our online shop are only available for purchase by persons who are 18 years or older. If you are not a consumer, you confirm that you have authority to bind any business on whose behalf you use our site to purchase products. A consumer is defined as an individual acting for purposes which are wholly or mainly outside that individual's trade, business, craft or profession.

(3) This Section 1(3) only applies if you are a business. We provide our deliveries, services and offers and enter into any Contract exclusively on the basis of these General Terms and Conditions. The General Terms and Conditions apply also to all future Contracts even if they are not explicitly agreed again. These General Terms and Conditions and any document expressly referred to in them constitutes the entire agreement between you and us and supersedes and extinguishes all previous agreements, promises, assurances, warranties, representations and understandings between us, whether written or oral, relating to its subject matter. You acknowledge that in entering into the Contract you do not rely on any statement, representation, assurance or warranty (whether made innocently or negligently) that is not set out in these General Terms and Conditions or any document expressly referred to in them.

(4) The sole contract language shall be English.

(5) Conclusion of the Contract will be documented and stored at our location. Upon conclusion of the Contract, the text of the Contract will not be filed at our location and will therefore not be accessible by you.

Section 2 

Conclusion of contract

(1) Presentation of products in our online shop shall not represent a binding offer by us to conclude a purchase contract.

(2) After you have placed products into the "shopping cart", you can check and, if necessary, correct your entire order. You will make an offer of purchase only by clicking the "Order with obligation to pay" or similar button.

(3) Upon receipt of the offer of purchase, you will receive an automatically generated e-mail in which we acknowledge receipt of your order (acknowledgement of receipt). The acknowledgement of receipt does not mean acceptance of your offer of purchase. A contract is not concluded by sending the acknowledgement of receipt.

(4) A purchase contract for the products shall be concluded only when we expressly declare acceptance of the offer of purchase or when we ship the products to you without an express prior declaration of acceptance.

(5) If we are unable to supply you with a product, for example because that product is not in stock or no longer available or because we cannot meet your requested delivery date or because of an error in the price on our online shop or due to an order quantity exceeding the stated maximum quantity per customer, we will inform you of this by e-mail and we will not process your order. If you have already paid for the products, we will refund you the full amount including any delivery costs charged as soon as possible.

Section 3 

Prices, shipping charges

The prices quoted on the product pages include value-added tax (where applicable) and the respective delivery charges within the United Kingdom.

It is always possible that, despite our reasonable efforts, some of the products in our online shop may be incorrectly priced. If this happens then we will not be obliged to supply the products at the incorrect price or at all. We will (at our discretion) either cancel your order and refund the price you have paid or endeavour to contact you and ask you whether you wish to continue with the order at the correct price. If we are unable to contact you or you do not wish to continue with the order at the correct price, we will cancel your order and refund the price you have paid.

Section 8 

Information about your right of cancellation and cancellation form

If you are a consumer you have a legal right to cancel a Contract without giving any reason subject to the following provisions.

Right of cancellation

Your legal right to cancel a Contract starts from the date of our acceptance of your order (which is when the Contract between us is formed) and ends fourteen days after the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the products.

If your Contract is for multiple products which are delivered on separate days the cancellation period ends fourteen days after the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last of the multiple products included in your Contract.

To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us,

Company: [I Should Coco]

Phone number: [01736 798756]

of your decision to withdraw from the Contract by an unequivocal statement (e.g. a letter sent by post, fax or e-mail). You may use the attached model cancellation form, but it is not obligatory

To meet the cancellation deadline, it is for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of cancellation before the cancellation period has expired.

Effects of cancellation

If you cancel the Contract, we shall reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (with the exception of the supplementary costs resulting from your choice of a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us), without undue delay and in any event not later than fourteen days after the day on which we receive the products back or, if earlier, the day on which you supply us with evidence of having sent the products back to us.
