Please read these terms and conditions carefully before ordering any products from the Website. You should understand that by ordering any of our products, you agree to be bound by these terms and conditions. We recommend that you print a copy of these terms and conditions for future reference.
We may change these terms and conditions and will post the modified version on this page. When you order a product from the Website, the terms and conditions in force at the time of your order will apply to the contract between you and us.
2. HOW THE CONTRACT IS FORMED BETWEEN YOU AND US
After placing an order on our Website, this does not mean that your order has been accepted.
Your order constitutes an offer to us to buy a product. All orders are subject to acceptance by us, and we will confirm such acceptance by sending you an e-mail that confirms the delivery of the product (the "Shipment of Order Email"). The contract between us (the "Contract") will be formed when we send you the Shipment of Order Email.
The Contract will relate only to those products whose dispatch we have confirmed in the Shipment of Order Email. We will not be obliged to supply any other products which may have been part of your order until the dispatch of such products has been confirmed in a separate Shipment of Order Email.
It is understood that we provide Products and Services only in quantities that correspond to the average domestic need of a private consumer. Our Company therefore reserves the right to further limit the purchase options of its customers in relation to the quantities of the Products ordered and the relative total amounts, if it considers that they are not intended to meet the needs of a private consumer. We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to reject any orders received by notifying you in writing without incurring any further liability.
3. PURCHASE OF PRODUCTS
We accept your orders if you are resident in England, for delivery to UK mainland addresses only. We do not deliver outside of England. Please, see the “delivery” paragraph.
Payment
The price you pay is the price displayed on the Website at the time we receive your order. However, if there is a pricing error, we do not have to provide the products to you at the incorrect price.
Prices are liable to change from time to time, but changes will not affect orders in respect of which we have already confirmed.
Payment for all products shall be by bank transfer, credit card, debit card or via PayPal. Payment for all products and applicable delivery charges is taken when the order is placed. We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to make external checks including via third parties, in order to verify your age and identity.
Delivery
We aim to deliver your order as soon as possible after full payment is received. If the products are in-stock, we aim to have them delivered within 14 days. Products out-of-stock and have to be ordered by us, may take a little longer. We only deliver within England and please contact us prior to placing your order if delivery is to be outside of this area. It is your responsibility as the customer to select the correct delivery method and we reserve the right to retrospectively charge the correct fee if the incorrect selection has been made at time of purchase.
If you are not able to accept a delivery when the day and time was agreed in advance, a further charge of up to £350 will be required for another delivery attempt.

For products used commercially (i.e. for hire or by contractors, local councils, caravan sites, water authorities, or any similar use where the machine is employed for financial gain or is instrumental in being employed on properties being used for financial gain) the warranty period will be 90 days, unless otherwise stated.
Batteries and battery chargers on all products carry a 12 months warranty, except for the 24V, 48V and 80V Lithium-Ion products that carry a 2-year warranty.
