We will send that confirmation email to the email address associated with your Account [or provided during the checkout process].
3.2 If we are unable to accept your order, we will email you to inform you, and no contract between us will come into force.

The address and any other information you provide to us must be accurate and complete.

In this case, we may have to cancel a delivery but we will notify you if this is the case at the time.
5.4 We reserve the right to discontinue Products without notice. If that change affects an active order, we will let you know as soon as possible and:
(a) where possible, we will offer to substitute that Product with an alternative product; and
(b) you can refuse to accept such substitutes, in which case we will offer you a refund. If it is not possible to offer you an alternative Product, or if you choose a refund, our contract with you for the supply of that Product will end, and we will make the refund as soon as possible and in any event within 14 days.
5.5 Delays and events outside our control. If supply of the Products is delayed or prevented by an event outside our control, we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and we will take reasonable steps to minimise the effect of the delay or event preventing delivery. Provided we notify you of such delay or non delivery, we will not be liable for delays or failure to deliver caused by the event, but if there is a risk of substantial delay or we inform you that we are not able (in our discretion) to work around the event preventing delivery, then either we or you may end the contract upon written notice and you will receive a refund for any Products you have paid for but not received. Events outside our control include (but are not limited to) bad weather, fire, flood, hostilities and civil disturbance that may affect the safety of our drivers or delivery of our Products, acts of government or other authorities and labour disputes.
5.6 Delivery of Products will take place when our delivery provider delivers them to you at the address that you gave to us and leaves your order as per your delivery instructions. A signature may be required.
5.7 We are responsible for the Products until they are delivered to you. You are responsible for the Products once delivery has taken place and will own the Products once they have been paid for.
5.8 You must notify us if you believe we have not delivered your Products, as soon as possible (in any event within 3 days of the scheduled delivery), so we can rectify matters. In the event that we have failed to deliver the Products, then we will arrange redelivery or a refund at your request.
- Your rights to cancel the contract
6.1 Cancelling because you’ve changed your mind. As you are purchasing the Products online you have a legal right to change your mind and cancel the contract within fourteen (14) days from delivery of the Products and receive a refund (including costs of delivery, but excluding the costs of return).
6.2 Returning faulty Products. The Products sold to you must be as described, fit for purpose and of satisfactory quality. This means that (having regard to the expected lifespan of the Product you ordered) you are entitled to the following:
- a) Up to thirty days: if the Products you received are faulty, then you can get a full refund (this refund will include costs of delivery and return).
- b) Up to six months: if the Products you received can’t be repaired or replaced, then you’re entitled to a refund in most cases.
6.3 How to exercise these rights. To exercise the rights described in this clause 6, please let us know by contacting us by one of the methods listed above. Please provide your name, home address, details of the order and, where available, your phone number and email address.
6.4 Returning the Products. If you end the contract after Products have been dispatched to you or you have received them, you must return them to us. You must post them back to us at Boroughbox, Unit 10, Quadrant Park, AL7 1FS, Welwyn Garden City or (if they are not suitable for posting) allow us to collect them from you. Please contact us as above for a return label or to arrange collection. If you are exercising your right to change your mind you must send off the Products within 14 days of telling us you wish to end the contract.
6.5 Deduction from refunds. If you are have changed your mind:
- a) We may reduce your refund of the price (excluding delivery costs) to reflect any reduction in the value of the Products, 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 Products 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 3-5 days at one cost but you choose to have the product delivered within 24 hours at a higher cost, then we will only refund what you would have paid for the cheaper delivery option.
6.6 Refund method. In the first instance, We will try to refund any sums you are due under this clause 6 to the same payment method used for the relevant order.
