Order acceptance

Orders placed online are an offer to purchase made by you and may be accepted by us subject to availability. You must be 18 or over to order from us. We endeavour to display all items in our current internet range. Goods are subject to availability and if available online, may nevertheless be unavailable for delivery to your location if local legal or regulatory restrictions apply. In the event that we are unable to supply the item(s), we will either automatically highlight this as being out of stock or as unavailable for delivery to your location at check-out, as applicable.

A series of basic online steps is required to create a contract between you and us:

  • You confirm your order for products on our website by pressing the confirm order button at the end of the checkout process.
  • You will receive an order acknowledgment detailing the item/s you have ordered provided the email address we hold for you has been entered correctly. If the email address is wrong you will not receive an email. This is not an order confirmation or order acceptance from Shopdirect24.
  • For items being delivered to you, when your order is shipped from our warehouse we will send you a despatch confirmation email.
  • Order acceptance and the completion of the contract between you and Shopdirect24 will take place on the despatch to you of the products ordered from our warehouse, unless we have notified you that we do not accept your order or you have cancelled it in accordance with the instructions given for contract cancellation.
  • If an order is placed by a business or retail site with the intention of directly reselling goods purchased from us, we reserve the right to cancel this order pre dispatch. We also reserve the right to cancel any bulk order (for over 50 units of the same item) that may be placed by a business and /or where delivery is to be made to a business premises.
  • Risk of loss and damage of products passes to you on the date when the products are delivered.
  • If due to technical errors in pricing and/or details incorrectly shown on our website, inability to gain authorisation on your payment or your product being unavailable from stock, we reserve the right not to accept orders.

Description of products

Each Product purchased is sold subject to its Product Description which sets out additional Specific Conditions related to that product including, without limitation, terms and conditions concerning estimated delivery dates and times, warranties, after-sales service and guarantees.

We will take all reasonable care to ensure that all details, descriptions and prices of products appearing on the website are correct at the time when the relevant information was entered onto the system. Although we aim to keep the website as up to date as possible, the information including Product Descriptions appearing on this website at a particular time may not always reflect the position exactly at the moment you place an order. All sizes and measurements are approximated; however we do try to make sure that they are as accurate as possible.

Pricing policy

The price you pay is the price displayed on this website at the time we receive your order with the following exception:

  • While we try and ensure that all prices on our website are accurate, errors may occur. If we discover an error in the price of goods you have ordered we will inform you as soon as possible and give you the option of re confirming your order at the correct price or cancelling it. Therefore we cannot confirm the price of a Product until your order is accepted in accordance with our Order acceptance policy. If we are unable to contact you within 48 hours we will treat the order as cancelled. If you cancel and you have already paid for the goods, you will receive a full refund.
  • If the on-line price of the goods is reduced after you have placed your order, but before you have received the goods, we will happily honour this price reduction. Please contact us.

The ownership of any products you order on this website shall pass to you on delivery of the products provided that we have processed and received payment in full for the products.

All prices shown on our website are in £Sterling and are inclusive of local applicable taxes at the current rate. Prices exclude delivery charges, unless expressly stated otherwise. We reserve the right to change prices if there is a change to the rate of VAT and we will endeavour to ensure that prices are correctly shown. As part of our commitment to low prices we check prices daily to ensure our simply value for money offer.

Orders from outside Great Britain may be subject to import duties and taxes depending on your location. You may need to complete a customs declaration form and/or provide identification when receiving an imported delivery. All applicable duties, fees and any additional charges for customs clearance levied by the importing country at the time the shipment arrives in your country are your sole responsibility.

Payment

We accept payment by credit or debit cards registered to a UK address, or PayPal accounts registered to a UK address. We accept the following cards: Maestro, Visa Debit, Visa Electron, MasterCard, Solo and Visa Credit.

To ensure that your credit or debit card is not being used without your consent, we will validate name, address and other personal information supplied by you during the order process against appropriate third part databases. By accepting these terms and conditions you content to such checks being made. We confirm that any Personal Information which you provide to us and any User Information from which we can identify you, is strictly held in accordance with the registration we have with the Data Commissioner’s Office.

We will take all reasonable care to keep your order and payment details secure, but in the absence of negligence on our part we cannot be held liable for any loss you may suffer if a third party procures unauthorised access to any data you provide when accessing or ordering from our website.

  • All prices shown on our website are in £Sterling and are inclusive of local applicable taxes at the current rate.
  • We accept online payment in a secure environment and we accept all major credit and debit cards registered to UK addresses with the exception of American Express.
  • We also accept payment via UK registered PayPal accounts.
  • We do not accept payment by cheque or cash.

  • You confirm that the credit/debit card that is being used is yours.
  • All credit/debit cardholders are subject to validation checks and authorisation by the card issuer.
  • If the issuer of your payment card refuses to authorise payment, we will not be liable for delay or non-delivery.

PayPal Credit

PayPal Credit is like a credit card, without the plastic. It’s a credit limit that’s attached to your PayPal account which you can use for your online purchases. Spend £99 or more and enjoy 0% interest for 4 months on your purchase.

The Representative Example below shows the typical costs of using a PayPal Credit limit, not including instalments or other offers.

Representative Example:

  • Purchase rate 19.9% p.a. (variable)
  • Representative 19.9% APR (variable)
  • Assumed Credit Limit £1,200

3D security

Our customer’s security is of highest priority so we have invested in the latest fraud prevention initiative (3D Secure) to give you an increased level of payment card security for complete peace of mind.

3D Secure is a new security measure now required by most banks. Similar to chip and pin but for online purchases it gives additional security by asking for a secret password. This allows your card issuer to fully authenticate the cardholder during the payment process.

When you click on the “confirm” button you will see a window open up entitled ‘3D Secure Authentication’. When submitting your card details, depending on the card type, you will be redirected to a secure Visa or MasterCard page on your bank’s secure servers. Shopdirect24 cannot see or access this information. If you have already registered your card for 3D Secure, you will be asked to enter your 3D secure password.

If you have not registered your card before, you will have the option to do so. If you have not registered your card and do not wish to do so you may have the option to bypass the process depending on your card type and your bank.

Some banks are forcing mandatory sign up to the scheme to upgrade your security to the highest level with immediate effect. This new security initiative is for your protection online and will soon become the standard for all websites.

For the latest developments in 3D security please contact your bank or contact us.
