    2. However, subject the remaining provisions of these Terms, you shall have right to cancel your order for any Product(s) free of charge by giving us notice at any time prior to the issuing of Dispatch Confirmation in respect of those Product(s) (Cancellation Right), in which case we will refund you in full.

Please remember it can take some time for your bank or credit card company to process and post the refund. For the avoidance of doubt, this refund shall be your sole right in respect of any such order cancellation, and we shall not be liable to you for any other losses or liabilities arising out of such rejection or cancellation (to the utmost extent permitted by law), including as regards any indirect or consequential loss, or for interest on any sums paid.
    7. For the avoidance of doubt, any discount codes shall be non-cancellable, non-refundable and are not transferable or redeemable for cash of any equivalent consideration.
  12. PRICE OF PRODUCTS AND DELIVERY CHARGES

    1. The prices of the Products we supply will be as quoted on the Site from time to time. We take all reasonable care to ensure that the prices of Products are correct at the time when the relevant information was entered onto the system. However if we discover an error in the price of Product(s) you ordered, please see clause 12.5 for what happens in this event.
    2. Prices for our Products may change from time to time, but changes will not affect any order which we have confirmed with a Dispatch Confirmation. Any discounts (including early adopter pricing) are time and user limited, and will not be extended unless we otherwise expressly communicate this.
    3. The price of a Product includes VAT (where applicable) at the applicable current rate chargeable in the UK for the time being. However, if the rate of VAT changes between the date of your order and the date of delivery, we will adjust the VAT you pay, unless you have already paid for the Products in full before the change in VAT takes effect.
    4. Unless specified otherwise, the price of a Product does not include delivery charges, including either delivery to you, or to an end-user of the Product directly. Our delivery charges are as quoted on the Site from time to time.
    5. The Site contains a large number of Products many of which can be adapted to suit your specific requirements. It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the Products on the Site may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices as part of our dispatch procedures so that:
    6. where the Product's correct price is less than the price stated on the Site, we will charge the lower amount when dispatching the Products to you. However, if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as a mispricing, we do not have to provide the Products to you at the incorrect (lower) price; and
    7. if the Product's correct price is higher than the price stated on the Site, we will contact you as soon as possible to inform you of this error and we will give you the option of continuing to purchase the Product at the correct price or cancelling your order. We will not process your order until we have your instructions. If we are unable to contact you using the contact details you provided during the order process, we will treat the order as cancelled and notify you in writing.

If you fail to make any payment by the due date, then, without prejudice to any other rights or remedies we may have, you shall pay interest on the overdue amount at the rate of 4% per annum above the base rate of Bank of England base rate from time to time. Such interest shall accrue on a daily basis from the due date until the date of actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgment. You shall pay the interest together with the overdue amount. This clause shall not apply to payments that you dispute in good faith in accordance with clause 13.5.
    5. If you dispute any invoice, you shall notify us within 5 calendar days. You shall provide all such evidence as may be reasonably necessary to verify the disputed invoice. Where only part of an invoice is disputed, the undisputed amount shall be paid on the due date as set out in clause 13.2.
    6. If payment is overdue in whole or in part, we may, without prejudice to any other rights or remedies we may have, require you to deliver up any Products to which we still hold legal title under clause 9.6. If you fail to do so promptly, we may enter any your property or the property of any third party where the relevant Products are stored in order to recover them.
    7. If the rate of VAT changes between your order date and the date we supply the product, we adjust the rate of VAT that you pay, unless you have already paid in full before the change in the rate of VAT takes effect.
    8. Notwithstanding clause 13.2 above, we reserve the right to charge you for all applicable Product and delivery charges in advance of dispatch. We will not charge your debit card or credit card until we dispatch your order.

An Event Outside Our Control means any act or event beyond our reasonable control, including without limitation strikes, lock-outs or other industrial action by third parties, civil commotion, riot, invasion, terrorist attack or threat of terrorist attack, war (whether declared or not) or threat or preparation for war, fire, explosion, storm, flood, earthquake, subsidence, epidemic or other natural disaster, or failure of public or private telecommunications networks or impossibility of the use of railways, shipping, aircraft, motor transport or other means of public or private transport.
    3. If an Event Outside Our Control takes place that affects the performance of our obligations under a Contract:
      (a) we will contact you as soon as reasonably possible to notify you; and
      (b) our obligations under a Contract will be suspended and the time for performance of our obligations will be extended for the duration of the Event Outside Our Control. Where the Event Outside Our Control affects our delivery of Products to you, we will arrange a new delivery date with you after the Event Outside Our Control is over.
  17. COMMUNICATIONS BETWEEN US

    1. When we refer, in these Terms, to "in writing", this will include e-mail.
    2. If you wish to contact us in writing, or if any clause in these Terms requires you to give us notice in writing, you can send this to us by e-mail or by pre-paid post to Bloc Blinds at the address set out at the commencement of these Terms or to info@blocblinds.com. We will confirm receipt of this by contacting you in writing, normally by e-mail. If you are exercising your right to cancel under clause 11, please see that clause 11 for how to tell us this.
    3. If we have to contact you or give you notice in writing, we will do so by e-mail or by pre-paid post to the address you provide to us in your order.
    4. Please note that any notice given by you to us, or by us to you, will be deemed received and properly served immediately 24 hours after an e-mail is sent or three days after the date of posting of any letter. In proving the service of any notice, it will be sufficient to prove, in the case of a letter, that such letter was properly addressed, stamped and placed in the post and, in the case of an e-mail, that such e-mail was sent to the specified e-mail address of the addressee.
  18. OTHER IMPORTANT TERMS

    1. We may transfer our rights and obligations under a Contract to another organisation, but this will not affect your rights or our obligations under these Terms.
    2. You may only transfer your rights or your obligations under these Terms to another person if we agree in writing. However, if you have purchased a Product as a gift, you may transfer the benefit of our manufacturer’s guarantee at Appendix 1 to the recipient of the gift without needing to ask our consent.
    3. Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
    4. These Terms and any terms communicated on our Site at the point of Order constitutes the entire agreement and understanding between you and us and governs your use of the Site or purchase of our Products, superseding any prior or contemporaneous agreements, communications and proposals, whether oral or written, between you and us (including, but not limited to, any prior versions of the Terms).
    5. Any ambiguities in the interpretation of these Terms shall not be construed against the drafting party.
    6. Any Contract is between you and us. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms, whether under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties Act) 1999 or otherwise. However, as a consumer, although the recipient of your gift of a Product will have the benefit of our manufacturer’s guarantee at Appendix 1, we and you will not need their consent to cancel or make any changes to these Terms.
    7. Each of the clauses of these Terms operates separately. In the event that any provision of these Terms is determined to be unlawful, void or unenforceable, such provision shall nonetheless be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, and the unenforceable portion shall be deemed to be severed from these Terms, such determination shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any other remaining provisions
    8. If we fail to insist that you perform any of your obligations under these Terms, or if we do not enforce our rights against you, or if we delay in doing so, that will not mean that we have waived our rights against you and will not mean that you do not have to comply with those obligations. If we do waive a default by you, we will only do so in writing, and that will not mean that we will automatically waive any later default by you.
    9. Please note that these Terms are governed by the laws of Northern Ireland. This means that a Contract, and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with it or its subject matter or formation (including non-contractual disputes or claims), will be governed by the laws of Northern Ireland. You and we both agree that the courts of Northern Ireland will have exclusive jurisdiction.
    10. We will not file a copy of any Contract between us.

Please note that we do not carry out any repair work outside of our premises.
