Pricing & Availability
All product prices are quoted in pound sterling excluding freight, packaging & VAT at the current UK rate. The management reserves the right to amend any errors or change any advertised price. Prices marked with a Recommended Retail Price (RRP) refer to recommended prices that goods are sold within the UK, or prices that high street retailers within the UK are currently offering similar products. All products are subject to availability and may be withdrawn at any time. If your order cannot be fulfilled, you will be notified that the product is out of stock and/or offered an alternative prior to confirmation of order.
Sales Tax
VAT will be applicable within the UK and the European Union (where applicable) at 20% on all goods and freight. For exports, proof of export must be produced.
Confirmation of Order
Except during busy periods, orders are confirmed normally to you within 1 working day of receipt by us and stock items are dispatched to you within 2 working day of receipt of cleared funds.
We reserve the right to decline any order. All orders are accepted subject to these Terms.
Payment
Payment can be made by cash, direct/internet bank transfer, credit/debit card (Visa, MasterCard, Delta, Switch, Solo, Visa Electron or Maestro) or postal order/cheque. Cleared funds must be received prior to dispatch of your order. All goods remain the property of APPLE & BEARS Ltd until paid for in full.
Card payment will only be accepted from UK customers. All card payments are subject to CVC and a UK address verification check. We reserve the right to dispatch your order only to a verifiable cardholder's UK address. You represent and warrant that if you are purchasing something from us that (i) any credit/debit card information you supply is true, correct and complete, (i) charges incurred by you will be honoured by your credit/debit card company, and (iii) you will pay the charges incurred by you at the confirmed prices, including any shipping fees and applicable taxes.
All transaction costs, such as bank charges, related to payment of orders will be the responsibility of the customer. If any transaction charges are incurred on receipt of funds, we reserve the right to deduct goods to the equivalent value of those charges. Except for this, payment by cash, bank transfer and debit card will be taken in full without additional charge. For payment by credit card there will be a surcharge of 2% on the total order transaction including freight and VAT.
We will not pass on any of your details to third parties unless required to do so as part of the order verification or if required to do so by UK governing law. We will take all reasonable care, in so far as it is our power to do so, to keep the details of your order and payment secure. 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 us. Customers should never e-mail their credit/debit card details.
Verify Members' Address
We reserve the right to contact a Member to verify the accuracy of account information (including the Member's correct name and address) that is needed to provide the Member with the information, goods or services he or she has requested from us.
Lapsed Accounts
In order to keep our membership roster current, if a Member does not access his or her account for a period of 90 days or more, we may, at our sole discretion, terminate such Member's account. We will endeavour to notify a Member of our intent to terminate such Member's account by notice to such Member's provided email address at least 7 days prior to deactivation. If the Member fails to respond to such an email notice within 2 days after the day it is sent by us, such Member's account will be terminated as noted above. Therefore, we strongly recommend that all Members keep their accounts and contact data current and in use. While we desire to prevent active accounts from being terminated prematurely, we have no obligation to maintain accounts that appear to have been abandoned. Each Member agrees that failure to access his or her account for 90 days or more conclusively indicates that such Member's account has been abandoned and that the account may therefore be terminated.
