  3. OUR CONTRACT WITH YOU
    1. Our acceptance of your order will take place when we email you to accept it, at which point a legal contract will come into existence between you and us.
    2. If we are unable to accept your order, or unable to accept all of your order, we will inform you of this and will not charge you for the goods we are unable to provide. This might be because the goods are out of stock, because we do not have the size you have ordered, because of unexpected limits on our resources or suppliers which we could not reasonably plan for, because we have identified an error in the price or description of the goods or because we are unable to meet a delivery deadline you have specified.
    3. If we are able to accept part of your order but not all of it, we will inform you as set out in paragraph 3.2 and if you decide that as a result you do not want to proceed with the rest of the order you can cancel it. Please see paragraph 7 which sets out how you can do so.
    4. We will assign an order number to your order and tell you what it is when we accept your order. It will help us if you can tell us the order number whenever you contact us about your order.
  4. OUR GOODS
    1. The images of the goods on our website are for illustrative purposes only. Although we have made every effort to display the colours accurately, we cannot guarantee that a device's display of the colours accurately reflects the colour of the goods. Your goods may therefore vary slightly from those images.
    2. The packaging of the goods may vary from any packaging that may be shown in images on our website.
    3. Leather and suede are both a natural material. They are therefore subject to changes of colouration, shade, tone, appearance and contour. They are also prone to marks and scuffing which can easily be removed by a small polish. We do not consider that any goods that are subject to any of these mean that the goods are not of satisfactory quality.
  5. YOUR AND OUR RIGHTS TO MAKE CHANGES
    1. If you wish to make a change to the goods you have ordered please contact us. We will let you know if the change is possible. If it is possible we will let you know about any changes to the price, the timing of supply or anything else which would be necessary as a result of your requested change and ask you to confirm whether you wish to go ahead with the change. If we cannot make the change or the consequences of making the change are unacceptable to you, you may want to end the contract (see paragraph 7 - Your rights to end the contract).
    2. Different manufacturers’ shoe sizes may differ slightly, for example, size 8 for one manufacturer’s shoe may be slightly bigger or smaller than that of a size 8 for another manufacturer. We are happy to exchange shoes free of charge for our customers in the United Kingdom if they do not fit. Please follow the instructions on our website (https://www.pediwear.co.uk/orders/returns.php#returns-procedure or call customer services on the number given in clause 2.2 or email us at sales@pediwear.co.uk for a return label or to arrange collection.

Please note that in either case however we will not exchange goods, or if having done so might charge you, where paragraph 6.12 applies.
    3. On occasion, there may be minor material changes to the goods we supply, for example, the manufacturer of the rubber sole on a shoe may differ although the overall quality, value and durability of the goods will not be affected.
  6. SUPPLYING YOUR GOODS TO YOU

    2. We will deliver the goods to you as soon as reasonably possible. We will dispatch the goods to you in any event within 30 days after the day on which we accept your order.

      (b) delivery within the delivery deadline was essential (taking into account all the relevant circumstances); or
      (c) you told us before we accepted your order that delivery within the delivery deadline was essential.
    8. If you do not wish to treat the contract as at an end straight away, or do not have the right to do so under paragraph 6.7, you can give us a new deadline for delivery, which must be reasonable, and you can treat the contract as at an end if we do not meet the new deadline.
    9. If you do choose to treat the contract as at an end for late delivery under paragraph 6.7 or paragraph 6.8, you can cancel your order for any of the goods or reject goods that have been delivered.

  7. YOUR RIGHTS TO END THE CONTRACT
    1. Your rights when you end the contract will depend whether there is anything wrong with the goods and when you decide to end the contract:
      (a) If what you have bought is faulty or misdescribed you may have a legal right to end the contract (or to get the goods repaired or replaced or to get some or all of your money back), see paragraph 10;
      (b) If you want to end the contract because of something we have done or have told you we are going to do, see paragraph 7.2;
      (c) If you have just changed your mind about the product, see paragraphs 7.3. You may be able to get a refund if you are within the cooling-off period of 28 days under our guarantee, but this may be subject to deductions under paragraph 8.6 and also, if you are based overseas, you will have to pay the costs of return of any goods.
      (d) In all other cases (if we are not at fault and there is no right to change your mind), see paragraph 7.4; or
      (e) If we can only accept part of your order (see paragraphs 3.2 and 3.3).
    2. If you are ending a contract for a reason set out at (a) to (c) below the contract will end immediately and we will refund you in full for any goods which have not been provided and you may also be entitled to compensation if (c) applies. The reasons are:
      (a) we have told you about an error in the price or description of the goods you have ordered and you do not wish to proceed;
      (b) there is a risk that supply of the goods may be significantly delayed because of events outside our control;
      (c) you have a legal right to end the contract because of something we have done wrong which includes if we have delivered late (see paragraph 6.9). Please note that this does not apply to nor mean faulty or misdescribed goods to which paragraphs 7.1(a) and 10 apply.
    3. Exercising your right to change your mind (Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013). For most goods bought online you have a legal right to change your mind within 14 days and receive a refund. These rights, under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013.
    4. Ending the contract where we are not at fault and there is no right to change your mind. Even if we are not at fault and you do not have a right to change your mind (see paragraph 7.1), you can still end the contract before it is completed, but you may have to pay us compensation. A contract for goods is completed when the goods are delivered. If you want to end a contract before it is completed where we are not at fault and you have not changed your mind, please contact us to let us know. The contract will end immediately and we will refund any sums paid by you for goods not provided although this is subject to paragraph 6.12.

  11. PRICE AND PAYMENT
    1. The price of the goods (which includes VAT if you are based in the United Kingdom) will be the price indicated on the order pages when you placed your order. We take all reasonable care to ensure that the price of the goods advised to you is correct. However please see paragraph 11.3 for what happens if we discover an error in the price of the goods you order.
    2. If the rate of VAT changes between your order date and the date we supply the goods, we will adjust the rate of VAT that you pay, unless you have already paid for the goods in full before the change in the rate of VAT takes effect.
    3. It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the goods we sell may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices before accepting your order so that, where the goods correct price at your order date is less than our stated price at your order date, we will charge the lower amount. If the goods correct price at your order date is higher than the price stated to you, we will contact you for your instructions before we accept your order. If we accept and process your order where a pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could reasonably have been recognised by you as a mispricing, we may end the contract, refund you any sums you have paid and require the return of any goods provided to you.
    4. We accept payment by way of Visa, Mastercard, AmEx, JCB, Maestro, Bank Transfer, and PayPal. You must pay for the goods before we dispatch them.
    5. If you do not make any payment to us by the due date we may charge interest to you on the overdue amount at the rate of 4% a year above the base lending rate of [Your bank] from time to time. This 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 judgement. You must pay us interest together with any overdue amount.
  12. OUR RESPONSIBILITY FOR LOSS OR DAMAGE SUFFERED BY YOU
    1. If we fail to comply with these terms, we are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breaking this contract or our failing to use reasonable care and skill, but we are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable. Loss or damage is foreseeable if either it is obvious that it will happen or if, at the time the contract was made, both we and you knew it might happen, for example, if you discussed it with us during the sales process.
    2. We do not exclude any liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so. This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors; for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; for breach of your legal rights in relation to the goods including your right to receive goods which are as described and match information we provided to you, are of satisfactory quality, are fit for any particular purpose made known to us, and for defective goods under the Consumer Protection Act 1987.

    We will only use your personal information as set out in our privacy policy at www.pediwear.co.uk/orders/privacy.php
  14. OTHER IMPORTANT TERMS
    1. We may transfer our rights and obligations under these terms to another organisation. We will always tell you in writing if this happens and we will ensure that the transfer will not affect your rights under the contract.
    2. You may only transfer your rights or your obligations under these terms to another person if we agree to this in writing.

    3. This contract is between you and us. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms, except as explained in paragraph 14.2 in respect of our guarantee. Neither of us will need to get the agreement of any other person in order to end the contract or make any changes to these terms.
    4. Each of the paragraphs of these terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.
    5. If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking this contract, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date.
    6. These terms are governed by English law and you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the goods in the English courts. If you live in Scotland you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the goods in either the Scottish or the English courts.
