1.3 Contracts made by you for purchases via www.gordonsdirect.com are made with Gordons Direct. Gordons Direct accepts orders for non-commercial and domestic use only. We reserve the right to reject or cancel your order if we believe you are ordering our products for business or other re-sale purposes. We may apply limits to some of our products to ensure stock availability, or due to an agreement made between us and our suppliers.

All orders are subject to availability.

1.4 You must be 18 years of age or older to use this site. Persons under the age of 18 years must only do so under the supervision of a parent/guardian. If you do not meet these requirements please do not use www.gordonsdirect.com.

1.5 Email is an acceptable form of long-distance communication and will be used primarily for communication between you and Gordons Direct.

1.6 No contract for sale of goods will exist between you and Gordons Direct until such point that Gordons Direct accepts your order. Your order represents an offer. When you place an order to purchase a product from www.gordonsdirect.com, we will send you an initial email acknowledging receipt of your order and containing the details of your order. At this stage your order remains an ‘offer’ and no binding contract exists between you and Gordons Direct.

1.7 Acceptance of your order by Gordons Direct brings into existence a legally binding agreement between us. Acceptance is complete once Gordons Direct receives payment in full for the goods you have ordered, and dispatches your order. When your order is dispatched, we will send you a second email containing your invoice and confirmation that we have dispatched your order to you. Acceptance of contract will be deemed to have been effectively communicated to you at the time a confirmation email is sent (regardless of your receipt of such). 

1.8. Gordons Direct advises that as soon as you receive any communication from us, you should print it and retain a copy for your records.

2. Your information

2.1 In accordance with our Privacy Policy your personal details will not be passed on to any 3rd party, other than for the purpose of order fulfillment. Please view our Privacy Policy for further information.

2.2 All details provided by you must be correct. You agree that the credit/debit card you are using for payment is your own and is not being used fraudulently, and that there are sufficient funds to cover the transaction (including delivery costs). Any change in your personal details should be indicated to Gordons Direct by email to info@gordonsdirect.com.

2.3 It is a criminal offence to use a false name or invalid credit/debit card to order. Offenders will be prosecuted, and will be prohibited from using www.gordonsdirect.com for the purposes of placing a future order.

2.4 At time of registration a customer can create an Account, by providing an email address and password. A customer is responsible for all actions taken under their Account.

3. Delivery information

3.1 Gordons Direct intend to deliver every order within 5 normal working days* from the date of contract. Wherever possible Gordons Direct will endeavour to deliver to you within this timeframe. It is however possible that an order may be delayed, and should this occur Gordons Direct reserve the right to extend this delivery period up to a maximum period of 10 normal working days.

* The term 'normal working days' means Monday-Friday, excluding bank and legal holidays.

3.2 Failure to deliver your order within 10 working days constitutes a failure on the part of Gordons Direct to deliver to you the customer, and should this occur you have the right to cancel your order with a full refund. Please refer to our Delivery Information for more information. Please note that should our courier attempt to deliver an order within this stated timeframe, this constitutes us fulfilling our obligation to deliver within the stated timeframe. This refers only to delivery within the aforementioned timeframe, and does not refer to any other aspect of our performance of contract of sale. It does not affect your right to cancel your order as per section 4 of these Terms & Conditions - 'Order Cancellation & Return of Goods'.

3.3 The time period stated for order fulfillment is approximate only and Gordons Direct accepts no liability if we are unable to meet it due to acts of God, war, flood, fire, labour disputes, strikes, lock-outs, riots or civil commotion, malicious damage, explosion, governmental action or for any other reason beyond our control.

3.4 In the unlikely event that an item is out of stock and we are unable to fully complete your order, your order will be cancelled or part-fulfilled. If this situation occurs we will contact you by email and amend both your order and your payment accordingly. We will not place your order on back order.

3.5 Orders can only be delivered to addresses within the United Kingdom. As described in our Delivery Information, we reserve the right to add a surcharge for delivery to certain regions of the Scottish Islands and Highlands. We will in this instance contact you first to confirm your desire to proceed with your order. 

4. Order Cancellation & Return of Goods

4.1 An order may be cancelled upon request by email, up to but not including the point where payment has been taken by us. From this point an order has entered our dispatch process, and cannot be cancelled until it has been received following delivery. Following receipt of goods the customer can cancel the contract between themselves and Gordons Direct by emailing returns@gordonsdirect.com in accordance with our Returns Policy. For further information please refer to our Returns Policy.

4.2 On cancellation of the contract of sale between yourself and Gordons Direct, Gordons Direct will endeavour to refund your credit/debit card the appropriate amount within 7 days, and not later than 30 days.

4.3 Responsibility for returning goods to Gordons Direct rests with you the customer.

Failure to return goods promptly following cancellation of an order will result in a refund being delayed. You the customer are liable for costs associated with return, unless the goods are faulty or were delivered in error or outside of the agreed delivery period, in which case Gordons Direct will be responsible for costs associated with return. In these circumstances Gordons Direct will refund to your credit/debit card the cost of return delivery in addition to any refund you are entitled to receive.

In the event that goods are returned to Gordons Direct and are subsequently found to be in a used, damaged or otherwise unsaleable condition, or in any condition other than that which the goods were sent to the customer, Gordons Direct is not obliged to offer a refund to the customer. In this instance Gordons Direct will offer to post the goods back to the customer, or dispose of goods on the customer's behalf.

For further information on returning goods to Gordons Direct please refer to our Return of Goods Procedure.

4.4 Should you fail to return goods to Gordons Direct within 30 days of authorisation to do so, you will be liable for the cost of the goods, the direct costs incurred by Gordons Direct in recovering the goods, and we will commence proceedings against you for breach of your statutory duty to take reasonable care. We will not automatically accept any returns after 30 days.

4.5 Should you return goods to Gordons Direct without prior authorisation to do so (in accordance with our Return of Goods Procedure) your refund might be delayed.

4.6 Should you return goods which you allege are defective but are subsequently found not to be so, Gordons Direct then reserve the right to charge a reasonable depreciation or handling fee, depending on the specific circumstances.

4.7 Goods can only be returned (as per our Return of Goods Procedure) by post to Web Returns Dept, Gordons Direct, 74 Scarva Road, Banbridge, Co. Down, BT32 3QD, Northern Ireland.

4.8 Gordons Direct reserve the right to charge a reasonable administration fee to cover our costs, if a customer fails to meet any of the conditions described above when cancelling an order or returning goods to Gordons Direct.

4.9 In the unlikely event that you receive goods or quantity of goods different to that ordered, or goods that are damaged or defective, Gordons Direct shall offer replacement or refund, in accordance with our Returns Policy.

5. Guarantee & Risk

5.1 All items are covered for fault/manufacturer defect by Gordons Direct for a period of one year, except where otherwise stated.

5.2 Fault/manufacturer defect does not include accidental or intentional damage, nor damage caused by the customer through misuse. Where an item, upon return, is found to have been damaged for any reason other than fault/manufacturer defect the customer will be charged for that item, all costs associated with return, and any costs borne by Gordons Direct or the relevant manufacturer in determining the cause of fault. You the customer can have the item(s) returned to you, or Gordons Direct can dispose of it/them on your behalf. Failure by you the customer to instruct Gordons Direct within 10 working days of a particular course of action to take will be interpreted as authorisation to dispose of the item(s) on your behalf.

WEEE Directive

a) The Waste Electrical & Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive is now UK law. This legislation allows consumers to have their Electrical & Electronic waste disposed of, free of charge. Recycling reduces the environmental and health risks associated with sending electrical goods to landfill.

Under the WEEE Regulations, all new electrical goods should now be marked with a symbol indicating a crossed-out wheeled bin. This shows that they were manufactured after 13th August 2005, and should be disposed of separately from normal household waste so that they can be recycled. 

b) Gordons Direct is pleased to offer our customers free take-back of their WEEE on a like-for-like basis when they purchase a new electrical or electronic product from us.

For example, if a customer purchases a pair of hair straighteners from www.gordonsdirect.com, Gordons Direct will arrange for their old hair straighteners to be safely disposed of.

c) Customers must return their WEEE to the following address within 14 days of receiving their new Electrical or Electronic product from www.gordonsdirect.com:

WEEE Return
Gordons Direct
74 Scarva Road
Banbridge
Co. Down
BT32 3QD
Northern Ireland

The customer is responsible for any postage costs they incur in returning the product to Gordons Direct.

d) Like-for-like basis: for the avoidance of doubt, the customer should contact Gordons Direct by emailing info@gordonsdirect.com before they return any WEEE, in order for Gordons Direct to confirm that the product they intend to return classifies as a like-for-like replacement. Any product that we deem is not like-for-like cannot be returned to Gordons Direct under the WEEE Directive.

Waste Batteries and Accumulators Regulations

a) The Waste Batteries and Accumulators Regulations allow consumers to have their waste portable batteries disposed of, free of charge. Recycling reduces the environmental and health risks associated with sending waste batteries to landfill.

b) Gordons Direct is pleased to offer our customers free take-back of their waste portable batteries. These can be returned in person to the following address:

Waste Batteries Return
Gordons Direct
74 Scarva Road
Banbridge
Co. Down
BT32 3QD
Northern Ireland 

Please note that in addition to this, you can find your local waste portable battery recycling facility at www.recyclenow.com. Most supermarkets and shops that sell batteries will have collection bins for used batteries, and some town halls, libraries or schools may also set up collection points. End-users may find stores in their local area more accessible.
