Code of Practice and Terms and Conditions

1. Status of Terms
1.1 These terms constitute a legal document ("the Agreement"), which sets out the rights and obligations of you as a purchaser ("you"), and those of South West Optics ("South West Optics", "we" or "us"), in relation to the services and products offered by us through this site or any of the other sites owned by us. By registering for South West Optics services, you agree to the terms of this Agreement, and you re-affirm that agreement every time you use any of our services.
1.2 You agree to:
1.2.1 provide true, accurate, current and complete information about you as prompted by our registration form (such information being the "Registration Data"); and
1.2.2 maintain and promptly update the Registration Data to keep it true, accurate, current and complete. If you provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, or South West Optics has reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, South West Optics has the right to suspend or terminate your account, cease supply and refuse you any and all current or future use of the South West Optics site (or any portion of it).

2. Place of performance and applicable law.
Unless otherwise specified, the materials on this site are directed solely at those who access this site from the United Kingdom mainland. South West Optics makes no representation that any product referred to in the materials on this site is appropriate for use, or available, in other locations. Those who choose to access this site from other locations are responsible for compliance with local laws if and to the extent local laws are applicable. English law shall govern this Agreement. You and we each submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts in relation to disputes arising out of this Agreement.

3. Placing an order

3.1 A notice will be displayed on your web browser before you submit an order with South West Optics ("the Pre-contract Notice"). The Pre-contract Notice contains important information such as a description, price (including export taxes) and delivery charges of the good or services ordered. South West Optics suggests that you print off a hard copy of the notice or save a copy to your hard drive for your own records.
3.2 Goods supplied to you by South West Optics will correspond with their prices and description. If at any time this is not the case South West Optics will give you the right to reject the goods within a reasonable time period for a full refund. You will also be entitled to claim for any relevant consequential losses.

4. Right to cancel
4.1 You have the right to cancel any contract within 7 working days without giving any reason. The 7 working days will start the day after receipt of the goods.

4.3 Where South West Optics have supplied goods to you, you must take reasonable care of the goods in your possession pending their return to South West Optics. South West Optics will only accept the returned goods in their original packaging and which do not exhibit signs of wear or tear. Any use of the delivered goods beyond that necessary to inspect the goods on delivery will invalidate your right to cancel the contract.
4.4 Where South West Optics have supplied goods to you, these goods must be returned to South West Optics, or be available for collection by South West Optics. The cost of returning goods is non-refundable, and where South West Optics collects goods, the direct cost of such will be deducted from the refund. South West Optics reserves the right to apply a 10% restocking charge. Other than for faulty returns, the original cost of sending the goods will also be deducted from the final refund.
4.5 Once notice of your cancellation has been received, South West Optics will make a refund of the contract price to your debit or credit card used to purchase the goods. This will be done within 30 days of the date of cancellation.
