Your Contract

End of the cancellation period

Your Contract is for Goods which are not delivered in consignments on separate days.

The end date is the end of 28 days after the day on which you receive the Goods. Example: if we provide you with a Dispatch Confirmation on 1 January and you receive the Goods on 10 January you may cancel at any time between 1 January and the end of the day on 7 February.

Your Contract is for Goods which are delivered in consignments on separate days.

The end date is 28 days after the day on which you receive the last consignment of the Goods or the last of the separate Goods ordered.
Example: if we provide you with a Dispatch Confirmation on 1 January and you receive the first instalment of your Goods on 10 January and the last instalment or last separate item of your Goods on 15 January you may cancel in respect of all instalments and any or all of the separate Goods at any time between 1 January and the end of the day on 12 February.

 

 

Your Contract is for the regular delivery of Goods over a set period.

The end date is 28 days after the day on which you receive the first delivery of the Goods.
Example: if we provide you with a Dispatch Confirmation on 1 January in respect of Goods to be delivered at regular intervals over a year and you receive the first delivery of your Goods on 10 January, you may cancel at any time between 1 January and the end of the day on 7 February. 7 February is the last day of the cancellation period in respect of all Goods to arrive during the year.

 

Your legal right to cancel a Contract starts from the date of the Dispatch Confirmation (the date on which we e-mail you to confirm our acceptance of your Order), which is when the Contract between us is formed. Your deadline for cancelling the Contract then depends on what you have ordered and how it is delivered.

 

To cancel or amend a Contract for Goods, you need to let us know that you have decided to cancel. If you wish to exercise this right, please contact the Wilco Direct Customer Services Team, by phone, email or letter sent by post or using the online form on our website. Please include details of your Order to help us to identify it. If you send us your cancellation notice by e-mail or by post, then your cancellation is effective from the date you send us the e-mail or post the letter to us.

13.1 If you cancel your Contract, Wilco Direct will:

(a) refund you the price you paid for the Goods. However, please note we are permitted by law to reduce your refund to reflect any reduction in the value of the Goods, if this has been caused by your handling them in a way which would not be permitted in a shop. If we refund you the price paid before we are able to inspect the Goods and later discover you have handled them in an unacceptable way, you must pay us an appropriate amount; 

(b) refund any delivery costs you have paid; and 

(c) make any refunds due to you as soon as possible and in any event within the deadlines indicated below:
1. if you have received the Goods and we have not offered to collect it from you: 14 days after the day on which we receive the Goods back from you or, if earlier, the day on which you provide us with evidence that you have sent the Goods back to us;

2. if you have not received the Goods or you have received them and we have offered to collect them from you 14 days after you inform us of your decision to cancel the Contract.

13.2 If you have returned the Goods to us under this clause 7 because they are faulty or mis-described, we will refund the price of the Goods in full, together with any applicable delivery charges.

13.3 We will refund you on the credit card or debit card used by you to pay. If you used vouchers to pay for the Goods, we may refund you in vouchers.

13.4 If Goods have been delivered to you before you decide to cancel your Contract: 

(a) then you must return it to us without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days after the day on which you let us know that you wish to cancel the Contract. You can either send it back (and we recommend using a trackable service and obtaining proof of postage), return it to us in-store or hand it back to our authorised carrier.

You must take reasonable care to ensure that the Goods are not damaged in transit; this includes ensuring that they are securely packaged. Wilco Direct will not be responsible for lost or damaged returns. 

(b) unless the Goods are faulty or not as described (in this case, see clause 7.2), you will be responsible for the cost of returning the Goods to us. If the Goods cannot be returned by post, we may offer to collect the Goods from you in which case we will charge you the direct cost to us of collection which will be £7.50.

13.5 Because you are a consumer, we are under a legal duty to supply Goods that are in conformity with this Contract. As a consumer, you have legal rights in relation to Goods that are faulty or not as described. These legal rights are not affected by your right of return and refund in this clause 7 or anything else in these Conditions. Advice about your legal rights is available from your local Citizens' Advice Bureau or Trading Standards office.

13.6 Due to the speed of our ordering process, Wilco Direct may not be able to cancel your order before despatch. If you exercise your right to cancel prior to you receiving the Goods, Wilco Direct will attempt to stop the goods in transit, however if this is not possible and the Goods are delivered, you will be able to return your Goods in line with your rights outlined above.

14. After-sales Service and Guarantees

14.2. Except where expressly stated otherwise, all warranties are non-transferable and only apply for the original Customer. Please note that, if you buy Goods with a Wilco Direct warranty, we are guaranteeing that those Goods will work during the warranty period. If you replace the Goods during the warranty period, the warranty does not start again. You will only benefit from the remaining period of the original warranty. This does not affect your statutory rights if the Goods are faulty or not as described.
