Please read these terms and conditions carefully, they contain important information about your rights and obligations!
- Introduction
- Please read these terms and conditions carefully before using the web site operated by Laptech Limited (‘Laptech’ ‘we’ or ‘us’). In particular, we draw your attention to clauses 10 (Applicability of online materials) and 14 (Liability). By accessing and browsing this site, you accept, without limitation or qualification, these terms and conditions, from time to time in force, and you agree to be legally bound by them as they apply to your use of or access to our web site.
- If you do not wish to be bound by these terms and conditions then you may not use our web site.
- Nature of our web site
- Our web site is a place for you to select and order nautical guides, atlases, maps and related products (the ‘Products’) and for you to browse news articles, new information and other items that may be posted from time to time, for your general interest and entertainment. Our web site describes the Products in more detail.
- Please note that you must be over 18 years to purchase the Products, using the payment method displayed on our web site.
- From time to time we may offer free samples of our Products that can be downloaded directly to your computer. We may collect information about you when you download samples. Please see our Privacy Policy for further information. Where applicable these terms and conditions will apply in full to the use of free samples.
- Buying Products on our web site
- To order a product you will need to follow the ordering procedures set out on our order page. (When you visit our order page the procedure you will follow will depend on whether or not you have an account with Laptech.)
- If you do not have an account with us, we must receive payment of the whole of the price for the goods that you order before your order can be accepted. Once payment has been received by us we will confirm that your order has been accepted by sending an e-mail to you at the e-mail address you provide in your order form. Our acceptance of your order brings into existence a legally binding contract between us.
- Details of our prices for the Products, and the procedures for payment and delivery are displayed on our web site. If you do not have an account with us, you must pay by credit or debit card at the time of order. The price of any Product is the price in force at the date and time of your order. We may change the price of any Product before you place an order. We try to ensure that our prices displayed on our web site are accurate but the price on your order will need to be validated by us as part of the acceptance procedure (see the paragraph below). We will inform you if a Product’s correct price is higher than that stated in your order and you may cancel the order and decide whether or not to order the product at the correct price.
- Laptech is entitled to refuse any order placed by you. If your order is accepted, we will confirm acceptance to you by online electronic means (‘Confirmation’) to the e-mail address you have given us on registration or on ordering. The order will then be fulfilled by the date set out in the Confirmation or, if the Confirmation does not contain such a date, as soon as reasonably possible.
- You undertake that all details you provide to us for the purpose of purchasing goods or services which may be offered by us on our web site will be correct, that the credit or debit card, or any electronic cash, which you use is your own and that there are sufficient funds or credit facilities to cover the cost of any goods or services. We reserve the right to obtain validation of your credit or debit card details before providing you with any goods or services.
- Cancellation by us
- You should be aware that it may not always be possible for Laptech to fulfil orders due to factors beyond our control. We reserve the right to cancel the contract between us at our sole discretion and for any reason, including but not restricted to the following reasons:
- we have insufficient stock to deliver the goods you have ordered;
- we do not deliver to your area; or
- one or more of the goods you ordered was listed at an incorrect price due to a typographical error.
- If we do cancel your contract we will notify you by e-mail and will re-credit to your account any sum deducted by us from your credit card as soon as possible but in any event within 30 days of your order.
- You should be aware that it may not always be possible for Laptech to fulfil orders due to factors beyond our control. We reserve the right to cancel the contract between us at our sole discretion and for any reason, including but not restricted to the following reasons:
- Delivery of goods to you
- We will deliver the goods ordered by you to the address you give us for delivery at the time you make your order.
- Delivery will be made as soon as possible after your order is accepted.
- You will become the owner of the goods you have ordered when they have been delivered to you. Once goods have been delivered to you they will be held at your own risk and we will not be liable for their loss or destruction.
- Returns
- This clause 6.1. and the following clause 6.2. do not apply to orders placed by any business or in connection with any business. If you are a person who purchases goods for private use and not in connection with any business you may return any Products you have purchased within 7 working days of delivery for any reason (including if you simply change your mind). To do so you must notify us in writing or other durable medium (including e-mail) within those 7 working days. You will then be entitled to a refund from Laptech, which will be paid as soon as possible, but in any event within 30 days of Laptech receiving the products being returned by you. You must arrange for and pay the costs of returning the Products to Laptech – on request, we will collect the Products from you, but the cost of this will be charged to you and we may deduct this from the refund. While in your possession, you must keep any Products you intend to return to us in good condition.
- If the Product to be returned is in the form of a compact disc, the packaging containing the disc must not have been opened at any time. If it has been opened you are not permitted to return it unless clause 6.3. applies.
- If:
- the Product delivered is not what you ordered; or
- the Product delivered is not of a satisfactory quality;
- Laptech will, at its option, deliver to you a replacement Product or refund to you the price paid and your reasonable costs of returning the Products. For the avoidance of doubt this clause 6iii applies whether you are purchasing the Products as a business or as a private consumer.
- If you have any complaints, you should direct them to us via e-mail at sales@laptech.co.in or by post at Laptech Limited, 28 Reigate Hill, Reigate, Surrey, RH2 9NG.
