5.YOUR PURCHASE

5.1 By placing an order on our website, you warrant that:

(a) You are legally capable of entering into binding contracts; and

(b) You are at least 18 years old. If you are under 18 we may need the express consent from your parent or legal guardian.

6.HOW THE CONTRACT IS FORMED BETWEEN YOU AND US

6.1 Our shopping pages will guide you through the steps you need to take to place an order with us. Our order process allows you to check and amend any errors before submitting your order to us. Please take the time to read and check your order at each page of the order process.

6.2 When you purchase Products from our Website, and you have pressed the “COMPLETE ORDER” button we shall confirm your Order via email and assign you with an order number via email to confirm your purchase. This email is NOT an acceptance of your Order, just a confirmation that we have received it (“Order Confirmation”) The Order Confirmation will confirm the following: a description of the Products ordered; the total price of the goods; the applicable delivery charges, information relating to your right to cancel.

If your products are returned to us by the postal service because you haven't taken delivery, we will contact you to let you know. If the product has been returned to us as a result of our error, we will re-send the product to you by standard post for no extra charge.

If you provide an incorrect delivery address and the order is returned to us, or you fail to take delivery, we will either:

- Re-deliver the product to the correct address, if provided, subject to payment of additional costs, or

- Refund the value of the product (excluding delivery costs) dependant on whether it remains in a resalable condition. You will be responsible for any additional charges incurred including re-delivery costs.

If the order is not returned to us, you will not be eligible for a refund or re-delivery. Project Blu accepts no responsibility for deliveries made to incorrect or incomplete addresses provided by customers. In this case, you will need to place a new order with the correct details.

Please note, orders can be sent outside normal working hours and we may not be able to amend a delivery address once the order has been placed. 

6.3 The contract between us will only be formed when we send you the “Dispatch Confirmation”. The Dispatch Confirmation is the email that we send to you when we have accepted your Order and it will be sent to you on dispatch to you of your Order (unless we have been unable to fulfil your Order or if you have cancelled the Order beforehand).

6.4 Please quote the order number in all subsequent correspondence with us. All prices for the Products and services include VAT unless otherwise stated.

6.5 If we are unable to supply you with a Product, for example because that Product is not in stock or no longer available or because we cannot meet your requested delivery date or because of an error in the price on our site, we will inform you of this by email and we will not process your order. If you have already paid for the Products, we will refund you the full amount including any delivery costs charged as soon as possible.

7.OUR RIGHT TO VARY THESE TERMS

7.1 We amend these Terms from time to time. Please look at the top of this page to see when these Terms were last updated and which Terms were changed.

7.2 Every time you order Products from us, the Terms in force at the time of your order will apply to the Contract between you and us.

7.3 We may revise these Terms as they apply to your order from time to time to reflect the following circumstances:

(a) changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements; and

(b) due to any unforeseen circumstances affecting the manufacturing process.

7.4 If we have to revise these Terms as they apply to your order, we will contact you to give you reasonable advance notice of the changes and let you know how to cancel the Contract if you are not happy with the changes. You may cancel either in respect of all the affected Products or just the Products you have yet to receive.

8.YOUR CONSUMER RIGHT OF RETURN AND REFUND

8.1 If you are a consumer, you have a legal right to cancel a Contract during the period set out below in clause 8.3. This means that during the relevant period if you change your mind or decide for any other reason that you do not want to receive or keep a Product, you can notify us of your decision to cancel the Contract and receive a refund. Advice about your legal right to cancel the Contract is available from your local Citizens' Advice Bureau or Trading Standards office.

8.2 However, this cancellation right does not apply in the case of any bespoke or customised goods which have been customised in accordance with your specific request.

8.3 Your legal right to cancel a Contract starts from the date of the Dispatch Confirmation (the date on which we email 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, as set out in the table below:

(a) Your legal right to cancel an Order starts from the date of the Dispatch Confirmation (the date on which we email you to confirm our acceptance of your Order and which is the date on which the contract between us is formed), and the end date is the end of 30 days after the day on which you receive the Product (for example, if you receive the Products on Monday 4 August, the end date is Thursday 3rd September). If your Order consists of multiple products the end date is 30 days after the day on which you receive the last of the separate Products ordered. This 30 day period is known as your “Cooling-off” period.

8.4 To cancel a Contract, you just need to let us know that you have decided to cancel. You can also contact our Customer Services team by email, telephone or post. If you are emailing us or writing to us please include details of your order to help us to identify it. If you send us your cancellation notice by email or by post, then your cancellation is effective from the date you send us the email or post the letter to us. For example, you will have given us notice in time as long as you get your letter into the last post on the last day of the cancellation period or email us before midnight on that day.

8.5 If you cancel your Contract we will:

(a) refund you the price you paid for the Products, less the cost of delivery to you. 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.

(b) make any refunds due to you as soon as possible and in any event within the deadlines indicated below:

(i) if you have received the Product and we have not offered to collect it from you: 30 days after the day on which we receive the Product back from you or, if earlier, the day on which you provide us with evidence that you have sent the Product back to us. For information about how to return a Product to us, see clause 8.8;

(ii) if you have not received the Product or you have received it and we have offered to collect it from you: 30 days after you inform us of your decision to cancel the Contract.

8.6 If you have returned the Products to us under this clause 8 because they are faulty or mis-described, we will refund the price of the Products in full, together with any applicable delivery charges, and any reasonable costs you incur in returning the item to us.

8.7 We will refund you on the credit card or debit card used by you to pay. If you used a gift card to pay for the Product we may refund you by issuing a new gift card.

8.8 If a Product has 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.

(b) unless the Product is faulty or not as described (in this case, see clause 8.6), you will be responsible for the cost of returning the Products to us. If the Product is one which cannot be returned by post, we estimate that if you use the carrier which delivered the Product to you, these costs should not exceed the sums we charged you for delivery.

8.9 Because you are a consumer, we are under a legal duty to supply Products that are in conformity with this Contract. As a consumer, you have legal rights in relation to Products that are faulty or not as described. These legal rights are not affected by your right of return and refund in this clause 8 or anything else in these Terms. Advice about your legal rights is available from your local Citizens' Advice Bureau or Trading Standards office.

8.10 All product costs are charged in the currency shown at checkout - for example Pounds (GBP) on projectblu.co, Dollars (USD) on usd.projectblu.co and Euros (EUR) on eur.projectblu.co. 

9.DELIVERY

9.1 We will contact you via email when your order has been dispatched and this email will have a tracking code so you can monitor the progress of your delivery. Occasionally our delivery to you may be affected by an Event Outside Our Control. See clause 16 for our responsibilities when this happens.

9.2 If no one is available at your address to take delivery, then a note left by the delivering company will have further instructions for you to follow, if you need our help in tracking the package then please contact us on hello@projectblu.co.

9.3 Delivery of an Order shall be completed when we deliver the Products to the address you gave us or you or a carrier organised by you collect them from us and the Products will be your responsibility from that time.

9.4 You own the Products once we have received payment in full, including all applicable delivery charges.

9.5 If we miss the 30 day delivery deadline for any Products then you may cancel your Order straight away if any of the following apply:

(a) we have refused to deliver the Products;

(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.

9.6 If you do not wish to cancel your order straight away, or do not have the right to do so under clause 9.5, you can give us a new deadline for delivery, which must be reasonable, and you can cancel your Order if we do not meet the new deadline.

9.7 If you do choose to cancel your Order for late delivery under clause 9.6 or clause 9.7, you can do so for just some of the Products or all of them, unless splitting them up would significantly reduce their value. If the Products have been delivered to you, you will have to return them to us or allow us to collect them, and we will pay the costs of this. After you cancel your Order we will refund any sums you have paid to us for the cancelled Products and their delivery.

9.8 All delivery and shipping costs are chargedi n the currency shown at checkout - for example Pounds (GBP) on projectblu.co, Dollars (USD) on usd.projectblu.co and Euros (EUR) on eur.projectblu.co.

If we discover an error in the price of the Products you have ordered we will contact you to inform you of this error and we will give you the option of continuing to purchase the Product at the correct price or cancelling your order. We will not process your order until we have your instructions. If we are unable to contact you using the contact details you provided during the order process, we will treat the order as cancelled and notify you in writing.

18.3 This Contract is between you and us. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms, whether under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 or otherwise.

18.4 Each of the paragraphs of these Terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful or unenforceable, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.

18.5 If we fail to insist that you perform any of your obligations under these Terms, or if we do not enforce our rights against you, or if we delay in doing so, that will not mean that we have waived our rights against you and will not mean that you do not have to comply with those obligations. If we do waive a default by you, we will only do so in writing, and that will not mean that we will automatically waive any later default by you.

18.6 As a consumer, please note that these Terms are governed by English law. This means a Contract for the purchase of Products through our site and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with it will be governed by English law.
