6. Buying Goods and Services via the Website

The Website may offer you the opportunity to purchase goods and services. Some of these goods and services will be provided directly by us (and we will notify you in each instance where we are the seller). In such cases the legal contract for the provision of these goods and services will therefore be made directly between you and THE CARRIAGE COMMENTATOR LIMITED, and will be governed by THE CARRIAGE COMMENTATOR LIMITED Selling Terms for Goods and Services set out in paragraph 6.1, together with any additional terms notified to you at the time of sale. Alternatively, other goods and services available through the Website may either be:

1. A) provided by a third party through a third party website linked to or framed by the Website; or

2. B) provided by a third party through a third party website which includes THE CARRIAGE COMMENTATOR LIMITED or one of our brand’s branding however the goods and/or services are provided by the third party; or

3. C) provided by us acting as agent for a third party.

In either of the above circumstances (A, B or C), the legal contract for the goods and services provided will be made between you and that third party (the “Merchant”) and the Merchant’s terms and conditions will apply to the sale and supply of the goods and services (the “Merchandise”) in addition to these User Terms. Accordingly, we cannot give any undertaking that the goods you purchase from third party sellers through our Website will be of satisfactory quality and any such warranties are hereby disclaimed by us absolutely. However, this disclaimer by us, does not affect your statutory rights against that third party seller.

THE CARRIAGE COMMENTATOR LIMITED refers to the e-commerce as described in the previous paragraph as “Merchant Sales” and the following Merchant Rules apply. You should carefully read the Merchant’s own terms and conditions in addition to these Merchant Rules and User Terms.

Third Party Merchant Rules

When purchasing Merchandise you acknowledge that:

(i) the Merchant (and not THE CARRIAGE COMMENTATOR LIMITED) is solely responsible for the fulfilment of orders for any Merchandise and for its quality, suitability and fitness for purpose;

(ii) the selection of any Merchant or the purchase of any item of Merchandise from the information available on the Website or from the Merchant via the Merchant’s website or otherwise, and/or recommendations made to you by the site or otherwise, is solely your choice. Any disputes or questions relating to the Merchandise will be directed to the Merchant in question and you acknowledge that THE CARRIAGE COMMENTATOR LIMITED will have no responsibility, obligations or liability in relation to the Merchandise;

(iii) any Merchant’s data protection practices may differ from those adhered to by THE CARRIAGE COMMENTATOR LIMITED. THE CARRIAGE COMMENTATOR LIMITED is not responsible for, and has no control over, any data that is submitted to, or collected by, Merchants; and

(iv) THE CARRIAGE COMMENTATOR LIMITED is not responsible or liable directly or indirectly for any charge or loss whatsoever and howsoever arising or resulting from your use of or reliance on any content, material or goods or services available through, on or from any Merchant or Merchant’s websites.

It is important that you check the privacy policy, terms and conditions of use and content of any Merchant’s website and any Merchant information accessible to you from the Website prior to purchasing any Merchandise.

6.1 THE CARRIAGE COMMENTATOR LIMITED Selling Terms for Goods and Services

For goods and services sold directly by THE CARRIAGE COMMENTATOR LIMITED refer to Selling Terms under this paragraph 6.1 which will apply in addition to the User Terms. In the event that there are other terms on the Website referring to the sale of such goods and services that conflict with the Selling Terms, the terms on the Website will prevail.

Examples of the goods that THE CARRIAGE COMMENTATOR LIMITED sells are DVDs, books, photographs and clothes. The specific terms that relate to “goods” therefore only apply to all physical goods sold through the Website by THE CARRIAGE COMMENTATOR LIMITED.

Example of the services that THE CARRIAGE COMMENTATOR LIMITED sells are video downloads and/or streams, digital downloads of books or articles, podcasts and/or access to online ‘paid for content’. The specific terms that relate to “services” therefore only apply to all non-physical items sold through the Website by THE CARRIAGE COMMENTATOR LIMITED.

Your Status:

BY PLACING AN ORDER THROUGH THIS WEBSITE, YOU PROMISE THAT YOU ARE AT LEAST 18 YEARS OLD. IF YOU ARE UNDER THE AGE OF 18 YEARS OLD, YOU MUST ENSURE THAT A PARENT OR GUARDIAN PURCHASES THE GOODS OR SERVICES ON YOUR BEHALF. YOU SHOULD PRINT OUT AND KEEP A COPY OF THESE USER TERMS FOR YOUR REFERENCE IN RESPECT OF ANY GOODS OR SERVICES YOU BUY FROM US.

How the contract is formed between you and THE CARRIAGE COMMENTATOR LIMITED for the purchase of goods

After placing an order, you will receive an email from us acknowledging that we have received your order. Please note that this does not mean that your order has been accepted. Your order constitutes an offer to us to sell the goods to you.

All orders are subject to acceptance by us, and, where you order online we will confirm such acceptance to you by sending you an e-mail that confirms the goods have been dispatched (the “Dispatch Notice”). The contract between us for the provision of the goods will only be formed when we send you the Dispatch Notice. The contract will relate only to those goods whose dispatch we have confirmed in the Dispatch Notice. We will not be obliged to supply any other goods which may have been part of your order until the dispatch of such other goods is confirmed in a separate Dispatch Notice.

How the contract is formed between you and THE CARRIAGE COMMENTATOR LIMITED for the purchase of services

After you place an order for services, the contract between THE CARRIAGE COMMENTATOR LIMITED and you will only be formed when we make the services, including any digital content, available to you for download or access. THE CARRIAGE COMMENTATOR LIMITED reserves the right, at its sole discretion to reject any orders it receives.

Purchase and delivery of goods and services

Purchase

(a) Your transaction will be processed in a secure environment.

Price

(b) The price of any goods or services will be as quoted on the Website from time to time, except in cases of obvious error. Prices are liable to change at any time, but changes will not affect orders in respect of which we have already sent you a Dispatch Notice unless in the event of a mistake (as set out below).

(c) Despite our best efforts, some of the goods on our Website may be incorrectly priced. We will normally verify prices as part of our dispatch procedures so that, where the price of goods is less than the stated price, we will charge the lower amount when dispatching the goods to you. If the correct price of the goods is higher than the price stated on the Website, we will normally, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before dispatching the goods or reject your order and notify you of such rejection. We are under no obligation to provide the goods to you at the incorrect (lower) price, even after we have sent you a Dispatch Notice, if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakable and could easily have been recognised by you as a mispricing.

Payment Method

(d) Payment methods are detailed on THE CARRIAGE COMMENTATOR LIMITED’s Website, where applicable. For the avoidance of doubt, THE CARRIAGE COMMENTATOR LIMITED does not accept payment by cash or cheque. We charge your debit or credit card on receipt of your order or take payment via PayPal.

You may elect for THE CARRIAGE COMMENTATOR LIMITED to refund your card and to re-purchase on arrival of the stock.

If you cancel your order prior to receiving the goods but where we have already processed and subsequently deliver the goods, you must not unpack the goods and you must send the goods back to us at our contact address within fourteen (14) calendar days. The cost of sending the goods back will initially be paid by you (see paragraphs (r), (t) and (u)).

Notice may be given using the Customer Care details below.

Incorrect / faulty / damaged goods

(r) If the ordered goods you receive are incorrectly supplied, faulty or damaged on delivery then you may cancel your contract with us providing you do so by contacting us by email or telephone (on the number printed on the advice note sent with your goods) and returning the goods within thirty (30) calendar days after the date you receive the ordered goods. We will examine the goods on their return to us, to confirm if they were incorrectly supplied, faulty or damaged. Goods returned by you because they were incorrectly supplied, faulty or damaged will be refunded in full. We will also refund the delivery charges for sending the goods to you and the cost incurred by you in returning the goods to us provided you have selected the least expensive, common and generally acceptable kind of delivery offered by us to send the goods to you and for you to return the goods to us. If you have selected a premium delivery method, we will reimburse you the amount that it would have cost you if you had chosen the least expensive, common and generally acceptable kind of delivery offered by us.
