Terms & Conditions - Lifestyle Home Appliances

1. Our Contract with you

When you place an order, you are offering to buy the product(s) from us and we will send you an order acknowledgement. The contract is subject to your right of cancellation (see below). However, your order will only be accepted by us once your product(s) are ready to leave our distribution centre for delivery to you. Kindly allow up to 48 hours for your order to be dispatched. Until then we can decline to supply the goods – we will try to ensure that this never happens but we do, however, reserve the right not to fulfil your order for any reason if, for example, we have made an error on the price or similar or we simply can’t get hold of the model you need. In such circumstances we’ll refund the price you’ve paid to us. We reserve the right not to accept an order for any reason and we won’t be liable to you or anyone else in these circumstances.

2. Availability

We sell only brand new products, never opened from the original box. We only sell brand new products, never opened from their original packaging, and do not offer ex-display items. Each product comes with a full manufacturer’s warranty. Once you receive your purchase, along with the invoice, you will need to contact the manufacturer to register the warranty in your name (this service is free of charge). Our website displays product availability and estimated delivery times. Where we display the earliest available delivery day prior to the checkout, postcode restrictions may apply. For the most accurate delivery date to your home, you can enter your postcode when you’re in the checkout. We deliver a large number of products a week and so we have to rely on a computer system for our stock control. Computers are better than people at this stuff on a big scale but even they occasionally get it wrong. If we get this wrong we will tell you as soon as we know and we will try to sort it out for you.

4. Website Information

We try to specify accurate dimensions for every product listed on our website. However, please be aware that the product dimensions do not include any protruding features such as controls and handles etc and product dimensions represent the casing of the product only. Whilst we try to be as accurate as possible, all sizes, weights and measurements quoted on our website are approximate only. Similarly, we’ve made every effort to display all product colours accurately. However we can’t guarantee that the image displayed on your monitor will accurately reflect the true colour of the product delivered to you. Please also be aware that colours may differ between manufacturers. Whilst every effort has been made to ensure that product specifications are correct on the website, due to continual product development through research & design, specifications may change without notice.

5. Customer Reviews

Any customer reviews of the products we sell are the opinions of our customers and do not form part of the specification or description of the product. We shall not be liable if any of the information contained in a customer review proves inaccurate.
You acknowledge and agree that: The copyright in the photos, videos, data and text used on our website belongs to us or our suppliers and the general look and feel and format of our website belongs to us. You are permitted to use this material only as expressly authorised by us or our suppliers.
We are entitled to change or amend our website without giving you notice (but the terms and conditions applicable when you placed your order will continue to apply to those products).

6. Prices

All the prices we display include VAT and exclude delivery, unless stated specifically on the website. You can see further information on our delivery below. Our ‘Price Match Promise‘ service is for the benefit of consumers – we match the price of products available for immediate online purchase from our competitors’ websites, subject to certain conditions. Please contact us via our Live Chat to request a PriceMatch.

7. Payment

You won’t be surprised to learn that you can pay with more or less any type of credit/debit card. This includes Maestro, Delta, MasterCard or Visa card and we do all we can to ensure your details are secure. If there are any problems with receiving payment we’ll let you know.

8. Delivery

We offer home delivery to every UK postcode. Delivery will normally be made through our sister company. We have a phenomenal delivery success rate that we are very proud of and a will to deliver that we cannot fault. For smaller items we will sometimes use a third-party delivery company who also provide a fantastic service. Please note that deliveries coming from different warehouses may not be delivered together.

The products we deliver are often big and heavy items to lift, so there will be certain occasions when we may be unable to get it into your property. Lots of steps, narrow corridors, radiators and restricted parking are all things that may hinder our ability to deliver; it is your responsibility to ensure access to your property. In situations where we cannot gain access, we may be able to offer delivery to the nearest point possible e.g. your garage, so you can make arrangements to get the product in to your property. If we believe successful re-delivery is viable when you have taken the necessary measures, we will attempt another delivery however we reserve the right to not re-attempt delivery; in this case we will always give you a full refund.

If products are paid for by credit/debit card, we will deliver to the billing address of the card used to make payment. If you want your item delivered to a different address, please let us know when making the payment.

9. Delivery Limitations

Occasionally something will happen out of our control that closes roads, like floods, snow or other adverse weather conditions or things like sporting events which result in closed roads. In these circumstances we’ll block any affected dates out of the checkout delivery calendar. If you’ve already selected your delivery date and you’re affected, we’ll contact you as soon as possible to arrange alternative delivery options. We will do what we can, but we can’t be held liable if we can’t fulfil delivery due to reasons beyond our control.

Unfortunately, on the rare occasions where a delivery is unsuccessful, we’re not liable for costs incurred. This might include things like a third-party engineer or food deliveries.

There are various delivery options available, depending on your needs and how much you want to pay. These options are set out clearly on the checkout page before you place your order:

Eco Friendly Free (5-7 days);
Custom delivery (7+ days);
Standard delivery (4-5 days).

Note: To process your order, please note that we require up to 48 hours on top of the estimated delivery time and date for each delivery method.

If you’re not happy with your product or you’ve simply changed your mind, you’ll need to let us know within 100 days of delivery or collection to receive a refund. We’re happy for you to unpack the appliance and have a proper look at it. However, if you have used the product or had it installed, we may not be able to sell it to someone else. This means that where the value of the product is reduced by your use, we may only make a partial refund, or charge you for the reduction in value. If you have not used the product and it is returned to us in the original packaging, you will receive a full refund.

Your refund will be made within 14 days after you ask for it by submitting one of the following forms: Book a Return or Ask for a Refund. Refund will be made to the same card used when initially submitted your order.

To cancel a product please call us Monday to Friday 10:00am – 8:00pm, or use our LiveChat at anytime. The product must be returned using the same method you used when purchasing the product (for example, if you collected the product from our store, it must be returned to our store), unless agreed otherwise with us. When we are to collect the cancelled product from you, we’ll collect your product free of charge within a reasonable time from when you cancel and on a day that suits you. We’ll also refund you the cost of delivery. You will receive an estimated timeslot of your collection and must be at the chosen address for the driver to receive the goods from you.

13. If Products are Faulty

If you’re reading this section, we’re sorry. We work closely with our manufacturers to sell quality electricals, but sometimes things do go wrong. Here’s how we’ll fix it…

It’s important to us to supply products that are fit for purpose, but for your added assurance, it’s also our legal responsibility. To the extent that the products have any cosmetic damage, this will be displayed on the photos of that product on our website.

As a customer, it’s your legal right to receive either a refund, repair or replacement for products that are either faulty or not what you expected as per the Consumer Rights Act 2015.

We’ll offer resolutions based on the timelines outlined in the Consumer Rights Act 2015 for products purchased from 1st October 2015 onwards, and those outlined in the Sale of Goods Act for those bought prior to this date.

1. If a fault is confirmed within 30 days of delivery, just let us know and you’ll be able to return it for a full refund, or have it repaired or replaced.
2. If a fault is confirmed after 30 days of delivery (but within 6 months of owning it), just let us know and you can choose whether you’d like us to either repair or replace it for you.
*In some cases, we may not be able to offer your preferred option if it is disproportionate to the other (e.g. because it has a much higher cost to us than the alternative). If that’s the case, you’ll still be offered a repair or replacement to fix the issue, but not the choice of either.
*If it’s not possible for us to offer a repair or replacement, you can choose to keep the product and receive a partial refund or return the product and receive a full refund.
3. If you find a fault 6 months after delivery and you’re able to prove that the fault/defect was there when we delivered it, we’ll offer the same resolution mentioned in point 2. Manufacturers are best placed to help you deal with manufacturer faults. Sometimes we’ll ask you to get in touch with them to resolve the issue. We can even put you straight through to them on our phone system to make it easier for you

You can get advice regarding your legal rights from your local Citizens Advice Bureau or Trading Standards office. Nothing in these terms will affect your legal rights.

Unless otherwise indicated on the product information, the manufacturers will supply a warranty in addition to your rights set out above. In most cases you’ll receive a 1 year warranty covering all parts and labour. In some cases, it may be extended to up to 10 years by the manufacturer. You may need to register to qualify for these promotions – please check with one of our team.

We will supply a ‘return to base’ warranty with some of our products. If any product subject to this warranty develops a fault and you want to enforce your ‘return to base’ warranty please call us Monday to Friday 10:00am – 8:00pm, or email at sales@lifestylehomeappliances.com. This is in addition to your statutory rights.

Please also note that our warranties only cover domestic use; items for use in commercial properties might not be covered.

14. Things Beyond Our Control

We will not be liable or responsible for any failure to perform, or delay in performance of, any of our obligations under these terms that is caused by events outside our reasonable control. Such events include any act, non-occurrence, omission or accident beyond our reasonable control and includes, in particular (without limitation), the following:

- Impossibility of the use of railways, shipping, aircraft, motor transport or other means of public or private transport; or

  Our obligations under these terms are suspended for the period that such event continues and we will have an extension of time to perform these obligations for the duration of that period. We will take reasonable steps to bring the event to a close or to find a solution by which our obligations under these terms can be performed despite the event.

15. Our Liability to You
