15 CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMER:

A contract only exists between JBW and the Customer once a product (and any applicable delivery costs) has been paid for in full and the Customer has received a confirmation of despatch email (the order confirmation email, which you will receive first does not constitute a contract). We require payment in full before despatch of goods.

16 COOLING OFF PERIOD: (UK MAINLAND ONLY)

Under the Distance Selling Regulations you have anytime within 14 working days cooling-off period starting from the day after receipt to cancel the order for all consumer contract transactions excluding trade/business transactions, all item/s which have been specially ordered for you or manufactured to your own specifications.

*We will refund the price of the product/s in full, including the cost of sending the item to you.

To return your product you must send us written confirmation within the cooling-off period. You will be responsible for the cost of returning the items (or our costs for collecting them) and they must be returned complete and as new as otherwise a handling or surcharge charge may apply at our discretion. You have a legal obligation to take reasonable care of the Product/s while they are in your possession. If you fail to comply with this obligation, we may have a right of action against you for compensation or we may apply a handing or surcharge to re-cover these costs at our discretion. 

We will accept any product back for a full refund if you change your mind within fourteen days from the day after delivery is made.

When you return an item that is unsuitable, we ask that it is unused, unaltered with all labels attached, in their original packaging. We cannot accept any item that fails to meet these criteria.

17 PRICING:

All prices on the site are inclusive of VAT and are in pounds sterling (£). JBW retains the right to change prices at any time on the website without notice, all advertised prices in Magazines or other media are correct at time of going to press. We reserve to right to vary Our prices between our sales departments, including but not limited to Our online, mail order, retail store and trade store departments.

18 STOCK AVAILABILITY:

All stock is offered subject to availability. If for whatever reason payment is received for a product, which is not in stock we will contact you and offer an alternative product, or a full refund.  

19 PAYMENT METHOD:

All payments are processed either through Sage Pay or PayPal secured payment sites subject to their terms and conditions. Click here -

Payment can be made by all major Debit and Credit cards or via Paypal. This includes Visa, Mastercard, Maestro (Switch), Visa Electron, Amex. If you do not wish to use our online shopping service, you can still order by phone +44(0)1926-817444 with your credit or debit card details.

Please be assured that here at the JBW Online Shop we do not charge any orders until they have been despatched from our warehouse.

We send what is called an authorization request to your credit card company. Your credit card company verifies that the card is valid and that the amount of your transaction is available. If the card number is valid and the funds are available, they put an authorization hold on the funds. An authorization is only a hold on the funds for a possible future transfer. This hold is temporary, and if the transaction is not settled it will expire without any action. It is not a completed transaction and no funds are transferred at that time.

Your credit card company may still show a temporary authorization hold on the funds after your transaction is completed. It can take several working days for them to process the void on the authorization. The time will vary from one company to the next. Unfortunately, many customer services people at the card companies don't understand the difference between a settled transaction and an authorization hold. They will tell you that it was a valid transaction.

All credit/debit cardholders are subject to validation checks and authorization by the card issuer and we may share your personal information with such third parties as are necessary to enable us to do such checks. If the issuer of your payment card refuses to Authorize payment to us, we will not be liable for any delay or non-delivery.

In the case of failed Payment or negative security checks the Contract between us shall be cancelled and we will have no obligation to supply or deliver the Goods to you but this is without prejudice to our rights for compensation and/or damages for breach of Contract.
