8  Order process and formation of a contract

8.1 Our Website, catalogue and brochure merely illustrate our Goods and the packaging of the Goods. Your computer may not accurately display the colours of the Goods. Although we aim to accurately depict our Goods and their packaging, there may be differences between the packaging and the colours of the Goods delivered to you and those shown on our Website and in our catalogue and brochure.

8.2 All orders are subject to acceptance and availability. If we are unable to supply you with the Goods in your order due to matters such as unavailability of stock, materials, key staff or an Event Outside our Control or because we have identified a mistake in the description of the Goods or the price stated by us, we will notify you. We will not proceed with the order and will refund any sums you have paid us.

8.3 If the Goods are temporarily unavailable, we will notify you by email of the date they are expected to be available. You will have the option either to wait until they are available or to cancel your order. If you cancel your order, we will refund any sums you have paid us.

8.4 Any order placed by you for the Goods constitutes an offer to purchase them from us.

8.5 You agree that if we contact you to acknowledge receipt of your order such communication shall not amount to our acceptance of your offer to purchase the Goods.

8.6 We may not be able to accept your order due to one or more of the following reasons, or for a reason not listed below:

8.6.1 The item you have ordered is out of stock

8.6.2 We cannot authorise your payment or have reasonable grounds to suspect your payment may be fraudulent

8.6.3 There has been a pricing or product description error whether related to products or delivery

8.6.4 There is a system or procurement failure

8.6.5 You have failed our customer validation checks, for example by failing to provide a valid telephone number and email address. Orders where neither a valid telephone number nor email address have been supplied will be automatically cancelled and refunded.

8.7 A 'Confirmation Notice' means an email which we send to you to confirm that we have dispatched the Goods, or a notice to this effect sent with the Goods. A Confirmation Notice will be our acceptance of the offer made in the order to which that Confirmation Notice relates.  

8.8 A contract between you and us for the supply of the Goods (the 'Contract') incorporating the version of these Conditions in force at the time of your order will come into existence when we send you the Confirmation Notice relating to your order. You may print and keep a copy of the Confirmation Notice for future reference.

8.9 If you think that there is a mistake in the Confirmation Notice or if you wish to make any changes, please contact us to discuss this. If you request a change, we will tell you if that is possible and about any changes to the price, delivery or performance dates or any other changes that we need to make as a result of your request. We will ask you if you wish to go ahead with the change.

8.10 We may make

8.10.1 minor technical adjustments to the Goods to improve them or to comply with relevant laws and regulatory requirements,

8.10.2 changes to these Conditions as a result of changes in any relevant laws and regulatory requirements,

8.10.3 changes to these Conditions as a result of changes in how we accept payment from you,

8.10.4 changes in the amount payable by you to the extent of any changes in the VAT included in the price or payable in relation to the price.

8.11 In ordering such products on the Website, you make a representation to us that you intend to use the products ordered for use as domestic fuel. If you would like to purchase fuel for resale, you must inform us in advance of placing the order and we will issue a VAT invoice including the required 20% VAT for customers inside the United Kingdom. For customers who are VAT registered in another member state of the European Union, we will issue an invoice without charging VAT if the requirements of applicable legislation are met. In failing to make any use other than domestic fuel clear to us at the point of purchase you agree to indemnify us against any claim from HMRC arising for underpaid Value Added Tax and agree to compensate us for any additional levy retrospective or otherwise and to pay any additional reasonable costs incurred in the satisfaction of HMRC.

8.12 If we make any changes in accordance with clause 8.10 we will give you written notice of the changes before we supply the Goods. You can choose to cancel the contract if the change would be significantly to your disadvantage.

8.13. We may, however, apply the rate of VAT which fits your circumstances without changing the total amount payable by you, so long as you are not required to pay additional amounts, without notifying you, for example to correct an error in the quote. Only the VAT rate stated on the VAT invoice (not the order acknowledgement) shall be final.

8.14 Any variation to these Conditions which have been incorporated into the Contract or to the Contract other than those mentioned in clause 8.10 shall only be binding when agreed in writing and signed by you and us.

9  Delivery

9.1 The Goods will be delivered to you at the address you provided during the order process which may be an address other than the billing address, unless a different delivery address has been agreed between you and us in writing.

9.2 Any dates quoted for delivery of the Goods are approximate only. If no date is specified then it will take place as soon as reasonably possible, but in any event within 30 days of the date of the Confirmation Notice, unless there is an Event Outside our Control, in which case clause 15 shall apply.

If no one is present at your delivery address to take delivery, we will advise you of our attempted delivery. You must then contact us to make arrangements for us to deliver the Goods. At our option, where safe to do so, we may leave the Goods unattended and this will constitute a completed delivery.

9.7 If an order is cancelled or the delivery turned away (order not accepted) while the goods are in transit, you will be responsible for the cost you or we incur in returning your order to us, unless there is a problem with your delivery (see clause 11.2).

The delivery location must be suitable for unloading with a tail lift. Unloading point must be hard and level (not gravel, grass or any other unsuitable surface as determined by the delivery driver). Any further conveyance of the delivery is purely at the discretion of the delivery company. Where a delivery is made in a full vehicle or container load, then suitable arrangements will be notified to you and will need to be agreed prior to delivery. It is your responsibility to ensure that your delivery location is suitable. If you are not sure, please call us on 020 30020359 and we will be happy to advise. If the driver delivering your order determines that delivery location is not suitable for unloading, you will be offered kerbside delivery at the nearest point accessible by the delivery vehicle. If kerbside delivery cannot be made safely (for example, where the pallet would obstruct traffic) or is declined by you, the order will be returned to us and refunded with the cost of return shipping up to £48.00 for each pallet and £10 for each parcel including VAT deducted from the refund. However, if there is a problem with the item ordered, then a different procedure applies (see clause 11.2)

9.10 If delivery cannot be made for any reason not stated in clause 9.9, we will refund the payment to you in full without deductions within one working day after the goods are returned to us, but no later than five working days after dispatch. This means initiating the refund. An additional time may be required by VISA, Mastercard and American Express payment networks or your bank to process the payment and is not included in this time. 

9.11 You must examine the Goods within a reasonable time after arrival and let us know as soon as reasonably possible if they are faulty, damaged or not as described.

9.12 We may end the contract with you and charge you for any extra storage costs we have incurred if
