Terms and Conditions

1, Access:

By opening an account on this website, adding items to our “shopping cart” or otherwise using any part of this website, you are agreeing to be bound by these terms and conditions. We will try to make the website fully accessible to you at all times, but on occasions the website may not be available while maintenance is carried out, or for other reasons, so you cannot rely on the website always being available.You must be over eighteen years of age to use this website and to make payments online.

2, Security:

You are responsible for keeping your password safe and secure, for not allowing others to use your account and for any activity which is carried out under your account. We will not be liable for any activity which happens as a result of your failure in this regard.

3, Accuracy of content:

Chemeyes Ltd makes every effort to provide accurate information regarding descriptions of items for sale, prices, recommendations for use and all other matters. However some errors will inevitably occur. We reserve the right to correct these as soon as we find them. Where permitted by law, Chemeyes Ltd disclaims all warranties, express or implied, as to the accuracy of information on this website or anywhere else. Information may be provided for the interest of the reader and should be verified appropriately elsewhere before being relied upon. We take care to try and ensure this is accurate and appropriate. However we cannot take the place of your vet and Chemeyes Ltd will not be liable for any loss or damage which results from the use of the website or the information it contains. All product images are for illustrative purposes only.

4, Placement of orders:

You can use the website to request an order. You are able to change the content of your order at any time before payment is made by following the steps on the website. If you want to change your order after this time, you can telephone us on 07922008030. Orders cannot be changed after they have been dispatched. We recommend NOT emailing us to change your order contents or delivery address as we might not see this until too late and if this occurs we are not responsible – you should phone us or amend the order yourself online. We also recommend that you always place your order in time to allow for an unexpectedly delayed delivery. This even applies if you pay extra for a next-day delivery (where available).  These services can never be absolutely guaranteed. We will do our reasonable best to get your items to you on time, but if you have not allowed for any unexpected delay and you incur additional costs or inconvenience due to the delayed receipt of an order, we will not be responsible for this. Please try and order suitably and prudently in advance or occasionally you might be disappointed.

We reserve the right to decline the acceptance of any order, or cancel an order, in full or in part, for any reason at our absolute discretion. This applies up to the point we dispatch your order. We will inform you that we have received your request for an order by sending out an Order Confirmation email. Please check your junk email folder to ensure you have received the order confirmation. Then we will check the availability and suitability of all items requested. We only accept the order and agree the contract to supply at the point when we dispatch the goods and give them to the chosen delivery company. You warrant that all information supplied by you to us during the order process is true and complete to the best of your knowledge. It should be noted that images of products on our website are there for illustration purposes only and the packaging of the items delivered may vary.

Payment:

All credit and debit card transactions are carried out on a secure payment service provider website, not on our website. We never get to see your full card details if you make payments online. If you request an order by telephone and provide card details that way, we will enter them immediately online as if you were performing this at home. We will not write down or store your written card details. However the card processing service provider does store details of your card (as is always the case whenever you make any sort of purchase anywhere with your card).  We keep full records of payments taken and these can be viewed online in your account, or supplied separately on request.

5, Delivery:

All orders will be processed and dispatched as soon as possible. We will endeavour to supply orders accurately, but the responsibility remains with the purchaser and user to ensure the accuracy of all orders and that the product provided is the same as that ordered. If items arrive damaged (or get lost on their way to you), we will at our sole discretion refund or replace them. All damages must be notified to us within 5 days of receipt or we may be unable to refund/replace. We will ask you for photographs of any damage to be emailed to us and ask for your cooperation in this. Risk passes from us to you when the goods are delivered unless the courier is one not offered or named by us as an option, but chosen and arranged by you. In this case risk passes to you when the item is handed to the courier. If you ask for your package(s) to be left somewhere or provide any other delivery instructions then you negate the right to transit insurance and we will be unable to refund or resend items – we recommend not leaving delivery instructions wherever possible and request delivery to an alternative address (such as a work address).

When ordering and paying by phone or online, payment will be taken at the time of requesting the order (rather than waiting until the order is ready to be dispatched). All items are offered for sale subject to availability. We aim to dispatch all orders within 2 business days of receiving payment. The vast majority of orders are in fact dispatched within 24 hours of being made, but we cannot undertake to do this on every occasion. Unless we have specifically agreed to supply on a particular day, or by a particular time, please allow up to 5 working days for delivery. For undelivered Royal Mail parcels in the UK, we need to allow 12 working days from the date of dispatch before officially classing it as ‘missing’ and refunding or resending the order. For Royal Mail International, we need to allow 30 working days from the date of dispatch.

All missing orders must be reported within 20 working days (extended to 45 working days for International orders) of the dispatch date. If reported after this time, we cannot offer a refund or resend the order.

If delivery is likely to be subject to undue delay, we will contact you by email. You will have the option of a full refund in this case, or of waiting for availability. Delivery to some addresses may carry a higher delivery charge for certain items. This will be clearly explained and displayed before you make payment. Please ensure that you are happy with what you are ordering and of the costs. Chemeyes Ltd has the option to cancel any order that cannot be fulfilled for any reason and will contact you accordingly. You will always be given a full and timely refund in such case. We also reserve the right to swap the delivery method chosen for an equivalent service level delivery method at our discretion without notice.

 

 

6, International Orders:

International orders are shipped using Royal Mail, which is the UK postal service, or UPS, an international courier service, or Amazon as an international courier service across Europe. You are responsible for any VAT, tariff, duty, taxes, handling fees, brokerage charges, customs clearance charges, etc. required by your country for importing consumer goods. UPS services are eligible for these fees. There is no way for us to predict your country’s customs/fee habits, so be prepared to pay full VAT on the fully declared value of your order as well as any customs fees your country’s UPS and/or postal system may charge you. Keep a printout of your email receipt as you may have to send a copy to your customs office or for UPS. If you do not pay the required brokerage fees, VAT, tariff, duty, taxes, handling fees, customs clearance charges, etc – we cannot issue any refunds. Our shipping system is completely automated, and we cannot falsify customs forms. The customs forms will accurately describe the contents and cost of your order. We cannot mark orders as “gift”, “sample”, “educational” or lower the values.

Royal Mail First Class International is un-trackable service. Once it’s been sent it is out of our control. There is no way to track it and there is no proof of delivery or shipment. It is handed over by Royal Mail at the border to the national postal delivery service of the country of destination. Also it can “sit in customs” for up to a month whilst being evaluated for clearance, although it is rare for this to happen. Be aware that this method is to be used at your own risk. Royal Mail First Class International is generally dependable, arriving within a week or two on the vast majority of occasions. Quite often items sent by Royal Mail are not picked out by the customs service for any additional charges or import restrictions, but this varies a lot between countries.

7, Use of Products:

You warrant to us and guarantee that before you use anything purchased from us, you will:

– Check to see that the goods delivered match those which you ordered.

– Read any information on our website and supplied with the order about the correct use of anything ordered.

– You understand all such product information.

– You are competent and legally allowed to use the products safely.

Contact us if you are unsure about anything before using any products.

8, Returns and Refunds:

In accordance with the Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations 2000 (and amendments) you are entitled to cancel an order and receive a full refund, including the minimum possible costs of postage (for us shipping the order to you), for any items you order, up to 14 calendar days after you receive the item from us. This applies even if you just change your mind and no longer want an item. The refund will include the minimum postage costs you chose or could have chosen when placing your order. You are responsible for the cost to return the item to us. You must notify us of your intention to cancel the order and you must return the item to us by recorded delivery at your expense and within 14 days of receipt. We will then refund your money within 14 days of receipt of a returned item. It is your duty to take all reasonable care of any items to be returned, including their packaging, up until the time we receive them back from you. Any damage will result in us being unable to refund part or all of the money you have paid.

Items that cannot be returned

• Perishable items i.e. temperature controlled food/medication.
• Prescription Medication – due to regulatory law, we cannot accept the return of any prescription medication.
• Items that you have started to use/opened/removed the manufacturers’ tags from.

To receive a refund you must notify us within the 14 day period starting when you received the order. The 14 working day limit to request a refund does not apply to any item which is faulty, unfit for purpose, or not as described at the time you placed the order. For damaged and faulty items, you have 30 days to return them for a refund.

For all items returned after the 14 day period, you are asked to provide a written explanation of the reason for the return. Returned items in this circumstance may or may not be due a full refund, depending on the circumstances. (For example if you used an item for a while before it broke, you may have to bear some of the cost for the period of time you were able to use it.) In normal circumstances, the limit of our liability for compensation for orders which are delayed or do not arrive at all, will be the value of the order placed. You will not be due for any additional compensation (for instance if you decided to take time off work to receive the order).

Goods which arrive with minor damage will be replaced (or a credit provided) if there is a reasonable chance that they will be adversely affected by that damage. This can apply to part of an order only. If for instance an order contains multiple tins or other containers and one is damaged, we will undertake to provide a credit for the damaged items only. If you would prefer not to accept the whole order then you can return it to us, but you will be responsible for the cost of that return.
