If you think that there is a mistake in these terms, please contact us to discuss.
2. INFORMATION ABOUT HOW TO CONTACT US

   • 3.2 If we cannot accept your order. If we are unable to accept your order, we will inform you of this by email and will not charge you for the product. This might be because the product is out of stock or because we have identified an error in the price or description of the product or because there is a safety issue or because we are unable to verify that you are aged over 18 years of age or because you are resident in a country that we can’t supply to (see clause 3.4 below).
   • 3.3 Your order number. We will assign an order number to your order and tell you what it is when we accept your order. It will help us if you can tell us the order number whenever you contact us about your order.
   • We are however able to sell all of our products to consumers resident in the UK and selected countries. If we are unable to sell to you a certain product, we’ll notify you of that during the check-out process.
   • 3.5 For non-UK residents. If you’re resident outside of the UK then it is your responsibility to ensure that the products that you order from us comply with the local laws that apply in your country and to take responsibility for importing the goods into your country. We will have no responsibility for products which are stopped at customs or which do not meet the legislation which applies in your country.
   • 3.6 We only sell to people over 18. By law we cannot sell e-cigarettes or related products to anyone who is under 18 years of age.
   • 3.7 Verification of your identity. In order to comply with our legal obligations not to sell to people under 18 and to minimise the risk of fraud on your account we may carry out electronic verification on our customers. We do this when you open an account and may do it again if your personal details change (e.g. your delivery address or email changes) to ensure that your account remains secure. We will share your name, address and date of birth with Experian who provide electronic verification services to us. If we are unable to verify your age through electronic verification, we will ask you to provide documentary evidence (e.g., a copy of your passport or driving licence) to prove that you are over 18. We will not despatch the products until we’ve verified your age. If we are unable to verify your age electronically and you do not provide documentary evidence to prove you are over 18, we will cancel your order and refund the sums you’ve paid.

     • (a) If what you have bought is faulty or mis-described you may have a legal right to end the contract (or to get the product repaired or replaced or a service re-performed or to get some or all of your money back), see clause 11;
     • (b) If you want to end the contract because of something we have done or have told you we are going to do, see clause 8.2;
     • (c) If you have just changed your mind about the product, see clause 8.3. You may be able to get a refund if you are within the cooling-off period, but this may be subject to deductions.
   • 8.2 Ending the contract because of something we have done or are going to do. If you are ending a contract for a reason set out at (a) to (c) below the contract will end immediately and we will refund you in full for any products which have not been provided and you may also be entitled to compensation. The reasons are:

These rights, under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, are explained in more detail in these terms.
   • 8.4 Our goodwill guarantee. Please note, these terms reflect the goodwill guarantee offered by Absolute Vape to its UK customers, which is more generous than your legal rights under the Consumer Contracts Regulations as it applies to all customers and allows you to return the goods within 3 days of delivery. This goodwill guarantee does not affect your legal rights in relation to faulty or misdescribed products (see clause 11.2):
   • 8.5 When you don’t have the right to change your mind. You do not have a right to change your mind in respect of products (e.g., vape kits) sealed for health protection or hygiene purposes, once these have been unsealed after you receive them.
   • 8.6 How long do I have to change my mind? You have 30 days after the day you (or someone you nominate) receives the goods, unless your goods are split into several deliveries over different days.

Summary of your key legal rights if you are a UK resident

This is a summary of your key legal rights. These are subject to certain exceptions. For detailed information please visit the Citizens Advice website www.citizensadvice.org.uk or call 03454 04 05 06.

If you’ve purchased goods (for example, vape kits or batteries) the Consumer Rights Act 2015 says goods must be as described, fit for purpose and of satisfactory quality. During the expected lifespan of your product your legal rights entitle you to the following:

1. • • up to 30 days: if your goods are faulty, then you can get an immediate refund.
     • up to six months: if your goods can’t be repaired or replaced, then you’re entitled to a full refund, in most cases.
     • up to six years: if your goods do not last a reasonable length of time, you may be entitled to some money back.
   • 12.1 Where to find the price for the product. The price of the product (which includes VAT) will be the price indicated on the order page when you placed your order. We take all reasonable care to ensure that the price of the product advised to you is correct. However please see clause 12.3 for what happens if we discover an error in the price of the product you order.
   • 12.2 We will pass on changes in the rate of VAT. If the rate of VAT changes between your order date and the date we supply the product, we will adjust the rate of VAT that you pay, unless you have already paid for the product in full before the change in the rate of VAT takes effect.
   • 12.3 What happens if we got the price wrong. It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the products we sell may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices before accepting your order so that, where the product’s correct price at your order date is less than our stated price at your order date, we will charge the lower amount. If the product’s correct price at your order date is higher than the price stated to you, we will contact you for your instructions before we accept your order. If we accept and process your order where a pricing error is obvious and unmistakable and could reasonably have been recognized by you as a mispricing, we may end the contract, refund you any sums you have paid and require the return of any goods provided to you.
   • 12.4 When you must pay. You must pay for the products before we dispatch them.
   • 12.5 What to do if you think an invoice is wrong. If you think an invoice is wrong, please contact us promptly to let us know and we will not charge you interest until we have resolved the issue.
2. OUR RESPONSIBILITY FOR LOSS OR DAMAGE SUFFERED BY YOU
   • 13.1 We are responsible to you for foreseeable loss and damage caused by us. If we fail to comply with these terms, we are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breaking this contract or our failing to use reasonable care and skill, but we are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable. Loss or damage is foreseeable if either it is obvious that it will happen or if, at the time the contract was made, both we and you knew it might happen, for example, if you discussed it with us during the sales process.
   • 13.2 We do not exclude or limit in any way our liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so. This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors; for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; for breach of your legal rights in relation to the products as summarized at clause 11.2.
   • 13.3 We are not liable for business losses. We only supply the products for domestic and private use. If you use the products for any commercial, business or re-sale purpose we will have no liability to you for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity.
3. OTHER IMPORTANT TERMS
   • 15.1 We may transfer this agreement to someone else. We may transfer our rights and obligations under these terms to another organisation. We will always tell you in writing if this happens and we will ensure that the transfer will not affect your rights under the contract.
   • 15.2 You need our consent to transfer your rights to someone else. You may only transfer your rights or your obligations under these terms to another person if we agree to this in writing.
   • 15.3 Nobody else has any rights under this contract. This contract is between you and us. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms.
   • 15.4 If a court finds part of this contract illegal, the rest will continue in force. Each of the paragraphs of these terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.
   • 15.5 Even if we delay in enforcing this contract, we can still enforce it later. If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking this contract, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date.
   • 15.6 Which laws apply to this contract and where you may bring legal proceedings. These terms are governed by English law and if you live in England and Wales, you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the products in the English or Welsh courts. If you live in Scotland, you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the products in either the Scottish or the English courts. If you live in Northern Ireland, you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the product.
