Payment of the price for the goods represents an offer on your part to purchase the goods, which will be accepted by us only when the goods are dispatched. Only at this point is a legally binding contract created between us.

2. Acknowledgement of your order

To enable us to process your order, you will need to provide us with your e-mail address. We will notify you by e-mail as soon as possible to confirm receipt of your order and to confirm details. For the avoidance of doubt, this correspondence does not constitute a contract between us.

We have taken care in the preparation of the content of this website, in particular to ensure that prices quoted are correct at the time of publishing and that all goods have been described accurately. However, orders will only be processed if there are no material errors in the description of the goods or their prices as advertised on this website. Any weights, dimensions and capacities given about the goods are approximate only.

5. Damage to your computer

6. Availability

All orders are subject to acceptance and availability. If the goods you have ordered are not available from stock, we will contact you by e-mail or phone (if you have given us details).

7. Ordering errors

You are able to correct errors on your order up to the point on which you click on “submit” during the ordering process.

8. Price

The prices payable for goods that you order are as set out on our website. All prices are inclusive of VAT at the current rates and are correct at the time of entering information. Where it is not possible to accept your order to buy goods of the specification and description at the price indicated, we will advise you by email, and offer to sell you the goods of the specification and description at the price stated in the email and will state in the email the period for which the offer or the price remains valid.

Prices and offers may vary and may only be available for limited periods. All prices and offers are subject to availability and may be withdrawn or amended at our discretion. The prices on the website may differ to prices in our trade store, catalogues or elsewhere.

9. Payment terms

We will take payment upon receipt of your order from your credit or debit card. We accept no liability if a delivery is delayed because you did not give us the correct payment details. If it is not possible to obtain full payment for the goods from you, then we can refuse to process your order and/or suspend any further deliveries to you. This does not affect any other rights we may have.

10. Delivery charges

Delivery charges vary according to the type of goods ordered.

11. Delivery

11.1 Our delivery charges are set out during the checkout process. 11.2 You may be required to pay extra for delivery and it might not be possible for us to deliver to some locations. 11.3 We will deliver the goods to the address you specify for delivery in your order. It is important that this address is accurate. Please be precise about where you would like the goods left if you are out when we deliver. We cannot accept any liability for any loss or damage to the goods once they have been delivered in accordance with your delivery instructions (unless this is caused by our negligence). We will aim to deliver the goods by the date quoted for delivery but delivery times are not guaranteed and therefore time is not of the essence. In any event, we will aim to deliver your goods within 30 days from the day after the day we received your order. If delivery is delayed beyond this time, we will contact you and either agree a mutually acceptable alternative date, or offer you a full refund. 11.4 You will become the owner of the goods you have ordered when they have been delivered to you. Once goods have been delivered to you they will be held at your own risk and we will not be liable for their loss or destruction.

12. Risk and ownership

Risk of damage to or loss of the goods passes to you at the time of delivery to you. If you choose to use your own courier then the risk passes to you as soon as the goods are handed to your courier. You will only own the goods once they have been successfully delivered.

13. Cancellation rights

13.1 Under The Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 SI 2013/3134 you have the legal right to cancel your order up to 14 calendar days after the day on which you receive your goods (with the exception of any made to order items). SGS has extended this to 30 days from the date of purchase. You do not need to give us any reason for cancelling your contract nor will you have to pay any penalty. You will be required to return the goods to us at your own cost. The goods will be legally your responsibility until the delivery of them has been accepted by SGS Engineering 13.2 The Consumer Contract Regulations do not apply to business to business transactions. At SGS Engineering's discretion there may be a 30% handling fee and return delivery charge to pay for cancelled business to business orders. 13.3 Should you wish to cancel your order, you can use the cancellation form provided at here, or alternatively you can notify us in writing by any durable medium (for example letter sent by post, fax or e-mail). 13.4 You cannot cancel your contract if the goods you have ordered are bespoke (i.e. made to order). This includes gas struts that have been modified to a specific length, set to a specific Newton value and adjustable gas struts where the gas has been adjusted. 13.5 Please check the part number on your old gas strut before ordering. This will save you the cost of returning an item that has been ordered in error. 13.6 If you have received the goods before you cancel your contract then you must send the goods back to our contact address at your own cost and risk. If you cancel your contract but we have already processed the goods for delivery, you should not unpack the goods when they are received by you and you must send the goods back to us at our contact address at your own cost and risk as soon as possible. 13.7 Once you have notified us that you are cancelling your contract, and we have either received the goods back or, if earlier, received evidence that you have sent the goods back, we will refund any sum debited by us from your credit or debit card within 14 calendar days. 13.8  We require all returned goods (defective, damaged, unwanted or otherwise) to be sent back to us in the original condition they were received in, with all accessories, manuals and the original packaging. Items that are being returned purely because they are no longer wanted should be returned in unopened packaging. SGS retain the right to refuse a refund or charge an appropriate fee for items that are returned without original packaging and/or without accessories and manuals. 13.9 We may make a deduction from your refund for any loss in the value of the goods - for example using or wearing the goods prior to cancellation. 13.10 Any additional bank charges due when issuing a refund will be paid by the customer. There may also be an admin fee for any refunds processed through bank transfers.
