You are advised to print a copy of these 'Terms & Conditions' as they may change.

Our Terms & Conditions will apply to all transactions on this website and are intended to follow the guidelines set out in the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013. They do not affect your statutory rights.

Our terms & conditions may change at any time. Changes will take effect on the date they are posted. Before placing an order you are asked to read and accept these terms & conditions.

At various stages during the ordering process and before finally submitting your order you will have the opportunity to check and correct any input errors.

After submitting your order our system will respond with an automated email to the address given during the ordering process, please note this email is an acknowledgement of and not an acceptance of your order. If an item is in stock on our website, it may not be in stock at all stores. If you are making a special journey, please contact your local store for availability.

 

Prices, Payment & VAT

All prices and charges are shown in UK pounds sterling, include any VAT payable, but exclude delivery charges.

The total cost of your order will be the price of the products you order plus the applicable delivery charges. All delivery charges are detailed during the ordering process.

Please note that online orders (also know as "mail-order") are not valid for Tax Free Shopping or VAT refunds if you are a non-European resident and plan to take the goods with you when you leave the country. This is outlined on the Government Website in more detail.

We can arrange to sell goods without VAT to residents of the Channel Islands. Please contact us to arrange this. Alternatively if you have already  made a purchase, please contact us and we can refund the VAT portion. Both the billing and delivery address must be in a valid, VAT free location.

If you are British Forces overseas using the BFPO postage system and your location qualifies for VAT free purchases, we can arrange this - please contact us before making a purchase.

 

 

Your Information

When placing an order, customers must provide a valid contact method including a telephone number and email address. We use this information to contact you in relation to your order and to provide the most accurate tracking information. If no valid phone number or email is provided, your order may not be shipped and we will await contact from you. Please consider that if you provide false or incorrect information that we have no way to tell you about this.

No customer data is used for marketing unless you opt in to receive marketing emails. We only share your information with 3rd parties where necessary to do so in order to complete your order, for example with a courier. You can find out more about how we use and protect your data in our privacy policy.

 

 

Delivery & Postage

We will endeavour to deliver goods within the times stated, but goods are subject to availability and delay in delivery times is sometimes outside our control. If you require a next day delivery, there is a cut off point of 3pm Monday - Friday (or 1pm for orders paid for via Finance Agreement). Orders placed after this will be dispatched on the following working day. Working days are classed as Monday to Friday. Any dates we specify for delivery are approximate only and we shall not be liable for any losses, costs, damages, charges or expenses caused by any delay in delivery.

Postage charges are as detailed on the order page, however our couriers do make extra charges for certain areas (Northern Ireland, Northern Scotland, Highlands & Islands etc.) we will always inform should the delivery charge be more than specified.

Orders placed and paid for using a finance agreement through our current Finance provider cannot be shipped to an alternate address and will only be dispatched to the billing (finance agreement) address, regardless of whether you choose an alternate delivery address when placing your order. We will always endeavour to contact you to remind you of this before dispatching your parcel, but if we cannot contact you your parcel will be dispatched to your billing address so as not to delay your receipt of the goods.

As the items we sell are only intended for sale within the UK market, we will only ship within the UK. Orders which are found to be deliberately contravening this will be cancelled. The only exception to this is if you are British Forces operating overseas and using the BFPO postage service.

We will not deliver to mail forwarding companies and orders using a mail forwarding provider address for delivery will be cancelled without notice.

If you have chosen to change your delivery information from that supplied and confirmed on your order confirmation, for example by redirecting the parcel to a "safe place" or alternative addres, then we will not be held responsible should the item go missing. By choosing to have your parcel delivered to an alternative location or safe place, you are taking responsibility for that location being safe and secure and therefore any liability should this not be the case. Where the tracking and proof of delivery (images and or/GPS co-ordinates and/or driver statements) shows that the parcel was delivered in accordance with any instructions given, we will not reimburse or replace items.

Detailed delivery information is available on our Delivery Information Page.

Faulty Goods / Equipment Repair

If there is a fault with your goods within the specified guarantee period, we will normally offer a prompt repair, exchange or refund (at our discretion). Under normal circumstances we will offer you the choice of an exchange or refund if the fault occurs within 28 days of delivery.

To qualify for a refund or exchange the goods must be: In otherwise 'as new' condition, and complete with any accessories and free gifts offered with it (and if possible, the original box and packing).

If your goods develop a fault during the manufactures guarantee period (usually twelve months from delivery), please visit our dedicated Repairs Information page, which covers both in-warranty and out of warranty faulty product information for new items.

Guarantees and warranties do not cover faults caused by neglect, misuse or normal wear and tear. Consumable items (e.g. batteries, film, ink cartridges, paper) are not covered under the terms of the guarantee.

This returns policy does not affect your legal rights.

 

Grey Imports (we only sell geniune UK stock)

We DO NOT sell grey imports and therefore you can be confident in knowing that we are eligible for offers from the manufacturers, such as cashback offers, etc. You can also be confident that VAT has been paid on the items you are buying and that they will have a valid UK/EU warranty supported by the manufacturer.

You will be able to verify that we are authorised dealers by checking the "where to buy" section of the brand website or when checking to see if we are eligible for marketwide promotions, by looking for our name in the list of authorised dealers in the terms & conditions. Please note that in some cases we are listed by our offical business name "Frank Wilkinson Cameras Ltd."
