If you are a business customer this is our entire agreement with you

If you are a business customer these terms constitute the entire agreement between us in relation to your purchase. You acknowledge that you have not relied on any statement, promise, representation, assurance or warranty made or given by us or on our behalf which is not set out in these terms and that you have no claim for innocent or negligent misrepresentation or negligent misstatement based on any statement in this agreement.

We only accept orders when we’ve checked them

We contact you to confirm we’ve received your order and we accept it when we dispatch or supply the product and confirm dispatch or supply to you.

Sometimes we reject orders

Sometimes we reject orders for various reasons. For example, a product may be unexpectedly out of stock, mispriced, or we may have identified an error in the product description. Other reasons include, but are not limited to, issues with payment processing, the detection of potentially fraudulent or suspicious activity, or because the order does not comply with our terms and conditions. In some cases, we may reject orders if we believe they are intended for resale or if there are restrictions on distribution in certain regions. When this happens, we will notify you as soon as possible and refund any sums you have paid.

We charge you when you order

However, for some products we take payment at regular intervals, as explained to you during the order process. If your product is goods (rather than digital content or services), you will own it once we have received payment in full.

If you are a business customer you have no set-off rights

If you are a business customer all amounts due under this agreement (from you to us or from us to you) shall be paid in full without any set-off, counterclaim, deduction or withholding (other than any deduction or withholding of tax as required by law), unless otherwise agreed in writing between us and you.

We charge interest on late payments

If we’re unable to collect any payment you owe us we charge interest on the overdue amount at the Bank of England interest rate base rate from time to time. This interest accrues on a daily basis from the due date until the date of actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgment. You pay us the interest together with any overdue amount.

We pass on increases in VAT (where applicable)

Where applicable, if the rate of VAT changes between your order date and the date we supply the product, we adjust the rate of VAT that you pay, unless you have already paid in full before the change in the rate of VAT takes effect.

We’re not responsible for delays outside our control

If our supply of your product is delayed by an event outside our control, such as an internet connectivity issue, we will contact you as soon as we are made aware to let you know and do what we can to reduce the delay. As long as we do this, we won’t compensate you for the delay, but if the delay is likely to be substantially more than fourteen (fourteen (14)) days you can contact us at info@eugeniemichael.com to end the contract and receive a refund for any products you have paid for in advance, but not received.

Products can vary slightly from their pictures

A product’s true colour may not exactly match that shown on your device or in our marketing or its packaging may be slightly different. Furthermore, the appearance of digital content may vary slightly from device to device due to different screen settings and resolutions. The true colours and quality of the digital content may not exactly match what is displayed on your screen.

We strive to ensure that all descriptions and previews of our digital content are accurate. However, because our products are digital, there may be minor variations in how they are displayed and formatted on different devices or software.

Our digital content is designed to be compatible with common software and devices. However, we cannot guarantee that it will function identically across all platforms or with all software versions.

If you are a consumer and you bought online, or over the telephone, you have a legal right to change your mind

Your legal right to change your mind. For most of our products bought online, over the telephone, you have a legal right to change your mind about your purchase and receive a refund of what you paid for it, including the delivery costs. This is subject to some conditions, as set out below.

  • Fourteen (14) days to change your mind online or over the telephone.
  • You pay costs of return (where applicable)

When you can’t change your mind. You can’t change your mind about an order for:

  • digital products, after you have started to download or stream these;
  • services, once these have been completed (where such services have begun and not completed you will only receive a pro-rata refund on work we have not completed);
  • products sealed for health protection or hygiene purposes, once these have been unsealed after you receive them;
  • sealed audio or sealed video recordings or sealed computer software, once these products are unsealed after you receive them;
  • goods that are made to your specifications or are clearly personalised; and
  • goods which become mixed inseparably with other items after their delivery.

The deadline for changing your mind. If you change your mind about a product, you must let us know no later than fourteen (14) days after:

  • the day we deliver your product, if it is goods, for example a stationary item. If the goods are for regular delivery (for example, a subscription), you can only change your mind after the first delivery. If the goods are split into several deliveries over different days, the period runs from the day after the last delivery.
  • the day we confirm we have accepted your order, if it is for digital content for download or streaming (for example, an individual contract template or contract bundles), although you can’t change your mind about digital content once we have started providing it.

How to let us know. To let us know you want to change your mind, contact us at info@eugeniemichael.com

You have to return the product at your own cost. If your product is goods, you have to return it to us within fourteen (14) days of your telling us you have changed your mind. Returns are at your own cost, unless we offered free returns when you bought the goods. You can:

  • send the product back to us. You must keep a receipt or other evidence from the delivery service that proves you have sent the product and when you sent it. If you don’t do this and we don’t receive the goods at all or within a reasonable time we won’t refund you the price.
    For help with returns, including our collection arrangements for goods which can’t be posted, please email us at info@eugeniemichael.com.

We only refund standard delivery costs. We don’t refund any extra you have paid for express delivery or delivery at a particular time.

You have to pay for services you received before you change your mind. If you bought a service we don’t refund you for the time you were receiving it before you told us you’d changed your mind.

We reduce your refund if you have used or damaged a product. If you handle the product in a way which would not be acceptable for original use, we will not refund you.

When and how we refund you. If your product is a service, digital content or goods that haven’t been delivered or that we’re collecting from you, we refund you as soon as possible and within fourteen (14) days of you telling us you’ve changed your mind. If your product is goods that you’re sending back to us, we refund you within fourteen (14) days of receiving them back from you (or receiving evidence you’ve sent them to us). We refund you by the method you used for payment. We don’t charge a fee for the refund.

You can end an on-going contract

We tell you when and how you can end an on-going contract with us (for example, for regular services or a subscription to digital content or goods) during the order process and we confirm this information to you in writing after we’ve accepted your order.

You have several options for resolving disputes with us

Our complaints policy. We will do our best to resolve any problems you have with us or our products

Resolving disputes without going to court. Alternative dispute resolution is an optional process where an independent body considers the facts of a dispute and seeks to resolve it, without you having to go to court.

Any dispute shall be referred to the senior representatives of each party to negotiate in good faith to resolve such dispute.  Such representatives shall be given authority to settle the dispute and will, within 30 (thirty) days of a written request from one party to the other, meet in a good faith effort to resolve the dispute.

If the dispute is not resolved at that meeting, the Parties will attempt to settle it by mediation with the Centre for Effective Dispute Resolution (“CEDR”) in accordance with the CEDR Model Mediation Procedure.  Unless otherwise agreed between the Parties, the mediator will be nominated by CEDR.  To initiate the mediation a Party must give notice in writing (“ADR notice”) to the other Party to the dispute requesting mediation.  A copy of the request should be sent to CEDR Solve.  The mediation will start no later than 30 (thirty) days after the date of the ADR notice.

You can go to court. These terms are governed by English and Wales Law. If you are a consumer then, wherever you live, you can bring claims against us in the English courts and if you live in Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland, you can also bring claims against us in the courts of the country you live in. If you are a consumer we can claim against you in the courts of the country you live in. If you are a business you irrevocably agree to submit all disputes arising out of or in connection with our contract with you to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts.

Other important terms apply to our contract

We can transfer our contract with you, so that a different organisation is responsible for supplying your product. We’ll tell you in writing if this happens and if you are a consumer we’ll ensure that the transfer won’t affect your rights under the contract. If you’re a consumer and you’re unhappy with the transfer you can contact us at info@eugeniemichael.com to end the contract within thirty (30) days of us telling you about it.

Nobody else has any rights under this contract. This contract is between you and us. Nobody else can enforce it and neither of us will need to ask anybody else to sign-off on ending or changing it.

If a court invalidates some of this contract, the rest of it will still apply. If a court or other authority decides that some of these terms are unlawful, the rest will continue to apply.

Even if we delay in enforcing this contract, we can still enforce it later. We might not immediately chase you for not doing something (like paying) or for doing something you’re not allowed to, but that doesn’t mean we can’t do it later.
