Terms and Conditions

Please read the following important terms and conditions before you buy anything via our website or over the telephone and check that they contain everything which you want and nothing that you are not willing to agree to.  If you are a non-business customer, a summary of some of your key rights is shown at the end.

General

1. These terms and conditions (“Terms”) set out the basis on which you (“you” or “the Customer”) can place orders for items from Russums, a trading name of E Russum & Sons Limited of Edward House, Tenter Street, Rotherham S60 1LB, telephone number 01709 365005, email: enquiries@russums.co.uk (“Russums”, “we” or “us”) and will apply to any contract between you and us for the sale of goods.  Please read these Terms carefully and make sure that you understand them before ordering any product from us whether via our website, telephone, written order or in person.  By ordering goods from Russums you are deemed to have read, understood and accepted these Terms to the exclusion of all other terms and conditions that you seek to incorporate or which are implied by trade, custom, practice or course of dealing which are superseded.  No variation of these Terms will be binding unless confirmed in writing by a Director of Russums in advance.  No terms or conditions endorsed on, delivered with, or contained in the Customer's purchase conditions, order, confirmation of order, specification or other document shall form part of the Contract except to the extent that Russums otherwise agrees in writing.
2. We amend these Terms from time to time.  Every time you wish to order goods from us, please check these Terms to ensure you understand the Terms which apply at that time.
3. We reserve the right in our absolute discretion to decline to accept orders or to offer credit terms.

Basis of Contract

4. If you place your order via our website, clause 4.1 to 4.3 apply to you:
4.1 Your order for products from us constitutes an offer by you to purchase the goods subject to these Terms.  You are responsible for ensuring that the terms of your order and any applicable specification are complete and accurate.  After you place an order, you will receive an e-mail from us acknowledging that we have received your order.  However, please note that this does not mean that your order or any part of it has been accepted.  Our acceptance of your order will take place as described in Clause 4.2.
4.2 We will confirm our acceptance of your order to you by sending you an e-mail that confirms that the products have been dispatched (“Dispatch Confirmation”) at which point, the contract between you and us will be formed.  The contract between you and us will only be in respect of those goods set out in the Dispatch Confirmation.  Russums may accept or reject an order at its discretion.
4.3 If we are unable to supply you with a product ordered, for example because that product is not in stock or no longer available or because we cannot meet your requested delivery date or because of an error in the price on our site, we will inform you of this by e-mail and we will not process your order in respect of that particular product.  If you have already paid for the relevant product and there are no other items contained in your order, we will refund you the full amount as soon as possible including any delivery costs.  If your order includes other products that we are able to supply, we will dispatch those products and charge delivery as normal, only refunding you for the cost of the product we have been unable to supply.
5 If you place your order via telephone or in writing (post, email or fax), clauses 5.1 to 5.3 apply to you:
5.1 Your order for products from us constitutes an offer by you to purchase the goods in accordance with these Terms.  You are responsible for ensuring that the terms of your order and any applicable specification are complete and accurate.  Please note that our receipt of your order by phone or in writing and/or the taking of payment from you for all or any part of it does not constitute our acceptance of your order or any part of it.  Our acceptance of your order will take place as described in Clause 5.2.
5.2 Your order shall only be accepted and deemed to be accepted when we dispatch the goods, at which point the contract between you and us shall come into existence.  The contract will only be in respect of those goods actually dispatched as set out in the dispatch note which will accompany the goods.  We ask that you provide us with your email address when placing your order so that we may confirm our acceptance of your order by sending you an email that confirms that the products have been dispatched. 
5.3 If we are unable to supply you with a product, for example because that product is not in stock or no longer available or because we cannot meet your requested delivery date or because of an error in the price on our site, we will not process your order in respect of that particular product.  We will endeavour to contact you to inform you of this.  If you have already paid for the relevant product and there are no other items contained in your order, we will refund you the full amount as soon as possible including any delivery costs.  If your order includes other products that we are able to supply, we will dispatch those products and charge delivery as normal, only refunding you for the cost of the product we have been unable to supply.

General

6 Rejection by Russums of an Order, including any communication that may accompany such rejection, shall not constitute a counter-offer capable of acceptance by the Customer.
7 Russums may issue quotations to the Customer from time to time.  Quotations are invitations to treat only.  They are not an offer to supply goods and are incapable of being accepted by the Customer.
8 Marketing and other promotional material relating to the goods are illustrative only and do not form part of the Contract.

Prices

9 All goods and carriage are subject to VAT at the applicable current rate chargeable in the UK for the time being, except books, children’s clothing and protective boots/wellingtons which are zero rated, which the Customer shall pay.
10 All prices shown are cash prices in sterling.  There is no minimum order value.
11 Prices are subject to change at any time.  We reserve the right to change the advertised price without notice and goods are invoiced at the price ruling at the time of dispatch of the Customer’s Order.  If an error has caused the listed price or description of a product to be incorrect, Russums shall be under no obligation to honour the incorrect price or order.
12 The price of a product does not include delivery charges, which shall be charged to and payable by the Customer in addition.

Goods

13 All goods are subject to availability and we may substitute the goods with newer items or items of comparable or better quality.  The images of goods on our website or in our catalogue are for illustrative purposes only.  Your goods may vary slightly from the images.  Please note that you are responsible for deciding on the suitability of goods offered for any particular purpose and for the consequences arising from any work we undertake on goods at your request.  Please note all goods remain Russums Property until paid for in full together with all other sums due to us under these Terms, known as a lien.  Upon payment in full the title to the goods transfer to you.
14 It is an offence to sell knives and other age restricted products, such as solvents, to anyone under 18 years of age.  Customers placing orders for age restricted products confirm that they are over 18 years of age and also that the delivery of these items will be accepted by a person over 18 years of age.  Please be aware that our couriers may request photographic ID at the point of delivery.  If you are under age, please do not attempt to order these goods through our site or otherwise.  We reserve the right to cancel your order if we believe that you are not legally entitled to buy certain goods and to charge you for delivery costs.

Delivery

15 Please note that timescales or dates for delivery are approximate only and will vary depending on the availability of goods and your address.  Time for delivery is not of the essence.  Goods held in our warehouse are usually despatched within 1-2 working days.  Please allow extra time for bulky, fragile, heavy or personalised orders, and for deliveries to offshore and remote areas including Northern Ireland, Scottish Highlands, and outside the UK mainland.  We shall not be liable for any delay in delivery of the goods that is caused by an Event Outside Our Control (as defined in clause 47) or your failure to provide us with adequate delivery instructions or any other instructions that are relevant to the supply of the goods.  Russums may deliver the goods in instalments.  Any delay in performance or defect in an instalment shall not entitle the Customer to cancel any other instalment.
16 To use our 'next day delivery service' orders should be paid for by credit/debit card and placed by 3pm, Monday to Friday.  Goods dispatched on a Friday should be delivered on Monday (except on a Bank Holiday or UK public holiday).  Our next day delivery service is subject to stock and may not be available during exceptionally busy periods. 
17 Every effort is made to ensure that goods are delivered by the estimated delivery date, although delivery times cannot be guaranteed.

23 If you order goods from our site that require international shipping, you may be subject to import duties, taxes, administration charges and restrictions which are applied when the goods reach that destination.  Please note we have no control over these import charges and cannot predict their amount.  You will be responsible for payment of any such import duties, taxes and charges.  Russums is not responsible for any import restrictions which prevent the goods from being delivered to you and accepts no responsibility for loss caused to you by the goods being withheld or returned to us.  Please contact your local customs office for further information before placing your order.

Payment (Consumers) - This section applies only if you are a consumer

24 If you are a consumer, payment must be made to us at the time of placing of your order in full without deduction or set-off.  This does not affect your rights to a refund on cancellation of your order as set out in these Terms or your statutory rights.

Payment (Business Customers) – This section applies only if you are a business customer

25 If you are a business customer who does not hold a credit account with us, payment must be made to us at the time of placing of your order.  This does not affect your rights of cancellation of your order as set out in these Terms.
26 If you are a business customer who holds a credit account with us, you shall pay our invoice in full and in cleared funds within 30 days of the date of the invoice.  Payment shall be made to the bank account nominated in writing by us.  We also accept payment by credit/debit card and business cheque.  Time of payment is of the essence.  Russums may set and vary credit limits from time to time and withhold all further supplies if the Customer exceeds such credit limit.
27 If you, being a business customer who holds a credit account with us, fail to make any payment due to us under the contract by the due date for payment (“due date”), then you shall pay interest on the overdue amount at the rate of 4% per annum above Handelsbanken plc's’s base rate from time to time.  Such interest shall accrue on a daily basis from the due date until the date of actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgment.  You shall pay the interest together with the overdue amount.
28 You shall pay all amounts due under the contract in full without any deduction or withholding except as required by law and you shall not be entitled to assert any credit, set-off or counterclaim against us in order to justify withholding payment of any such amount in whole or in part.  We may at any time, without limiting any other rights or remedies we may have, set off any amount owing to us by you against any amount payable by us to you.

Returns

29 All goods are made to a high quality specification.  If you are not satisfied with the goods received we offer a money back guarantee when goods are returned to us unused, in perfect condition and in their original packaging, within 28 days of delivery.  Please note that items which have been embroidered, altered to a customer specification or ordered specially (including, but not limited to, bespoke clothing and/or non-catalogue equipment) cannot be returned under the money back guarantee unless faulty.
30 Any goods returned which are not in the condition set out above will be rejected and returned to you at your cost with no refund given.  Please note we reserve the right to charge a restocking fee for goods returned.
31 You are responsible for the cost of returning the goods to us unless they are faulty or delivered in error.  Please contact our Exchanges & Returns department if you are unsure about this or would like any advice upon our procedures.
32 Once returned, all items are processed as quickly as possible, however in some circumstances goods may need to be returned to the manufacturer for a decision on a problem or fault.  If a product is deemed to be faulty we will either replace, repair or refund at our option depending on the circumstances and in line with any manufacturer warranties and statutory requirements.
33 Goods supplied are guaranteed in accordance with the terms of the manufacturer's warranty provided with the goods.  For goods which do not have a manufacturer's guarantee, we provide a warranty that on delivery and for a period of 12 months from delivery, the goods shall conform in all material respects to any sample, their description and to the specification within the order, be free from material defects and of satisfactory quality within the meaning of the Sale of Goods Act 1979, The Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 and The Consumer Rights Act 2015 as applicable.  However, this warranty applies to UK mainland only, and does not apply to any defect in the goods arising from:
a. fair wear and tear;
b. wilful damage, abnormal storage or working conditions, accident, negligence by you or by any third party;
c. if you fail to operate or use the goods in accordance with the user instructions;
d. any alteration or repair by you or by a third party who is not one of our authorised repairers; or
e. any specification provided by you.
34 Except as set out in this clause Russums gives no warranty and makes no representations in relation to the goods and shall have no liability for their failure to comply with the warranty herein and all warranties and conditions (including the conditions implied by ss 12–16 of the Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982 and ss 13–15 of the Sale of Goods Act 1979), whether express or implied by statute, common law or otherwise are excluded to the extent permitted.
35 Machines returned for repair in warranty where it is found the machine has been abused or has not been used as the machine was designed for will be subject to a charge for repair and carriage.  Machines which have not been maintained properly may also be subject to a charge for repair and carriage.  Machines are returned for repair at your risk and must be packaged securely.  Machines returned for repair are not reassembled if on quotation you decide not to have the machine repaired.  Loan and hire machines are not available.
36 We recommend that you use a recorded postal / guaranteed delivery service and obtain a ‘proof of postage’ receipt if using the Post Office, as we do not accept responsibility for goods lost in transit.

Samples

37 Please contact us prior to ordering any goods required as samples.  Any goods required as samples will be despatched and charged in accordance with these Terms and our current price list.  Sample goods not required must be returned within 28 days from receipt and all carriage and packing costs must be borne by you.
38 All weights, measurements and specifications quoted are nominal and subject to manufacturing tolerances.  Exact conformity to submitted samples cannot be guaranteed.

63 If we fail to insist that you perform any of your obligations under the Terms or if we do not enforce our rights against you, or if we delay in doing so, that will not mean that we have waived our rights against you and will not mean that you do not have to comply with those obligations.  If we do waive a default by you we will only do so in writing, and that will not mean that we will automatically waive any later default by you.
64 Any notice or other communication given by a party under these Terms shall be in writing and in English, be signed by, or on behalf of, the party giving it (except for notices sent by email); and be sent to the relevant party at the address set out in the contract.

69 The Customer shall indemnify and keep indemnified Russums against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, fines, sanctions, interest, penalties, costs, charges, expenses, compensation paid to Data Subjects, demands and legal and other professional costs (calculated on a full indemnity basis and in each case whether or not arising from any investigation by, or imposed by, a supervisory authority) arising out of or in connection with any breach by the Customer of its obligations under clauses 66 to 73.
70 Taking into account the state of technical development and the nature of processing, Russums shall implement and maintain appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect the Protected Data against accidental, unauthorised or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, disclosure or access.
71 Russums shall where dealing with a business customer (at the Customer’s cost):
a. assist the Customer in ensuring compliance with the Customer’s obligations pursuant to Articles 32 to 36 of the GDPR (and any similar obligations under applicable Data Protection Laws) taking into account the nature of the processing and the information available to Russums; and
b. taking into account the nature of the processing, assist the Customer (by appropriate technical and organisational measures), insofar as this is possible, for the fulfilment of the Customer’s obligations to respond to requests for exercising the Data Subjects’ rights under Chapter III of the GDPR (and any similar obligations under applicable Data Protection Laws) in respect of any Protected Data.
72 Russums shall, in accordance with Data Protection Laws, make available to the Customer such information that is in its possession or control as is necessary to demonstrate Russums’ compliance with the obligations placed on it under these Terms and to demonstrate compliance with the obligations on each party imposed by Article 28 of the GDPR (and under any equivalent Data Protection Laws equivalent to that Article 28), and allow for and contribute to audits, including inspections, by the Customer (or another auditor mandated by the Customer) for this purpose (subject to a maximum of one audit request in any 12 month period under this clause).
73 On the end of the provision of the Services relating to the processing of Protected Data, at the Customer’s cost and the Customer’s option, Russums shall either return all of the Protected Data to the Customer or securely dispose of the Protected Data (and thereafter promptly delete all existing copies of it) except to the extent that any applicable law requires Russums to store such Protected Data.  This clause shall survive termination or expiry of the Contract.

Governing Law and Jurisdiction

74 Please note that these Terms are governed by English law regardless of whether you are a consumer or a business customer.  This means a contract for the purchase of our goods and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with it or its subject matter or formation (including non-contractual disputes or claims) will be governed by English law.
75 However, in terms of jurisdiction:
(a) If you are a consumer, then you and we both agree to that the courts of England and Wales will have non-exclusive jurisdiction.  However, if you are a resident of Northern Ireland you may also bring proceedings in Northern Ireland, and if you are a resident of Scotland, you may also bring proceedings in Scotland.
(b) If you are a business, we both agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.

Indemnity and insurance

76 The Customer shall indemnify, and keep indemnified, Russums from and against any losses, damages, liability, costs (including legal fees) and expenses incurred by Russums as a result of or in connection with the Customer’s breach of any of the Customer’s obligations under the contract.
77 The Customer, if a business customer, shall have in place contracts of insurance with reputable insurers incorporated in the United Kingdom to cover its obligations under the Contract.  On request, the Customer shall supply so far as is reasonable evidence of the maintenance of the insurance and all of its terms from time to time applicable.

Summary of some of your key rights if you are a non-business Customer:

By law, the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013, SI 2013/3134 say that we must give non-business Customers certain key information before a legally binding contract between you and us is made (see below). We will give you this information in a clear and understandable way. Some of this information is likely to be obvious from the context. Some of this information is also set out in these Terms, such as information on our complaint handling policy.
The Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 say that up to 14 days after receiving your goods, in most cases, you can change your mind and get a full refund.
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 you’re entitled to the following:
—up to 30 days: if your goods are faulty, then you can get a refund;
—up to six months: if they can’t be repaired or replaced, then you’re entitled to a full refund, in most cases;
