We do not endorse or approve the content of any 3rd party site. We are not responsible for the content of any 3rd party site nor will we have any liability in connection with any 3rd party site (including, but not limited to, liability arising out of any allegation that the content of any 3rd party site infringes any law or the rights of any person or entity).

4. Intellectual Property Rights

4.1 All intellectual property rights and goodwill in or relating to the content of the Website belongs to either us or to our suppliers.

Part 2 – Purchase of Goods

This Part sets out the terms which apply to your purchase of Goods from us through the Website.

6. Purchase Process

6.1  The price of the Goods and any additional delivery or other charges is that set out on the Website at the date of the Order or such other price as we may agree in writing.  Prices and charges include VAT at the rate applicable at the time of the Order.

6.2 You make an offer to purchase Goods from us (your “Order”) by completing the staged process on the Website as set out below:

Adding product to your basket

Checkout step 1 – Login details

Checkout step 2 – address details

Checkout step 3 – payment details

Confirmation of Order

6.3 Your Order only constitutes an offer to purchase Goods from us, and does not form a binding contract until accepted by us. Where you order more than one item your Order contains a series of offers for each item individually.

6.4 On receipt of your Order, we will send you an acknowledgement email to the email address you supplied in the Order process. This acknowledgement email will contain your Order number, details of the Goods ordered, total cost of the Order, and a delivery estimate. This email is not acceptance by us of any offers to purchase Goods.

6.5 We will notify acceptance of your offer to purchase a product by sending an email advising that your Order has been accepted and despatched (“Acceptance Email”). This Acceptance Email constitutes acceptance by us of your offer and only at this stage is a binding contract created. Until this point you may vary or cancel your Order. We reserve the right to refuse any offer in your Order prior to the acceptance from us of the offer.

6.6 We must receive full payment of the price of Goods and the delivery charges before we can accept any offers to purchase Goods from the Website. Where you pay by credit or debit card we will process the payment at the time of preparing your Order of Goods for despatch.

7. Availability

7.1 All Orders are subject to availability.

7.2 Unfortunately, we cannot ensure permanent availability of all items although we will try our hardest. Once we have received your Order, if something is out of stock or is otherwise unavailable we will notify you of this by email. If an item is out of stock or is otherwise unavailable we will notify you by email or phone that the item is unavailable and suggest alternative items of Goods you may wish to order. On being notified that the item is unavailable, you may elect to (1) order an alternative item by providing us by email or phone with details of the item you would like to order; or (2) cancel the Order by notifying us by email or phone that you wish to do so.

7.3 If the product is temporarily out of stock we will notify you by email or phone of when we might be able to deliver that item to you and give you the option of accepting this longer delivery period; ordering one or more alternative items of Goods or cancelling your Order.

7.4 Any item which is unavailable will not be included in the contract for the Order of Goods which is despatched. Where you order an alternative item, this will be considered to constitute a variation of your original offer to purchase Goods from us, and a binding contract will not be created until this offer is accepted by us in the form of an Acceptance Email.

7.5 We reserve the right to withdraw any Goods from the Website at any time before we accept your offer to purchase an item, and we will not be liable to you, or anyone else, for withdrawing goods.

9. Delivery

9.3 Please note that Standard Delivery times may vary depending on location.

9.4 An estimated delivery time will be given in the Acceptance Email notifying you that your Order of Goods has been despatched. Although we will use all reasonable means to ensure that your Order of Goods is delivered within the time specified, we cannot accept responsibility for late deliveries that are due to circumstances outside our reasonable control. However, where reasonably possible, we will inform you if we become aware of any unexpected delay in delivery.

In the unfortunate event of an issue related to your delivery, please contact Us immediately and we will assist you in getting the issue resolved.  At point of delivery shortages /damages must be reported in writing/by email within 3 days of delivery of the goods.

11.1 We want you to enjoy and get the most out of our products. If you are not 100% satisfied with your purchase you can cancel your Order for any reason within 14 days of receipt of the Goods (“Statutory Cancellation Period”) for a full refund or an exchange credit.

To cancel your Order please email us at iain@iainsemplechemicals.co.uk or call us on 0141 848 7557.

The cancellation period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party, other than the carrier indicated by you, acquires physical possession of the last of the Goods.  This right to cancel for any reason under these Terms and Conditions is in accordance with the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013.

11.2 If you cancel your Order within the Statutory Cancellation Period and the Goods have been delivered, or are subsequently delivered to you, you must return the Goods to us within 14 days of cancellation and take reasonable care of them while they are in your possession. Details on how to return the Goods are given below. If Goods are not returned to us you will be charged for the direct costs incurred by us in recovering the Goods. Your obligation to take reasonable care of the Goods while they are in your possession extends to ensuring that items are not soiled or damaged while in your possession.

11.3 If you cancel your Order within the Statutory Cancellation Period we will refund the price of the Goods to the debit or credit card used in the original transaction within 14 days. If, however, we consider that reasonable care has not been taken of the Goods while they were in your possession we will seek to recover the cost of the Goods from you. This does not affect your statutory rights.

11.4 Returning Goods: You agree that you will have to bear the cost of returning the Goods. With chemical products, every care should be taken to protect yourself and the welfare of the persons and/or company handling and transporting the products, so please Contact Us for guidance on how to return Goods to Us safely.
