Language

The official language of this site and any contract between us is English.

Prices

All prices indicated for products and services available via the Site are inclusive of VAT (where applicable) at the current rates and are exclusive of delivery charges. The total cost of your order is the price of the products and services ordered and any delivery charges.

Product and service descriptions

BCAM takes all reasonable care to ensure that details, descriptions, images and prices of products and services appearing on the Site are correct at the time when the relevant information was entered onto the system; however, to the extent permitted by applicable law, we do not warrant that the product descriptions, colours or other content available on the Site are accurate, complete, reliable, current, or error-free. Although we aim to keep the Site as up to date as possible, the information including product and service descriptions appearing on this Site at a particular time may not always reflect the product or service exactly at the moment an order is placed. BCAM cannot confirm the price of a product until your order is accepted in accordance with our order acceptance policy (below).

Purchases

The products and services available on the Site and any samples of them that we may provide to you, are for personal use only. You may not sell or resell any of the products that you purchase or otherwise receive from us. We reserve the right, with or without notice, to cancel or reduce the quantity of any orders that we believe, in our sole discretion, may result in the violation of our Terms and Conditions.

Placing orders and acceptance of orders

Users will be guided through the process of placing an order for a product or service by a series of simple instructions on the Site. You will be offered the opportunity to review your proposed order and confirm or correct it prior to finally placing your order. You place your order request for goods or services from our Site by clicking on the Submit button at the end of the on-line order process. Once you have placed your order, we will send to you an email acknowledgement providing you with the details and value of your order, which has been debited to your credit/debit card. This is not an order acceptance from us.

Unless we have notified you that we do not accept your order or you have cancelled your order by contacting us prior to dispatch, our acceptance of your order and the completion of the contract between you and us will take place when we have dispatched the goods ordered by you. To cancel your order after it has been dispatched to you, you will need to follow the Returns Procedure on our website. 

If you require a VAT invoice or if you require any information regarding your order(s) please contact info@bcam.ac.uk

We may not accept your order if an item you have ordered is out of stock, we are unable to obtain authorisation for your payment, we suspect fraudulent activity or violation of these Terms and Conditions (including our Privacy Policy) or if we identify a product or pricing error. If we are unable to fulfil your order following our order acknowledgement, we will contact you by email advising you of this.

Payment

Payment may be made by any of the methods specified in the Payment sections of the site. You confirm that the payment method, credit or debit card that is being used is yours or that you are otherwise authorised to use them. All credit/debit cardholders are subject to validation checks and authorisation by the card issuer. If the issuer of your payment card refuses or does not, for any reason, authorise payment to us, whether in advance or subsequent to a payment, we will not be liable for any delay or non-delivery of services or products.

Title to goods and services

BCAM retains the legal ownership of the goods until full payment has been made by you and such payment has been received by us. Legal ownership of the goods will immediately revert to us if we refund any such payment to you.

Risk of Loss

Risk of the goods will pass to you upon delivery to you.

Delivery (if applicable)

BCAM will deliver the goods in accordance with any delivery options selected during the order process. Any delivery timescales quoted to you are indicative only. Orders may be delivered in one or more parts. We do not accept any liability whatsoever for delayed delivery caused by any third party which will include postal or delivery services.

Acceptance of goods and services

Clients will be deemed to have accepted the goods or services provided by the Site unless you notify us that you have cancelled the order and/or you return the goods to us in accordance with the instructions. If no such action is taken we shall not be obliged to accept any rejection of the goods or services at a later date. Your statutory rights are not affected.

Providing that you notify us of your intention to return items within 14 days of receipt, you may return re-saleable items within 28 days of receipt at your own cost for a refund of the original cost from us.
