1. INFORMATION ABOUT US
We are Velobin Limited, a company registered in England and Wales under company number 12993054 and with our registered office at 202 Fazeley Street, Birmingham B5 5SE, UK.
2. HOW THE CONTRACT IS FORMED BETWEEN YOU AND US
2.1 After placing an order, you will receive an e-mail from us acknowledging that we have received your order (the “Order Acknowledgment”). Please note that this does not mean that your order has been accepted. Your order constitutes an offer to us to buy a Product. All orders are subject to acceptance by us, and we will confirm such acceptance to you by sending you an e-mail that confirms that we have accepted your order (“Despatch Confirmation”). The contract between us (“Contract”) will only be formed when we send you the Despatch Confirmation.
2.2 The Contract will relate only to those Products we have confirmed in the Despatch Confirmation. We will not be obliged to supply any other Products which may have been part of your order until we have confirmed acceptance of your order for those other of such Products within a separate Despatch Confirmation.
3. CONSUMER RIGHTS
3.1 If you are contracting as a consumer, you may cancel a Contract at any time within 14 days, beginning on the day after you received the Products. In this case, you will receive a full refund of the price paid for the Products in accordance with our refunds policy (set out in clause 7 below).
3.2 To cancel a Contract, you must inform us in writing. You must also return the Products to us immediately, in the same condition in which you received them, and at your own cost and risk and in accordance with Our Returns Policy. You have a legal obligation to take reasonable care of the Products while they are in your possession. If you fail to comply with this obligation, we may have a right of action against you for compensation.
3.3 Details of your statutory right of cancellation, and an explanation of how to exercise it, are provided in the Order Acknowledgement. This provision does not affect your other statutory rights as a consumer.

6.1 The price of the Products and our delivery charges will be as quoted on Our Site from time to time, except in cases of obvious error.

(a) because you have cancelled the Contract between us within the 14-day cooling-off period (see clause 3.1 above), we will process the refund due to you as soon as possible and, in any case, within 14 days of receipt of the Product. In this case, we will refund the price of the Product in full, and any applicable standard delivery charges. You will be responsible for the cost of returning the item to us.
(b) for any other reason, we will examine the returned Product and will notify you of your refund via e-mail within a reasonable period of time.
