 2   DELIVERY, PACKING AND HANDLING

 2.1   Any date quoted for delivery of the Goods are approximate only and EMWC shall not be liable for any delay in delivery of the Goods, howsoever caused.

2.2    Delivery shall take place by such method as EMWC may, in its absolute discretion decide, to the delivery destination, on or as close to the delivery date as is reasonably practicable in all the circumstances.

2.3   In the event that the Consumer requires a delivery on a day or time outside of EMWC normal delivery hours (Monday to Friday, 0830 – 1800), EMWC reserves the right to make an additional charge that will reflect the actual charge being raised by the agent making the delivery and shall advise the Consumer of any such additional charge when the order is confirmed. For the avoidance of doubt, the delivery date is approximate only, and time shall not be of the essence for delivery.

2.4    Delivery of the Goods shall be deemed to have taken place when they have been delivered to the delivery destination as nominated by the Consumer.

2.5       Where delivery of goods has been agreed with the consumer for a specific date and the delivery is alleged to have not taken place, the onus of notification of non delivery lies with the consumer. Non delivery needs to be advised to EMWC within 10 working days of the agreed delivery date. EMWC cannot be responsible for loss of goods, alleged or otherwise, where the non delivery advice timescale has not been observed. As tracking information is supplied by a third party (courier company) EMWC cannot be held responsible for its accuracy in cases of non delivery or incorrect delivery.

 2.6   In the event that payment for the Goods has been, or is to be, made using a debit or credit card, then EMWC reserves the right to only deliver the Goods to the registered address of the card holder of that card.

2.7    If, for any reason, the Consumer is unable to accept delivery of the Goods when the Goods are due and ready for delivery, then EMWC may, in its absolute discretion, arrange the storage of the Goods and the Consumer shall be liable to EMWC for the reasonable costs (including insurance) of such storage. After a period of six months from date of placing the order and the formation of the contract, EMWC reserves the right to dispose of the Goods in these circumstances. A 30 day notice of intention of disposal will be given. This provision is without prejudice to any of EMWC rights in relation to a failure by the Consumer to take delivery of the Goods or pay for them in accordance with the Terms of the Contract.

2.8    EMWC reserves the right to add a packing and insurance charge to any order to protect any Goods during transit.

 

2.9    Refusing Delivery

In the event of a Consumer refusing delivery, EMWC reserves the right to charge in full for the attempted delivery and additionally, the cost of having the goods returned to EMWC. These charges will be deducted from any monies due as part of a refund. Where delivery is being made to a third party, the onus is on the Consumer making the purchase to ensure that the third party is aware of the delivery details. In the event of a third party refusing delivery, the full cost of delivery and collection will be deducted from any monies due as part of a refund to the purchaser.

Where delivery has been attempted to a third party (and refused) EMWC reserve the right to deliver the goods to the premises of the Consumer placing the order for any subsequent attempts at delivery.

2.10       Delivery/Shipping Offers

EMWC reserve the right to make special offers on delivery/shipping from time to time. These offers are limited to the UK mainland only. They specifically exclude shipping to the Scottish Isles and Highlands, Jersey, Guernsey and the Channel Isles, the Isle of Man and Northern Ireland.  Orders shipped to Europe, including the Republic of Ireland and the rest of the world are also specifically excluded from these offers.

3    BREAKAGES, DAMAGES AND INCORRECT ORDERS

EMWC must be notified of any damage or defect in the quality or condition of the Goods, or any incorrect products or a shortage of products within 24 hours of receipt of the Goods by the Consumer. This is required via email to customerservice@eastmidlandswater.com. Requests for photographic evidence of any breakage, damage or error should be supplied via email, as and when requested. We are unable to replace or refund an item that has been damaged, where notification falls outside of the 24hour receipt window.

4   RETURNS

4.1   Cancellation prior to despatch.

If the Consumer wishes to cancel the order prior to dispatch (excluding standing order arrangements) we will endeavour to refund the payment in full within 14 days. The Consumer may cancel the order at any point prior to dispatch. This must be done via telephone in the first instance and followed up by email, as there can be no guarantee that the email will be read in time to stop the order being processed. If only an email notification is received, no guarantee can be given that the order has been cancelled prior to despatch and delivery charges will still be incurred. The customer is responsible for returning the product(s) at their own cost.

4.2    Cancellation after receipt of Goods – 14 day cooling off period – ordered via the EMWC website and/or via the telephone.

The Goods must have been ordered via the EMWC website and/or via the telephone with the assistance of an EMWC operative. The Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations will apply.

  • The Consumer must tell EMWC that they no longer require their Goods, within 14 days of delivery, via email to returns@eastmidlandswater.com or in writing using recorded delivery. No other form of communication for returns can be accepted.

4.2.1 Consumers will be issued with a Returns Code and detailed instructions as to how to return the goods on receipt of their email/letter. We aim to provide a returns code within 3 working days of request, where possible.

Return codes are valid for 14 days only.

4.2.2 Failure to use a specific EMWC Returns Code issued for the sole purpose of the return of specific goods may result in the goods being refused. We will be unable to issue a refund in these circumstances.

4.2.3 Failure to return the goods within the specified time frame will result in the goods being refused and returned to the sender. We will be unable to issue a refund in these circumstances.

4.2.4 Return codes are issued for specific items only and cannot be used for a non authorised return or any other purpose. If additional goods are returned that do not have authorisation, the items will remain the property of the consumer and the onus will be on the consumer to retrieve the items(s) from EMWC.

4.2.5 Unauthorised returns are not eligible for a refund in any circumstances. After a period of 30 days EMWC reserve the right to dispose of unauthorised returns with no further communication with the owner of the goods.

4.2.6 The Goods must not have been installed or used in any way.

4.2.7 Consumers exercising their right to cancel after the Goods have been delivered, will be responsible for returning the Goods at their own cost and in a re-saleable condition. Returned Goods will only be accepted if they are returned in their original packaging, complete, unused and with all instruction manuals. Goods must be in a condition to be able to return to stores, as new, which includes free of odour. Where repackaging is necessary on a returned item, a repackaging charge will be raised. Details of charges will be included in the email notifying the Consumer of their Returns code.

The Consumer has a statutory duty to take good care of the Goods during this 14 day cancellation period and to return the Goods to EMWC using a safe and reliable method.

4.2.8 Delivery charges to customers are not reflective of actual delivery charges that EMWC pay to couriers. As such, delivery charges are regarded as subsidised. EMWC reserve the right to retain any actual costs, (as opposed to the cost that the consumer has paid) incurred in delivering the Goods to the Consumer as part of the original delivery. This includes circumstances where the consumer has been given free delivery. The actual cost of delivery will be deducted from the refund amount. 

4.2.9 Consumers are responsible for obtaining proof of delivery, insurance during transit and proof of receipt of returned Goods with their courier company. EMWC can accept no liability for Goods received damaged on return or non-arrival of Goods.

4.3  Partial Returns. Where Goods are purchased as part of a promotional package and are retained by the Customer and subject to agreement with EMWC, EMWC reserve the right to re-charge the items at normal retail price.

4.3.1 Where Goods have been purchased as part of a special offer (where an item or items have been part of a discounted package) if a customer opts to return part of the discounted package, the refund due on the returned item will be the discounted price and not the full price. EMWC reserve the right to request all items of a discounted package to be returned in order to fulfil the refund. Where a customer fails to return all items, the charge for the retained items will be the retail price of the item plus an additional £40 administration charge. The total amount will be deducted from the refund due.

Where Goods are being returned, EMWC reserves the right to incur charges of up to £35.00 to cover new packaging including but not limited to, the examination of the goods and any administration costs.

4.4  We aim to process refunds within 14 days. This is from the point at which the returned goods have been confirmed as returned to stock, after checking and repacking, which is not necessarily immediately on receipt of the goods. Courier confirmation of delivery is not the  start date of processing the refund. Holiday periods and short working weeks (Christmas, Easter, Bank Holidays) will be taken into account where a refund is due. Public holidays fall outside of the 14 day refund period due to staff annual leave. 

Returned Goods are subject to the Terms of Return being fulfilled, as detailed in section 4 of these Terms and Conditions.

4.5  Refusal of Goods at point of delivery (for any reason). Should items be refused at point of delivery, EMWC reserve the right to deduct all transportation costs from any refund that might be due. This includes the cost EMWC incurs from the refusal of goods and return to EMWC by the courier.

 4.6 Exemptions

There are circumstances where we are unable to accept a return/offer a refund.

4.6.1   Orders placed at a Trade Show or other face to face environments are not eligible for cancellation and/or refund, in any circumstances. The Consumer Rights Act of 2015 refers and as such is classed as a face to face transaction which is subject to different laws, compared to online selling.

4.6.2    Bespoke/Special order Goods made to consumers own specifications cannot be returned, in any circumstances, unless faulty. In the case of a fault to bespoke/special order items, a replacement will be supplied, subject to fault testing and necessary checks by EMWC.

Where a purchase is a ‘business to business’ transaction and goods are returned/rejected as at point 4.2.12 of these terms and conditions, actual transportation charges will be deducted from any refund due, regardless of whether a transportation fee was charged at point of sale, or not.

5          STANDING ORDER PAYMENTS

Where a customer has opted to pay for products or services by a standing order arrangement contract, the agreement will remain in place until such time as the agreement is cancelled in writing by the customer. The onus for cancelling any bank standing order payment remains with the owner of the bank account or their legal representative. In these circumstances, any payments made towards products or services will be held on account and can be used against future purchases. Refunds cannot be made against these payments when the option to take goods or services has been cancelled.

 6    CUSTOMER LOYALTY OFFERS

EMWC may offer customer loyalty schemes whereby incentives are given for the return of reusable items for recycling. Where these offers are current, all elements of the item must be returned in order to maximise the value of the loyalty offer.
