Information about us
-
1.1 www.gantuk.com is a site operated by Gant UK Ltd (we). We are registered in England and Wales under company number 2474645 and with our registered office at 2 Basil Street, Knightsbridge, London SW3 1AA. Our VAT number is 629 8502 14.
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. This does not mean that your order has been accepted. Your order only constitutes an offer to us to buy a Product. All orders are subject to acceptance by us and subject to availability, and we will confirm such acceptance to you by sending you an e-mail that confirms that the Product has been dispatched (the Dispatch Confirmation). The contract between us (Contract) will only be formed when we send you the Dispatch Confirmation.
-
2.2 The Contract will relate only to those Products whose dispatch we have confirmed in the Dispatch Confirmation. We will not be obliged to supply any other Products which may have been part of your order until the dispatch of such Products has been confirmed in a separate Dispatch Confirmation.
3 Delivery
-
3.1 We will try and fulfil your order by the delivery date set out in the Dispatch Confirmation or, if no delivery date is specified within a reasonable time of the date of the Dispatch Confirmation. Delivery dates are not guaranteed and time of delivery is not of the essence.
-
3.2 The Products will be at your risk from the time of delivery. Ownership of the Products will only pass to you when we receive full payment of all sums due in respect of the Products, including delivery charges.
4 Price and payment
-
4.1 The price of any Products will be as quoted on our site from time to time, except in cases of obvious error.
-
4.2 Unless otherwise stated, these prices exclude delivery costs, which will be added to the total amount due. The prices include VAT at the current UK rate of 17.5% and all sales taxes. For purchases made in ROI, VAT will be calculated at check out; this is done by removing the UK VAT amount and adding on the ROI VAT at 21.5%. For purchases made in the Channel Islands no VAT will be charged.
-
4.3 Prices are liable to change at any time, but changes will not affect orders in respect of which we have already sent you a Dispatch Confirmation.
-
4.4 Our site contains a large number of Products and it is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the Products listed on our site may be incorrectly priced. We will normally verify prices as part of our dispatch procedures so that, where a Product's correct price is less than our stated price, we will charge the lower amount when dispatching the Product to you. If a Product's correct price is higher than the price stated on our site, we will normally, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before dispatching the Product, or reject your order and notify you of such rejection.
-
4.5 We are under no obligation to provide the Product to you at the incorrect (lower) price, even after we have sent you a Dispatch Confirmation, if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as a mis-pricing.
-
4.6 Payment for all Products must be by credit or debit card. We accept payment with Visa/Mastercard. The credit/debit card being used must be yours. All credit/debit card holders are subject to validation checks and authorisation by the card issuer. If the issuer of your payment card refuses to authorise payment, we will not be liable for any delay or non-delivery of your order. In the event that your card authorisation and validation is declined, we reserve the right to cancel your order. By submitting an order to us through our website you represent and warrant the payment details provided on your order are valid and correct and when your order is accepted and processed by us, payment will be made in full and you hereby give your authorisation for us to carry out such other checks as we may deem appropriate.
