CONSUMER TERMS OF SALE
PLEASE READ THESE TERMS OF SALE CAREFULLY BEFORE PLACING YOUR ORDER AND
RETAIN A COPY OF THESE TERMS AND YOUR ORDER FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
1. Format of the Contract
1.1 These terms of sale apply to all goods supplied by Adventure Northumberland
Limited, whose registered office is at 10 Oak Drive, Lionheart Enterprise Park,
Alnwick, Northumberland, registered in England and Wales No. 6994080 (the
"Supplier", or "we", or "our").
1.2 Any order placed by you for goods advertised on our website is an offer by
you to purchase the goods selected in your order. No contract exists between
you and us for the sale of any goods until we have received your order and
accepted it (which we may do at our discretion).
1.3 We will send you an order acknowledgement shortly after you place your
order, notifying you that we have received your order. This acknowledgement is
not a notification that we have accepted your order.
1.4 If we accept your order, we will notify you by email that we have accepted
it prior to dispatch of the goods. If we cannot accept your order (for example
(but without limitation) because the goods are found to be unavailable) we will
notify you by telephone or email.
1.5 In the event that, after we accept your order, we discover that the goods
ordered are unavailable or that there was a pricing error on our website in
respect of the goods ordered, we reserve the right not to supply the goods
ordered and to offer you a refund or alternative goods in accordance with
conditions 2.2 to 2.4 below.
1.6 The contract is subject to your right of cancellation (see condition 7
below).
1.7 The Supplier may change these terms of sale without notice to you in
relation to future sales.
2. Description and price of the goods
2.1 The description and price of the goods you order will be as shown on the
Supplier´s website at the time you place your order.
2.2 If after acceptance of your order we discover within 14 days of such
acceptance that all of the goods are unavailable, we may terminate the contract
and refund or re-credit you within 7 working days for any sum that has been
paid by you or debited from your credit card for those goods. In these
circumstances, we will inform you as soon as possible.
2.3 If within 7 days of our acceptance of your order we discover that some but
not all of the goods are unavailable, we will no longer supply those
unavailable goods. In these circumstances we will contact you detailing the
goods that are unavailable and offer you the option of cancelling the whole
order or amending your order to substitute the unavailable items with
alternative goods. If you have not cancelled the order within 14 days of
receipt of such notice, we will deliver the available goods in accordance with
condition 4 below. We will refund or re-credit you for any sum that has been
paid by you or debited from your credit card in respect of the unavailable
goods or cancelled order (if you have cancelled it).
2.4 Every effort is made to ensure that prices shown on the Supplier´s website
are accurate at the time you place your order. If within 14 days of accepting
your order a pricing error is found in respect of any or all of the goods you
have ordered, we will notify you as soon as possible detailing the mis-priced
goods and offering you the option of:
2.4.1 placing a new order at the correct price for those goods;
2.4.2 cancelling the whole of your order; or
2.4.3 cancelling your order for the mis-priced goods and reconfirming your
order for the correctly priced goods.
If, within 14 days of receipt of our notice to you, you have not responded by
selecting one of the available options at conditions 2.4.1 to 2.4.3 above then:
(a) if all of the goods you have ordered are found to be mis-priced, the entire
order will be cancelled automatically and the Supplier will refund or re-credit
you for any sum you have paid for those goods; or
(b) if only some of the goods you have ordered are found to be mis-priced, our
contract with you continues and we will deliver the correctly priced goods but
we will not be obliged to supply you with the mis-priced goods. In these
circumstances we will refund or re-credit you for any sum you have paid for the
mis-priced goods.
2.5 To avoid any doubt, where goods are unavailable and you order alternative
goods from us, or where goods have been mis-priced and you subsequently order
such goods at the correct price, these terms of sale shall apply to the order
and the supply of the relevant goods, whether the order is placed through our
website or otherwise.
2.6 In addition to the price, you may be required to pay a delivery charge for
the goods, details of which are clearly displayed on our website at the point
that you place your order.

qualified cycle technician conform to British Standards.

reason of circumstances under control of the Supplier) then without prejudice

4.4.1 store the goods until actual delivery and charge you for reasonable costs
(including insurance) of storage; or
4.4.2 sell the goods at the best readily obtainable price and either (a), where

deducting all reasonable storage and selling expenses) for any excess over the
price you agreed to pay for the goods or charge you for any shortfall below the
price you agreed to pay for the goods or (b), where you have already paid for
the goods in question, account to you (after deducting all reasonable storage
and selling expenses) for any proceeds received.

the Distance Selling Regulations the Supplier shall refund or re-credit you
within 30 days for any sum that has been paid by you or debited from your

required to return the goods to the Supplier. Should you fail to return the

since receipt, then provided your item is within its warranty period, you are
entitled to a warranty repair.

return it, then in line with the Distance Selling Regulations (DSR) you can do
so provided you inform us of your decision within 7 days of receipt. The item
must not be used and must be 'as new' when returned to us. Once you've informed

so, at your own expense. Once the item is received by Adventure Northumberland,
we will issue a full refund for the product to your original payment method.
Please note this policy has some limitations and does not apply to business
customers.(The Distance Selling Regulations do not apply to Business customers)

to be faulty or incomplete are checked and verified by our staff. Any returned
items that are found not to be faulty or incomplete will be returned to you and
we shall be entitled to charge you for the return carriage costs via your
original payment method. In the event that your credit card has expired, or is
declined we will hold the item(s) until full payment has been made for the
return carriage.

strongly advise all our customers to take reasonable care when returning any
