respects, be better for you, eg by giving you rights as a business.

the day on which the Contract is entered into.
27.
In any case, regardless of
events beyond our control, if we do not deliver the Goods on time, you can (in
addition to any other remedies) treat the Contract at an end if:
a.
we have refused to deliver the
Goods, or if delivery on time is essential taking into account all the relevant
circumstances at the time the Contract was made, or you said to us before the
Contract was made that delivery on time was essential; or
b.
after we have failed to deliver
on time, you have specified a later period which is appropriate to the
circumstances and we have not delivered within that period.
28.
If you treat the Contract at an
end, we will (in addition to other remedies) promptly return all payments made
under the Contract.

the Contract at an end, but do not do so, you are not prevented from cancelling
the Order for any Goods or rejecting Goods that have been delivered and, if you
do this, we will (in addition to other remedies) without delay return all
payments made under the Contract for any such cancelled or rejected Goods. If
the Goods have been delivered, you must return them to us or allow us to
collect them from you and we will pay the costs of this.
30.
If any Goods form a commercial
unit (a unit is a commercial unit if division of the unit would materially
impair the value of the goods or the character of the unit) you cannot cancel
or reject the Order for some of those Goods without also cancelling or
rejecting the Order for the rest of them.
31.
We do not generally deliver to
addresses outside England and Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, the Isle of
Man and Channels Islands. If, however, we accept an Order for delivery outside
that area, you may need to pay import duties or other taxes, as we will not pay
them.
32.
You agree we may deliver the
Goods in instalments if we suffer a shortage of stock or other genuine and fair
reason, subject to the above provisions and provided you are not liable for
extra charges.

through no fault of ours, to take delivery of the Goods at the Delivery
Location, we may charge the reasonable costs of storing and redelivering them.

responsibility from the completion of delivery or Customer collection. You
must, if reasonably practicable, examine the Goods before accepting them.
Risk and
Title
35.
Risk of damage to, or loss of,
any Goods will pass to you when the Goods are delivered to you.
36.
You do not own the Goods until
we have received payment in full. If full payment is overdue or a step occurs
towards your bankruptcy, we can choose, by notice to cancel any delivery and
end any right to use the Goods still owned by you, in which case you must
return them or allow us to collect them.
Withdrawal, returns and cancellation
37.
You can withdraw the Order by
telling us before the Contract is made, if you simply wish to change your mind
and without giving us a reason, and without incurring any liability.
38.
This is a distance contract (as
defined below) which has the cancellation rights (Cancellation Rights) set
out below. These Cancellation Rights, however, do not apply, to a contract for
the following goods (with no others) in the following circumstances:
a.
goods that are made to your
specifications or are clearly personalised;
b.
goods which are liable to
deteriorate or expire rapidly.
39.
Also, the Cancellation Rights
for a Contract cease to be available in the following circumstances:
a.
in the case of any sales
contract, if the goods become mixed inseparably (according to their nature)
with other items after delivery.
Right to cancel
40.
Subject as stated in these
Terms and Conditions, you can cancel this contract within 14 days without
giving any reason.
41.
The cancellation period will
expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party, other
than the carrier indicated by you, acquires physical possession of the last of
the Goods. In a contract for the supply of goods over time (ie subscriptions),
the right to cancel will be 14 days after the first delivery.
42.
To exercise the right to
cancel, you must inform us of your decision to cancel this Contract by a clear
statement setting out your decision (eg a letter sent by post or email).
You can use the attached model cancellation form, but it is not obligatory. In
any event, you must be able to show clear evidence of when the cancellation was
made, so you may decide to use the model cancellation form.
43.
You can also electronically
fill in and submit the model cancellation form or any other clear statement of
the Customer's decision to cancel the Contract on our website www.directbedsandsofaoutlet.co.uk. If
you use this option, we will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt
of such a cancellation in a Durable Medium (eg by email) without delay.
44.
To meet the cancellation
deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your
exercise of the right to cancel before the cancellation period has expired.
Effects of cancellation in the cancellation period
45.
Except as set out below, if you
cancel this Contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you,
including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if
you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard
delivery offered by us).
Deduction for Goods supplied
46.
We may make a deduction from
the reimbursement for loss in value of any Goods supplied, if the loss is the
result of unnecessary handling by you (ie handling the Goods beyond what is
necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the
Goods: eg it goes beyond the sort of handling that might be reasonably allowed
in a shop). This is because you are liable for that loss and, if that deduction
is not made, you must pay us the amount of that loss.
Timing of reimbursement
47.
If we have not offered to
collect the Goods, we will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not
later than:
a.
14 days after the day we
receive back from you any Goods supplied, or
b.
(if earlier) 14 days after the
day you provide evidence that you have sent back the Goods.
48.
If we have offered to collect
the Goods or if no Goods were supplied, we will make the reimbursement without
undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed
about your decision to cancel this Contract.
49.
We will make the reimbursement
using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless
you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees
as a result of the reimbursement.
Returning Goods
50.
If you have received Goods in
connection with the Contract which you have cancelled, you must send back the
Goods or hand them over to us at 7 merchant
way, South Yorkshire, DN2 4BH without
delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you
communicate to us your cancellation of this Contract. The deadline is met if
you send back the Goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You agree
that you will have to bear the cost of returning the Goods.
51.
For the purposes of these
Cancellation Rights, these words have the following meanings:
a.
distance contract means a
contract concluded between a trader and a consumer under an organised distance
sales or service-provision scheme without the simultaneous physical presence of
the trader and the consumer, with the exclusive use of one or more means of
distance communication up to and including the time at which the contract is
concluded;
b.
sales contract means a
contract under which a trader transfers or agrees to transfer the ownership of
goods to a consumer and the consumer pays or agrees to pay the price, including
any contract that has both goods and services as its object.

the Goods in conformity with the Contract, and will not have conformed if it
does not meet the following obligation.
53.
Upon delivery, the Goods will:
a.
be of satisfactory quality;
b.
be reasonably fit for any
particular purpose for which you buy the Goods which, before the Contract is

unreasonable for you to rely, on our skill and judgment) and be fit for any
purpose held out by us or set out in the Contract; and
c.
conform to their description.
54.
It is not a failure to conform
if the failure has its origin in your materials.
55.

a reasonable time, give you the benefit of the free guarantee given by the
manufacturer of the Goods. Details of the guarantee, including the name and
address of the manufacturer, the duration and territorial scope of the

Successors
and our sub-contractors

benefit of this Contract to someone else, and will remain liable to the other

acts of any sub-contractors who it chooses to help perform its duties.
Circumstances
beyond the control of either party
58.
In the event of any failure by
a party because of something beyond its reasonable control:
a.
the party will advise the other
party as soon as reasonably practicable; and
b.
the party's obligations will be
suspended so far as is reasonable, provided that that party will act
reasonably, and the party will not be liable for any failure which it could not
reasonably avoid, but this will not affect the Customer's above rights relating
to delivery and any right to cancel, below.
