All orders placed by you and purchases of goods from us (whether in-store, by telephone, via our website or by such other means as we may permit) are based on these Terms and Conditions and are subject to acceptance by us either:

  • delivering the goods to you; or
  • providing the goods that you have purchased to you in our retail showroom, at which point a legally binding contract is constituted between us.

Price and Payment

We must receive payment for the whole of the price of the goods we supply to you before delivery unless we have agreed otherwise in advance in writing.

All product prices on the website include VAT @ 20%.

Prices exclude delivery which will be calculated immediately prior to checkout.

While we try to ensure that all prices on our website are accurate, errors may occur. If we discover an error in the price of goods you have ordered, we will inform you as soon as possible and give you the option of reconfirming your order at the correct price or cancelling it. If we are unable to contact you we will treat the order as cancelled. If you cancel and you have already paid for the goods, you will receive a full refund. Prices in our showroom may vary to those shown on the website. 

All goods remain the property of World of Power.co.uk Limited until payment has been received in full.

By using a credit/debit card to pay for your order or purchase, you confirm that the card being used is yours or that you are authorised to use it.

All credit/debit card holders are subject to validation checks and authorisation by the card issuer. If the issuer of the card refuses to authorise payment we will not accept your order or purchase, we will not be obliged to inform you of the reason for the refusal, and we will not be liable for the item not being delivered or provided to you. We are not responsible for the card issuer or bank charging the holder of the card because of our processing of your credit/debit card payment in accordance with your order or purchase.

We recommend that you do not communicate your payment card details to anyone, including us, by email. We cannot be responsible for any losses you may incur in transmitting information to us by internet link or by email. Any such loss shall be entirely your responsibility.

For any orders over £1000 we reserve the right to ask for payment via BACS or Chaps transfer we will cover up to £25.00 pounds in Chaps charges where applicable. In these instances, no funds will be taken from your card. This will apply especially in cases where goods are not being delivered to the registered card address.

Please note whilst you will be able to place American Express orders online to a different delivery address it is our internal policy to only deliver these orders to the card holders address.  You will be contacted and asked if this is acceptable or will be offered the option to cancel your order.

 

Price Promise Products

We offer to match genuine prices on websites where the item is in stock for immediate dispatch where possible, excluding 3rd party websites such as EBay and weekend sale prices.  Price match will be on the product only and will not include any promotional items we offer when at full price.

Pricing Fluctuations

Due to continuing instability in world financial markets, both suppliers and manufacturers are being forced to constantly adjust their prices to reflect the instability of the dollar. Many of our products are sourced from abroad & those that are not are still made from imported materials so fluctuations in exchange rates cause us to continually monitor our prices.

Such variations mean that prices shown on this web site may occasionally be incorrect due to unforeseen increases in our buying price. Therefore, we may have to contact you with a price change before accepting your order. We will endeavour to control rising costs as much as possible but many of the price rises are out of our direct control.

What Are Our UK Delivery Charges?

As a business World of Power do all we can to keep delivery costs low. The cost of delivery is under review constantly and should prices decrease, these savings will be passed back to you our customer. No profit is made by World of Power on any delivery charges levied to the customer.

The cost of delivery is very dependant on the item(s) you are ordering and also the delivery postcode, for a delivery quote please enter all items into the shopping cart and enter your postcode this will give you accurate information on delivery costs and times.

We do not deliver to The Scottish Islands, Isle of Man, Scilly Isles, Channel Islands, and any countries outside of mainland UK. If you choose to purchase a product for forward delivery to an address outside our delivery area, should the item require any kind of repair or replacement, we can only collect the product from a UK address.

Delivery Schedule

Items in stock are normally despatched within 24-48 hours or 4-6days on a 'next day' or 'standard delivery' service depending which is chosen at checkout. Out of stock items are typically available within 4-6 working days and in stock items on a standard delivery are typically delivered within 2-3 days. Our customer service department will contact you if we foresee any delays beyond this, with the option to cancel or amend your order.

Before placing your order, please refer to the delivery options set out on our website to ensure that we can deliver to your address. A valid signature is required on collection or delivery and cannot be left without you’re prior authority, should you wish to authorise this please email [email protected].

You will be notified by email when your order is dispatched, this email will include your order consignment number and carrier contact details.

In the unlikely event that you have not received all the goods within the stated delivery time, you must notify us immediately. We cannot be held responsible for any orders delayed in the carrier system as this is beyond our control.

You must do all that you reasonably can to enable delivery to take place at the given time and place. If the parcel delivery fails the carriers will leave a calling card for you to re-arrange the delivery which must be done by you within 3 days. Several failed delivery attempts may incur a re-delivery fee which must be paid by you prior to re-arranging the re-delivery. For pallet deliveries the delivery must be accepted on the date arranged prior to the delivery, should this fail any cost of re-delivery shall be borne by you. If we are unable to arrange a date for re-delivery we may cancel your order and refund to you the price that you have paid for the goods, less the failed delivery costs.

For reasons of health and safety and to avoid any property damage, items dispatched via a pallet delivery service can only be delivered to the exterior of a ground floor location at the delivery address and on to hard standing. You must therefore make your own arrangements at your own risk if the relevant item needs to be transported from the delivery location. We will not provide any unpacking, installation, fitting or waste removal services upon delivery unless otherwise agreed by us in writing. The pallet will not be removed by the delivery driver; this will be down to you to dispose of.

Upon delivery of the goods to you or collection of the goods by you, the goods shall be at your risk and responsibility. Despite delivery or collection, ownership (also known as “title”) in the goods shall not pass to you until you have paid the price for the goods in full.

If you choose to arrange collection of a product by using your own carrier, we cease to be responsible for your consignment as soon as we hand them over to the carrier.

Back to top


 

Damage in Transit

If parcels / pallets are damaged or items are missing you should either refuse the delivery completely or sign for the parcels as being 'DAMAGED'.

If the number of parcels / pallets does not match or correspond to the consignment note, this must be stated as 'SHORT DELIVERY'.

Should you not have the time to check the parcel / pallet please sign for the goods as ‘UNCHECKED’.

It is your responsibility to ensure that the actions above are followed BEFORE SIGNING. Mistakes cannot be rectified once the number of packages has been signed for.

All carrier related damages and discrepancies must be reported to us within 2 working days via email. We will not be responsible for any carrier-related damage or loss reported outside of this 2-day period.

Pre-Delivery Inspection & Build Up Service

Premium Assembly Service

We now offer a premium assembly service on many petrol garden machinery items. Within this service we will PDI your chainsaw as normal, but rather than dismantling the chainsaw to fit back in the original packaging, we will leave the bar and chain assembled and re-package in an outer box to ensure your parcel arrives with you in satisfactory condition. 

The cost for this service is £9.99 (Inc. VAT) per item and you will be contacted by one of our sales agents to discuss this prior to the item’s despatch. This additional cost is to cover the additional packaging used.

This service is ideal for those who are not confidant in assembling the chainsaw themselves or first time chainsaw users / owners. We will not be held responsible for issues arising from incorrect assembly by you should you choose to assemble the item yourself.

Goods should be returned in their original packaging but, if this is not possible, you must make sure that you pack the item securely for forward transit. Please ensure that your name and address are clearly marked on the outside packaging so that we can identify it upon its receipt in our warehouse.

If your product is petrol powered, please ensure your machine is drained of all fuel and oil and is packed suitably and securely for carriage, preferably in its original packaging.

If the product has been used and returned within the 14-day period, the amount of refund will depend on the product’s condition and any cosmetic or other damage from use.

If you are returning items that were originally delivered by pallet, please be aware that the costs to send them back will be considerably higher than the standard the price you were originally charged for delivery and you may be charged any difference.

Any items purchased directly from our Buxton showroom can be returned within 14 days of purchase, anything out of this time must be prior agreed by management. Please note items purchased from the showroom being returned due to being incorrectly ordered OR they are no longer wanted / needed will be issued with a store credit.

Without prejudice to your right to cancel orders, if you have notified us of a problem with the goods within 30 days of delivery or collection, we may at our option either offer to replace or repair any goods that are damaged or defective upon delivery or collection or cancel the order (or part of the order affected) and refund to you the amount paid by you for the goods in question.

If an item develops a fault after 30 days following delivery or collection, and where the manufacturer has provided a helpline, repair service or warranty, you should contact the manufacturer direct. If there is no such service or warranty with the product, in most instances we will either offer a repair or where this is not possible we will replace the item with the same or an equivalent model.

We will not be liable to you, whether arising because of breach of contract or in tort or otherwise for any loss of profits, administrative inconvenience, disappointment, indirect or consequential loss or damage arising because of any problem in relation to the goods, although this does not exclude or limit our liability for death or personal injury resulting from our negligence. 

Wherever possible, we ask that all goods are returned in their original packaging with all accessories included such as manuals, attachments or freebies. If they are not, and other packaging and collection services are needed, we may ask you to pay the extra costs. You have a duty to take reasonable care of the goods whilst in your possession. All returned products of this nature are photographed on arrival at our goods in department.

WEEE Regulations

Recycling your old electricals is easy!

Recycle your electrical and electronic devices free at your local recycling centre. To find your nearest centre, visit the Recycle More website and type in your postcode.


Why recycle?

Unwanted electrical equipment is the UK’s fastest growing type of waste.

Many electrical items can be repaired or recycled, saving natural resources and the environment. If you do not recycle electrical equipment will end up in landfill where hazardous substances will leak out and cause soil and water contamination – harming wildlife and also human health.

We’re proud to support your local authority in providing local recycling facilities for electrical equipment.

To remind you that old electrical equipment can be recycled, it is now marked with the crossed-out wheeled bin symbol. Please do not throw any electrical equipment (including those marked with this symbol) in your bin.


What is WEEE?

The Waste Electrical or Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive requires countries to maximise separate collection and environmentally friendly processing of these items.


How are we helping?

In the UK, distributors including retailers must provide a system which allows all customers buying new electrical equipment the opportunity to recycle their old items free of charge. As a responsible retailer, we have met the requirements placed on us by financially supporting the national network of WEEE recycling centres established by local authorities. This is achieved through membership of the national Distributor Take-back scheme (DTS).

To find more information on WEEE recycling and to locate your nearest recycling centre please visit the Recycle More Website.

How We Protect Your Information

 

We endeavour to protect the information you provide and have various security procedures in place. Any payment transactions are handled entirely by our secure payment partners and are encrypted using Secure Socket Layer technology. This protects your data while being sent over the internet from being intercepted and misused by third parties. Once used for the purposes of your sales transaction, your credit or debit card data is destroyed.

 

All customer information entered via this website is stored on our secure servers, where it can only be accessed by authorised personnel for the purposes of processing customer orders. Trade account customers may also have access to some of their account details via this Website.

 

We have also installed a mechanism that uses digital server identities so that you can be sure that the website you access is our Website. This is done using one of the internet Trusted Certification Authorities. If you access any secure pages of our Website, your browser will be provided with an electronic certificate confirming that you have accessed our Website and all communications will be encrypted. Firewalls are used to block unauthorised traffic to the servers and the actual servers are in a secure location which can only be accessed by authorised personnel.

 

Log Files

 

As with most other websites, we collect and use the data contained in log files. The information in the log files include your IP (internet protocol) address, your ISP (internet service provider, such as BT), the browser you used to visit our site (such as Internet Explorer or Firefox), the time you visited our site and which pages you visited throughout our site. It does not include any personally identifiable information – we can’t tell who you are, only what you did while on our site. We use this information, in aggregate, to determine how many people visit our site, how they found us and if they experienced any problems on the site.

 

Cookies

 

A cookie is a small file which asks permission to be placed on your computer’s hard drive. Once you agree, the file is added and the cookie helps analyse web traffic or lets you know when you visit a site. Cookies also allow web applications to respond to you as an individual; the website can tailor its operations to your needs, likes and dislikes by gathering and remembering information about your preferences.

 

We use traffic log cookies to identify which pages are being used. This helps us analyse data about webpage traffic and improve our website to tailor it to customer needs. We only use this information for statistical analysis purposes. Cookies also enable our website to ‘remember’ your basket as you move from one page to another and to allow account holders to login to their accounts.

 

Overall, cookies help us provide you with a better website by remembering your shopping basket, allowing access to user accounts and enabling us to monitor which pages you find useful and which you do not. A cookie in no way gives us access to your computer or any information about you, other than the data you choose to share with us.

 

You can choose to disable or selectively turn off our cookies in your browser settings, or by managing preferences in programs such as Norton Internet Security. However, this can affect how you are able to interact with our site as well as other websites. This could include the inability to login to services or programs, such as logging into forums or accounts.

 

Review Requests

 

We use a service called Trust Pilot to gather customer reviews of our service so that new customers can buy from us in confidence. After you make a purchase from us, you may receive an email from Trust Pilot inviting you to leave a review of the service you received, but you are under no obligation to respond. Your data will only be used in the first instance to generate an automated email containing a unique link for you to leave a review.

 

If you choose to leave a review, this will be handled by the Trust Pilot website and this interaction will be governed by their Privacy Policy.

We aim to exceed our customer expectations as often as possible, however there may be rare occasions when a customer feels that they have not been treated fairly. If this is the case you agree that before posting any negative comments on any website, newsgroup, blog or other online resource you agree to write to the customer services manager explaining the problem and allowing 14 days to investigate and resolve the problem and/or respond in writing. If you are still dissatisfied then you agree to include the customer services reply in any online publication you make, to provide any readers with a balanced view.

 

Publication of negative material that is untrue will result in an action for libel against the publisher.
