PART ONE – purchase of products from Plank
This part sets out:
- your legal rights and responsibilities;
- our legal rights and responsibilities; and
- certain key information required by law.
If you buy products on the Website, you agree to be legally bound by the Terms.
Your privacy and personal information
Our Privacy Policy, including our cookie policy is available here. Any personal information that you provide to us will be dealt with in line with our Privacy Policy, which explains what personal information we collect from you, how and why we collect, store, use and share such information, your rights in relation to your personal information and how to contact us and supervisory authorities if you have a query or complaint about the use of your personal information.
Ordering products from us
This is how a legally binding contract for the purchase of products (the Contract) is made between you and us:
- You place an order on the Website by adding products to your shopping cart and proceeding to the checkout. Please review and check your order carefully before submitting it for payment. You will be able to correct any errors before submitting your order to us.
- When you place your order at the end of the online checkout process (i.e. when you click to submit payment), we will acknowledge it by email and, in some circumstances, text message. This acknowledgement does not mean that your order has been accepted by us.
- We may contact you via the information you provided to us to say that we do not accept your order. This is typically for the following reasons:
- the products are unavailable;
- we cannot authorise your payment;
- you are not allowed to buy the products from us;
- we are not allowed to sell the products to you;
- you have ordered too many products; or
- there has been a mistake on the pricing or description of the products.
- We will only accept your order when we email you to confirm acceptance (the Confirmation Email). At this point the Contract is legally binding and we will dispatch the products that you have ordered to you.
We reserve the right, but are not obligated, to limit the sales of our products to any person, geographic region or jurisdiction or to persons that, in our sole judgment, appear to be placed by dealers, resellers or distributors. We may exercise this right on a case-by-case basis. We reserve the right to limit the quantities of any products or services that we offer.
Right to cancel
As explained above, in most circumstances, you have the right to cancel the Contract within 14 days without giving any reason (the Cancellation Period).
The Cancellation Period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire physical possession of the products. This applies regardless of whether you acquire the products directly or indirectly via someone else (apart from our carrier).
To use your right to cancel, you must inform us of your decision to cancel the Contract by a clear statement using the contact details at the beginning of these Terms. An example of this cancellation request is available here. You must tell us that you would like to use your right to cancel before the Cancellation Period has expired.
The above describes your legal rights. In practical terms, once you have received the goods you may use our 60 day returns process to return unwanted goods to us and obtain a refund. This process is described in our Refund Policy.
Effects of cancellation
If you cancel the Contract, we will refund you all payments received from you, including the costs of standard delivery. If you chose a more expensive type of delivery, we will not refund the difference between standard delivery and the more expensive type of delivery.
We may make a deduction from this refund for any reduction in the value of the products we supplied to you if the reduction is due to unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the refund as soon as possible and not later than 14 days after the day we received the returned products from you.
Unless you have expressly agreed otherwise, we will make the refunds using the same payment method that you used for the initial transaction.
Unless we have advised you otherwise, you are required to return any products received from us following cancellation.
If you’re a UK-based customer and your parcel is under 20kg, simply visit our online returns portal here.
You must ensure that all products returned to us are well packaged, in the original packaging where possible, so that they arrive in original condition.
