7.1 We amend these Terms from time to time. Please look at the top of this page to see when these Terms were last updated.
7.2 Every time you order Products from us, the Terms in force at the time we provide the Order Confirmation will apply to the Contract between you and us.
7.3 We may revise these Terms as they apply to your order from time to time to reflect the following circumstances:
(a) changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements;
(b) changes in how we will accept payment from you; or
(c) material changes in Products in relation to which you have received an Order Confirmation that occur prior to your receipt of such Products.
7.4 If we have to revise these Terms as they apply to your order, we will contact you to give you reasonable advance notice of the changes and let you know how to cancel the Contract if you are not happy with the changes. You may cancel either in respect of all the affected Products or just the Products you have yet to receive. If you opt to cancel, you will have to return (at our cost) any relevant Products you have already received and we will arrange a full refund of the price you have paid, including any delivery charges.
8.1 You have a right to cancel a Contract during the period set out below in clause 8.3. This means that during the relevant period if you change your mind or decide for any other reason that you do not want to receive or keep a Product, you can notify us of your decision to cancel the Contract and receive a refund. If you are a consumer (in accordance with the Consumer Rights Act 2015), advice about your legal right to cancel the Contract is available from your local Citizens' Advice Bureau or Trading Standards office.
8.2 However, this cancellation right does not apply in the case of:
(a) Any made to measure, custom-made or personalised Products;
(b) Newspapers, periodicals or magazines (other than subscriptions which may be cancelled);
(c) Perishable goods including but not limited to food, drink and fresh flowers;
(d) Any sealed Products which are not suitable for return due to health protection or hygiene reasons as a result of you opening or unsealing such Products after delivery;
(e) Software, DVDs or CDs which have a security seal which you have opened or unsealed after delivery; or
(f) any Products which become mixed inseparably with other items after delivery.
8.3; You have the right to cancel your Contract from the date of the Order Confirmation (the date on which we e-mail you to confirm our acceptance of your order), which is when the Contract between us is formed. Your deadline for cancelling the Contract then depends on what you have ordered and how it is delivered, as set out in the table below:
Your Contract End of the cancellation period
Your Contract is for a single Product (which is not delivered in instalments on separate days). The end date is the end of the day 28 days after the day on which you receive the Product.
Example: if we provide you with an Order Confirmation on 22nd March and you receive the Product on 1st April you may cancel at any time between 22nd March and the end of the day on 28th April.
Your Contract is for either of the following:
Example: if we provide you with an Order Confirmation on 22nd March and you receive the first instalment of your Product or the first of your separate Products on 1st April and the last instalment or last separate Product on 4th April you may cancel in respect of all instalments and any or all of the separate Products at any time between 22nd March and the end of the day on 1st May.
8.4 To cancel a Contract, you just need to let us know that you have decided to cancel. The easiest way to do this is to complete the cancellation form. A link to the website cancellation form will be included in our Order Confirmation. If you use this method we will e-mail you to confirm we have received your cancellation.
You can also e-mail us at alzheimers.shop@partridgesuk.com, or contact our customer services team by telephone on 0333 366 0035, or write to us by post to Alzheimer’s Trading Limited, PO Box 8032, Eagle Avenue, Kettering, NN16 6WZ. If you are emailing us or writing to us please include details of your order to help us to identify it. If you send us your cancellation notice by e-mail or by post, then your cancellation is effective from the date you send us the e-mail or post the letter to us.
8.5 If you cancel your Contract we will:
(a) refund you the price you paid for the Products. However, please note we are permitted by law to reduce your refund to reflect any reduction in the value of the goods, if this has been caused by your handling them in a way which would not be permitted in a shop.
(b) refund any standard delivery costs you have paid to have the product delivered to you.
(c) make any refunds due to you as soon as possible and in any event within the deadlines indicated below:
(i) 14 days after the day on which we receive the Product back from you or, if earlier, the day on which you provide us with evidence that you have sent the Product back to us. For information about how to return a Product to us, see clause 8.8;
(ii) if you have not received the Product, within 14 days after you inform us of your decision to cancel the Contract.
8.6 If you have returned the Products to us under this clause 8 because they are faulty or mis-described, we will refund the price of the Products in full, together with any applicable delivery charges, and any reasonable costs you incur in returning the item to us.
8.7 We will refund you on the credit card or debit card used by you to pay, or by cheque for telephone and mail orders. If you used vouchers to pay for the Product, we may refund you in vouchers.
8.8 If a Product has been delivered to you before you decide to cancel your Contract:
(a) then you must return it to us without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days after the day on which you let us know that you wish to cancel the Contract;
(b) unless the Product is faulty or not as described (in this case, see clause 8.6), you will be responsible for the cost of returning the Products to us. If the Product is one which cannot be returned by post, we estimate that if you use the carrier which delivered the Product to you, these costs should not exceed the sums we charged you for delivery;
8.9 If you are a consumer (in accordance with the Consumer Rights Act 2015), we are under a legal duty to supply Products that are in conformity with this Contract. As a consumer, you have legal rights in relation to Products that are faulty or not as described. These legal rights are not affected by your right of return and refund in this clause 8 or anything else in these Terms. Advice about your legal rights is available from your local Citizens' Advice Bureau or Trading Standards Office.
9.1 We will send you a Dispatch Confirmation once the Products have been dispatched. Products will be dispatched within 14 days of our sending you the Order Confirmation (the date on which we e-mail you to confirm our acceptance of your order) unless we contact you to advise otherwise. Occasionally our delivery to you may be affected by an Event Outside Our Control. See clause 17 for our responsibilities when this happens.
9.2 If no one is available at your address to take delivery, we will either (a) deliver the Products to a neighbour who is available to take delivery or (b) leave you a note that the Products have been returned to our delivery depot, in which case, please contact the party identified on the delivery note to rearrange delivery. If you would prefer us not to deliver the Products to a neighbour, please specify this at the time you place your order.
9.3 Delivery of an Order shall be completed when we deliver the Products to the address you gave us (or to a neighbour as set out in clause 10.2) and the Products will be your responsibility from that time.
9.4 You own the Products once we have received payment in full, including all applicable delivery charges.
Clause 9.5, 9.6 and 9.7 only apply if you are a consumer.
9.5 If we miss the 14 days UK delivery deadline or 28 days for international shipping for any Products then you may cancel your Order straight away if any of the following apply:
(a) we have refused to deliver the Products;
(b) delivery within the delivery deadline was essential (taking into account all the relevant circumstances); or
(c) you told us before we accepted your order that delivery within the delivery deadline was essential.
9.6 If you do not wish to cancel your order straight away, or do not have the right to do so under clause 9.5, you can give us a new deadline for delivery, which must be reasonable, and you can cancel your Order if we do not meet the new deadline.
9.7 If you do choose to cancel your Order for late delivery under clause 9.6 or clause 9.7, you can do so for just some of the Products or all of them, unless splitting them up would significantly reduce their value. If the Products have been delivered to you, you will have to return them to us or allow us to collect them, and we will pay the costs of this. After you cancel your Order we will refund any sums you have paid to us for the cancelled Products and their delivery.
10.1 Due to current issues with overseas delivery beyond our control, unfortunately we do not currently offer this service.
11.1 The prices of the Products will be as quoted on our site at the time you submit your order. We take all reasonable care to ensure that the prices of Products are correct at the time when the relevant information was entered onto the system. However please see clause 11.6 for what happens if we discover an error in the price of Product(s) you ordered.
11.2 Prices for our Products may change from time to time, but changes will not affect any order which we have confirmed by way of an Order Confirmation.
11.3 The price of a Product includes VAT (where applicable) at the applicable current rate chargeable in the UK for the time being. However, if the rate of VAT changes between the date of your order and the date of delivery, we will adjust the VAT you pay, unless you have already paid for the Products in full before the change in VAT takes effect.
11.4 A number of our daily living aids products are eligible for VAT relief for people who are living with dementia, carers or people considered chronically sick or disabled. For more information on this, please refer to our VAT Relief page. Please note that it is an offence to falsely claim that you or the person you are buying for is eligible for VAT Relief.
11.5 The price of a Product does not include delivery charges. Our delivery charges are as advised to you during the check-out process, before you confirm your order. To check relevant delivery charges, please refer to our Delivery and Returns pages.
11.6 Our site contains a large number of Products. It is always possible that, despite our reasonable efforts, some of the Products on our site may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices as part of our dispatch procedures so that:
(a) where the Product's correct price is less than the price stated on our site, we will charge the lower amount when dispatching the Products to you; and
(b) if the Product's correct price is higher than the price stated on our site, we will contact you in writing as soon as possible to inform you of this error and we will give you the option of continuing to purchase the Product at the correct price or cancelling your order.
Please note that if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as a mispricing, we do not have to provide the Products to you at the incorrect (lower) price.
We will not process your order until we have your instructions. If we are unable to contact you using the contact details you provided during the order process, we will treat the order as cancelled and notify you in writing.

13.2 If you are a consumer, a manufacturer's guarantee is in addition to your legal rights in relation to Products that are faulty or not as described. Advice about your legal rights is available from your local Citizens' Advice Bureau or Trading Standards office.
14.1 For Products which do not have a manufacturer's guarantee, we provide a warranty that on delivery and for a period of 12 months from delivery, the Products shall be free from material defects. However, this warranty does not apply in the circumstances described in clause 14.2.
14.2 The warranty in clause 14.1 does not apply to any defect in the Products arising from:

15.5 Except as expressly stated in these Terms, we do not give any representation, warranties or undertakings in relation to the Products. Any representation, condition or warranty which might be implied or incorporated into these Terms by statute, common law or otherwise is excluded to the fullest extent permitted by law. In particular, we will not be responsible for ensuring that the Products are suitable for your purposes.
This clause 16 only applies if you are a consumer.
16.1 If we fail to comply with these Terms, we are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breach of these Terms or our negligence, but we are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable.

19.1 We may transfer our rights and obligations under a Contract to another organisation, but this will not affect your rights or our obligations under these Terms. We will always notify you by posting on this webpage if this happens.
19.2 You may only transfer your rights or your obligations under these Terms to another person if we agree in writing. However if you are a consumer and you have purchased a Product as a gift, you may transfer the benefit of our warranty in clause 14 to the recipient of the gift without needing to ask our consent.
