YOUR STATUS
By placing an order through the portal, you make a binding contractual promise (or ‘warranty’) that you are legally capable of entering into binding contracts; that you are a Business User and (where applicable) you are at least 18 years old; and if you are an individual placing an order on behalf of a Business User, you are authorised to place it on their behalf. In these terms and conditions “Business User” shall mean a legal entity or person who buys or agrees to buy Products other than for private use.

HOW THE CONTRACT BETWEEN YOU AND US IS FORMED
3.1
After placing an order, you will receive an e-mail from us acknowledging that we have received your order. Please note that this does not mean that your order has been accepted. Your order constitutes an offer to us to buy a Product. All orders are subject to acceptance by us, and we will confirm such acceptance to you by dispatching your order, together with an invoice or dispatch note (the Confirmation). The contract between us (Contract) will only be formed when we send you the Confirmation. If we do not accept your order for any reason we will contact you to discuss your order.
3.2
The Contract will relate only to those Products whose dispatch we have confirmed in the Confirmation. We will not be obliged to supply any other Products which may have been part of your order until the dispatch of such Products has been confirmed in a separate Confirmation.
4
OUR STATUS
4.1
Please note that in some cases, we accept orders for Products as resellers of third party products (for example SIM cards for selected mobile networks). The contract to use those third party Products will be between you and that third party seller and is subject to their terms and conditions or sale and/or terms of use. They will advise you of these directly, usually when you install or first use their product or service. You should carefully review those terms and conditions.
4.2
We may also provide links on the portal to the websites of other companies, whether affiliated with us or not. We cannot promise that third party Products which you purchase through the portal, or from companies to whose website we have provided a link on the portal, will be of satisfactory quality, and we do not give any promise about those companies or their products and services. This disclaimer does not affect your statutory rights against the third party seller. We will notify you when a third party is involved in a transaction, and we may disclose your customer information related to that transaction to the third party seller.
5
CONSUMERS
5.1
We do not wish to accept orders from individual consumers via the portal. You should only place an order with us if you are a Business User or otherwise in the course of operating a business. Please contact sales@csldual.com if you are a private consumer and wish to order a Product.
6
AVAILABILITY AND DELIVERY
We aim to fulfil your order within 2-3 working days or if not, within a reasonable period. If we cannot fulfil it within a reasonable period, we will inform you at the time you place the order by a note on the relevant web page, or by contacting you directly after you place your order. Please note we cannot deliver to PO Boxes or BFPO addresses.
7
HANDOVER OF RESPONSIBILITY FOR AND OWNERSHIP OF THE PRODUCTS
7.1
You will be responsible for looking after the Products from the time of delivery to your delivery address, or any other location you gave for delivery.
7.2
Ownership of the Products will only pass to you on the later of delivery of the Products to you or when we receive full payment of all sums due in respect of the Products (including delivery charges). We may recover any Products supplied at any time prior to ownership passing if you are in breach of these terms and conditions. This clause shall not apply to any intellectual property rights (as we only transfer ownership of the physical product not for example any software embedded in it). You should notify us promptly following delivery of any missing, incorrectly delivered, incorrect specification or otherwise not as ordered Products or Products which are either in damaged packaging or are visibly damaged; following discovery of any non-visible damage or defect in Product supplied.
8
PRICE AND PAYMENT
8.1
The price of any Products will be as quoted on the portal website from time to time, except in cases of error.
8.2
The amount of VAT in our prices is always specified. Prices given on the portal pages exclude delivery costs. These will be displayed with the total amount due when you go to your portalping basket, prior to you paying for your order.
8.3
We may change our prices at any time, but changes will not affect orders for which we have already sent you a Confirmation.
8.4
Our site contains a large number of Products and it is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the Products listed on the portal website may be incorrectly priced. We will normally verify prices as part of our dispatch procedures so that, where a Product's correct price is less than our stated price, we will charge the lower amount when dispatching the Product to you. If a Product’s correct price is higher than the price stated on the portal website, we will normally, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before dispatching the Product, or reject your order and notify you of such rejection.
8.5
We are under no obligation to provide the Product to you at the incorrect (lower) price, even after we have sent you a Confirmation, if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as a mis-pricing.
8.6
Payment for all Products must be by credit or debit card, or by invoice if you have a trading account with us. We accept payment by the credit and debit cards which are displayed on the card payment web page. If you are paying by credit or debit card we will charge it when you click the order button. This charge will automatically be confirmed to you. You should print out or save a copy of this confirmation for your own records.
9
OUR REFUNDS POLICY
9.1
As a Business User you may only reject Product for material non-conformity with the Product’s description by providing written notice to us within 7 days after delivery or otherwise you shall be deemed to have accepted the Products. Where Product can be returned to us by you under these terms, it should be made available for collection at a time which is mutually convenient insofar as possible. You should act reasonably in complying with a request by us to collect a Product at a particular time.
9.2
If you are dissatisfied with the Product(s), or have any other concern with it/them, please email our team on sales@csldual.com or call 01895 474474.
