ORDERS

ORDER PROCESS

Any order (for products and/or services) will only be accepted if received from within the United Kingdom and from a person over the age of 18.

All orders are subject to acceptance and availability. If any goods or services ordered are not available, you will be notified by email or telephone and you will have the option either to wait until the item is available from stock, order a replacement item or to cancel your order. It is your responsibility to provide us with a valid email address and telephone number so that we can contact you if necessary. Any orders placed by you will be treated as an offer to purchase the goods or services from us and we have the right to reject such offers at any time prior to acceptance.

You shall be responsible for ensuring the accuracy of the details provided at the time of ordering and we will not accept an order unless all details requested have been given correctly. You acknowledge that any automated acknowledgement of your order that you may receive from us shall not amount to our acceptance of your offer to purchase goods or services from us.

We will take all reasonable care, in so far as it is in our power to do so, to keep the details of your order and payment secure, but in the absence of negligence on our part we cannot be held liable for any loss you may suffer.

DELIVERY

Goods and/or services will be delivered to you, the buyer, at the address provided by you at the time of order.

We can deliver to an address other than the billing address, but please note that extra documentation may be needed to comply with such orders. You must notify us of any changes to delivery address at the time of order; we may not be able to process such changes after the order has been accepted.

A signature may be required by an adult aged 18 years or over on delivery of certain goods or services.
You will become the owner of goods you have ordered when we have received and processed full cleared payment from you.
Any dates quoted for delivery of goods or services are approximate only and we shall not be liable for any delays however caused. If, however, we are unable to deliver your goods by the date quoted for delivery, you, the buyer, shall be entitled to cancel the order at any time before delivery takes place. This does not affect your other rights to refund/cancelation, as outlined in the returns section below.

PAYMENT

All payments must be received in Pound Sterling and paid by BACS (direct bank transfer). At our discretion, orders may be paid by cash, Paypal or credit/debit card. Commercial Paypal/credit/debit card orders may be subject to surcharge. If your preferred method of payment is not available, you will be given the opportunity to pay by a different method within 30 days.

Prices for delivery (in the case of goods) are quoted for delivery within 5 Miles of Chesterfield Town Centre, unless otherwise specified. Prices for call-out services (including all at-home repairs, setup, upgrades, clean-ups, etc.) are quoted for delivery within 5 Miles of Chesterfield Town Centre, unless otherwise specified.

Where permitted by consumer law, we reserve the right, by giving notice to you, the buyer, at any time before delivery to increase the price of goods or services to reflect any increase in the cost to us, which is due to any factor beyond our control (such as, without limitation, any foreign exchange fluctuation, significant increase in the costs of labour, materials or other costs of manufacture). In the unlikely event of there being such an increase in the price of goods or services you, the buyer, shall be entitled to cancel the order at any time before delivery, without any penalty. This does not affect your other rights to refund/cancel, as outlined in the returns section below. In the unlikely event that the price or description of an item or service has been incorrectly advertised, we will contact you by email or telephone to ask whether you wish to proceed with your order with the correct price or description. If you are not happy to proceed, or we are unable to obtain your instructions, we will cancel the order. Any payment already taken will be refunded in full. 

When you pay for your order by credit or debit card, PayPal or iZettle may carry out checks or 'authorisations' with the card issuer for security reasons. Should any problems occur with the authorisation of your card, we, PayPal or iZettle may contact you with further details.

RENEWAL PAYMENTS

Some of our services (such as web hosting, domains or email services) automatically renew every six months (unless specifically stated otherwise). If you would not like your services to renew, you must provide us with 14 working days notice of receiving a renewal invoice from us (or before) - any services used or provided since the renewal date will still be charged up to the date of cancellation.

OVERDUE PAYMENTS

If full payment is not received within 30 days of an order being accepted or invoiced (whichever is earlier), we may begin proceedings to reposes the goods and/or suspend any of the services we currently supply. Once your services are suspended, we may delete any data held on our servers immediately, including any backups. You remain liable for any reasonable costs incurred while we (or our appointed agents): attempt to contact you regarding payment; attempt collection of payment; suspend or attempt to suspend your services, or; supply any goods or services prior to the date of suspension.

For overdue commercial debt, the total payable balance shall increase with statutory interest at 8% (plus the Bank of England base rate) each year, pro rata, beginning at the date payment was due.

ELIGIBILITY

To be eligible to purchase goods or services from us (either through Our Website or otherwise) and lawfully enter into and form contracts with us, you must:

  • If an individual, be 18 years of age or over; and
  • Stipulate a delivery address in the United Kingdom; and
  • Provide your real name, address, phone number, email address and any other details we required.

REGISTRATION

You warrant that:

  • The personal information which you are required to provide when you request any quote, place an order, book a call-out or use our Live Support service is true, accurate, current and complete in all respects; and
  • You are not impersonating any other person or entity; and
  • You will notify us immediately of any changes to your personal information by contacting Customer Services

CANCELLATION AND REFUNDS

CANCELLATION AND MONEY-BACK PROMISE

You are legally entitled (under consumer law) to cancel any contract completed with us within 14 calendar days after the day of receipt of the goods or services. You cannot cancel a contract for computer software which has been unsealed (unless faulty, see Damaged and Faulty Goods). Likewise, you cannot cancel a contract for consumable or digital goods which, by their nature, cannot be returned, except where a fault has been discovered that could not have been identified without unsealing the goods.

If you do cancel a contract, then you must notify us by contacting Customer Services. You must retain possession of any goods and ensure that such goods are kept in the same condition (unopened and unused) as they were when they were delivered until such time as the goods are collected by us. We will notify you of when we wish to collect the goods, which will usually be within 7 days of us receiving your notification of cancellation. If permitted by law, we may charge reasonable fees (up to £5 for collections within the Chesterfield Area) for any collection of the goods from your delivery address. The total sum refunded to you will include any delivery costs originally paid.

DAMAGED OR FAULTY GOODS

You must examine goods on arrival before signing for them. You are entitled to a refund of the full purchase price including postage and packing of an item which is delivered in a damaged or faulty condition or which develops a fault within 6 months from delivery (other than due to normal wear and tear, failure to follow instructions or misuse). You cannot return computer software which has been unsealed. Likewise, you cannot return consumable goods which, by their nature, cannot be returned, except where a fault has been discovered that could not have been identified without unsealing the goods.

At your choice, we can replace the faulty/damaged item with the same or a similar product of same value (subject to availability), or we can repair the item free of charge (as long as the cost to us is less than replacement). Alternatively, you can keep the faulty/damaged product and negotiate a price reduction with us to an appropriate amount taking the defect into consideration. Once you have received a price reduction for the fault, you may not make any further claims for the damaged product which are in relation to the same fault.

If a product is discovered to be damaged or faulty, please contact us immediately. You should allow up to 28 days for us to process the return and make collection (if applicable). We will normally refund you using the same payment method that you used to purchase the goods. This does not affect your statutory rights.

KIANO.NET LIMITED PRODUCT WARRANTY

On certain repairs carried out by us and products sold by us, you may be eligible for free repair or replacement by us up to 18 months from the date of delivery. You will be notified of eligibility once your product or service has been delivered and fully paid for, as no job/sale automatically qualifies for the Kiano.Net Limited Product Warranty. The Kiano.Net Limited Product Warranty does not apply to commercial/business customers. You will be provided with a copy of the Kiano.Net Limited Product Warranty.
The offering of this warranty does not operate to limit your rights to claim against any other warranty (whether provided by law, manufacturer or us), thus not affecting your statutory rights. The Kiano.Net Limited Product Warranty is limited by these Conditions, and the additional conditions as printed on your copy of the limited warranty.
