We will not be responsible for variations between the description of the Goods on our Website and the manufacturer's specifications, and the latter shall prevail. We will also not be responsible for minor variations in specification, colour or other design features, and no such minor variation shall entitle you to rescind the Contract, reject the Goods or be the subject of any claim against us.

Delivery Timescales

We will use reasonable efforts to deliver the Goods by the delivery dates or within the delivery timescales stated in the Ordering Web Pages, or our standard delivery timescales stated on our Website, if a specific timescale has not been stated in the Ordering Web Pages. However, delays are occasionally inevitable due to unforeseen factors beyond our control and therefore delivery times are not guaranteed. If we do not make a delivery date and we fail to deliver within a further 30 days, then you may cancel the Contract and obtain a refund of any amounts you have paid under the Contract. This shall be our sole liability and your sole remedy for late or non-delivery.

If delivery is attempted within our stated delivery hours and you are not present to collect the Goods or you unreasonably refuse to take delivery of the Goods, then we may charge you our reasonable costs of returning the Goods to the depot, our reasonable costs of storage, and our reasonable charge for re-delivering the Goods at another time. We will give you the option of collecting the Goods from our premises or requesting further delivery attempts (at reasonable charge). We will store the Goods for a maximum of 2 months, after which we may sell the Goods and account to you for the proceeds less our reasonable storage costs.

Delivery Note

All deliveries must be signed for before our carrier will release them to you. Signing for delivery is for simple proof of receipt purposes and will not affect any of your other rights. Please make sure you keep the packing list enclosed with your Goods, as this will be important if you are returning the Goods later on.

Installation

Inspection on delivery

When you receive the Goods you should immediately inspect them for damage and faults, and you should inform us by end of the following Working Day if you do not consider that you have received the Goods you ordered, and within 10 Working Days of receipt of the Goods if you consider that the Goods are faulty or damaged, otherwise the Goods will be considered to have been correctly delivered, free from damage or faults and in Good working order. This will be without prejudice to any damage or fault you could not have discovered on reasonable inspection of the Goods.

Risk

Risk in the Goods shall pass to you on delivery.

Retention of Title

Title to the Goods passes to you on delivery, unless the Price or any other amount payable by you is outstanding at delivery, in which case title is retained by us until you have paid in full the Price and all other amounts payable under the Contract. You agree that we may still sue for the Price, notwithstanding that title has not passed. You also agree that your right to possession and use of the Goods shall cease if any amount payable by you under the Contract becomes overdue, or you enter into liquidation or administration, and that we shall be entitled to enter any premises where the Goods are kept for the purposes of repossessing them.

Cancellation Right

Your Right to Cancel

To enable you to have a reasonable opportunity to try out the Goods, we give you the right to cancel the Contract in accordance with the following terms. You can do this by giving us notice before you receive the Goods, or by giving notice no later than 14 days after the day you received the Goods. We reserve the right to refuse a cancellation in our sole discretion if we believe in our reasonable opinion that this right is being abused (such as you are not genuinely using it just to evaluate the Goods).

When can I NOT cancel?

You are allowed to open the Goods and try them out before cancelling, but you will not be able to cancel if:

The Goods were made to your specifications or are personalised to you;
The Goods cannot be returned by reason of their nature (for instance you have opened or used any pack of paper) or are liable to deteriorate or expire rapidly or the item is dated for instance a diary or calendar;
The Goods are software or audio or video products and you open any seals;

How do I cancel?

If you wish to exercise your right to cancel then you can do this by one of the following methods:-

Phoning us on 0818-730-730 with your order reference number to hand;
Writing to us at M2 Office Supplies, Dock Road, Limerick quoting your order reference number

(Don't worry if you don't have your order reference number to hand; this won't affect your rights, but it will save time if you can quote it).

What must I do with the Goods?

If you decide to cancel you must stop using the Goods immediately and you must immediately return the Goods to us at the address we specify. We may in our discretion agree or decide to collect the Goods from you, or send to you a pre-paid package (e.g. a jiffy bag) to return the Goods to us in. In such event you must make the Goods available on request and promptly return any Goods using any such package. However, if we do not agree to do so, then you are responsible for arranging for bringing the Goods to us yourself, or having the Goods posted or couriered back to us. If you fail to return the Goods to us, we may charge you our direct costs of collecting the Goods from you. Until you return the Goods to us you must keep hold of the Goods and take reasonable care of them, and if you send the Goods back to us you must ensure that they are received by us and are not damaged in transit, otherwise your right of cancellation will cease. If you are not able to return the Goods in a condition consistent with your having taken reasonable care of them, or with all packaging and other items supplied with the Goods, we may charge you for any reduction in value of the Goods as a result.

When do I receive my Refund?

If you decide to cancel, we will refund you within 30 days of the date that you cancel, or if later. within 30 days of return of the Goods to us, less any direct costs in recovering the Goods which we are entitled to charge you, and less any other amounts that we are entitled to charge. We will not be required to refund any charge you paid for any extended cancellation period, extended warranty or enhanced rights over those set out in these Terms and Conditions, or any Delivery Charges, and associated VAT.
