  8. YOUR RIGHTS TO END THE CONTRACT

    1. You can always end your contract with us.

      Your rights when you end the contract will depend on what you have bought, whether there is anything wrong with it, how we are performing and when you decide to end the contract:

      (a) If what you have bought is faulty or misdescribed you may have a legal right to end the contract (or to get the product repaired or replaced or a service re-performed or to get some or all of your money back), see Clause 11;

      (b) If you want to end the contract because of something we have done or have told you we are going to do, see Clause 8.2;

      (c) If you have just changed your mind about the product, see Clause 8.3. You may be able to get a refund if you are within the cooling-off period, but this may be subject to deductions and you will have to pay the costs of return of any goods;

      (d) In all other cases (if we are not at fault and there is no right to change your mind), see Clause 8.7. 

    2. Ending the contract because of something we have done or are going to do.

      If you are ending a contract for a reason set out at (a) to (e) below the contract will end immediately and we will refund you in full for any products which have not been provided and you may also be entitled to compensation. The reasons are:

      (a) we have told you about an upcoming change to the product or these terms which you do not agree to (see Clause 6.2);

      (b) we have told you about an error in the price or description of the product you have ordered and you do not wish to proceed;

      (c) there is a risk that supply of the products may be significantly delayed because of events outside our control;

      (d) we have suspended supply of the products for technical reasons, or notify you we are going to suspend them for technical reasons, in each case for a period of more than one month; or

      (e) you have a legal right to end the contract because of something we have done wrong.

    3. Exercising your right to change your mind (Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013).

      For most products bought online you have a legal right to change your mind within 14 days and receive a refund. These rights, under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, are explained in more detail in these terms.

    4. Our goodwill guarantee.

      Please note, these terms reflect the goodwill guarantee offered by Pearson 1860 of to its UK customers, which is more generous than your legal rights under the Consumer Contracts Regulations in the ways set out below. This goodwill guarantee does not affect your legal rights in relation to faulty or misdescribed products (see Clause 11.2):

      Right under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013

      How our goodwill guarantee is more generous

      14 day period to change your mind.

      28 day period to change your mind.

      Consumer to pay costs of return

      We pay the costs of return in the UK only.

       

    5. When you don't have the right to change your mind.

      You do not have a right to change your mind in respect of:

      (a) products that have been personalised for you, or made to your specific measurements;

      (b) services, once these have been completed, even if the cancellation period is still running;

      (c) products sealed for health protection or hygiene purposes, once these have been unsealed after you receive them;

      (d) sealed audio or sealed video recordings or sealed computer software, once these products are unsealed after you receive them; and

      (e) any products which become mixed inseparably with other items after their delivery.

    6. How long do I have to change my mind?

      How long you have depends on what you have ordered and how it is delivered.

      (a) Have you bought services (for example, a bike-fitting or mechanical service)? If so, you have 30 days after the day we email you to confirm we accept your order. However, once we have completed the services you cannot change your mind, even if the period is still running. If you cancel after we have started the services, you must pay us for the services provided up until the time you tell us that you have changed your mind.

      (b) Have you bought goods?, if so you have 28 days after the day you (or someone you nominate) receives the goods, unless your goods are split into several deliveries over different days. In this case you have until 14 days after the day you (or someone you nominate) receives the last delivery to change your mind about the goods.

    7. Ending the contract where we are not at fault and there is no right to change your mind.

      Even if we are not at fault and you do not have a right to change your mind (see Clause 8.1), you can still end the contract before it is completed, but you may have to pay us compensation. A contract for goods is completed when the product is delivered and paid for. A contract for services is completed when we have finished providing the services and you have paid for them. If you want to end a contract before it is completed where we are not at fault and you have not changed your mind, just contact us to let us know. The contract will end immediately and we will refund any sums paid by you for products not provided but we may deduct from that refund (or, if you have not made an advance payment, charge you) reasonable compensation for the net costs we will incur as a result of your ending the contract

      (c) Where the product is a service, we may deduct from any refund an amount for the supply of the service for the period for which it was supplied, ending with the time when you told us you had changed your mind.

We take all reasonable care to ensure that the price of the product advised to you is correct. However please see Clause 12.3 for what happens if we discover an error in the price of the product you order.

    2. We will pass on changes in the rate of VAT.

      If the rate of VAT changes between your order date and the date we supply the product, we will adjust the rate of VAT that you pay, unless you have already paid for the product in full before the change in the rate of VAT takes effect.

    3. What happens if we got the price wrong.

      It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the products we sell may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices before accepting your order so that, where the product’s correct price at your order date is less than our stated price at your order date, we will charge the lower amount. If the product’s correct price at your order date is higher than the price stated to you, we will contact you for your instructions before we accept your order. If we accept and process your order where a pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could reasonably have been recognised by you as a mispricing, we may end the contract, refund you any sums you have paid and require the return of any goods provided to you.

    4. When you must pay and how you must pay.

      We accept payment with Visa, Mastercard, Maestro, American Express, ApplePay, and PayPal. When you must pay depends on what product you are buying:

    1. We may transfer this agreement to someone else.

      We may transfer our rights and obligations under these terms to another organisation.

    2. You need our consent to transfer your rights to someone else (except that you can always transfer our guarantee).

      You may only transfer your rights or your obligations under these terms to another person if we agree to this in writing. However, you may transfer our guarantee at Clause 8.4 to a person who has acquired the product or, where the product is services, any item or property in respect of which we have provided the services. We may require the person to whom the guarantee is transferred to provide reasonable evidence that they are now the owner of the relevant item or property.

    3. Nobody else has any rights under this contract (except someone you pass your guarantee on to).

      This contract is between you and us. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms, except as explained in Clause 15.2 in respect of our guarantee. Neither of us will need to get the agreement of any other person in order to end the contract or make any changes to these terms.

    4. If a court finds part of this contract illegal, the rest will continue in force.

      Each of the paragraphs of these terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect. 

    5. Even if we delay in enforcing this contract, we can still enforce it later.

      If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking this contract, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date. For example, if you miss a payment and we do not chase you but we continue to provide the products, we can still require you to make the payment at a later date.

    6. Which laws apply to this contract and where you may bring legal proceedings.

      These terms are governed by English law and you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the products in the English courts. If you live in Scotland you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the products in either the Scottish or the English courts. If you live in Northern Ireland you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the products in either the Northern Irish or the English courts.

    7. Alternative dispute resolution.

      Alternative dispute resolution is a process where an independent body considers the facts of a dispute and seeks to resolve it, without you having to go to court.
