Transit

We insure goods we deliver to you until they are delivered or collected or, (if we cannot deliver goods at the first attempt) until we make that first attempt, but after that time the goods will be at your risk, whether or not ownership has passed.

We are not liable for loss damage or shortcomings unless we receive written details within 7 days of the delivery of the item.

We are not liable for any claim for loss damage or shortcomings that should be apparent at delivery if you have acknowledged receipt without qualification about that loss damage or shortcoming.

Free ‘Take Back’ available under the WEEE Regulations

Corner Fridge Company Ltd offers customers a free ‘Take Back’ on their old electric items. This is offered on a like-for-like basis. Therefore if you purchase a Corner from us you can return your old Corner Fridge or cold room back to us and we will dispose of it in an appropriate manner under the WEEE regulations.

You have 28 days in which to return your old items to us and the cost of returning the items, if you buy your corner fridge from us online, is to be covered by you.

For your information, under the WEEE regulations:

All new electrical goods should be marked with the crossed-out wheelie bin symbol and be disposed of separately from normal household waste.

The amount of WEEE items we throw away is increasing by around 5% each year, making it the fastest growing waste stream in the UK. Recycling reduces the environmental and health risks associated with sending electrical goods to landfill.

Cancellation

If you are a consumer (non-business) buyer and you placed your order without ever visiting our showroom, seeing us at an exhibition or having other direct personal contact with us, and your order does not include any special option item, the Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations 2000 give you a right to cancel this contract up to the end of the 7 th working day after the day of delivery.

To exercise the right to cancel you must inform us in writing within that time limit. We will then arrange with you to collect the item. In the meantime you must take reasonable care of the item and not use it. The item must be in stock re-saleable condition in the original packaging. We will refund the money you have paid after deducting the cost of original delivery and of collection and return to our warehouse. If we refuse the item we will return it to you at your cost.

If you wish to return the goods more than 7 working days after we have delivered the goods to you, you must not have used them and must have kept them in the condition they were delivered. You must return them to us or request us to collect them, in either case at your cost. There will be an additional administration charge of 25% of the purchase price of the goods returned over and above the transport costs.

Otherwise, we reserve all our rights in law in respect of buyers who cancel or repudiate their contract including our right to retain a deposit.

Complaints and General

You become the owner of the goods once we are paid in full together with any interest due, or when we deliver whichever date is the later; until you are the owner you must not use them, but return them to us on demand.

Without affecting any other provisions of these Terms of Business we will in no event be under any greater liability to you than the cost to you of the item you have bought and we shall not be obliged to discharge that liability until the item in question has been returned to us.

The proper law of this agreement is English law and disputes will be arbitrated in England.
