5. Description of Products and availability

We have taken every care in the preparation of the content of this Website, in particular to ensure that as far as reasonably possible, prices quoted are correct at the time of publishing and that all Products have been fairly described.  If we discover an error in the description of the Product you have ordered we will inform you of the correct description and will give you the option to continue with the purchase. We will not process your order until we have your instruction. If we are unable to contact you using the contact details provided during the order process, we will treat the order as cancelled and notify you in writing. We will not be obliged to supply the Product with the incorrect description.

All prices and charges are inclusive of VAT unless expressly stated otherwise. Delivery charges may apply and these will be displayed in the order process. This Website contains a large number of Products and it is always possible, despite our best efforts, that some of the Products listed may be incorrectly priced. If we discover an error in the price of the Product you have ordered we will inform you of the correct price and will give you the option to continue with the purchase. We will not process your order until we have your instruction. If we are unable to contact you using the contact details provided during the order process, we will treat the order as cancelled and notify you in writing. We will not be obliged to supply the Product at the incorrect price.

We reserve the right to adjust prices, offers, Products and specifications of Products at our discretion at any time before (but not after) we accept your order. Where an end date is specified on any offer on the Website, it is intended as a guide only.

We have made every effort to display as accurately as possible the colours, sizes and measurements of our Products that appear on this Website. However, as the actual colours you see will depend on many factors – including your computer display settings, the colour of the Products you ultimately receive may differ slightly from the colours of the Products that appear on this website. The sizes and measurements may also differ slightly.

All Products are subject to availability and we will inform you as soon as reasonably possible if any Products that you have ordered are not available. Any delivery estimates given are estimates only.

Delivery will be completed when we deliver the Products to the address provided by you.

If you order Products from our Website for delivery to an address outside the UK, and we agree to deliver to such an address, your order may be subject to import duties and taxes which are applied when the delivery reaches that destination. Please note that we do not have control over these charges and we cannot predict their amount. You will be responsible for payment of any such import duties and taxes or any other associated charges. Please contact your local customs office for further information before placing your order. You must comply with all applicable laws and regulations of the country for which the Products are destined. We will not be liable or responsible if you break any such law or regulation.

6. Placing an Order

Orders can only be placed (and then cancelled) by you if you have registered your details with us. You will be requested to provide accurate and current information about yourself in order for us to process your order. No other person may place or cancel orders with us on your behalf. Your order is an offer to buy any Product or Products from us and is subject to acceptance by us. There will be no contract between you and Socking for the supply of any Products unless and until we accept your order.

At any time during the process of selecting your purchases you can monitor the Product(s) chosen by clicking on the "Shopping Cart" button. To remove any selected Product click on the "Remove item" button. You place the order for your Products on this Website by pressing the "Place Order now" button at the end of the checkout process and then "submit" on the payment page.

When placing an order you are requested to read and agree to these terms and conditions. Any orders placed by you must be placed in accordance with these terms and conditions. If you are unsure about any of the content of our terms and conditions please contact our customer service team and get personal help for all your product related questions by emailing info@socking.co

If we have to revise these terms and conditions as they apply to your order, we will contact you to give you reasonable advance notice of the changes and let you know how to cancel the order if you are not happy with the changes. You may cancel either in respect of all the affected Prodcuts or just the Products you have yet to receive. If you opt to cancel, you will have to return (at our cost) any affected Products you have already received. We will arrange a full refund of the price you have paid, including any delivery charges (irrespective of whether you have already received them).

7. Acceptance of your Order

After receipt of your order we will send you an order acknowledgement email detailing the Product(s) you have ordered and confirming prices.

If you do not receive this order acknowledgement email within 2 days of placing your order please contact our Customer Services department.

The order acknowledgement email is not an acceptance of your order. Acceptance of your order and formation of the contract will only take place once we have debited your credit or debit card and we have sent you a dispatch confirmation email (unless we have notified you that we do not accept your order). We will send you a dispatch confirmation email when the Product you have ordered is dispatched from our warehouse or stores. We are not liable should you not receive your confirmation email as a result of a mis-spelt email address.

We reserve the right to decline any order you place and/or to supply any Product ordered as a result of the Product you ordered being unavailable from stock, our inability to obtain authorisation for your payment, or if you do not meet the eligibility criteria set out in condition 2 (Access to and use of the Website).

The contract between you and us will be concluded in the English language.

8. Delivery and Remedies for missed delivery deadline in certain circumstances

For addresses within the UK mainland (including Northern Ireland), we aim to deliver your purchases as soon as possible. However please allow 7 working days from receipt of your order for delivery. Delivery to Highlands and Islands may take longer than our estimated 7 working days. 

Whilst we will endeavour to ensure that this estimated delivery time is met, we cannot accept any liability for late deliveries which are due to circumstances outside of our control (e.g. postal strike, courier backlog). You may cancel an order affected by circumstances outside your control. To cancel, please contact us using the details provided in condition 13. If you opt to cancel, you will have to return (at our cost) any relevant products you have already received and we will refund the price you have paid, including delivery charges.

We are happy to deliver to a work or other chosen address given when placing an order.

Orders will be sent to the delivery address that you specify when placing your order. We cannot be held responsible if this delivery address is incorrect. We will not be able to accept responsibility for lost or stolen items if at your request they have been left somewhere unsigned. We do prefer however that ALL packages are signed for. If you have not indicated that you would like the Products to be left somewhere without being signed for, or indicated a neighbour to whom we can deliver the Products instead, please contact us for re-delivery.

Parcels are send out from multiple locations. In some cases customers will receive more than one parcel if you a number of items have been ordered. 

On occasion items may be lost in transit. If this occurs, please contact our customer services team by emailing info@socking.co. Quote your order number and full delivery address and we will investigate the issue.

If we miss the delivery deadline for any Product and any of the following apply, then you may cancel your order straight away:

We have refused the Products

Delivery within the delivery deadline was essential (taking into the account all relevant circumstances); or

You told us before we accepted your order that delivery within the delivery deadline was essential

If you do not wish to cancel your order straight away, or do not have the right to do so under this condition 8, you can give us a new deadline for delivery, which must be reasonable, and you can cancel your order if we do not meet the new deadline.

If you do choose to cancel your order for late delivery under this condition 8, you can do so for just some of the Products or all of them, unless splitting them up would significantly reduce their value. If the Products have been delivered to you, you will have to return them to us and we will pay the cost of this. After you cancel your order we will refund any sums you have paid to us for the cancelled Products and their delivery.

9. Paying for your Products

You can pay for Products purchased from us by using any of the credit or debit cards which are displayed on the payment pages of this Website or via PayPal. We do not accept any other cards or any other method of payment (including without limitation, cash, cheques or postal orders). We do not accept gift vouchers for orders via the Website.

You are giving us authority for payment at the time of order, your card will be debited at this time. Ownership of the Products will not pass to you until your card has been debited and we send you the dispatch confirmation email. You confirm that the credit or debit card that is being used for payment is yours. All cardholders are subject to validation checks and authorisation by the card issuer. We will not deliver any Products prior to these checks and authorisations being completed. If your card issuer refuses to authorise payment to us, we cannot accept your order, and we will not be liable for any consequent delay or non-delivery.

10. Cancellations

Under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellations and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013, you have the right to cancel your order with us starting from the date that we send you the dispatch confirmation (which is when the contract is formed), until either:

14 days from the day after the day of receipt of your Product (the "Cancellation Period") if your contract is for a single product; or

14 days from the day after the day of receipt of the last of the separate Products ordered (the "Cancellation Period"), if your contract is for multiple Products which are delivered on separate days.

Subject to the below paragraph, should you cancel the contract within the Cancellation Period, we will then refund you:

The price you have paid for the Products 14 days after the day on which we receive the Product back from you or, if earlier, 14 days from the day on which you provide us with evidence that you have sent the Product back to us; or

If you have not received the Product(s), the price you have paid for the Products 14 days after the day you notified us of the cancellation.

Unless you have opted for collection at one of our stores, this refund will include the delivery charge paid by you (providing (i) you have cancelled your order within the Cancellation Period; or (ii) the Products are faulty or mis-described, in which case we will refund the delivery charges and any reasonable costs you incur in returning the Product(s) to us. In respect of a refund of the delivery charges paid by you, the maximum refund will be the costs of delivery by the least expensive delivery method we offer.

If we find that Products(s) has/have been used beyond what is necessary to establish its/their nature, characteristics and function, we will deduct from the refund the amount of any reduction in value (i.e. if you have worn the Product(s) rather than merely 'tried them on').

If you wish to cancel your order, you must notify us within the Cancellation Period that you have decided to cancel the contract. The easiest way to do this is to contact our Customer Services department. If you decide to cancel by email, your cancellation will be effective from the date you sent us the email.

You can expect a refund in the same form of payment originally used for the purchase (including vouchers) and you will receive an email confirming the refunded amount.

If you have received the Product(s) and you wish to return any of the Product(s), you must return the Product(s) to us without undue delay and in any event no later than 14 days after the day on which you let us know that you wish to cancel the contract ("Return Period"). The Products should be returned to the address stated in your delivery information. You must pay for the cost of any Products returned under this condition 10 (unless the Product(s) is/are damaged, faulty or mis-described, in which case we shall refund the full price of the Product(s), together with any applicable delivery charges and any reasonable costs you incur in returning the Products to us. If you do not return the Product(s) to us within the Return Period, we may charge you for the direct costs of recovering the Product(s) to us within the Return Period, we may charge you for the direct costs of recovering the Product(s) from you, which may result in a reduction (equivalent) to the costs of recovering the Product(s) from you, of the overall refund due to you, which may be in addition to any deductions made for a reduction in the value of the Products (following our assessment of condition of the Products) on their return to us.

We strongly recommend that you obtain proof of purchase when returning Products to us.
