1. Purchase from a Member Store

While United Hardware DAC operates the www.homevalue.ie website (“Site”), when you purchase goods through the Site you are buying goods from an independently owned member of United Hardware DAC which you nominate when you begin shopping (the “Member Store”).   The terms and conditions (“Sales Terms”) apply to any product you order and purchase from the applicable Member Store.  

By placing an order, you are offering to purchase a product on and subject to the following sales terms. When placing an order you undertake that all details you provide to us are true and accurate.

2. Orders

• By placing an order, you are offering to purchase a product on and subject to the following sales terms. When placing an order you undertake that all details you provide to us are true and accurate.
  
  
• All orders are subject to availability and confirmation of the order price. The cost of products may fluctuate.  All prices advertised are subject to such changes.  Whilst every effort is made to ensure that descriptions and prices which appear on the Site are accurate, errors may occur.  If an error is discovered in the price of any goods which you have ordered, you will be informed as soon as possible and will be given the option of reconfirming your order at the correct price or, at your discretion, cancelling your order.  If we are unsuccessful in making contact with you, we will treat the order as cancelled.  If you cancel and have already paid for the goods, you will receive a full refund. All product descriptions, information and material postage on this Site are provided “as is” and without warranties expressed, implied or otherwise howsoever arising.
  
  
• After placing an order, you will receive an email acknowledging your order.  Please note that this does not mean that your order has been accepted.  Your order constitutes an offer to buy a product or service.  All orders are subject to acceptance by the applicable Member Store, and such acceptance will be confirmed when you receive an email that confirms that your order has been accepted.  The contract between you and the applicable Member Store will only be formed when the confirmation of the acceptance of your order has issued.
  
• Rejection of order
  The applicable Member Store  has the right to reject orders, for example, because a product is unexpectedly out of stock or where the price listed on the Site was incorrect. The Member Store or United Hardware DAC will not be liable to you or any other third party by reason of the withdrawal of any product from their Site or for refusing to process or accept an order after it has been received or an acknowledgement of receipt has been sent.
  
  

3. Prices and payment

• Prices are displayed in euro only on the Site and are inclusive of VAT but exclude delivery charges, if applicable.  However, if the rate of VAT changes between your order date and the date the product is supplied, the rate of VAT that you pay is adjusted to incorporate the change, unless you have already paid in full before the change in the rate of VAT takes effect.  Delivery charges will be notified to you and applied after you select the applicable delivery method.
  
  
• Payments via Visa, Mastercard, credit/debit cards, Maestro, PayPal are acceptable.  All payments are subject to authorisation by the card issuer.  Card payments are subject to validation checks and authorisation by your card issuer. Member Store takes payment for the products on or after confirmation of acceptance of the order.  If the card issuer fails to authorise the payment, the Member Store will not be liable for any delay or non-delivery and may not be able to proceed with your order.  The Member Store must receive full payment for the order at the time the order is processed and before the product is dispatched.
  
  

4. Delivery & Collection

• You may select to have your products delivered to the delivery address as chosen by you or you may collect the item from the applicable Member Store if you choose this option when you place your order.
  
  
• Where you have chosen to pick up an order from the applicable Member Store, the goods should be collected within 5 days from the date you are notified they are available to collect from the Member Store. You will be advised by email when the order is ready for collection. If the order is not collected within 10 days a refund will be processed automatically and a refund confirmation email will be sent to you. The refund payment will be processed back through the original method of payment.
  
  
• The Member Store will endeavour to have your product delivered as indicated on the Site when you chose your delivery method. Orders placed on Saturday/Sunday will be deemed to be placed on the following Monday. At present, the Member Store cannot deliver on bank holidays or weekends.

5. Risk and Title to the Goods

Risk in the products will pass to you from the time of delivery.  Ownership of the product will pass to you on the later of delivery, or when full payment of all sums due in respect of the products, including delivery charges, have been received.

6. Cooling off period and your right to cancel your order

• If you are contracting online as a consumer and are an EU resident, the EU Consumer Directive provides that you may cancel a contract at any time within 14 days beginning on the day after you receive the products.

• When you contact the Member Store regarding making a return, the Member Store will arrange with you an appropriate time when its courier company will arrange to pick up the goods from you. Please note that you are responsible for the cost of the courier for the return of the goods. The applicable cost will be similar to the delivery charge that you paid for the goods to be delivered. Alternatively, you may return the goods to the Member Store from whom you bought the goods free of charge. The goods must be returned within 14 days of you notifying the applicable Member Store of your change of mind.
  
  
• Please ensure products are returned in their original condition and packaging, with the relevant store online receipt or online dispatch notice (as applicable).
  
  
• You have a legal obligation to take reasonable care of the products while they are in your possession and you will be responsible for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling of the goods beyond that necessary to establish their nature, characteristics and functioning.
  
  
• Refunds will be processed onto the original card used as payment for the order within 14 days or receipt of returned products. Only standard delivery costs are refunded. Any extra costs you have paid for express delivery or delivery at a particular time will not be refunded.
