-
If we are unable to accept your order, we will inform you of this in writing, cancel your order and will not charge you for the product. This might be because the product is out of stock, because of unexpected limits on our resources which we could not reasonably plan for, because we have identified an error in the price or description of the product or because we are unable to meet a delivery deadline you have specified. Where your order contains multiple goods and one or more become unavailable for any if the above reasons, we will contact you separately by email to ask how you would like to proceed with your order.

We will assign an order number to your order and tell you what it is when we accept your order. It will help us if you can tell us the order number whenever you contact us about your order.

Our website is solely for the promotion of products within the UK (including Northern Ireland and the Isle of Man). Unfortunately, we do not accept orders from or deliver to addresses outside of this area.

If it is possible we will let you know about any changes to the price of the product, the timing of supply or anything else which would be necessary as a result of your requested change and ask you to confirm whether you wish to go ahead with the change. If we cannot make the change or the consequences of making the change are unacceptable to you, you may want to end the contract (see clause 8 - Your rights to end the contract).
-
Our rights to make changes

-
If our supply of the product(s) is delayed by an event outside our control then we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and we will take steps to minimise the effect of the delay. Provided we do this we will not be liable for delays caused by the event, but if there is a risk of substantial delay you may contact us to end the contract and receive a refund for any products you have paid for but not received.
-
If you have asked to collect the products from one of our Click & Collect remises (orders delivered, at your request, to one of our selected convenient locations, for your collection) premises, you can collect them from the store of your choice upon confirmation of delivery at any time during the working hours as stated on your nearest store details page here.

If you do not collect the products from us as arranged or if, after a failed delivery to you, you do not re-arrange delivery or collect them from a delivery depot we will contact you for further instructions and may charge you for storage costs and any further delivery costs. If, despite our reasonable efforts, we are unable to contact you or re-arrange delivery or collection we may end the contract and clause 10.2 will apply.
-
You have legal rights if we deliver any goods late. If we miss the delivery deadline for any goods then you may treat the contract as at an end straight away if any of the following apply:
-
we have refused to deliver the goods;
-
delivery within the delivery deadline was essential (taking into account all the relevant circumstances); or
-
you told us, before we accepted your order, and we agreed with you in writing, that delivery within the delivery deadline was essential.
-
If you do not wish to treat the contract as at an end straight away, or do not have the right to do so under clause 7.7, you can give us a new deadline for delivery, which must be reasonable, and you can treat the contract as at an end if we do not meet the new deadline.
-
If you do choose to treat the contract as at an end for late delivery under clause 7.7, you can cancel your order for any of the goods or reject goods that have been delivered. If you wish, you can reject or cancel the order for some of those goods (not all of them), unless splitting them up would significantly reduce their value. After that we will refund any sums you have paid to us for the cancelled goods and their delivery. If the goods have been delivered to you, you must either return them in person to where you bought them, post them back to us or (if they are not suitable for posting) allow us to collect them from you. We will pay the costs of postage or collection. Please contact us.
-
A product which is goods will be your responsibility from the time we deliver the product to the address you gave us or you or a courier organised by you collect it from us.
-
You own a product which is goods once we have received payment in full.
-
We may need certain information from you so that we can supply the products to you. If so, this will have been stated in the description of the products on our website. We will contact you in writing to ask for this information. If you do not give us this information within a reasonable time of us asking for it, or if you give us incomplete or incorrect information, we may either end the contract (and clause 10.2 will apply) or make an additional charge of a reasonable sum to compensate us for any extra work that is required as a result. We will not be responsible for supplying the products late or not supplying any part of them if this is caused by you not giving us the information we need within a reasonable time of us asking for it.
-
Your rights to end the contract
-
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:
-
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;
-
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;
-
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;
-
In all other cases (if we are not at fault and there is no right to change your mind), see clause 8.7.
-
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 8.2.1 to 8.2.5 below the contract will end immediately and we will refund you in full for any products which have not been provided. The reasons are:
-
we have told you about an upcoming change to the product or these terms which you do not agree to
-
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;
-
there is a risk that supply of the products may be significantly delayed because of events outside our control; or,
-
you have a legal right to end the contract because of something we have done wrong (including because we have delivered late (see clause 7.7).
-
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.
-
Your rights under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 are that you have a 14 day period to change you mind and that you must pay costs incurred in returning the goods to us. Your right to a refund terminates when your warranty activates.
-
You do not have a right to change your mind in respect of:
-
products sealed for health protection or hygiene purposes (e.g. earphones), once these have been unsealed after you receive them;
-
sealed audio or sealed video recordings or sealed computer software, once these products are unsealed after you receive them; and
-
any products which become mixed inseparably with other items after their delivery.
-
If you have bought goods (for example, Mac, iPhone, iPod or iPad) you have 14 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) receive the last delivery to change your mind about the goods.
-
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.
-
How to end the contract with us (including if you have changed your mind)
-
To end the contract with us, please let us know by contacting us.
-
If you end the contract for any reason after products have been dispatched to you or you have received them, you must return them to us. You must either return the goods in person to where you bought them or post them back to us. If you wish to return the item by post, please email us at Lapfront@gmail.com with your order reference and reason for return. We will then provide you with a Return Merchandise Authorisation (RMA) number and confirm the details of where the product(s) should be sent. Please not that all returns must be sent via a tracked delivery service, with the RMA reference. If you are exercising your right to change your mind you must send off the goods within 14 days of telling us you wish to end the contract.
-
We will pay the costs of return:
-
if the products are faulty or misdescribed; or,
-
In all other circumstances (including where you are exercising your right to change your mind) you must pay the costs of return.
-
We will refund you the price you paid for the products including delivery costs, by the method you used for payment. However, we may make deductions from the price, as described below.
-
If you are exercising your right to change your mind:
-
We may reduce your refund of the price (excluding delivery costs) to reflect any reduction in the value of the goods, if this has been caused by your handling them in a way which would not be permitted in a shop (e.g. including but not limited to, the device having been switched on and registered). If we refund you the price paid before we are able to inspect the goods and later discover you have handled them in an unacceptable way, you must pay us an appropriate amount.
-
The maximum refund for delivery costs will be the costs of delivery by the least expensive delivery method we offer. For example, if we offer delivery of a product within 3-5 days at one cost but you choose to have the product delivered within 24 hours at a higher cost, then we will only refund what you would have paid for the cheaper delivery option.
-
We will make any refunds due to you as soon as possible. If you are exercising your right to change your mind then:
-
If the products are goods and we have not offered to collect them, your refund will be made within 14 days from the day on which we receive the product back from you or, if earlier, the day on which you provide us with evidence that you have sent the product back to us. For information about how to return a product to us, see clause 9.2.
-
In all other cases, your refund will be made within 14 days of your telling us you have changed your mind
-
Please note that if product you are returning was purchased with a mobile/wireless service, this service is the responsibility of your service provider and will not be automatically cancelled when the product is returned to us.
-
Our rights to end the contract
-
We may end the contract for a product at any time by writing to you if:
-
you do not, within a reasonable time of us asking for it, provide us with information that is necessary for us to provide the products;
-
you do not, within a reasonable time, allow us to deliver the products to you or collect them from us; or,
-
the product is no longer available.
-
If we end the contract in the situations set out in clause 10.1 we will refund any money you have paid in advance for products we have not provided but we may deduct or charge you reasonable compensation for the net costs we will incur as a result of your breaking the contract.
-
We may write to you to let you know that we are going to stop providing the product. We will let you know in advance of our stopping the supply of the product.

This is a summary of your key legal rights. These are subject to certain exceptions. For detailed information please visit the Citizens Advice website www.adviceguide.org.uk or call 03454 04 05 06.

If your product is goods, for example a laptop, the Consumer Rights Act 2015 says goods must be as described, fit for purpose and of satisfactory quality. During the expected lifespan of your product your legal rights entitle you to the following:

up to 30 days: if your goods are faulty, then you can get an immediate refund.If you wish to exercise your legal rights to reject products you must either return them by post them back to us.

The price of the product (which includes VAT and/or IPT) will be the price indicated on the order pages when you placed your order. 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.
-
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.
-
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.

Our responsibility for loss or damage suffered by you
-
We are responsible to you for foreseeable loss and damage caused by us. If we fail to comply with these terms, we are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breaking this contract or our failing to use reasonable care and skill, but we are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable. Loss or damage is foreseeable if either it is obvious that it will happen or if, at the time the contract was made, both we and you knew it might happen, for example, if you discussed it with us during the sales process.
-
We do not exclude or limit in any way our liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so. This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors; for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; for breach of your legal rights in relation to the products as summarised at clause 11.2 and for defective products under the Consumer Protection Act 1987.

Other important terms

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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.

Interactive services
We may from time to time provide interactive services on our site.
Where we do provide any interactive service, we will provide clear information to you about the kind of service offered, if it is moderated and what form of moderation is used (including whether it is human or technical).
We will do our best to assess any possible risks for users (and in particular for children) from third parties when they use any interactive service provided on our site and we will decide in each case whether it is appropriate to use moderation of the relevant service (including what kind of moderation to use) in light of those risks. However, we are under no obligation to oversee, monitor or moderate any interactive service we provide on our site, and we expressly exclude our liability for any loss or damage arising from the use of any interactive service by a user in contravention of our content standards, whether the service is moderated or not.
The use of any of our interactive services by a minor is subject to the consent of their parent or guardian. We advise parents who permit their children to use an interactive service that it is important that they communicate with their children about their safety online, as moderation is not fool proof. Minors who are using any interactive service should be made aware of the potential risks to them.
Where we do moderate an interactive service, we will normally provide you with a means of contacting the moderator, should a concern or difficulty arise.
