These Terms and Conditions

These Terms and Conditions apply to all transactions on this site. Please read them carefully. They do not affect your consumer rights.

We may change these Terms and Conditions at any time. Any changes will take effect on the date they are posted on to the site (see date above). You will be asked to read and accept the Terms and Conditions each time you place an order to ensure that you are familiar with the most current ones. We will let you know if any terms Conditions and have changed before you click submit.

The terms and conditions apply at the time the order is made and apply until the contract has finished.

Our Contract

After you submit an order we will give you an Order Reference Number and details of the products you have ordered. We will send the same details to you in an email acknowledging receipt of your order (Order Acknowledgement). We will then send a further email when we start to process your order (Order Processing). Please note that these emails are both acknowledgements, not acceptance of your order.

Subject to the paragraph headed “IMPORTANT” underneath the “Prices and Payment” section below, acceptance of your order and the creation of a legally binding contract between us will only occur when we send you an email confirming your order (Order Confirmation). This will contain details of how your products will be delivered to you. Alternatively, we may decline all or part of your order for any reason, in which case our Order Confirmation email will tell you so.

Making A Purchase

You will have an opportunity to check and correct any input errors in your order up until you click the Submit Order button.

Making a purchase could not be easier. Just browse our store, and add any items that you wish to buy into the shopping cart. After you have finished your selection, click on 'Checkout' and you will be asked for a few details that we need to be able to complete the order.

We accept Visa, Mastercard, UK Maestro, Electron, Solo, Switch, Delta & Amex. Your card details are taken and processed by streamline system which is currently one of the safest methods of payment with security measures such as Verified by Visa & Mastercard Mastercode

When confirmation of order is received, this is to indicate that we have received your order. It does not indicate that a contract exists between us. We will indicate acceptance of your order, and hence a contract between us, when we send you an invoice. We have included this term to protect us in the case that a mistake has been made in pricing, we have inadvertently under-priced goods, or we are no longer able to supply a particular product for some reason. In the case of a change of price, we will always contact you first to ensure that the price is acceptable.

We will tell you if your payment details cannot be authorised for any reason and may invite you to pay by another method.

Prices and Payment

All prices and charges on this site are in UK pounds. They include any VAT payable, but exclude delivery charges. For details see ‘Delivery and Installation’ below.

The total cost of your order will be the price of the products you order, the applicable delivery charge, plus any additional services you choose e.g. installation. All these will be set out clearly in your Shopping Basket before you submit your order.

Prices, offers and products are subject to availability and may change before, but not after, we accept your order. If something becomes unavailable we may offer you an alternative.

IMPORTANT: We try very hard to ensure that all information on this site is accurate. However, just occasionally, an error can occur. If we discover an error in the price or description of a product you have ordered, we may cancel your order at any time up to the point we send you the product(s) (even if you have received your order acknowledgement confirmation email). We will contact you where we become aware of an error and ask whether you wish to continue with your order at the correct price or cancel it. If we do cancel your order, you will receive a full refund of any charges paid in advance.

Adult viewing cards

No dealer can guarantee a service but if you are using the correct equipment then this card is sold in good faith that it will do as we describe here - the service provider can and might change there offer from time to time and this could mean more or less channels retuning your equipment or moving your satellite dish - for the most recent service information it's usually possible to ask us or check the service providers own website.

If a pre paid smart card is faulty, we will happily exchange it for the same title or refund your money. We have no control if the channel broadcasters change their subscription packages or rights to view certain channels. This includes moving channels to a different satellite position. Please note this must be taken up with the channel providers.

The following are guidelines for all goods ordered for delivery.

Wherever possible we will respond to your individual circumstances.

If there is a fault with your product within the applicable product guarantee period (normally 12 months from delivery) or other defect with your order, we will normally offer a prompt repair service. You will always have the option of an exchange or refund if the fault occurs within 7 days of delivery. In all cases we reserve the right to inspect the product and verify the fault.

This promise does not cover faults caused by accident, neglect, misuse or normal wear and tear by the customer.
