Seahopper Ltd – Terms and Conditions

1. General

 

1.1 Seahopper Ltd (also referred to as “we” or “us”) deals with both consumers and business purchasers. Some of these terms and conditions apply only to customers who are consumers and some apply only to customers who are business purchasers. Where this distinction is made it will always be made clearly. If you are a consumer then nothing in these terms and conditions adversely affects or limits your statutory rights.

1.2 We only contract with customers on the basis of these terms and conditions and specifically reject any alternative terms and conditions put forward by prospective purchasers (not simply to the extent such alternative terms and conditions conflict).

2. The contract between us

2.1 No contract is formed until we receive irrevocable payment of the price for the goods as follows: 50% deposit of the price for the goods when your order is for a Seahopper boat; payment of the whole of the price for the goods when your order is for Seahopper parts/optional extras.

2.2 A legally binding contract is made between us:

2.2.1 if payment is made by credit or debit card, only when a card payment or payments for the price of the goods  as detailed in 2.1 above and for the benefit of us has been irrevocably processed.

Accordingly pricing on the website is subject to change (without prior notice) and/or our suppliers may change their pricing information before we are contractually obliged to supply you at any particular price. If that happens we will contact you to discuss the price revision and give you the chance to reconsider your offer to purchase.
