Please read and check your Order before placing. You may only purchase Products from us if you meet any legal age requirement necessary for the acquisition of the Products.
2.2 Your Order will only be deemed accepted by us when you have paid for the Products, monies received by us and the Products have been dispatched. Any email, order confirmation or other electronic acknowledgement by us of receipt of an Order does not constitute legal acceptance by us of your Order. We will confirm our acceptance to you by sending you an email confirming that the Products have been dispatched. The Contract between us is formed when we send you an email confirming that the Products have been dispatched.
2.3 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.
3.1 The images of the products on our Website are for illustrative purposes only. Although we have made every effort to display the colours accurately, we cannot guarantee that a device’s display of the colours accurately reflects the colour of the products. Your Product may vary slightly from those images.
3.2 The packaging of the product may vary from that shown on images on our Website.
3.3 We reserve the right to amend the product description if required.
3.4 All weights and sizes are supplied as a guide only and are approximate.
3.5 In the event that there are any errors regarding price or description, we reserve the right to correct that price or description and notify you accordingly. In these circumstances, it will be deemed that a contract has not been entered into and you will not be bound to continue with your purchase. We will cancel your Order and your credit/debit card or PayPal account will be refunded in full. The repayment of such monies paid to us will be the extent of our liability to you in the event of these errors.
3.6 Products which are on special offer or promotion are only available in limited qualities, sizes and colours. When stock of a product on special offer or promotion runs out, we will no longer be able to supply that item at the special offer or promotion price.
4.1 The price of the Product is the price set out on the Website at the time you submit your Order.
4.2 The price of the Product is exclusive of VAT (where applicable) at the current rate chargeable in the UK. 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.
4.3 Our Website accepts payment by most major credit cards and debit cards via Opayo.
4.4 Please ensure that the expiry date of your credit or debit card is after the anticipated dispatch date of your Order. Payment will be debited from your account just before the dispatch of your Products, and if your payment card has expired, we will be unable to take the payment and fulfil your Order.

4.6 To prevent fraudulent use of credit and debit cards, we instruct a third party to validate the names, addresses and other information supplied during the order process against commercially available records. By ordering from the Website you consent to such checks being made. We may need to contact you by letter, telephone or email to verify details before we are able to process and dispatch your Order or we may be unable to accept your Order. Any information given may be disclosed to a registered Credit Reference Agency which may keep a record of the information. All information provided will be treated in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998.
4.7 We are currently not accepting orders from outside of the UK.
Payment and VAT
Payment for products and delivery services will be made in GBP. All prices shown on the website for both products and delivery services are inclusive of any applicable VAT. The total price you pay us for products is fixed, regardless of whether or not VAT at the prevailing rate (rates vary from country to country) is chargeable on the sale.
VAT refers value added tax, goods and services tax or equivalent.
5.1 The delivery options available for each product and their charge are provided on the product detail page. When you add products to your shopping basket and have chosen the delivery option the appropriate charge will be added automatically. All delivery charges will be shown clearly throughout the checkout process.
5.2 If our supply of the Products 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. We will not be liable for any 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.
5.3 If no one is available at your address to take delivery and the Products cannot be posted through the letterbox, we will either attempt to deliver to a neighbour or we will leave you a note informing you of how to rearrange delivery or collect the Products from your local Post Office or delivery depot.
5.4 If you do not collect the Products from one of our stores as arranged or if, after a failed delivery to you, you do not re-arrange delivery or collect them from a local Post Office or your 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.
5.5 You have legal rights if we deliver any Products late. If we miss the delivery deadline for any Products then you may treat the Contract as at an end straight away if any of the following apply:
• we have refused to deliver the Products;
• delivery within the delivery deadline was essential (taking into account all the relevant circumstances); or
• you told us before we accepted your Order that delivery within the delivery deadline was essential.
5.6 If you do not wish to treat the Contract as at an end straight away, or you do not have the right to do so under clause 5.5, 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.
5.7 If you do choose to treat the Contract as at an end for late delivery under clause 5.5 or clause 5.6, you can cancel your order for any of the Products or reject Products that have been delivered. If you wish, you can reject or cancel the Order for some of those Products (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 Products and their delivery. If the Products have been delivered to you, you must either return them in person to one of our stores (except Hathersage), 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 see our Returns Procedure by clicking here.
5.8 The Product will be your responsibility from the time we deliver the Product to the address you gave us or you collect it from us.
5.9 You own the Product once we have received payment in full.
5.10 Products delivered to some destinations, mainly outside the European Union, may be subject to taxes, fees, levies or other charges, which are imposed by local legislation. The recipient of the Products is responsible for all custom formalities for their import, and will be required to pay any additional charges, including import duty, formal customs entry, taxes, levies and other charges. The recipient of the Products, not the person who made the Order, will receive a separate request payment for these charges from our delivery agent.
6.1 You have a legal right to cancel a Contract under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 within 14 days of receipt of the Products. However we have extended that right to 28 days from receipt of the Products as described at clause 6.3. This means that during the relevant period if you change your mind or decide for whatever reason that you do not want to receive or keep the Products, you can notify us of your decision to cancel the Contract and receive a refund. Alternatively, you are entitled to request an exchange within the same period of time and the provisions below also apply to exchanges.
6.2 However, you do not have a right to cancellation in respect of the following Products which can only be returned if they are faulty or not as described:
• personalised and made-to-order products;
• perishable products such as food; and
• products, such as gas cylinders and cartridges, safety headwear, swimwear and underwear, sealed for health or hygiene purposes, once these have been unsealed after you receive them.
6.3 Your legal right to cancel a Contract starts from the date that we send you an email confirming that the Products have been dispatched which is when the Contract between us is formed and ends 14 days after the day you receive the Products.
6.4 To cancel a Contract with us, you need to let us know that you have decided to cancel. Please let us know by doing one of the following:
• Phone or email: call Customer Services on 01942 875325 or email us at enquiries@shorrocktrichem.com.
• Online: complete the online form on our Website.
7. Our Responsibility For Loss Or Damage Suffered By You
7.1 We only supply the Products for domestic and private use. If you use the Products for any commercial, business or re-sale purpose we will have no liability to you for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, loss of business opportunity.
7.2 We do not in any way exclude or limit our liability for:
• death or personal injury caused by our negligence;
• fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation;
• any breach of the terms implied by section 12 of the Sale of Goods Act 1979 (title, quiet possession and free from encumbrances);
• any breach of the terms implied by section 13 to 15 of the Sale of Goods Act 1979 (description, satisfactory quality, fitness for purpose and samples); and
• damage cause by defective products under the Consumer Protection Act 1987.
8. How We May Use Your Personal Information
8.1 We will use the personal information you provide to us:
• to supply the Products to you;
• to process your payment for the Products;
• if you agreed to this during the Order process, to inform you about similar products that we provide, but you may stop receiving these at any time by contacting us.
8.2 Where we extend credit to you for the Products we may pass your personal information to credit reference agencies and they may keep a record of any search that they do.
8.3 We will only give your personal information to other third parties where the law either requires or allows us to do so.
9.1 We amend these Terms from time to time. Each time you order Products from us, the Terms in force at the time of your Order apply to the Contract between you and us.
9.2 We may transfer our rights and obligations under these terms to another organisation, but this will not affect your rights or our obligations under these Terms.
9.3 You may only transfer your rights or your obligations under these Terms to another person if we agree to this in writing.
9.4 This contract is between you and us. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms.
9.5 Each of the clauses of these Terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decide any of them are unlawful, the remaining clauses will remain in full force and effect.
9.6 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.
9.7 These Terms are governed by English law and you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the Products in the English courts.
