Conditions of Use

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

 

Please take a moment to read these terms and conditions – they affect how your order will be handled. We have tried to present them to you in a way that is easy to understand and in plain English.

There are a few things you should remember before ordering:

We do the best we can to show and describe the items as accurately as possible. However good we are at this, nothing beats going to your local dive store and buying from them. You will get to see the item, try the item and ask the store for advice.

Much of the equipment we sell can be dangerous if used incorrectly. Whether you are buying for someone else, a snorkeler or a diver, the person using the equipment must be properly trained.

If you are unhappy with any aspect of the service you have received, please contact us using the information shown in the Contact us link on the website. Your satisfaction with our service is the most important aspect of what we do – please do tell us if things go wrong so we can try to put them right.

 

General Terms

These terms and conditions tell you how we, DIVE Northampton, sell things to you using our websites. These terms and conditions cover all goods purchased from us. Your online order and payment details also contain information that affects your order. The terms and conditions that applied at the time and the additional information you provided when placing your order will decide how your order is handled. You will be asked to confirm that you accept these terms and conditions before completing your purchase.

 

Your Order

We can only sell you something if we have it. Whilst we do all we can to keep our websites up to date, popular items will sometimes become unavailable. All items are therefore subject to availability. If you have ordered an item that is unavailable, we will contact you and tell you how long it will be before we can send you your item. We may also offer you an alternative. If we do this and you decide to accept an alternative item, you do so entirely at your own risk.

When you place an order, we are not forced to accept it. There are many reasons why we may decide not to accept an order and you will be told, usually by email, when your order has been accepted.

You must be aged 18 or over to buy things from the websites. We may ask you to send us proof of your age before we can accept your order.

Whilst we do all we can to make sure that the information on our site is correct, things sometimes go wrong: prices may be out of date, images and photographs are not always accurate and size or colour information may be wrong. When we discover an error or are told about a problem we will put it right without any liability.

 

How we get your item to you and how to return an item

The item must be returned complete, undamaged, in all the original packaging and in a resaleable condition if appropriate. You must indicate whether you want a refund or replacement. A refund will only be made once the item has been received here at DIVE Northampton so you must ensure that an appropriate method of return is chosen and we strongly recommend that the item is fully insured when being returned. We will not be able to issue an refund or replacement for any item lost or damaged when being returned to us. For complex issues, we may have to ask the Manufacturer to look into the issue and this may take a few working days to complete.
