General Terms & Conditions

Please read these General Terms and Conditions carefully. We specifically draw your attention to your rights of cancellation in Clause 6 and the limits to our liability in Clause 7.
1. Our Contract
1.1 These General Terms and Conditions govern the use of services (‘the Service’) provided by ONSO Ltd (Registered Company No. 11580022) whose registered office at 6 Station View, Hazel Grove, Stockport SK7 5ER, United Kingdom (‘we’ or ‘us’) to the customer in whose name an account is created (‘you’). (Our VAT number is 306 9445 93).
1.2 On payment of your subscription fee we will provide an e-commerce platform via our website and App for you to communicate orders for products to certain suppliers (‘the Supplier’). NB The legal contract for the sale and purchase of the products is between you and the Supplier(s) and we only provide a platform to facilitate the sale. The terms and conditions of sale for the products will be those specified by the relevant Supplier(s) at the time of sale.
1.3 Your use of the Service and all orders placed by you (whether via our website or our App) are governed by these General Terms and Conditions. You acknowledge and accept that we may change these General Terms and Conditions from time to time and any changes will be posted on this page.

2. Ordering
2.1 On our website or App, you may place an order to purchase a product advertised for sale by Suppliers by following the onscreen prompts after clicking on the item you wish to purchase. You will have an opportunity to check and correct any input errors in your order up until the point at which you place your order by clicking the "Place order" button on the checkout page. At that point you will be entering into a contract with the Supplier and errors may not be capable of correction.
2.2 All orders placed by you and purchases of goods by you are subject to acceptance by the Supplier (as described in clause 1.2). They may choose not to accept your order or purchase for any reason and we will not be liable to you or to anyone else in those circumstances.

3. Price & Payment
3.1 Your subscription period is yearly, two yearly or monthly in length and will automatically renew each calendar yearly, two yearly or monthly until your membership is cancelled by you or terminated by us.
3.2 Payment for your subscription must be made by a debit or credit card saved to your account on our Service (‘the Payment Method’). A valid Payment Method must always be in place and will remain so unless you cancel your subscription. You authorise us to charge your Payment Method for the recurring subscription. If we cannot charge you, your access to the Service may be suspended.
3.3 The price payable for the products you order or purchase is as set out by the Supplier on our website or App at the time you submit your order, plus any charges for delivery as advised to you.
3.4 The price of certain goods may differ from those displayed at any time due to market conditions. Suppliers are not obliged to accept your order or purchase for such goods and may decline it or limit the order quantity.
3.5 Occasionally, errors may occur and goods may be either incorrectly priced or described, in which case the Supplier will not be obliged to supply the goods at the incorrect price or in accordance with the incorrect description or at all and we are not responsible for such errors.

3.5 Suppliers must normally receive payment for the whole of the price of the products you order and purchase, and any applicable charges for delivery, before your order can be processed.
3.6 Payment can be made by most major credit or debit cards or PayPal, by completing the relevant details on the checkout page.
3.7 By using a credit/debit card to pay for your order or purchase, you confirm that the card being used is yours, or that you are authorised to use it. By using PayPal you confirm that the PayPal account being used is yours.

If the issuer of the card or PayPal refuses to authorise payment the Supplier may not accept your order or purchase, will not be obliged to inform you of the reason for the refusal, and will not be liable for the item not being delivered or provided to you. We are not responsible for charges levied by a card issuer or bank, or by PayPal, as a result of the processing of your order or purchase.
3.9 We recommend that you do not communicate your payment card details or PayPal details and password to anyone, including us, by email. Subject to clause 7.5, we will not be responsible for any losses you may incur in transmitting information to us by internet or by email. Any such loss shall be entirely your responsibility.

4.2 Before placing your order, please refer to the delivery options set out by the Supplier to ensure that delivery can be made to your address. A valid signature may be required on collection or delivery. In the unlikely event that you have not received all the goods within the stated delivery time, you must notify the Supplier immediately.
4.3 You must do all that you reasonably can to enable delivery to take place at the given time and place. If you delay delivery, or delivery fails because you have not taken appropriate steps, the Supplier will try to arrange for an alternative delivery date. If delivery fails as a result of circumstances within your reasonable control, the cost of any re-delivery shall be borne by you.

15. Resolving disputes
In the unlikely event that there is a dispute between us which cannot be resolved through discussion, in order to contain costs and find a speedy solution, we both agree that before any court action is taken, the matter must first be referred to mediation in accordance with the CEDR 125 Low Cost Mediation Service (www.cedr.com/solve/lowcostmediation/). Either of us may contact CEDR to request the appointment of a mediator and the rules of that scheme will then apply. Either of us may suggest a time and venue for the mediation to take place, or if we cannot agree, the mediator has the power to fix a time and venue. The mediation fee must be paid at the time of the application to CEDR. We are each responsible for payment of 50% of the fee. However, one of us may pay the whole fee and the respective contribution from the other shall then be due as a debt.

16. Governing Law
Our contract shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with English law and the courts of England shall have exclusive jurisdiction.
