OUR RIGHT TO VARY THESE TERMS

We amend these Terms from time to time. Please look at the bottom of this page to see when these Terms were last updated. Every time you order Goods from us (whether on our site or by telephone), the Terms in force at the time of your order will apply to the Contract between you and us. Any amendments we make to these Terms will not affect any order you have already submitted unless we are required to revise these Terms to reflect any changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements.

If we do have to revise these Terms as they apply to your order, we will contact you to give you reasonable advance notice of the changes and let you know how to cancel the Contract if you are not happy with the changes. If you opt to cancel, you will have to return (at your cost) any Goods you have already received and we will arrange a full refund of the price you have paid, including any delivery charges.

YOUR RIGHT TO CANCEL THE CONTRACT

  • If you are a consumer, you have a legal right to cancel a Contract under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 during the period set out below in clause 5.3. This means that during the relevant period if you change your mind or decide for any other reason that you do not want to receive or keep the Goods, you can notify us of your decision to cancel the Contract and receive a refund. Advice about your legal right to cancel the Contract is available from your local Citizens' Advice Bureau or Trading Standards office.
  • However, this cancellation right does not apply in the case of Goods that are liable to deteriorate or expire rapidly or any Goods which become mixed inseparably with other items after their delivery.
  • Your legal right to cancel a Contract starts from the date of the Dispatch Confirmation (the date on which we e-mail you to confirm our acceptance of your order), which is when the Contract between us is formed. Your deadline for cancelling the Contract then depends on what you have ordered and how it is delivered, as set out below:
    • If your Contract is for a single item (which is not delivered in instalments on separate days), the end date is the end of 14 days after the day on which you receive the Goods.
    • If your Contract is for either one item (which is delivered in instalments on separate days) or multiple items (which are delivered on separate days), the end date is 14 days after the day on which you receive the last instalment of the Goods or the last of the separate Goods ordered.
  • No goods may be returned to Beco without Beco’s prior written permission. Beco reserves the right to decline all returns or to accept them subject to a handling/restocking charge. Even after Beco has authorized the return of goods for credit, Beco reserves the right to adjust the amount of any credit given to Purchaser on return of the goods based on the conditions of the goods on arrival in Beco's warehouse. Credit for returned goods will be issued to Purchaser only where such goods are returned by Purchaser and not by any subsequent owner of the goods. Goods will be considered for return only if they are in their original condition and packaging.
  • If you cancel your Contract we will:
    • refund the price you paid for the Goods. However, please note we are permitted by law to reduce your refund to reflect any reduction in the value of the Goods, if this has been caused by your handling them in a way which would not be permitted in a shop (such as by opening any sealed food containers). If we refund the price paid before we are able to inspect the Goods and later discover you have handled them in an unacceptable way, you must pay us an appropriate amount.
    • refund any delivery costs you have paid.
    • make any refunds due to you as soon as possible and in any event within the following deadlines:
      • within the following deadlines: (i) if you have received the Goods: 14 days after the day on which we receive the Goods back from you or, if earlier, the day on which you provide us with evidence that you have sent the Goods back to us; or
      • if you have not received the Goods: 14 days after you inform us of your decision to cancel the Contract.
  • If you have returned the Goods to us under this clause 5 because they are faulty or mis-described, we will refund the price of the Goods in full, together with any applicable delivery charges, and any reasonable costs you incur in returning the item to us.
  • We will make any refund to the credit card or debit card or PayPal account used by you to pay.
  • If Goods have been delivered to you before you decide to cancel your Contract:
    • Then, unless we otherwise notify you, you must return it to us without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days after the day on which you let us know that you wish to cancel the Contract. You should send it back to us at Unit 2E Endeavour Way, Durnsford Road Industrial Estate, London, SW19 8UH.
    • unless the Goods are faulty or not as described (in this case, see clause 5.6), you will be responsible for the cost of returning the Goods to us.
  • Because you are a consumer, we are under a legal duty to supply Goods that are in conformity with this Contract. As a consumer, you have legal rights in relation to Goods that are faulty or not as described. These legal rights are not affected by your right of return and refund in this clause 5 or anything else in these Terms. Advice about your legal rights is available from your local Citizens' Advice Bureau or Trading Standards office. 

OUR LIABILITY TO YOU

  • If we fail to comply with these Terms, we are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breach of these Terms or our negligence, but we are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable. Loss or damage is foreseeable if it is an obvious consequence of our breach or if it was contemplated by you and us at the time we entered into the Contract.
  • We only supply the Goods for domestic and private use. You agree not to use the Goods for any commercial, business or resale purposes, and we have no liability to you for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, loss of business opportunity or any other business losses.
  • 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 to 15 of the Sale of Goods Act 1979 (title and quiet possession, description, satisfactory quality, fitness for purpose and samples); and
    • defective Goods under the Consumer Protection Act 1987.

 EVENTS OUTSIDE OUR CONTROL

  • We will not be liable or responsible for any failure to perform, or delay in performance of, any of our obligations under a Contract that is caused by an Event Outside Our Control. An “Event Outside Our Control” means any act or event beyond our reasonable control, including without limitation strikes, lock-outs or other industrial action by third parties, civil commotion, riot, invasion, terrorist attack or threat of terrorist attack, war (whether declared or not) or threat or preparation for war, fire, explosion, storm, flood, earthquake, subsidence, epidemic or other natural disaster, or failure of public or private telecommunications or transport networks.
  • If an Event Outside Our Control takes place that affects the performance of our obligations under a Contract:
    • we will contact you as soon as reasonably possible to notify you; and
    • our obligations under a Contract will be suspended and the time for performance of our obligations will be extended for the duration of the Event Outside Our Control. Where the Event Outside Our Control affects our delivery of Goods to you, we will arrange a new delivery date with you after the Event Outside Our Control is over.
  • You may cancel a Contract affected by an Event Outside Our Control which has continued for more than 30 days. To cancel please contact us. If you opt to cancel, you will have to return (at our cost) any relevant Goods you have already received and we will refund the price you have paid, including any delivery charges. 

OTHER IMPORTANT TERMS

  • We may transfer our rights and obligations under a Contract to another organisation, but this will not affect your rights or our obligations under these Terms. We will always notify you if this happens. You may only transfer your rights or your obligations under these Terms to another person if we agree in writing.
  • This Contract is between you and us. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms.
  • Each of the paragraphs of these Terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful or unenforceable, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.
  • If we fail to insist that you perform any of your obligations under these Terms, or if we do not enforce our rights against you, or if we delay in doing so, that will not mean that we have waived our rights against you and will not mean that you do not have to comply with those obligations. If we do waive a default by you, we will only do so in writing, and that will not mean that we will automatically waive any later default by you.
  • These Terms, any Contract for the purchase of Goods and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with it will be governed by English law. You and we both agree to that the courts of England and Wales will have non-exclusive jurisdiction. However, if you are a resident of Northern Ireland you may also bring proceedings in Northern Ireland, and if you are a resident of Scotland, you may also bring proceedings in Scotland.

Q: How much is shipping?

UK Shipping is free for any order over £30. If your order is under, standard delivery costs £5.95 unless we are running a promotion that says otherwise. If you order something small and we can send it via Royal Mail, shipping drops to £3.50.

Q: How long will my order take to arrive?
We will aim to have your order with you within 1 - 3 working days. If you order before midday, it helps us get your Beco products to you that bit quicker.

Q: Where do you deliver?
We deliver to UK postcodes where VAT applies. If you live on a UK island, it could take up to 5 working days for your Beco goods to arrive.

Q: Which carrier do you use?

We use Inexpress as our main courier and Royal Mail for smaller items. They will do all they can to deliver your order the next working day from dispatch although they cannot 100% guarantee this. If you have any questions you can always give us a call and we’ll be happy to help. 

Policy

Delivery schedules are approximate and are based on prevailing market conditions applicable respectively at the time of Beco’s quotation and Beco's acceptance of Purchaser’s order. Delivery shall also depend on the prompt receipt by Beco of the necessary information to allow maintenance of the UK packing schedules.

Standard delivery will take on average 1-3 working days.

If no one is available at your address to take delivery, we (or our carrier) will leave you a note that we (or our carrier) has attempted to make delivery of the Goods. You should follow the instructions of the note to re-arrange delivery.

Delivery of an Order shall be completed when we (or our carrier) deliver the Goods to the address you gave us and the Goods will be your responsibility from that time. You own the Goods once delivery has been completed or (if later) once we have received payment in full, including all applicable delivery charges.

Except for obligations stated under “Warranty” herein, Beco’s responsibility for goods ceases upon delivery to the carrier. In the event of loss or damage during shipment, Purchaser’s claim shall be against the carrier only. Beco will, however, give Purchaser any reasonable assistance to secure adjustment of Purchaser’s claim against the carrier provided immediate notice of such claim is given by Purchaser to Beco. Claims for shortages must be made in writing within ten (10) days after receipt of goods by Purchaser. If Beco does not receive written notification of such shortages within such ten (10) days, it shall be conclusively presumed that the goods were delivered in their entirety. 

PRICE OF GOODS, DELIVERY CHARGES AND PAYMENT

All quoted prices are based on the current exchange rates, tariffs and costs of manufacture. Unless otherwise stated in the quotation, quoted prices are subject to change by Beco with or without notice until Purchaser’s acceptance. Prices are subject to correction for error. Customary methods of transportation shall be selected by Beco and such transportation will be at Purchaser’s expense.

Special methods of transportation will be used upon Purchaser’s request and at Purchaser’s additional expense provided reasonable notice of Purchaser’s transportation requirements are given by Purchaser to Beco prior to shipment.
Prices for our Goods may change from time to time, but changes will not affect any order you have already placed.

Prices do not include Goods & Services Tax, Provincial or Municipal sales, use, value-added or similar tax. Accordingly, in addition to the price specified herein, the amount of any present or future sales, use, value-added or similar tax applicable to the sale of the goods hereunder to or the use of such goods by Purchaser shall be paid by Purchaser to the entire exoneration of Beco.

The price of the Goods does not include delivery charges. Our delivery charges are as advised to you during the online check-out process or by our customer service team if you submit an order by telephone, before you confirm your order.

Unless otherwise stated, invoices on “open account” shipment are payable within thirty (30) days of invoice date after the first 3 orders. Unless specifically provided, no cash discount shall be available to Purchaser. When cash discount is offered, the discount price is computed from the date of invoice. Beco Pets does not offer cash discount on C.O.D. shipments. Should payment not be made to Beco when due, Beco reserves the right to refuse all future orders until payment is complete.
