Content:

The content of the Site.


2. Conditions

2.1 These Conditions shall form the basis of the contract between SatCure and the Customer in relation to the sale of Goods, to the exclusion of all other terms and conditions including the Customer's standard conditions of purchase or any other conditions which the Customer may purport to apply under any purchase order or confirmation of order or any other document.

2.2 All orders for Goods shall be deemed to be an offer by the Customer to purchase Goods from SatCure pursuant to these Conditions.

2.3 Acceptance of delivery of the Goods shall be deemed to be conclusive evidence of the Customer's acceptance of these Conditions.

2.4 These Conditions may not be varied except by the written agreement of a director of SatCure.

2.5 These Conditions represent the whole of the agreement between SatCure and the Customer. They supersede any other conditions previously issued.


3. Price

3.1 The Price shall be the price quoted on SatCure's confirmation of order. In the unlikely event that items are incorrectly priced on the web site, SatCure shall not be compelled to supply the goods at the incorrect price. Similarly, the Customer will not be compelled to accept the goods at the correct price. Where such pricing discrepancies occur, the Customer will be advised and given the opportunity to re-select an alternative product, cancel the order or continue with the order at the correct price.

3.2 VAT will be charged at the rate in force on the date of SatCure's invoice.


4. Availability

4.1 All products are subject to availability. If items are out of stock with either SatCure or SatCure's suppliers, SatCure will endeavour to dispatch these items within 14 days. In the event that the item will not be available for despatch within that time period and in any case if the goods cannot be delivered within 30 days, SatCure will contact the Customer and the Customer will be given the option to cancel the order and receive a full refund of any monies paid. SatCure shall not be liable for any losses, damages or costs incurred by the Customer owing to delay or non-delivery of the goods.


5. Payment and Interest

5.1 Payment of the Price, VAT, delivery charges and any other associated charges must be received before any orders can be processed. Cheques must clear before goods are despatched.

5.2 The only exceptions to paragraph 5.1., above, are where other terms have been agreed in writing, prior to the order being placed.

5.3 Credit Card payment will not usually be taken until the order (or part of it) is ready to ship, or until we reasonably believe that the order is ready to ship. This means that credit card details will be held securely until payment is taken. The details will not normally be deleted from our secure system unless the Customer specifically requests this action in writing. (See our Privacy Policy.)


6. Goods

6.1 Images and descriptions of goods are reliant upon information provided by suppliers or manufacturers. They are as accurate as possible, however specifications may change for reasons beyond SatCure's control.

6.2 The quantity and description of the Goods shall be as set out in SatCure's confirmation of order.

6.3 Goods which are functionally equivalent may be supplied instead.


7. Warranties

SatCure warrants that the Goods will at the time of delivery correspond to the description given by SatCure in the confirmation of order. [Except where the Customer is dealing as a consumer (as defined in section 12 of the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977), all other warranties, conditions or terms relating to fitness for purpose, quality or condition of the Goods are excluded].


8. Delivery of the Goods

8.1 We will endeavour to deliver your item within two to three working days (to a UK address). Delivery of the Goods shall be made to the Customer's stated delivery address. Despatch will normally take place within 24 hours of receipt of order and payment Mon. to Fri. The Customer shall make all arrangements necessary to take delivery of the Goods during the period notified by SatCure for delivery.

8.2 SatCure undertakes to use its reasonable endeavours to despatch the Goods within 24 hours Mon. to Fri. but does not guarantee to do so. Time of delivery shall not be of the essence of the contract.

8.3 Occasionally, technical problems or payment problems may delay or prevent delivery of an ordered product. For this reason you are advised to specify a permanent delivery address and not a temporary address or one which you may be leaving in the near future.

8.4 SatCure shall not be liable to the Customer for any loss or damage whether arising directly or indirectly from the late delivery or short delivery of the Goods. If short delivery does take place, the Customer undertakes not to reject the Goods but to accept the Goods delivered as part performance of the contract.

8.5 If the Customer fails to take delivery of the Goods during the specified delivery term, SatCure shall be entitled to charge the Customer the reasonable costs of returning the goods or attempting to re-deliver.


9. Title and Risk

9.1 Risk shall pass on delivery of the Goods to the Customer's address.

9.2 Notwithstanding the earlier passing of risk, title in the Goods shall remain with SatCure and shall not pass to the Customer until the amount due under the invoice for them (including interest and costs) has been paid in full.

9.3 Until title passes the Customer shall hold the Goods as bailee for SatCure and shall store or mark them so that they can at all times be identified as the property of SatCure.

9.4 SatCure may at any time before title passes and without any liability to the Customer:

9.4.1 repossess and dismantle and use or sell all or any of the Goods and by doing so terminate the Customer's right to use, sell or otherwise deal in them; and

9.4.2 for that purpose (or determining what if any Goods are held by the Customer and inspecting them) enter any premises of or occupied by the Customer.

9.5 SatCure may maintain an action for the price of any Goods notwithstanding that title in them has not passed to the Customer.


10. Carriage of Goods

10.1 Carriage will be chargeable on all sales (except downloadable digital products). This will be charged as shown on the checkout screen unless we advise you otherwise and give you an opportunity to accept the altered charge or to cancel.

10.2 Products ordered from our Site for delivery outside the UK may be subject to import duties and taxes which are levied when the delivery reaches the specified destination. You will be responsible for payment of any such import duties and taxes. We have no control over these charges and cannot predict their amount. Please contact your local customs office for further information before placing your order.

10.3 You must make sure that you comply with all applicable laws and regulations of the country for which the products are destined. We will not be liable for any breach by you of any such laws.


11. Cancellation, Returns and Refunds

11.1 Requests for cancellation or refund must be made in writing, including email or fax. If the request is made prior to the goods being despatched, the Customer will not be liable for any shipping costs.

11.2 Where goods have been delivered to the Customer, the Customer will have seven days from the date of delivery to cancel the order in writing, stating the reason for cancellation, the Customer's details and the Customer's order number. On receipt of the Customer's cancellation, the Customer will be advised of a Returns Authorisation Number and this must be clearly attached to the packaging. The Customer will be liable for the cost of returning the goods to SatCure. Any goods returned this way must have been subject to reasonable care whilst in the Customer's possession. This means that the original packaging must be used and that all accessories, leads, instruction books etc. are present and carefully repackaged with the goods. Under no circumstances will we arrange to collect the goods free of charge or refund any shipping charges.

Explanatory note: Under the terms of The Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations 2000 in the UK, we are required by law to give you seven days "cooling off" period after delivery of order. This is to protect you against "impulse buying". Please note that once you have unpacked or used the goods, you are deemed to have accepted them and you forfeit your specific rights under these regulations. (Your normal statutory rights are not affected).

We will refund the price of the item on the invoice plus VAT and minus a 10% or £10 (whichever is higher) testing and restocking charge for certain items if they have been unpacked. These are items that can not be checked by visual inspection alone.

11.3 If you keep the goods for longer than 10 days after the 7 day notification period, or if the goods are not returned in "as new" unused condition, then a usage charge up to the full invoice amount is payable unless we agree otherwise.

11.4 The Customer's original payment will be refunded within 30 days of the date of cancellation, or receipt by us if later (less any collection costs that may have been incurred by SatCure).

11.5 Refunds for exchange power supply units etc. will not be given until the exchange unit has been received and tested. Such refunds will normally be made within 30 days of receipt of the unit if the test indicates that the unit can be repaired without extra parts or labour.

11.6 For goods that are returned because they are faulty, please see the relevant section below.


12. Faulty Goods

12.1 Goods that exhibit a fault immediately upon first use out of the box must be advised to SatCure via the relevant email form or by postal letter within five days of delivery to the Customer. The Customer must not attempt repair of goods without written permission from SatCure.

12.2 A returns process will then be initiated and SatCure will require the Customer to provide SatCure with some details regarding the fault exhibited along with the Customer's details and the order reference. This information may help SatCure to identify if an actual fault exists or whether an error has been made in set up or installation. If it is not possible to rectify the apparent fault at this stage, the Customer will be issued with a Returns Authorisation Number.

12.3 The Returns Authorisation Number must be clearly attached to the packaging. Where possible, the original packaging must be used and all accessories, leads, instruction books etc should be present and carefully repackaged with the goods. The Customer will be advised of the arrangements to be made for return of the goods for inspection.

12.4 Goods will not be accepted without a valid Returns Authorisation Number except where SatCure has authorised the use of the "Keep-me" number instead.

12.5 On receipt at SatCure's premises and if a fault is confirmed by SatCure's engineers, the Customer will be offered either a replacement item or a full refund of all the Customer's costs including any shipping costs.

i) Return of the item to the Customer and, at SatCure's discretion, the Customer will be charged for the new delivery and any collection charges.

ii) A refund of the item less any delivery or collection charges and a restocking charge of up to 10% of the value of the goods, at SatCure's discretion, dependent upon the condition of packaging and completeness of the goods.

12.6 See section 15.1 "Liability" for details of warranty.

12.7 In all circumstances, SatCure would advise that the Customer retain all packaging and accessories to facilitate returns and to minimise any liability that the Customer may have for damaged goods or missing accessories.

12.8 We will usually make any refund using the same method originally used by you to pay for your purchase. We will usually process any refund due to you as soon as possible and, in any event, within 30 days of the day we confirm to you via email that you are entitled to a refund. Products returned by you because of a defect will be refunded in full, including a refund of the delivery charges for sending the item to you and the reasonable cost incurred by you in returning the item to us.


13. Damaged or Incorrect Goods

13.1 The Customer shall be deemed to have accepted the Goods 7 days after delivery to the Customer.

13.2 The Customer shall carry out a thorough inspection of the Goods within 48 hours of delivery and shall give written notification to SatCure within 5 working days of delivery of the Goods of any defects which a reasonable examination would have revealed.

13.3 Where the Customer has accepted, or has been deemed to have accepted, the Goods the Customer shall not be entitled to reject Goods which are not in accordance with the contract.

13.4 Alternatives

We reserve the right to supply alternatives, which are functionally identical to the items ordered, but may be aesthetically or dimensionally different from the pictures and descriptions in our web pages or catalogue. In such an instance, if the alternative is unacceptable to you, you may return it, unused, for refund at your expense. Colour and minor variations in shape are not acceptable reasons for demanding a refund. Where aesthetic features or dimensions are critical you must inform us at the time of ordering.


14. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify us and our affiliates and our respective directors, officers, employees and agents, as well as their licensors and suppliers (the Indemnified Parties), from and against any and all claims, actions, suits or proceedings, as well as any and all losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of:
