Your Products may vary slightly from those images.

If you have already paid for the Products, we will refund you the full amount including any delivery costs charged as soon as possible.

7 Our right to vary these Terms

7.1 We amend these Terms from time to time. Please look at the top of this page to see when these Terms were last updated and which Terms were changed (if applicable).

7.2 Every time you order Products from us, the Terms in force at the time of your order will apply to the Contract between you and us.

7.3 We may revise these Terms as they apply to your order from time to time:

1. to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements; and/or
2. in the event that there is a material change to our relationship with our suppliers.

7.4 If we 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. You may cancel either in respect of all the affected Products or just the Products you have yet to receive. If you opt to cancel, you will have to return (at our cost) any relevant Products you have already received and we will arrange a full refund of the price you have paid, including any delivery charges.

8. Your consumer right of return and refund

8.1 Exercising your right to change your mind (Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013). If you are a consumer, you have a legal right to cancel a Contract within 14 days and claim a refund. These rights, under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, are explained in more detail in these terms. Advice about your legal right to cancel the Contract is available from your local Citizens' Advice Bureau or Trading Standards office.

8. 2 Our Delivery and Returns Policy. Please note, these terms reflect the Delivery and Returns Policy on our website, which is more generous than your legal rights under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 in the ways set out below. This delivery and returns policy does not affect your legal rights in relation to faulty or mis-described Products.

8. 3 When you don’t have the right to change your mind. The cancellation right referred to above does not apply in the case of:

1. Products which have been personalised for you, such as stationery or gifts
2. Perishable goods such as food
3. Sealed audio or sealed video recordings, once these products are unsealed after you receive them.
4. Earrings.

8.4 Your 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 in the table below:

8.5 To cancel a Contract, you just need to let us know that you have decided to cancel.

8.6 You can also e-mail us office@rgjmuseum.co.uk . If you are e-mailing us or writing to us please include details of your order to help us to identify it. If you send us your cancellation notice by e-mail or by post, then your cancellation is effective from the date you send us the e-mail or post the letter to us. For example, you will have given us notice in time as long as you get your letter into the last post on the last day of the cancellation period or e-mail us before midnight on that day.

8.7 If you cancel your Contract we will:

1. refund you the price you paid for the Products. 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. If we refund you 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.
2. refund any delivery costs you have paid, although, as permitted by law, the maximum refund will be the costs of delivery by the least expensive delivery method we offer (provided that this is a common and generally acceptable method).
3. make any refunds due to you as soon as possible and in any event within the deadlines indicated below:

1. if you have received the Product and we have not offered to collect it from you: 14 days after the day on which we receive the Product back from you or, if earlier, the day on which you provide us with evidence that you have sent the Product back to us. For information about how to return a Product to us, see clause 9.10;
2. if you have not received the Product or you have received it and we have offered to collect it from you: 14 days after you inform us of your decision to cancel the Contract.

8.8 If you have returned the Products to us under this clause 8 because they are faulty or mis-described, we will refund the price of the Products in full, together with any applicable delivery charges, and any reasonable costs you incur in returning the item to us.

8.9 We will refund you on the credit card or debit card used by you to pay.

8.10 If a Product has been delivered to you before you decide to cancel your Contract:

1. then 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 can send it back to The Royal Green Jackets (Rifles) Museum, Peninsula Barracks, Romsey Road, Winchester SO23 8TS unless the Product is faulty or not as described (in this case, see clause 8.8), you will be responsible for the cost of returning the Products to us. If the Product is one which cannot be returned by post, we estimate that if you use the carrier which delivered the Product to you, these costs should not exceed the sums we charged you for delivery.

8.11 Because you are a consumer, we are under a legal duty to supply Products that are in conformity with this Contract. As a consumer, you have legal rights in relation to Products that are faulty or not as described. These legal rights are not affected by your right of return and refund in this clause 8 or anything else in these Terms. Advice about your legal rights is available from your local Citizens' Advice Bureau or Trading Standards office.

10. Delivery

9.1 We will contact you with an estimated delivery date, which will be within 30 days after the date of the Dispatch Confirmation (the date on which we e-mail you to confirm our acceptance of your order). Occasionally our delivery to you may be affected by an Event Outside Our Control. See clause for our responsibilities when this happens.

9.2 Delivery of an Order shall be completed when we deliver the Products to the address you gave us and the Products will be your responsibility from that time.

9.3 You own the Products once we have received payment in full, including all applicable delivery charges.

9.4 If we miss the 30 day delivery deadline for any Products then you may cancel your Order straight away if any of the following apply:

1. we have failed to deliver the Products;
2. delivery within the delivery deadline was essential (taking into account all the relevant circumstances); or
3. you told us before we accepted your order that delivery within the delivery deadline was essential.

9.5 If you do not wish to cancel your order straight away, or do not have the right to do so under clause 9.4, you can give us a new deadline for delivery, which must be reasonable, and you can cancel your Order if we do not meet the new deadline.

9.6 If you do choose to cancel your Order for late delivery under clause 9.5, you can do so for just some of the Products or all of them, unless splitting them up would significantly reduce their value. If the Products have been delivered to you, you will have to return them to us or allow us to collect them, and we will pay the costs of this. After you cancel your Order we will refund any sums you have paid to us for the cancelled Products and their delivery.

9.7 Under UK, VAT is due on all sales to private individuals where delivery is to an address UK.

10. International delivery

10.1 If you order Products from our site for delivery to one of the International Delivery Destinations, your order may be subject to import duties and taxes which are applied when the delivery reaches that destination. Please note that we have no control over these charges and we cannot predict their amount.

10.2 You will be responsible for payment of any such import duties and taxes. Please contact your local customs office for further information before placing your order.

We take all reasonable care to ensure that the prices of Products are correct at the time when the relevant information was entered onto the system. However please see clause 11.4 for what happens if we discover an error in the price of Product(s) you ordered.

11.2 Prices for our Products may change from time to time, but changes will not affect any order you have already placed.

11.3 The price of a Product includes VAT (where applicable) at the applicable current rate chargeable in the UK for the time being. However, if the rate of VAT changes between the date of your order and the date of delivery, we will adjust the VAT you pay, unless you have already paid for the Products in full before the change in VAT takes effect.

11.4 Our site contains a large number of Products. It is always possible that, despite our reasonable efforts, some of the Products on our site may be incorrectly priced. If we discover an error in the price of the Products you have ordered we will contact you to inform you of this error and we will give you the option of continuing to purchase the Product at the correct price or cancelling your order. We will not process your order until we have your instructions. If we are unable to contact you using the contact details you provided during the order process, we will treat the order as cancelled and notify you in writing. Please note that if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as a mispricing, we do not have to provide the Products to you at the incorrect (lower) price.

12. How to pay

12.1 You can pay for Products using a debit card or credit card.

12.2 Payment for the Products and all applicable delivery charges is in advance. We take payment when the order is placed.

3. any breach of the terms implied by section 12 of the Sale of Goods Act 1979 (title and quiet possession);
4. 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
5. defective products under the Consumer Protection Act 1987.

14. Events outside our control

14.1 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.

14.2 If an Event Outside Our Control takes place that affects the performance of our obligations under a Contract:

1. we will contact you as soon as reasonably possible to notify you; and
2. 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 Products to you, we will arrange a new delivery date with you after the Event Outside Our Control is over.

14.3 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 by e-mail at office@rgjmuseum.co.uk or contact the Museum office by telephone on 01962 828549 or by mail to The Royal Green Jackets (Rifles) museum, Peninsula Barracks, Romsey Road, Winchester, SO23 8TS.

15.2 If you are a consumer you may contact us as described in clause 1.2.

16.4 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.

16.5 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.

16.6 If you are a consumer, please note that these Terms are governed by English law. This means a Contract for the purchase of Products through our site 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.

• if an item from an order which is subject to a Promotional Offer is returned, and by giving a full refund for such item, the amount spent by you would mean the order value is less than the qualifying spend for that Promotional Offer, then we may deduct the total discount given under the Promotional Offer from any refund;
• if you are ordering on the telephone, please confirm to our representative about the Promotional Offer you are seeking to use before concluding your order. Please note that no Promotional Offer can be applied retrospectively; and
• all orders are subject to stock availability and we reserve the right to withdraw, amend or extend Promotional Offers at any time.
