These terms of sale apply to all goods and services supplied by Dike and Son (Dorset) Ltd via http://www.dikeandson.co.uk The website is governed by the following terms and conditions; they do not affect your statutory rights.

Eligibility criteria

Age Restrictions: You may only set up an account and order goods from our website if you are aged 18 or over, as we are an ethical retailer committed to upholding our legal obligations relating to age-restricted items. We may ask you to confirm your date of birth when you set up an account with us, and we reserve the right to operate a personal identity check.

Dike & Son follows a "Think 25" policy when delivering age-restricted items. It is your responsibility to ensure that the person accepting a delivery is over 18 and can demonstrate this if challenged. If the person receiving the goods looks under 25, photo ID proof of age such as a driving licence or passport will be requested. If proof is not available and there is no-one of that age at the address when delivery is being made, then we may not hand over your delivery. At our discretion, we may remove the age restricted products and hand over the remainder of your delivery.

Delivery area: For local delivery purposes, the delivery address needs to be within our designated delivery area.

If there is anything which you do not understand, or if you wish to obtain further information, please contact our customer services team on 01963 362204.

Product images are for illustrative purposes only. Although we have made every effort to display colours accurately, we cannot guarantee that your computer's display of the colours accurately reflect the colour of the products. Your products may vary slightly from those images.

You are deemed to place an order with us by ordering via our online checkout process. As part of our checkout process you will be given the opportunity to check your order and to correct any errors. We will send you an order acknowledgement, detailing the products you have ordered.

The contract is subject to your right of cancellation (see below).

Any order placed by you for goods advertised on our website is an offer by you to purchase the goods selected in your order. No contract exists between you and us for the sale of any goods until we have received your order and accepted it (which we may do at our discretion). Our acceptance of an order takes place when we dispatch the order even if your payment has been processed immediately.

Payment
Payment can be made by any of the options advertised on our website. Payment shall be due before delivery. If payment fails, your order will be cancelled. There will be no delivery until clear funds have been received.

Your browser will confirm that you are shopping in a secure environment by showing either a locked padlock icon or an image of a padlock next to the payment details in the relevant area of the website (Check Out).

To ensure that your credit, debit or charge card is not being used without your consent, we will validate name, address and other personal information supplied by you during the order process against appropriate third party databases.
