Information about us

 

Letts of London UK is a site operated by FLB Group Ltd (we) (us). We are registered in Scotland under company number SC007315 and with our registered office at 10 George Street, Edinburgh, Scotland, EH2 2PF. Our VAT number is GB 235539357.

 


Your status

 

By placing an order through our site, you warrant that:

(a) You are legally capable of entering into binding contracts;
(b) You are at least 16 years old

 


How the contract is formed between you and us

After placing an order, you will receive an email from us acknowledging that we have received your order. No offer submitted by you for the purchase of Product shall be accepted until we have confirmed receipt and acceptance of the offer by email. Acceptance is deemed effective upon us sending the email (the Order Confirmation). The contract between us (Contract) will only be formed when we send you the Order Confirmation.

The Contract will relate only to those Product(s) whose acceptance we have confirmed in the Order Confirmation. We will not be obliged to supply any other Product which may have been part of your order until the dispatch of such Product has been confirmed in a separate Order Confirmation.


Reductions/Cancellation

 

Any order or contract to which these Conditions apply cannot be reduced or cancelled by the Customer unless at the Company’s sole discretion with the written agreement of the Company and then only on such terms as will fully reimburse the Company for any expense incurred on the Customer’s behalf.

 

All work carried out, whether experimentally or otherwise, at the Customer’s request shall be charged.

 

 

Price and payment

Payment will be processed at point of order.  Should we for any reason be unable to fulfil your order, this will be refunded within 3 working days.

The price of the Product shall be our quoted price (except in case of obvious error) or if none is given the price in our current published product catalogue.

Prices are liable to change at any time, but changes will not affect orders in respect of which we have already sent you an Order Confirmation.

Our site contains a large number of Products and it is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the Products listed on our site may be incorrectly priced. We will normally verify prices as part of our acceptance procedures so that, where a Product's correct price is less than our stated price, we will charge the lower amount when dispatching the Product to you. If a product's correct price is higher than the price stated on our site, we will normally, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before dispatching the Product, or reject your order and notify you of such rejection.

We are under no obligation to provide the Product to you at the incorrect (lower) price, even after we have sent you an Order Confirmation, if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as a mispricing.

You shall be liable to pay our charges for delivery, which will vary depending on your location and the value of your order. Please refer to the delivery section for a list of delivery charges.

All charges must be paid prior to delivery. Legal ownership in the Goods remains with us until full payment has been received by us.

Sale items are not valid in conjunction with any other offers.
