2. Entire agreement (business customers only). If you are a business, the Contract is the entire agreement between us in relation to your purchase.

5. Language. These Terms and the Contract are made only in the English language.
6. Are you a business customer or a consumer? We do not give business customers all the same rights as consumers. For example, business customers cannot cancel their orders, they have different rights where there is a problem with the Refurbished Goods and we do not compensate them in the same way for losses caused by us or our Refurbished Goods. Where a section of these Terms applies just to businesses or just to consumers, this is clearly stated in these Terms. You are a business customer if you are buying Refurbished Goods wholly or mainly for use in connection with your trade, business, craft or profession, even if you are an individual. You are a consumer if: (i) you are an individual; and (ii) you are buying products from us wholly or mainly for your personal use (not for use in connection with your trade, business, craft or profession).
Placing an order and its acceptance
1. Placing your order. Please follow the onscreen prompts to place an order. Each order is an offer by you to buy the refurbished goods specified in your order (“Refurbished Goods”) based on these Terms.
2. Correcting input errors. Our order process allows you to check and amend any errors before submitting your order to us. Please check your order carefully before confirming it. You are responsible for ensuring that your order is complete and accurate.
3. Acknowledging receipt of your order. After you place your order, you will receive an email from us acknowledging that we have received it, but please note this does not mean that we have accepted your order. Our acceptance of your order will take place as described in section 3.4.
4. Acceptance of your order. We only accept orders when we have checked them. We will confirm our acceptance to you by sending you an email that confirms that the Refurbished Goods have been dispatched (“Dispatch Confirmation”). The Contract between you and us will only be formed when we send you such Dispatch Confirmation.
5. Sometimes we reject orders. Sometimes we reject orders if we are unable to supply you with the Refurbished Goods for any reason. For example, if the ordered Refurbished Goods are unexpectedly out of stock or were mispriced by us. When this happens, we will let you know by email as soon as possible. If you have already paid for the Refurbished Goods, we will refund you the full amount paid for such Refurbished Goods by the method you used for payment within 14 days from our email notification. We will not charge a fee for the refund.
6. Incorrect or incomplete information. You are responsible for providing us with the information requested by us as part of your order and ensuring that such information is correct (e.g. correct delivery address). If you do not give us the information we have asked for, or if you have given us incorrect information, in each case, which results in us having to arrange a redelivery of the Refurbished Goods through no fault of our own, we will charge you a redelivery cost of £10 plus value added tax at the prevailing rate for such redelivery. You are responsible for keeping your account details for this Website up to date. You are also responsible for keeping your Paypal account details up to date.

Your rights and remedies if you are a consumer (consumers only)
Your right to change your mind/cancel:

If you are a consumer, you have a legal right to change your mind about your purchase (cancel the Contract) without giving any reason from the moment you place your order up to 14 days from the day you receive your Refurbished Goods and receive a refund of what you paid for them (including the delivery costs). This is subject to some conditions, as set out below in sections 9.1 to 9.5.
2. Exceptions. You cannot change your mind if one of the exceptions under applicable consumer law applies to the Refurbished Goods, for example: (a) products sealed for health protection or hygiene purposes, once these have been unsealed after you receive them; (b) goods that are made to your specifications or are clearly personalised; and (c) goods which become mixed inseparably with other items after their deliver.
3. The deadline for changing your mind and how to let us know. If you change your mind about your Refurbished Goods you must let us know (in writing) by sending your cancellation request via email to trade@scc.com no later than 14 days after the day we deliver such Refurbished Goods. If the Refurbished Goods are split into several deliveries over different days, the 14 days period runs from the day after the last delivery.
4. You have to return the Refurbished Goods at your own cost. If the Refurbished Goods have been delivered to you before you decide to change your mind then you have to return the Refurbished Goods to us without undue delay and in any event within 14 days of your telling us you have changed your mind. Returns under this section 9.4 are at your own cost and risk. We advise you to ensure the Refurbished Goods are adequately insured during their return journey. We will not refund your shipping cost for such return. You must send the Refurbished Goods back to us by using an established and reputable delivery service (for example, Royal Mail or DPD). You must keep a receipt or other evidence from such delivery service that proves you have sent it and when you sent it.

You must also package your Refurbished Goods with care so that they are not damaged during transport.
5. When and how we refund you. If you tell us you have changed your mind about Refurbished Goods that have not been delivered, we will refund you as soon as possible and within 14 days of receiving your cancellation request. If Refurbished Goods have been delivered and you are sending your Refurbished Goods back to us, we will refund you the full amount paid for such returned Refurbished Goods by the method you used for payment within 14 days of receiving them. We do not charge a fee for such refund. We may withhold the refund until we have received the Refurbished Goods. We only refund standard delivery costs. We do not refund any extra you have paid for a next day delivery. We will reduce your refund if you have used or damaged the Refurbished Goods. For example, we will reduce your refund if the returned Refurbished Goods are not in the same condition as their condition upon dispatch or if any accessories are missing. In some cases, because of the way you have treated the Refurbished Goods, no refund may be due. For help with returns, Contact Us.
