Terms and Conditions
Most of our business is done on a 'payment with order' basis. If, for any reason, the goods are not available for immediate dispatch then credit cards, cheques, etc. will not be debited until the goods are sent. Where goods are to be paid for by invoice they remain the property of APDL until paid for in full.
Most of our customers are private individuals so to keep down administrative costs we do not always supply a VAT invoice for small orders. If you require a VAT invoice then, to avoid delays, please specify at the time of ordering.
Returning goods.
Note that goods are not suppied 'on approval'. If any item, whether hardware or software, does not appear to work on your system then do not return it until you have contacted us. If you do return it without contacting us first, and, when we receive it, it is found not to be faulty, then we have no way of finding out what may have caused the problem on your system. In this case we reserve the right to charge carriage for sending the item back to you so that we can find out exactly what is wrong. In our experience most 'faulty goods' turn out to be caused by the customer misreading the instructions or some other simple problem which can be put right in a few seconds with a phone call.
The Distance Selling Regulations.
These recemmend that where goods are sold by mail order then, provided that the item is returned unused and in original packaging within seven days of purchase, a refund should be given. These regulations were intended for the more common type of goods purchased by mail order, eg. clothes, jewellery, houshold items, etc. where appearance and 'look and feel' are important. The intension is that the purchaser should have a similar opportunity to examine the goods before buying that they would in a retail shop and which is obviously not possible with mail order. They were not intended for computer components or software.
If you purchase software from APDL then we will not give a refund if you have opened the packaging. This does not, of course, apply if it is faulty in any way or has been misrepresented. If you require a program to perform a specific function and want to be sure that it will do so then ask for clarification before you purchase. If we are unable to confirm that it will do what you want then we will often allow you purchase with the assurance that, if it does not, we will offer a refund.
We will not normally give a full refund on hardware items unless they are faulty. With some items, such as RiscPC RAM, there is always the possibility that non faulty items may not work on a specific system, and in such cases, because it is never possible to offer a 100% guarantee that they will work, we will usually offer a refund, less carriage, if you have problems. If you feel this might be the case always contact us before you return the goods.
Nothing in the above shall in any way restrict or reduce any of your Statutory Rights, especially those granted under the Sale of Goods Act. In the event of any dispute will we always use our best endevours to agree upon a mutually satisfactory solotion. English law shall apply in all cases.
