General

The following terms and conditions apply to all orders which are processed by Hughes Electrical Direct either online or by any other form of communication and form part of the contract between us. Please read them carefully and print a copy for future reference. Your use of this site indicates your acceptance of these terms and conditions.

Prices

All prices include VAT. No contract is created until we have accepted your order. In the event a product is listed at an incorrect price due to a typographical error or error in pricing information received from our suppliers we will not process your order and will instead alert you immediately to the actual price of the goods. You will then have the option to proceed at this updated price. We will only process any such order with your explicit authority.

Delivery

At the checkout you will be invited to choose a delivery date that is convenient to you. Our aim is to deliver all goods ordered within 5 working days. Deliveries to Northern Ireland, Scottish Highlands and Islands may incur additional cost and take longer. If the product that you have selected is not available at the time of placing your order, and it is necessary for us to order directly from the Manufacturer, you will be contacted within 48 hrs. We will keep you updated with the progress of your order if the item is on back order.
 
Prices quoted are subject to stock availability. It is your responsibility to check your goods upon delivery for shortages or damage and to make a note of such on the carriers consignment note when you sign for the goods. If this is not done we are unable to take the matter up with the delivery company. If the delivery is not completed on the agreed date as a result of no one being available at the delivery address a second delivery charge will be applied. If installation is selected on a domestic appliance this is for connection to adjacent and available services and will not include hard wiring.
 
If you have requested that the old product is to be removed for scrap, this must be disconnected in advance of the delivery of the new appliance. If you have requested installation of a new appliance the appliance must be disconnected in advance of the delivery of the new appliance. If the old appliance is not disconnected we will not be able to remove the old product unless a payment is made for the delivery team to return. The cost for this will depend on your location and the size and weight of the product; it will be a minimum of £50.
 
Additional security checks may be carried out before your delivery date to ensure our customers are protected from on-line fraud. You may, therefore, be contacted before your delivery so these checks can be carried out.
