The Products listed on the Site are sold by Electrolux plc to its customer (“Customer”). For the avoidance of doubt, separate terms and conditions apply for the spare parts and accessory shop available at https://shop.aeg.co.uk where you can also find the terms and conditions applicable for any product offerings and purchases made in that shop.

1.3.          The terms of use of the Site and information about Electrolux plc’ use and handling of your personal data are available here https://www.aeg.co.uk/overlays/terms-and-conditions/ (Use of Site) and here https://www.aeg.co.uk/overlays/data-privacy-statement (Privacy Policy).

1.4.          When placing an Order (as defined below), the Customer confirms that he or she is legally capable of entering into binding contracts and is not purchasing Products for the purpose of resale. If the Customer is a consumer as defined by the Consumer Rights Act 2015 (“Consumer”), the Customer confirms that he or she is at least eighteen (18) years old when placing an Order. If the Customer is not a Consumer, Sections 9 shall not apply and the Customer shall not benefit from rights as set out in Section 10 or any extended warranty referred to in Section 11.

1.5.          The placing of an Order by the Customer and acceptance of these Conditions by ticking the confirmation box as part of the check-out process shall be considered as a binding acceptance of the Conditions by the Customer, to the exclusion of any other terms which are implied by trade, custom or practice. Variations from the Conditions shall only be binding upon Electrolux plc, if expressly agreed to in writing by an authorized representative of Electrolux plc. In the event of a conflict between the Conditions and any conditions expressly agreed in writing between Electrolux plc and the Customer, the provisions of the latter shall apply.

1.6.          Electrolux plc reserves the right to change the Conditions at any time without prior notice. This will, however, not affect any existing Orders and the Conditions in place on the date when the Order is placed by the Customer shall be applicable to such transaction.

1.7.          Applicable laws may require that certain communications to the Consumer shall be in writing. By accepting the Conditions, the Consumer agrees that any communications that shall be made in writing can be provided via SMS, email or by posting notices on the Site and that such communications shall be considered to comply with any legal requirement that the communications made by Electrolux plc to the Consumer shall be in writing. This condition does not affect the Consumer’s statutory rights.

2.     PRODUCTS

2.1.          The Products and their essential characteristics are described on the Site. Electrolux plc may change the composition, characteristics, or assortment of the Products on the Site and their presentation or packaging. Such changes shall not apply to Orders already submitted by the Customer unless the changes are required by law.

2.2.          The images of the Products on the Site are for illustrative purposes only. Although every effort has been made to display the colours accurately, it cannot be guaranteed that a device's display of the colours accurately reflects the colour of the Products. The Product may therefore vary slightly from those images.

2.3.          All Products are subject to availability. Electrolux plc can only guarantee availability while stocks last. Should a Product placed in the cart run out of stock before the Order is completed the Customer will be informed and asked to remove the Product from the cart.

3.     ORDERS AND ORDER ACCEPTANCE

3.1.          The Customer places an order by completing the online checkout process on the Site (“Order”). Prior to approval of his or her Order, the Customer shall check the order summary and his or her delivery and contact information. The Order constitutes a binding offer by the Customer to purchase the Products detailed therein (“Ordered Products”). After an Order is placed, the Customer will receive an e-mail from Electrolux plc acknowledging receipt of the Order (“Order Confirmation”). This automated Order Confirmation is solely an acknowledgement of receipt of the Order and does not result in an acceptance of the Order or formulation of a binding contract of sale between the Customer and Electrolux plc.

3.2.          A binding contract of sale (“Contract”) between the Customer and Electrolux plc, is formed after Electrolux plc has accepted the offer made by the Customer by placing the Order. Acceptance by Electrolux plc will be made by confirming the Order by sending an email including proof of purchase of the Ordered Products, by confirming the dispatch of the Ordered Products, or through conduct, in particular by scheduling an appointment for delivery of the Ordered Products or dispatch of the Ordered Products.

3.3.          If, while processing an order, Electrolux plc discovers that all or parts of the Ordered Products are not available or for any reason cannot be delivered to the Customer, Electrolux plc will immediately and no later than two (2) days after the date on which the Order was placed inform the Customer about this and cancel the Order fully or in part if the Customer wishes to receive only part of the Order. Electrolux plc will reimburse any amounts already paid to Electrolux plc by the Customer in relation to the Order or, in case of partial acceptance of the Order, the Ordered Products that cannot be delivered.

3.4.          Electrolux plc will remain the owner of the Ordered Products and shall not be obliged to deliver any Ordered Products or perform any other obligation under a Contract until Electrolux plc has received final confirmation of payment in full of all amounts due by the Customer to Electrolux plc under the relevant Contract.

3.5.          The Customer will be responsible for the accuracy of the e-mail address, delivery address, the mobile telephone number and all other information provided to Electrolux plc. If the Customer would discover that any information provided to Electrolux plc as part of placing an order is incorrect, the Customer shall immediately inform Electrolux plc’ Customer Service and provide the correct information. In the event that it would not be possible to correct the information due to the risk of fraud or for any other reason, Electrolux plc reserves the right to cancel the Order and will reimburse any amounts already paid to Electrolux plc by the Customer in relation to the Order.

4.     DELIVERY

4.1.          The Ordered Product will be delivered to the delivery address anywhere within Mainland UK in accordance with the selected delivery option and within the estimated delivery time as specified in the Order Confirmation. “Mainland UK” does not include the Channel Islands, British Forces Post Office and mail forwarding companies, PO boxes, Northern Ireland, Isle of Man, Jersey, Guernsey, Shetland Islands, Orkney Islands, Isle of Scilly and Scottish Islands and deliveries are not made to these areas.

4.2.          The delivery dates provided on the Site and in the Order Confirmation are estimated delivery dates and non-binding. In the event that there is a change to the estimated delivery date provided in the Order Confirmation as a result of manufacturing delays or other unforeseen events, Electrolux plc will provide the Customer with a new delivery date or, if delivery is made through appointment as set forth in Section 4.4, contact the Customer to set a new appointment. If Electrolux plc is not able to deliver an Ordered Product within thirty (30) days after the Order was made by the Customer, and unless a later delivery date has been expressly agreed between Electrolux plc and the Customer, the Customer has a right to withdraw its Order in respect of the Ordered Product which has not been delivered and Electrolux plc will reimburse any amounts already paid to Electrolux plc by the Customer in relation to such Ordered Products.

4.3.          Various delivery methods may be available to the Customer, depending on the type and size of the Ordered Products and the address to which the Customer would like the Ordered Products to be delivered. Information about the delivery options offered by Electrolux plc and related requirements and limitations can be found here https://www.aeg.co.uk/support/support-articles/buying-directly-from-aeg/. Before the Customer places an Order, he or she shall be informed of how the Ordered Products will be delivered and any requirements related to such delivery.

4.4.          If an appointment must be made for delivery to take place, Electrolux plc or a designated third party shall contact the Customer after the Order is placed to set an appointment for the delivery to take place on a specified date and time period (“Appointment”). Any cancellation or rebooking by the Customer of an Appointment must be made at least forty-eight (48) hours before the scheduled delivery time. If a cancellation/rebooking is made after this time, Electrolux will not refund any costs relating to the delivery to the Customer and the Customer will have to pay for a new delivery of the Ordered Product. This applies also in cases where the first delivery was included in the price of the Ordered Product or delivery was otherwise provided to the Customer at no additional cost. If the Customer has ordered installation of the Ordered Product, the same cancellation/rebooking policy applies and any costs relating to the installation will not be refunded by Electrolux and the Customer will have to pay for a new installation of the Ordered Product, see also Section 5. This provision does not affect the Consumer's statutory rights.

4.5.          The Ordered Product is delivered to and will be under the responsibility of the Customer from the moment the Ordered Product is physically delivered to the Customer, or to any third party designated by the Customer to take delivery.

4.6.          If the Customer would not take possession of the Ordered Product at the time of delivery, and this is not due to any fault of Electrolux plc, Electrolux plc will not refund any costs incurred by Electrolux plc relating to the delivery or any services ordered to be performed at the time of delivery to the Customer. If the Customer would like a new delivery of the Ordered Product, the Customer should contact Electrolux plc Customer Service. The cost for any new delivery and additional services ordered by the Customer, such as installation and transportation of an old product to recycling, will be paid by the Customer.   

4.7.          If the Customer would not order a new delivery of the Ordered Product or such delivery is not ordered within fourteen days after the first delivery attempt failed, Electrolux plc may withdraw from the Contract through simple notice and at no additional cost to or compensation being due by Electrolux plc, other than the reimbursement of the price paid by the Customer to Electrolux plc for the Ordered Product, as the case may be less any costs incurred by Electrolux plc due to the return of the Ordered Product and/or any loss of value of the Ordered Product suffered since the first attempt to deliver.

4.8.          If an Ordered Product shall be delivered with home delivery the Customer is obliged to ensure that it has protected floors, walls and thresholds, with extra precaution for walls and ceilings in confined spaces, and that there is free path without hindrance for the delivery of the Ordered Product and provision of any additional services ordered. The Customer also understands that Electrolux plc’ third party service providers work with protective equipment such as safety shoes due to work environment and safety. Electrolux plc or any designated third party is not responsible for any damage incurred which is due to the Customer not having ensured sufficient protection of any surfaces or if such damage is otherwise not due to negligence or fault by Electrolux plc or the third party service provider.

5.     INSTALLATION SERVICES AND ADDITIONAL SERVICES

5.1.          The delivery of the Ordered Product will only include installation if this is expressly specified on the Site with regard to the Ordered Product or if the Customer has purchased the installation of the Ordered Product by adding it to the Order. Installation service is subject to availability and can be performed for certain Products as stated on the Site in Mainland UK.

5.2.          The Customer acknowledges that specific conditions, requirements and/or restrictions may apply to installation services when a Customer is purchasing an installation service or a Product that includes installation by Electrolux plc or a designated third party. Detailed information about applicable installation requirements depending on type of Product can be found here https://www.aeg.co.uk/support/support-articles/buying-directly-from-aeg/ and further information can also be provided by the installer prior to the start of any installation service. The Customer undertakes to follow such further conditions, requirements and/or restrictions. In case of conflict, such special conditions and/or restrictions shall take precedence over the Conditions.

5.3.          Subject to Section 5.2, the following conditions apply to any installation service performed by Electrolux plc or a designated third party:

  1. Electrolux plc may designate and authorize a third party to carry out the installation service. The Customer acknowledges that Electrolux plc may, in accordance with its Privacy Policy, share the information necessary for the installation of the Ordered Product provided by the Customer with the third party designated by Electrolux plc for the performance of the installation service.

  2. Electrolux plc or the designated third party will contact the Customer to schedule an Appointment for the installation service to be performed. The Customer agrees to allow the installer to visit his or her premises and carry out the installation service.

  3. The installation will only take place if there is someone present at the designated premises during the Appointment and to allow entry to the premises. The installer will not wait past the scheduled appointment time, following which the Customer will need to schedule a new Appointment in which case an additional cost corresponding to the cost of a new installation service based on the current price list for such services may be charged. This applies also in cases where the first installation was included in the price of the Ordered Product.

  4. The Customer is responsible for ensuring that the Ordered Product fits in the intended place and that hoses and cables, as relevant, are sufficient for the prepared socket. Installation always takes place on existing outlets for electricity and, where applicable, water and sewage. The Customer is also responsible for ensuring that at the time of installation and as relevant depending on the Ordered Product, there is electricity and/or internet connection available as well as existing water supply. The installation services do not include attaching extension hoses or stacking appliances using kits, even if purchased at the time of placing the order.

  5. Electrical installation is only performed on the extended electrical outlet / terminal block with the intended voltage for the product. The installation is carried out with the product cord that comes with the Ordered Product or the electrical cord from the old product if it is deemed by Electrolux plc or the designated third party to be in good condition. Moving electrical outlets or pulling out new ones is not included in the service.

  6. The installation services do not include any form of carpentry work such as drilling holes in walls or cabinets.

  7. If the Electrolux plc or the designated third party installer deems that the work with an electrical installation can be considered dangerous or deviates from applicable laws and regulations, cause damage to persons and or the environment or is otherwise not considered appropriate, the installer has the right and obligation to not continue to perform the service.

  8. Where the installer fails to carry out any installation service, or such service must be interrupted, due to (i) the Customer not having followed the installation requirements for the Ordered Product provided to Customer in these Conditions, on the Site or at any time prior to the start of the installation service, or (ii) any other interference or hindrance at the designated premises not due to any fault or negligence by Electrolux plc or the designated third party, the Customer will need to schedule a new Appointment at additional cost as agreed between the Customer and the installer or, as applicable, corresponding to the cost of a new installation service at a cost of £100 GBP/based on the current price list for such services with a maximum cost of £140 GBP. This applies also in cases where the first installation was included in the price of the Ordered Product.

  9. The Customer is entitled to request that the Ordered Product is re-installed or a refund, as applicable, if the performed installation service has not been carried out in accordance with his or her statutory rights. Electrolux plc reserves the right to inspect and verify such a request. If the issue results from (i) any (installation) instructions provided by the Customer that were against the instructions of Electrolux plc or the installer, (ii) misuse, neglect, physical damage, tampering or incorrect adjustment, or (iii) normal wear and tear, Electrolux plc reserves the right to refuse awarding a refund to the Customer or to claim compensation from the Customer in case the installation service has nonetheless been performed twice. If the Customer is a Consumer, this does not affect the Consumer’s statutory rights. When a refund is to be awarded, Electrolux plc will process this as soon as possible and in any case within fourteen (14) days of the day the Customer received confirmation of his or her entitlement to a refund. Unless otherwise agreed, the refund will normally be made by means of the same payment method originally used by the Customer when purchasing the Ordered Product.

  10. If a Consumer wishes to use its right of withdrawal as set forth in Section 9 and return an Ordered Product that has been installed, the Product will have to be uninstalled by the Consumer unless otherwise agreed by an authorized representative of Electrolux plc and the Consumer. The same applies if a Consumer would like to exchange an installed Product within the scope of the withdrawal period in which case the Consumer will also have to purchase a new installation service in order for the exchanged Product to be installed at delivery.

5.4.          Any cancellation or rebooking by the Customer of an Appointment for installation must be made at least forty-eight (48) hours before the scheduled installation time. If a cancellation/rebooking is made after this time, Electrolux plc will not refund any costs incurred by Electrolux plc relating to the installation to the Customer and the Customer will have to pay for a new installation of the Ordered Product at a cost of £100 GBP. This applies also in cases where the first installation was included in the price of the Ordered Product or otherwise provided to the Customer at no additional cost.

5.5.          In connection with the installation of an Ordered Product, Electrolux plc or the designated third party may assist with the disconnection of the old product provided that such disconnection service has been purchased by the Customer or is otherwise included in the Customer’s Order which has been accepted by Electrolux plc.

5.6.          It may for certain Products be possible for Customers to purchase additional services on the Site, such as extended warranties or special delivery conditions. Such additional services may be subject to specific general terms and conditions which in that case will be displayed and made available to the Customer before the Customer places an Order.

6.     TRANSPORT OF OLD PRODUCT TO RECYCLING

6.1.          In connection with the home delivery of an Ordered Product, Electrolux plc or the designated third party has the opportunity to assist with transporting the old product of the same type and size as the Ordered Product for environmental recycling if such transportation service has been purchased by the Customer or is otherwise included in the Customer’s Order which has been accepted by Electrolux plc.

6.2.          For Electrolux plc or the designated third party to be able to perform the transportation service, the old product must be removed and disconnected and, if necessary, defrosted and emptied of water. The product must also be uninstalled from electricity, water and sewage. Disconnection of the old product is only included when the Customer has purchased disconnection or if disconnection is otherwise included in the Customer’s Order which has been accepted by Electrolux plc. If the Product shall be disconnected by the Customer, the Customer shall also move the Product to a safe place for collection.

6.3.          The transport of an old product to recycling can only be ordered in connection with home delivery and cannot be purchased separately. If the transport of an old product is not possible due to any fault of the Customer, for example if the Customer has not followed any of the requirements set forth in Section 6.2 or if the old product is not of the same type or size as the Ordered Product, Electrolux plc reserves the right to not perform the transportation service ordered or, as agreed with the Customer, post-invoice the Customer for any additional costs that may arise for the transportation service. Electrolux plc will not refund any costs incurred by Electrolux plc relating to the non-performance of a transportation service in the event such non-performance is due to any fault or negligence by the Customer.

7.     PRICES AND DELIVERY COSTS

7.1.          All prices of the Products or additional services are as quoted on the Site and include applicable taxes. Unless indicated otherwise on the Site or during the check-out process, prices do not include delivery costs which are quoted separately on the Site. Prices are subject to change at any time, but such changes will not affect placed Orders accepted by Electrolux plc.

7.3.          Prices for delivery or installation services are determined on the assumption that these services can be executed under standard conditions. If access to the place of delivery is difficult due to reasons attributable to, by way of example but not limited to, the presence of gates, narrow passages, traffic restrictions on heavy vehicles, reduced size of elevators, absence of elevators or hoists in case of deliveries to the upper floors, or deriving from the need to adapt the furniture to install the Ordered Product, the price for delivery or installation can be made subject to an additional cost to be agreed in advance between the Customer and Electrolux plc or the designated third party responsible for the performance of the service. If no agreement can be reached, the Ordered Product will remain in the possession of Electrolux plc, the designated transporter or installer. In such a case, Electrolux plc reserves the right to withdraw from the Contract through simple notice and at no additional cost to nor compensation being due by Electrolux plc, other than the reimbursement of the price paid by the Customer to Electrolux plc for the Ordered Product, as the case may be less any costs incurred by Electrolux plc and/ or loss of value of the Ordered Product suffered since the first attempt to deliver. Electrolux plc will also not refund any costs relating to the delivery or installation of the Ordered Product or any additional services ordered by the Customer which were scheduled to take place at the time of delivery and/or installation of the Ordered Product, as applicable.

8.     PAYMENT

8.1.          Payment is limited to the options provided on the Site and includes major payment cards, Klarna and PayPal.

8.2.          The undertaking to pay given by means of a payment card is binding. By communicating the information on his or her payment card, the Customer authorizes Electrolux plc to charge his or her payment card for the amount corresponding to the total price of the Order all inclusive.

8.3.          To this end, the Customer confirms that he or she is the holder of the payment card to be charged and that the name on the payment card is actually the Customer’s. The Customer shall provide Electrolux plc with such information regarding the payment card which is necessary for the transaction to be successful.

8.4.          When payment is made by means of payment card, the money will be reserved when the Order is placed provided that the transaction is approved, and an Order Confirmation will be sent to the Customer’s email address. The payment card will be debited when the Ordered Products are ready for delivery to the Customer.

8.5.          Any payments made through a third party such as Klarna or PayPal will be subject to separate terms and conditions between the Customer and the third party which will include information about, for example, how money is reserved and captured as part of the payment process. For the avoidance of doubt, any such terms and conditions are between the Customer and the third party and Electrolux plc is not party to such agreement.

8.6.          Electrolux plc shall implement every means to ensure the confidentiality and security of data transmitted on the Site.

9.     RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL

9.1.          Pursuant to Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 the Consumer shall have a period of fourteen (14) days from the day he or she takes possession of the Ordered Product, to exercise his or her right of withdrawal without having to motivate such a decision. If the Ordered Products are delivered through separate installments but are part of the same Order, the fourteen (14) day withdrawal period shall be counted from the receipt of the last Ordered Product.

9.2.          If the Consumer exercises the withdrawal right, Electrolux plc shall refund all the payments received from the Consumer relating to the Ordered Product, including the price and the original delivery costs. However, if the Consumer has chosen an express delivery or other special delivery method for the original delivery, Electrolux plc will only reimburse costs corresponding to a standard delivery based on the Ordered Products. If the Customer has ordered more than one Product and only part of the Ordered Products are being returned by the Customer, Electrolux plc will not refund the delivery cost to the extent such delivery costs would have been the same if the Customer would only have ordered the Product which is not being returned. Electrolux plc may moreover withhold that part of the original payment that corresponds to the loss of value caused by the handling of the Ordered Product by the Consumer that goes beyond what is necessary to verify the nature, characteristics and functioning of the Ordered Product. The Consumer acknowledges that Products that are consumables may have lost all value in case they are unsealed in which case Electrolux plc will not refund the price of the Ordered Product. If at delivery, the Ordered Product has been installed by Electrolux plc or a designated third party, and such installation has been accepted by the Consumer to be performed before the end of the fourteen (14) day withdrawal period, Electrolux plc may moreover withhold the installation costs paid by the Consumer. The same applies for any other service ordered by the Consumer that the Consumer has accepted to be performed before the end of the fourteen (14) day withdrawal period and which would otherwise have been covered by the Consumer’s right of withdrawal.

9.3.          The withdrawal right may be exercised by sending notification to Electrolux plc by mail to the following address F.A.O. D2C Customer Service, Electrolux Plc, 101 Addington Way, Luton, Bedfordshire LU4 9QQ United Kingdom or by e-mail new.appliance@aeg.co.uk. The Consumer can also contact Electrolux plc’ Customer Service by chat or phone using the contact details provided on the Site. This notification can either be made by providing Electrolux plc with a completed withdrawal form included as an Exhibit to these Conditions, or by submitting any other explicit statement of his/her decision to withdraw from the Contract. In case of withdrawal, the Consumer shall return the Ordered Products, no later than fourteen (14) days after communicating his or her decision of withdrawal. For Products delivered through Appointment, the Consumer shall contact Electrolux plc to agree on a time for collection of the Ordered Product. Collection is only available from the original delivery address. For Ordered Products delivered by other means than Appointment, the Consumer shall be returned via DPD, additional information can be found here https://www.aeg.co.uk/support/support-articles/buying-directly-from-aeg/.

9.4.          Electrolux plc will refund the Consumer within fourteen (14) days after the day it is informed of the decision of the Consumer to use his right of withdrawal. Electrolux plc may, however, withhold the reimbursement until Electrolux plc has received the returned Ordered Product, or until the Consumer has supplied evidence of having sent back the Ordered Product, or until Electrolux plc has collected the Ordered Product, whichever is earlier. Reimbursement shall be made by means of the same payment method used by the Consumer to pay for the Ordered Products, unless the Consumer has indicated otherwise.

9.5.          The withdrawal right set forth in this Section 9 shall not apply to:

  1. the delivery of Products which are not suitable for return due to health protection or hygienic reasons if unsealed by the Consumer after delivery, or which are, after delivery, inseparably mixed with other items;

  2. the delivery of Products made to the Consumer’s specifications or clearly personalised;

  3. the delivery of Products which are liable to deteriorate or expire rapidly;

  4. urgent repairs or maintenance specifically requested by the Consumer to be performed by Electrolux plc or a designated third party; and

  5. an installation service or any other service ordered by the Consumer which has been fully performed and the Consumer has accepted that the performance of such service starts before the withdrawal period has expired.

10.  CONFORMITY, LEGAL RIGHTS AND CLAIMS

10.1.       The Customer shall inspect and examine the Ordered Product immediately upon receipt and verify whether the quality and quantity correspond to what has been contractually agreed. Any claim for non-conformity in quantity or for visible defects shall be notified to Electrolux plc in writing within reasonable time from the point where the non-conformity was discovered Product. Any such claim must be made in writing and shall include reasonably detailed information on the Ordered Product and the defects in respect of which the Customer raises the claim. This does not affect the Customer’s legal rights.  

Consumer rights in respect of defective Ordered Products

10.2.       Electrolux plc is under a legal duty to supply the Ordered Product in conformity with the Contract. A summary of the Consumer’s legal rights in relation to the Ordered Product is set out in this Section 10.2. These are subject to certain exceptions.

1.     If the Ordered Product is goods, for example a washing machine, the Consumer Rights Act 2015 says goods must be as described, fit for purpose and of satisfactory quality. During the expected lifespan of the Ordered Product the Consumer’s legal rights entitle him or her to the following:

                                      i.         Up to thirty (30) days: if the goods are faulty, then the Consumer can get an immediate refund.

                                     ii.         Up to six (6) months: if the goods can't be repaired or replaced, then the Consumer is entitled to a full refund, in most cases.

                                    iii.         Up to twelve (12) months: if the goods can't be repaired or replaced, then the Consumer is entitled to a full refund, in most cases.

If the digital content included in the Ordered Product is faulty, the Consumer is entitled to a repair or a replacement. If the fault cannot be fixed, or if it has not been fixed within a reasonable time and without significant inconvenience, the Consumer can get some or all of his or her money back. If the fault cannot be fixed, or if it has not been fixed within a reasonable time and without significant inconvenience, the Consumer can get some or all of his or her money back. If the Consumer can show the fault has damaged his or her device and Electrolux plc has not used reasonable care and skill, the Consumer may be entitled to a repair or compensation.

10.3.       The Consumer cannot claim on the basis that the Ordered Product does not conform with the Contract if:

1.     the Consumer simply changes their mind about wanting the Ordered Product;

2.     the Consumer chose the Ordered Product themselves for a purpose that is neither obvious nor made known to Electrolux plc and the Customer then finds that the item is simply unsuitable for that purpose;

3.     the defect or fault appears as a result of fair wear and tear;

4.     the Consumer misuses the Ordered Product, for example, by not using the Ordered Product in accordance with the user instruction manual and/or the instructions on the packaging of the Ordered Product;

5.     the Consumer has tried their own repair or had someone else attempt a repair, and this has damaged the Ordered Product; or

6.     unless the Ordered Product is installed by Electrolux plc (or under Electrolux plc’s responsibility) as part of the Contract, the Ordered Product is installed improperly.

10.4.       If the Consumer wishes to exercise his or her legal rights to reject defective Ordered Products, the Customer must post them back to Electrolux plc or (if they are not suitable for posting) allow Electrolux plc to collect them. Electrolux plc will pay the costs of postage or collection.

 

Rights in respect of defective Ordered Products for business Customers

10.5.       If you are a business Customer we warrant that on delivery any Ordered Products which are goods shall conform in all material respects with their description; and be free from material defects in design, material and workmanship.

10.7.       Electrolux plc will not be liable for an Ordered Product's failure to comply with the warranty in Section 10.5 if:

1.     the Customer makes any further use of such Ordered Product after giving a notice in accordance with Section 10.6.1;

2.     the defect arises because the Customer failed to follow Electrolux plc’s oral or written instructions as to the storage, installation, commissioning, use or maintenance of the Ordered Product or (if there are none) good trade practice;

3.     the Customer alters or repairs the Ordered Product without Electrolux plc’s written consent; or
