Making a purchase
Pricing
We list all our prices exclusive of VAT. Please note that all our prices are subject to change without notice, so please check prices carefully before placing your order. On rare occasions, we may accidentally list an incorrect price for a Product on our website. Where the Product’s correct price is less than the listed price, we will charge you the lower amount when processing your order. However, if the Product’s correct price is higher than our listed price, we’re under no obligation to provide the Product to you at the incorrect (lower) price, even after we’ve sent you an order confirmation e-mail. In this situation, at our discretion we’ll either contact you for instructions before dispatching the Product, or reject your order and notify you of this.
Delivery costs
Some of our Products are heavy items – Sunamps are 100kgs upwards depending on the model and may take specialist lifting equipment to move. We recommend our specialist delivery service that will deliver the product to the position of installation.
Our standard delivery will only deliver a pallet to the roadside/pavement, from this point you will be responsible for moving the unit. The cost of standard delivery is usually £150 excluding VAT per pallet. We may on occasion run promotions that offer standard delivery for free or at other rates.
We offer a Special Delivery to point of installation via our delivery partner specialist who come armed with a range of powered stair climbers to deliver to your/customer’s address and bring the Sunamp to the exact point of installation at an agreed approximate time and exact date.
This Special Delivery service can overcome most problems associated with access to properties and with lifting up or down stairs. Operatives undergo an extensive training programme to ensure complete compliance to health and safety procedures, care towards the item being moved and the route taken. All stair climbing operations are carried out to specific risk assessment and method statements.
Special Delivery prices are £325 (excluding VAT) for one unit, per address. Additional units to the same address are charged at an additional £250 per unit. Special Delivery area exclusions apply.
When and where we deliver
Pallet delivery is available Monday to Friday (except Bank Holidays), between 9am and 5pm. We do not make deliveries over the weekend. Pallet delivery is available to all mainland locations in England, Scotland and Wales, and the Isle of Wight. We may be able to deliver to the Isle of Man, and some other locations, however, an extra charge will apply to these deliveries. Please note, if you are based outside of the UK, you should make your own arrangements to have the order delivered to a UK address, collected from the UK or arrange for a delivery to be made outside of the UK.
To check whether we can deliver to your area, please call our Customer Service Team on 01244 732705.
The Products within your order must be delivered to a single address.
Placing your order
You must accept these Terms in full before your order can be placed. We do not knowingly sell to children, so you must be aged 18 or over to place an order with us. Our online order process lets you check and amend any errors before submitting your order to us. Please take the time to read and check your order carefully at each stage of the process. Please make sure that you provide your correct phone number and email address when you place your order. When you place your order, this represents an offer to purchase Products from us. We will send you an email to confirm that we have received your order. However, this order confirmation email does not mean that we have accepted your order (see below).
How to pay
You can only pay for Products ordered through our website or over the phone by debit or credit card. We accept Visa and Mastercard credit cards, and Maestro, Delta and Visa Electron debit cards. We’ll take payment for your order, including delivery charges, from your debit or credit card at the time you place your order (unless you have received our prior express written (including email) agreement to any longer period for payment). However, this doesn’t mean that your order has been accepted and if we reject your order for any reason (see below), or we can’t supply the Products you’ve ordered, we’ll credit your payment card with a full refund where payment has already been made.
Accepting your order, your Contract with us and situations where we may have to reject your order
Your order will be automatically accepted when we dispatch your Products unless we reject your order (see below) and provided that we’ve received payment in full for the Products and any related delivery charges. The Contract between us is formed at the time we dispatch your Products. If your order is dispatched in more than one delivery or for more than one collection, each dispatch will form a separate Contract covering the Product(s) delivered or collected under that dispatch. Without affecting your Consumer Cancellation Right (see below), you can cancel your order for a Product at no cost, at any time before we dispatch that Product. However, if we have already ordered a Product to your specific measurements, or personalised it for you in any other way, this right to cancel does not apply. Before we have accepted your order, we reserve the right to tell you that your order has been rejected for any reason. In particular, all orders are subject to stock availability. We will tell you as soon as possible if we cannot supply one or more of the Products that you have ordered. If we cannot contact you about these out-of-stock Products, we will accept your order for the Products we do have in stock. If you have already paid for the unavailable Products, we will give you a refund for their purchase price.
Delivery
Timescales for delivery
We will always try our best to meet the estimated delivery timescales we give you. However, we won’t be held responsible for any failure to deliver your order within the stated timescales, provided we deliver the Products within 60 days of receiving your payment, or within a longer time period if we’ve expressly agreed this with you. If we cannot deliver your order within this timescale, we will let you know and give you the opportunity to either wait for the Products or cancel your Contract. If you choose to cancel, we will give you a full refund including any delivery charges that apply. Please note that we cannot be held responsible for any charges made by fitters or tradesmen as a result of your order not being delivered.
Number of deliveries
We will always try to make one single delivery where possible, to minimise inconvenience. However, this may not always be possible. Where your order contains a mix of Products with different delivery lead times, the longest lead time will always apply to the entire order.
Receiving your deliveries
All deliveries must be received and signed for by a person aged 18 or over. If no one is available to take the delivery, we will call you to arrange a suitable date and time for re-delivery. We may need to make an additional handling charge for this. If no one is available to receive the re-delivery, we may cancel your order and refund your payment, minus any delivery and handling charges.
Faulty Products and Products delivered damaged
Your rights
In the unlikely event that a Product is faulty, not as described or delivered damaged, your rights are set out in our Returns & Refunds Policy. If you are ordering Products from us as a consumer rather than in the course of your business, you may have additional legal rights and nothing in these Terms will affect these rights.
If there are any issues with the Products you have ordered, please contact us straightaway so we can help. You can email us at sales@thinkelectricheating.co.uk or call us on 01244 732705. Please have your order number to hand as well as details of the affected Product(s). If we offer you a refund, this will be credited to the card or account used to purchase the affected Product(s).
Statutory right to cancel if you are a consumer
Consumer Cancellation Right
If you’re ordering Products from us as a consumer, you have a statutory right to cancel any online or telephone orders (excluding orders for bespoke or made-to-measure Products) and receive a full refund, including standard delivery charges. This is your Consumer Cancellation Right and it applies in addition to any other rights set out under these Terms and our Group Sale Terms.
How to exercise your Consumer Cancellation Right
To exercise your Consumer Cancellation Right, you must contact us at any time before the Products are dispatched or within 14 days of delivery or collection (depending on which method applies), starting on the day after your delivery is made or on the day after the Products are collected. If your order is delivered or collected in multiple instalments, the 14 day period starts the day after the last instalment is delivered or collected. If we receive your cancellation notice outside these timeframes, your Consumer Cancellation Right will not apply. Please also note that if you exercise your Consumer Cancellation Right after the Products have been delivered or collected, you’ll be responsible for returning the Products to us at your own cost and within 14 days of cancelling your order.
How to claim a refund
In order to claim a refund, first, you would need to inform our Support Team at Think Electric Heating Ltd about your intention to return the Product within the respective time period. Then we will provide you with instructions on how to return the Product(s). After that you can proceed with sending the Product(s) back. Bear in mind that you take full liability in case the shipment gets lost on the way back to us.
Once received, the returns will be inspected upon arrival. The Product must be returned in its original packaging and un-used (unless there is a fault). We will also notify you of the approval or rejection of your refund. If you are approved, then your refund will be processed and sent back to you within 14 days of us receiving the returned goods. The refund will be equal to the full amount you have paid for your order. On rare occasions, if the unit is not received in re-sellable condition, we have the discretionary right to charge out-of-pocket expenses to refurbish it (up to 20% of the unit cost).
Refunds will not be offered if you have damaged an item by trying to repair it yourself or getting someone else to do it.
Your refund when you exercise your Consumer Cancellation Right
We will refund your returned Products as soon as possible and no later than 14 days after receiving them back. The refund will be made to the debit or credit card you used to pay for the Products. Please note that we have the right to reduce the amount of your refund to reflect any decrease in the Products’ value that has resulted from the manner in which you have handled them.
Other cancellations/returns
Unless you have a Consumer Cancellation Right or faulty/defective Product, any cancellations/returns and refunds are at our discretion. To enquire about cancellations and returns, please email sales@thinkelectricheating.co.uk or call us on 01244 732705 with your order number, postcode and phone number.
Other important terms
If any part of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable then, to the extent that it is invalid or unenforceable, the part in question will be treated as if it has been severed from these Terms. If this happens, the remaining parts of these Terms will continue in full force and effect. We reserve the right to make changes to these Terms in the future without giving notice. Any changes will be posted to this website and will take effect immediately. Therefore, you should read these Terms each time you access this website and before placing an order with us. These Terms and any Contracts shall be governed by and construed in accordance with English Law and shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English Courts.
If you are not satisfied with your purchase, please contact us at info@thinkelectricheating.co.uk or call us on 01244 732705. We will try to resolve any issues that you have as quickly as possible.

We shall be entitled to withdraw any quotation at any time (whether or not already accepted by you).
2.3 You acknowledge that you have not relied on any statement or representation made or given on our behalf. Any estimate of quantities needed, advice as to the suitability of any goods for a particular purpose and any plan or measurement given by us is given for guidance only (based on your information) and without liability on our part.

Each order shall be considered a separate order and we are unable to guarantee that further orders for the same goods will match the previous order.

In any event, our liability shall be limited to making good the shortfall or (at our option) issuing a credit note or refund at the pro rata Contract rate against any invoice raised for such goods.
4.6 We may deliver the goods by separate instalments. Each instalment shall be a separate Contract and cancellation or termination of one instalment shall not entitle you to cancel any other instalment.

5. Risk and Ownership of Goods
5.1 The goods are at your risk from the time of delivery or deemed delivery.
5.2 Ownership of the goods shall not pass to you until we have received in full (in cleared funds) all sums due to us in respect of the goods and all other sums which are or become due to us from you on any account or (if later) the time of delivery.
5.3 Until ownership of the goods has passed to you, you shall hold the goods on a fiduciary basis as our bailee and store the goods (at no cost to us) in satisfactory condition and in such a way that they remain readily identifiable as our property and you shall tell us immediately where the goods are situated.

7.2 The price for the goods and/or services shall be exclusive of any value added tax, which shall be payable by you at the rate applicable at the tax point.
7.3 We may at any time after acceptance of an order, but prior to delivery, revise the price payable for the goods and/or services to take account of increases in costs including, without limitation, costs of any goods or materials, carriage, labour or overheads, the increase or imposition of any tax duty or other levy and variation in exchange rate.
7.4 Unless we otherwise agree in writing, we may charge you the cost of delivering the goods to you.
7.5 We may charge for any special packaging to cover the cost of labour and materials. We will charge for pallets, crates and cases but these charges will be credited in full if such items are returned to us carriage paid and in good condition within seven days of delivery. Where we agree to collect such pallets, crates and cases, you shall make such items available for collection on request.
8. Payment and Interest
8.1 Payment for goods and/or services supplied during a month on a credit account shall be due and paid in full in one payment not later than the last day of the month following the month of delivery or deemed delivery of the goods and/ or services.

Payments made to an account may at our discretion restore your ability to borrow again (in which case it shall be up to the limit). You agree that we may obtain, retain and provide to third parties, references as to your financial standing. Any change in the constitution of your organisation must be notified to us in writing prior to it occurring in order that credit facilities to the reconstituted organisation may be put in place, subject always to our discretion and our confirmation in writing.

(a) you give us written notice of the defect within seven days of the date of delivery or completion of the services or, in the case of a defect which is not discoverable upon reasonable examination, within seven days of the time when you discover or ought to have discovered the defect (and in any event within twelve months from the date of delivery or completion of the services);

9.2 Our entire liability for defective goods and services is set out in 9.1 and, in particular, we shall not be responsible for either the cost of removing the goods from any place where they are installed or fixed (or making good the place after removal) or for the cost of installing or fixing any repaired or replacement goods unless due to our defective service.
9.3 On request, we will provide information about any manufacturer’s guarantee offered and available to you in respect of the goods, but we are not legally responsible for any obligation under manufacturer’s guarantees.

We reserve the right not to supply certain parts of the UK, customers or countries and to require from you full details of the end use and final destination of the goods.
15. Compliance with Bribery Legislation
You agree that you will not, in connection with the goods or services to be supplied under this Contract, bribe or attempt to bribe us, or any of our employees, agents or affiliates nor cause us to be in violation of any applicable bribery or anti-money laundering laws. We may terminate the Contract in the event of your breach of this clause. You shall indemnify us against all liabilities, costs, expenses, damages, claims, demands and losses suffered or incurred by us arising out of or in connection with any breach of this clause, whether or not the Contract has been terminated.
16. General
