Terms and Conditions

(1) Introduction

Please read these terms of sale carefully.

You will be asked to expressly agree to these terms of sale before you place an order for products from our website.

(2) Interpretation

In these terms of sale, “we” means Leren Ltd (and “us” and “our” will be construed accordingly); and “you” means our customer or potential customer for products (and “your” will be construed accordingly).

(3) Order process

The advertising of products on our website constitutes an “invitation to treat”; and your order for products constitutes a contractual offer.  No contract will come into force between you and us unless and until we accept your order in accordance with the procedure detailed below.

In order to enter into a contract to purchase products from us, you will need to take the following steps:
(i) you must add any the products you wish to purchase to your shopping cart, and then proceed to the checkout; (ii) if you are a new customer, you must then create an account with us and log in; if you are an existing customer, you must enter your login details; (iii) once you are logged in, you must confirm your order and your consent to these terms of sale; (iv) you will be asked for payment details and your payment will be processed by Paypal, a secure online payment provider; (v) we will then send you an initial acknowledgment; and (vi) once we have checked whether we are able to meet your order, we will either send you an order confirmation (at which point your order will become a binding contract) or we will confirm by email that we are unable to meet your order.

We will not file a copy of these terms of sale specifically in relation to your order.  We may update the version of these terms of sale on the website from time to time, and we do not guarantee that the version you have agreed to will remain accessible.  We therefore recommend that you download, print and retain a copy of these terms of sale for your records.

The only language in which we provide these terms of sale is English.

Before you place your order, you will have the opportunity of identifying whether you have made any input errors by being required to confirm your order and contact/delivery details.  You may correct those input errors before placing your order.

(4) The products

Leren  Ltd provides a wide range of products which consist predominantly of educational resources, equipment, consumables and educational toys.

(5) Price and payment

Prices for products are quoted on our website.  The website contains a large number of products and it is always possible that some of the prices on the website may be incorrect.  We will verify prices as part of our sale procedures so that a product’s correct price will be stated when you pay for the product.

In addition to the price of the products, you will have to pay a delivery charge, which will be as stated when you pay for the product. (See Section 7 for our delivery rates).

Payment must be made upon the submission of your order.  We may withhold the products and/or cancel the contract between us if the price is not received from you in full in cleared funds.

The prices on the website exclude all value added taxes (where applicable) which are calculated at the checkout stage. You will be given the opportunity to view the total price including VAT before you commit to purchase.

Payment for all products must be made by debit or credit card OR by cheque written out to ‘Leren  Ltd’ (please note that opting to pay by cheque will constitute a Pro-forma invoice being raised and goods will not be dispatched until funds have been received and cleared in full).

Prices for products are liable to change at any time, but changes will not affect contracts which have come into force.

If you are a School or a registered UK educational establishment, then you may be entitled to have an account with us, enabling you to pay in arrears.  Where you hold an account, then upon or following the dispatch of products, we will send to you an invoice for payment of the price of those products, and you will pay such invoice within 30 days of the date of the invoice.  Accounts will be subject to such credit limits as we may notify to you from time to time.  We will be able to accept payment for invoices via debit card, credit card, cheque or BACS. If you do not pay any amount properly due to us under or in connection with these terms of sale on time, we may: charge you interest on the overdue amount at the rate of 2% per year above the base rate of Lloyds TSB Bank Plc from time to time (which interest will accrue daily until the date of actual payment, be compounded quarterly, and be payable on demand); or claim interest and statutory compensation from you pursuant to the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998.

(6) Your warranties

You warrant to us that:

(a) you are legally capable of entering into binding contracts, and you have full authority, power and capacity to agree to these terms of sale;

(b) the information provided in your order is accurate and complete; and

(c) you will be able to accept delivery of the products.

(7) Delivery policy

We will arrange for the products to be delivered to the address for delivery indicated in your order.

We will use reasonable endeavours to deliver products on or before the date for delivery set out in our order confirmation or, if no date is set out in our order confirmation, within 5 working days of the date of our order confirmation.  However, we cannot guarantee delivery by the relevant date. Depending upon the item, we will use either Royal Mail or a contracted courier service to deliver your order.

Our shipping rates are set out under the link ‘Delivery Information’

Please note that we are only able to accept online orders for delivery to the UK and any customers wishing to purchase goods living outside of the UK should telephone our Customer Service Department to request a shipping price.
(8) Risk and ownership

The products will be at your risk from the time of delivery.  Ownership of the products will only pass to you upon the later of:

(a) delivery of the products; and

(b) receipt by us of full payment of all sums due in respect of the products (including delivery charges).

Until ownership of the products has passed to you, you will possess the products as our fiduciary agent and bailee, and if you are a business customer you must store the products separately from other goods and ensure that the products are clearly identifiable as belonging to us.

We will be entitled to recover payment for the products even where ownership has not passed to you.

(9) Consumers: returns policy

This Section applies to consumers, not business customers.  If you are a business customer, the applicable returns policy is set out in Section 12.

You may cancel a contract to purchase a product or products at any time within 7 working days after the day you received the relevant products or products (subject to the limitations set out below).

If you cancel a contract on this basis, you must inform us in writing and return the products to us immediately, in the same condition in which you received them.  Products returned by you within the 7 working day period referred to above will be refunded in full (including the cost of sending the products to you).  However, you will be responsible for paying the cost of returning the product to us.

If you cancel a contract on this basis and you do not return to the products to us, we may recover the products and charge you for the costs we incur in doing so.  Similarly, if you return the products at our expense, we may pass that expense on to you.
(10) Consumers: statutory rights

Nothing in these terms of sale affects any statutory rights you may have as a consumer.

(11) Business customers: limitation of warranties

This Section applies only to business customers, not consumers.

We warrant to business customers that the products purchased from our website will:

(a) conform in all material respects to any applicable specification of such products [published on our website / issued by us]; and

(b) be free from material defects in materials and workmanship for a period of 1 year from the date of delivery of the products.

These terms of sale set out the full extent of our obligations and liabilities in respect of the products supplied to business customers hereunder. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law and subject to the first paragraph of Section 15, all conditions, warranties or other terms concerning the products which might otherwise be implied into a contract with a business customer under these terms of sale are expressly excluded.

(12) Business customers: returns policy

This Section applies to business customers, not consumers.  If you are a consumer, the applicable returns policy is set out in Section 9.

Products may only be returned to us with our prior agreement, at your expense, and according to our directions. Any products returned in contravention of this Section will not be the subject of any refunds or replacements and you will continue to be liable for payment of the price of such products.

Where you return products to us in accordance with the provisions of this Section, and in our reasonable opinion those products do not conform with the warranties set out in Section 11, then you will be entitled to replacement products (where replacements are available) or, where we agree, a refund of the price paid in respect of those products (including all delivery charges).

(13) Refunds

If you cancel a contract and are entitled to a refund, we will usually refund any money received from you using the same method originally used by you to pay for your purchase. We will process the refund due to you as soon as possible and, in any event, within 30 days of the day we received your valid notice of cancellation.

(14) Force majeure

In this Section and Section 15 below, “force majeure event” means:

(a) any event which is beyond our reasonable control;

(b) the unavailability of raw materials, components or products; and/or

(c) power failure, industrial disputes affecting any third party, governmental regulations, fires, floods, disasters, civil riots, terrorist attacks or wars.

Where a force majeure event gives rise to a failure or delay in us performing our obligations under these terms of sale, those obligations will be suspended for the duration of the force majeure event.

If we become aware of a force majeure event which gives rise to, or which is likely to give rise to, any failure or delay in us performing our obligations under these terms of sale, we will notify you forthwith.

We will take reasonable steps to mitigate the effects of the any force majeure event.

(15) Limitations of liability

Nothing in these terms of sale will limit or exclude your or our liability for: (i) death or personal injury caused by negligence; (ii) for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; or (iii) for any matter for which it would be illegal for to limit or exclude, or attempt to limit or exclude, liability.

Subject to this:

(a) we will not be liable for any losses arising out of a force majeure event;

(b) we will not be liable in respect of any defect in the products arising from fair wear and tear, wilful damage, accident, negligence by you or a third party, use otherwise than in accordance with the manufacturer’s or our instructions or recommendations, or any alteration carried out by you or any third party; and

(c) if you are a business customer: (i) our liability in connection with any product purchased through our website is strictly limited to [the higher of the purchase price of the relevant product and the replacement cost of the relevant product]; and (ii) we will not be liable for any loss of income or revenue, loss of business, loss of profits or contracts, loss of anticipated savings, loss of data or waste of management or office time, or loss of goodwill or reputational damage.
