Customer Terms and Conditions

These Terms and Conditions were last updated on 30th March 2016

Introduction

1.1 You can place orders with ZWILLING J.A. HENCKELS online.

1.2 This option is collectively referred to as the “Services”/“Service”.

1.3 The terms and conditions contained in this document (“Terms and Conditions”) apply to purchases made using this Service.

1.4 Throughout these Terms and Conditions, the terms “ZWILLING J.A. HENCKELS, we, our, us” refers to ZWILLING J.A. HENCKELS (UK) Ltd. (Company number 05816563).

1.5 By using the Services you are indicating your acceptance to be bound by these Terms and Conditions. They form a legal agreement between you and us and can only be amended with our consent. Any purchases you make are subject to these Terms and Conditions.

1.6 We reserve the right to change these Terms and Conditions from time to time without prior notice, provided that any such change will not affect any purchases you have made before the change is implemented. Your continued use of the Services shall signify your acceptance to be bound by the latest Terms and Conditions.

1.7 We will use any information you provide in accordance with our privacy policy.

Ordering

2.1 All orders placed by you are subject to acceptance by us. We may choose not to accept your order for any reason and will not be liable to you or to anyone else in those circumstances.

2.2 If a product you wish to order is out of stock, an out of stock message will be displayed next to the product. If you wish to know when the product is back in stock please select the button, ‘Please notify me when this product is available again’. A box will open for you to fill in your name and email address. When the product is back in stock and available to order you will receive a notification via email.

2.3 Acceptance of your order and the formation of a contract between us will take place when we despatch the products ordered to you, unless we have notified you that we do not accept your order or you have cancelled it in accordance with section 7 below.

2.4 You can check the status of an outstanding order at any time by phone or online.

2.5 It is an offence for any person under the age of 18 years to purchase a knife, or attempt to purchase a knife in-store or online in the UK. As a responsible online retailer, ZWILLING J.A. HENCKELS performs an age verification check on the purchaser when an attempt to buy a knife is made. This check is solely to verify that the purchaser is over 18 years of age and is an automated part of the transaction process. The age verification check is made with our age verification partner GB Group using data sources including but not necessarily limited to the electoral roll, telephone directory and credit reference data. Where a check is made against credit reference data, this is a ‘soft’ check, meaning that it does not affect your credit score. Where the purchaser's age cannot be verified online, we may ask for further documentary proof in order to complete the transaction. Documentary proof can either be a UK driver's licence or international passport (including UK passports). Unfortunately we cannot use EU driver's licences or national ID cards to complete the age verification check. If you have any questions about the age verification check, please email us at sales@zwilling.co.uk or call 0845 262 1731, Monday to Friday, 8.30am to 5pm and we will be happy to help.

2.5a More information on the sale of age-restricted goods can be found on the Chartered Trading Standards Institute’s Business Companion website.

2.6 You must provide a valid email address when placing an order to enable us to send you the required contract in durable form. The contract between ZWILLING J.A. HENCKELS and the purchaser is concluded when payment for the order has been accepted by ZWILLING J.A. HENCKELS. The order is confirmed in an order confirmation email sent to the purchaser at the email address entered when making the purchase.

6.5.a. Non-delivery of your order. We aim to deliver your order within a maximum of three working days from the date your order was placed. If your order does not reach you within this time please notify us by email to sales@zwilling.co.uk or by phone on 0845 262 1731 so we can swiftly resolve the issue.

6.6 If you choose to use the Services from outside the United Kingdom, you are responsible for complying with local laws, if and to the extent that they are applicable. We do not represent or warrant that any product we sell is appropriate for use or available in locations outside of the United Kingdom, or that it complies with any legal or regulatory requirements of such other locations.

6.7 If you order products for delivery outside the United Kingdom, they may be subject to import duties and taxes; you will be responsible for these. We have no control over such charges and cannot advise you as to what they may be, although your local customs office may be able to assist. For deliveries outside the United Kingdom, you will be regarded as the importer and it is your responsibility to comply with all laws and regulations of the country in which the products are to be delivered. Cross-border deliveries may be subject to opening and inspection by customs authorities.

Returns and Cancellation

7.1 You have a statutory right to cancel your purchase. If you wish to cancel you must tell us in writing within 14 days from the date on which the product is delivered.

The product must be returned unused. Please return the product with its original packaging. Please allow up to 14 days from our receipt of your returned product for your refund to be processed.

7.2 It is our policy to contact and work with customers whose level of returns is very high. This is to ensure that our prices are not negatively impacted by the cost to ZWILLING J.A. HENCKELS of dealing with an extremely high number of returns by a small minority of customers. If a customer continues to return an extremely high number of products to us, we reserve the right to close their account. If this happens the customer’s statutory rights will remain unaffected, orders accepted by us before the account has been closed will be fulfilled in accordance with these terms and individual product warranties will continue to be honoured in accordance with their terms.

7.3 If you wish to return an unused, non-faulty item and replace it with an alternative item please cancel and return your initial product and place a different, separate order for the replacement.

Faulty or Damaged Products

8.1 ZWILLING J.A. HENCKELS will refund the purchase price together with the delivery charge for any product that is delivered in a damaged or faulty condition. We will also refund the purchase price together with the delivery charge for any product that develops a fault within a period of 1 year from delivery (other than due to normal wear and tear, failure to follow instructions or misuse).

8.2 Alternatively, if you would like, ZWILLING J.A. HENCKELS will replace the product with the same, or a similar product (subject to stock availability). Contact our Customer Service representatives (see section 15 below) who will send you a pre-paid label to return the product by post or arrange for a courier to collect it from you depending on your location. If you are from outside of the UK please contact customer service who will advise you on the best possible way of returning your item. Return delivery charges will be refunded. Please include your order number (if possible) with the returned product and indicate whether you require a refund or replacement (subject to stock availability). If the product is to be returned by post, please remember to obtain proof of posting. Please allow 14 days from our receipt of your product for your refund to be processed or a replacement product to be despatched.

8.3 We reserve the right to refuse to issue a refund/replacement product and to recover the cost of the return delivery from you in the event that the product is found to have suffered damage after delivery or has been misused or used other than in accordance with the instructions or if the problem is due to normal wear and tear. We do ask that damaged or faulty products are returned promptly.

8.4 Nothing in this section or elsewhere in these Terms and Conditions or in our returns policy affects your statutory legal rights.
