Overview

This page (together with the documents referred to on it) sets out the terms and conditions on which we supply any of the products ("Products") listed on our website www.talkhome.co.uk(the "site") to you. Please read these terms and conditions carefully before ordering any Products from our site. You should understand that by ordering any of our Products, you agree to be bound by these terms and conditions.

Information about us

The site is operated by Nowtel Distribution Limited ("we", "us" or “our”). We are registered in England and Wales under company number 07408558 and we have our registered office and main trading address at Anchor Brewhouse 2nd Floor, 50 Shad Thames, London SE1 2LY. Our VAT number is 101 274 075.

Your status

By placing an order through our site, you warrant that you are legally capable of entering into binding contracts.

How the contract is formed between you and us

After placing an order and making the associated payment, you will receive an e-mail from us acknowledging that we have received your order and payment (subject to our receiving that payment). Please note that this does not mean that your order has been accepted. Your order constitutes an offer to us to buy a Product. All orders are subject to acceptance by us, and we will confirm such acceptance to you by sending you an e-mail dispatching the Product (the "Delivery Email"). The contract between us and you ("Contract") will only be formed when we send you the Delivery Email.

For clarity, where you purchase credit for a rechargeable card you are purchasing a Product in the amount of that credit.

The Contract will relate only to those Products delivered to you in the Delivery Email. We will not be obliged to supply any other Products which may have been part of your order until they are delivered to you in a separate Delivery Email.

The Products enable you to access telecommunications services provided by a third party (“Services”). The supply of such Services, and your use of them, will be governed by the terms and conditions applicable to the provider of such services (copies of the most recent versions supplied to us by that third party are available on the site and although we make all efforts to ensure that they are up to date we do not control those terms and conditions and accordingly we make no representation as to their currency or validity as at the time you view them and disclaim all liability in respect of any errors or omissions in the versions posted on our site).

Consumer rights

If you are contracting as a consumer (i.e., otherwise than in the course of your business or trade), you may cancel a Contract at any time within fourteen working days, beginning on the day after you receive the Products. In this case, you will receive a full refund of the price paid for the Products in accordance with our refunds policy (set out in clause 8 below). To cancel a Contract, you must inform us in writing.

For the avoidance of doubt, where the Product enables you to access Services and where you use it to access such Services it may not be cancelled and it may not be returned even if you have only used it once.

This provision does not affect your statutory rights.

Availability and delivery

Upon order, your Talk Home calling card is delivered instantly to you via email. In the event that your calling card is not delivered instantly, please contact support at cs-cards@talkhome.co.uk.

Risk and title

The Products will be at your risk from the time of delivery.

Ownership of the Products will pass to you on the later of (i) delivery; or (ii) when we receive full payment of all sums due in respect of the Products, including delivery charges (if any).

Price and payment

The price of any Products will be as quoted on our site from time to time, except in cases of obvious error.

These prices include VAT but exclude delivery costs (if any) which will be added to the total amount due.

Prices are liable to change at any time, but changes will not affect orders in respect of which we have already sent you a Delivery Email.

Our site contains a number of Products and it is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the Products listed on our site may be incorrectly priced. We will normally verify prices as part of our dispatch procedures so that, where aProduct's correct price is less than our stated price, we will charge the lower amount when dispatching the Product to you. If a Product’s correct price is higher than the price stated on our site, we will normally, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before dispatching the Product, or reject your order and notify you of such rejection.

We are under no obligation to provide the Product to you at the incorrect (lower) price, even after we have sent you a Delivery Email, if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as a mis-pricing

Payment for all Products must be by credit or debit card. We accept payments using those methods as are set out on our site from time to time.

Our refunds policy

When you return a Product to us because you have cancelled the Contract between us within the fourteen-day cooling-off period (see clause 4.1 above), we will process the refund due to you, if applicable, as soon as possible and, in any case, within 30 days of the day you have given notice of your cancellation. In this case, we will refund the price of the Product in full.

We will usually refund any money received from you using the same method originally used by you to pay for your purchase.

Our liability

We exclude all liability to you in relation to your use of, the Services and their supply by a third party.

Our liability for losses you suffer as a result of us breaking this agreement is strictly limited to the purchase price of the Product you purchased.

Severability

If any of these terms and conditions or any provisions of a Contract are determined by any competent authority to be invalid, unlawful or unenforceable to any extent, such term, condition or provision will to that extent be severed from the remaining terms, conditions and provisions which will continue to be valid to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Entire agreement

These terms and conditions and any document expressly referred to in them constitute the whole agreement between us and supersede any previous arrangement, understanding or agreement between us, relating to the subject matter of any Contract.
