Service Availability

Our site is intended for use by Consumers resident in the United Kingdom.
If you use our site from other jurisdictions, please note that you may be
liable to pay additional shipping costs and import duties. All Products
listed on the site are lawfully for sale in the United Kingdom but you should
check on the legality of Products in which you are interested in your own
jurisdiction before you order them. Please see clause 12 below for more
on this.
3.

By placing an order through our site, you warrant that:
a.
you are legally capable of entering into binding contracts;
b.
you are at least 18 years old; and
c.
you are purchasing Products for private and domestic use and not for resale in
the course of a business.
2.

.
provide us with all the information that we require, such as your full name,
phone number, email address, billing and delivery addresses and any other
information that we way request from time to time.

4.
How the Contract Between Us Is Formed
1.
After placing an order, you will receive an email from us acknowledging that we
have received your order (the Order Receipt). 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 email that
confirms that the Product has been dispatched (the Dispatch
Confirmation). The contract between us (the Contract) will only be formed
when we send you the Dispatch Confirmation. You may withdraw your order
at any time up to the moment when we send you the Dispatch Confirmation by
contacting us by email at hello@mistaudio.co.uk.
2.
The Contract will relate only to those Products whose dispatch we have
confirmed in the Dispatch Confirmation. We will not be obliged to supply
any other Products that may have been part of your order until the dispatch of
such Products has been confirmed in a separate Dispatch Confirmation.
3.
In the event that prior to the Dispatch Confirmation, we find that we are
unable to satisfy your order for any reason (such as falling levels of stock)
we will attempt to make contact with you in order to offer you any available
alternatives.
4.
We do try to make sure that all information on the site is correct all the time
but sometimes mistakes are made. In the event of clear error please see
clause 9 below, but note for now that we reserve the right to cancel your order
even after sending you the Dispatch Confirmation, right the way up to the point
at which you accept delivery.
5.
Where we have the Products in stock, we will take payment from you
immediately. However, from time to time we may provide you with the
opportunity to place an advance order on Products that we have yet to receive
into stock. In these circumstances, we may offer you the chance to pay a
deposit in order to secure your order. Once we receive the Product in
question, we will check it for quality purposes and if we are satisfied, we
will take the balance due and issue the Dispatch Confirmation.
6.
Products displayed on the site are shown in full colour, but computer monitors
and screens vary so we cannot guarantee that the colour you see on screen will
exactly match the colour of the Product in question.
5.
Our Status
We
may provide links on our site to the websites of other companies, whether
affiliated with us or not. We cannot and do not promise that products you
purchase from third party companies to whose websites we link will be of
satisfactory quality and any such warranties are DISCLAIMED by us
absolutely. This DISCLAIMER does not affect your statutory rights against
the third party seller in question.
6.
Consumer Rights
1. Since you are
contracting as a consumer (and only to the extent that you are contracting as a
consumer), you have the right to change your mind about an item within 14 days,
beginning on the day after you received the Products or, if you receive the
Products in a number of deliveries, the date you receive the last
delivery. Please
note, this right does not extend to perishable items or items that are
customised to your order, such as bespoke sizing or bespoke designs.
When returning non-perishable, non-customised products within this 14 day
period, you will receive a full refund of the price of the Products and the
delivery charges that you’ve paid in accordance with our refunds policy (set
out in clause 10 below).
2.
Where you have the right to do so and you wish to cancel a Contract, you must
inform us in writing, which you can do as directed in our Deliveries and
Returns Policy. If the Products have been delivered to you, you must return the
Products to us immediately at your own cost and risk and they must be in the
same condition in which you received them together with their original
packaging. You have a legal obligation to take reasonable care of the
Products while they are in your possession. If you fail to comply with this
obligation, we may have a right of action against you for compensation or we
may refuse to accept them. For more information, including more help on
how to exercise your right to cancel within 14 days, please see our Delivery
and
Returns policy.
3.
Details of this statutory right, and an explanation of how to exercise it, are
provided in the Dispatch Confirmation. This provision does not affect
your statutory rights.
7.
Availability and Delivery
1.
Your order will be fulfilled by the delivery date set out in the Dispatch
Confirmation or, if no delivery date is specified, then within a reasonable
time of the date of the Dispatch Confirmation, unless there are exceptional
circumstances. For more information, please see our Delivery &
Returns Policy.
2.
Faulty Products will be exchanged or refunded within 30 days of purchase but
only where we are satisfied, on inspection, that the Product in question is
faulty and that the fault has not arisen out of normal wear and tear.
Damaged
or soiled Products will not be accepted as returns under any circumstances.
3.
We will refund shipping costs where the cause of the return is our fault, e.g.
the Product is faulty or is not what you ordered. If you do not make use of our
Delivery & Returns Policy when returning purchases to us, you will have to
pay for the shipping of the Products yourself, though we are happy to accept
returns that comply with these Terms and our Delivery & Returns Policy
however they get to us.
8.
Risk and Title
1.
The Products will be at your risk from the precise time you sign for delivery
or someone else does this on your behalf.
2.
Ownership of the Products will only pass to you when we receive full payment of
all sums due in respect of the Products, including delivery charges, or at the
precise time you sign for delivery (or someone else does this on your behalf),
whichever is the later.
9.
Price and Payment
1.
Prices quoted on the Site include VAT but exclude delivery costs, which will be
added to the total amount due as set out in our Delivery & Returns
Policy.
2.
Prices are liable to change at any time, but changes will not affect orders in
respect of which we have already sent you a Dispatch Confirmation.
3.
The Site contains a large 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 a Product's correct price is less than our
stated price, we will charge the lower amount when dispatching the Product to
you or, if this information comes to light after we have taken payment, we will
refund the difference to the card that you have used for payment. 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.
4.
We are under no obligation to provide the Product to you at the incorrect
(lower) price, even after we have sent you a Dispatch Confirmation, if the
pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could have reasonably been
recognised by you as a mis-pricing.
5.
Payment for all Products may be made by credit or debit card through the site.
Your credit or debit card will be charged immediately. In the event of
payment by cheque or postal order, your order will be prepared immediately and
held at our warehouse pending clearance of the payment.
10.
Our Refunds Policy
1.
When you return a Product to us:
a.
because you have cancelled the Contract between us within the 14 day
cooling-off period in relation to a non-perishable item (see clause 6.1 above),
we will process the refund due to you 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, including the delivery
cost of sending the item to you; or
b.
for any other reason (for instance, because you have notified us in accordance
with clause 20 that you do not agree to any change in these terms and
conditions or in any of our policies, or because you claim that the Product is
defective), we will examine the returned Product and will notify you of your
refund via email within a reasonable period of time. We will process the
refund due to you as soon as possible and, in any case, usually within
30 days of the day we confirmed to you via email that you were entitled to
a refund for the defective Product. Products returned by you because of a
defect will be refunded in full, including a refund of the delivery charges for
sending the item to you and the cost incurred by you in returning the item to
us.
2.
We will refund any money received from you using the same method originally
used by you to pay for your purchase.

Import Duty
1.
If you order Products from our Site for delivery outside the UK, they may be
subject to import duties and taxes which are levied when the delivery reaches
the specified destination. You will be responsible for payment of any
such import duties and taxes. Please note that we have no control over
these charges and cannot predict their amount. Please contact the local
customs office in the jurisdiction within which delivery is to take place for
further information before placing your order.
2.
The Products comply with all applicable laws and regulations in the UK.
However, in using the Products you must comply with all applicable laws and
regulations of the country for which the Products are destined and it is your
responsibility to make yourself aware of such laws and regulations. We
will not be liable for any breach by you of any such laws.

Written Communications
The
law requires that some of the information or communications we send to you
should be in writing. This will be mainly electronic in nature (email,
SMS, other messaging services, notifications to your account accessible via the
Site). For contractual purposes, you agree to this electronic means of
communication and you acknowledge that all contracts, notices, information and
other communications that we provide to you electronically comply with any
legal requirement that such communications be in writing. This condition
does not affect your statutory rights.

All notices given by you to us must
be addressed to Mist Audio and must be delivered to hello@mistaudio.co.uk or
Mist Audio, Biscuit Tin Studios, Warwick Street, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE2
1BB. We will send notices to you at either the email or postal address
you provide to us when placing your order or via any of the services specified
in clause 13 above. Notices will be deemed received and properly served
immediately when posted on our website, 24 hours after an email or other
electronic message is sent, or three days after the date of posting of any
letter. In proving the service of any notice, it will be sufficient to
prove, in the case of a letter, that such letter was properly addressed,
stamped and placed in the post and, in the case of an email, that such email
was sent to the specified email address of the addressee.

for performance for the duration of that period. We will do what we can
within reason to bring the Force Majeure Event to a close or to find a solution
by which our obligations under the Contract may be performed despite the Force
Majeure Event.

Waiver
1.
If we fail, at any time during the term of a Contract, to insist upon strict
performance of any of your obligations under the Contract or any of these terms
and conditions, or if we fail to exercise any of the rights or remedies to
which
we are entitled under the Contract, this shall not constitute a waiver of such
rights or remedies and shall not relieve you from compliance with such
obligations.
2.
A waiver by us of any default shall not constitute a waiver of any subsequent
default.

No waiver by us of any of these terms and conditions shall be effective unless
it is expressly stated to be a waiver and is communicated to you in writing in
accordance with clause 14 above.
18.
Severability

any of these terms and Conditions or any provisions of the 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

valid to the fullest extent permitted by law.

represent the entire agreement between us in relation to the subject matter of
any Contract and supersede any prior agreement, understanding or arrangement
between us, whether oral or in writing.
2.
We (that is, you and us) each acknowledge that, in entering into a Contract,
neither of us has relied upon any representation, undertaking or promise given
by the other or be implied from anything said or written in negotiations

conditions nor shall either of us be entitled to do so unless such a statement
was made fraudulently.

referred to in them in relation to the subject matter of any Contract. While we

authorised

conditions to be confirmed in writing.

Our Right to Vary These Terms and Conditions
1.
We have the right to revise and amend these terms and conditions from time to
time to reflect (without limitation) changes in market conditions affecting our

relevant
laws and regulatory requirements and changes in our system's
capabilities.

You will be subject to the policies and terms and conditions in force at the
time that you order products from us, unless any change to those policies or
these terms and conditions is required to be made by law or governmental
authority (in which case it will apply to orders previously placed by you), or
if we notify you of the change to those policies or these terms and conditions
before we send you the Dispatch Confirmation (in which case we have the right
to assume that you have accepted the change to the terms and conditions, unless
you notify us to the contrary within seven working days of receipt by you
of the Products).
