When we refer to “you” and “your” we mean the user of the Website and the purchaser of the Goods.

Separate Notices and Disclaimers apply to your use of the Website. By accepting these terms and conditions you also agree to the Notices and Disclaimers.

We try to make sure that all information on the Website, including description of our Goods and listed prices, are accurate and correct at all times. However, mistakes do happen. We will try to resolve all information errors on the Website as soon as possible, and if we reasonably think that such an error has affected your purchase of Goods we will try to let you know.

All sizes and measurements are approximate.

All Goods are subject to availability and we may not be able to supply your order.

Any delivery estimates given by email or telephone are estimates only.

The Goods which are offered on the Website may not be available in store and vice versa.

You are responsible for ensuring that your login details, password and all other details in relation to your account remain confidential at all times.

PART 2 - Buying Goods

This part sets out some terms which apply to your purchase of Goods from us through the Website.

You make an offer to purchase a product from us (your “Order”) by completing the staged process on the Website as set out below.

Adding product to your shopping basket
Checkout step 1 - Login details
Checkout step 2 - Address details
Checkout step 3 - Payment details
Confirmation of Order

Your Order only constitutes an offer to purchase Goods from us and does not form a binding contract until accepted by us. Where you order more than one product your Order contains a series of offers for each product individually.

On receipt of your Order, we will send you an automated Order acknowledgment email to the email address which you provide in the Order process. This automated Order acknowledgment email will contain your Order number and details of the Goods ordered. Note that this email is only to acknowledge that your Order has been received, and is not acceptance by us of any offers to purchase Goods.

We must receive full payment of the price of the Goods before we can accept any offers. Where you select to pay by credit or debit card we will process the payment at the time of preparing your Goods for dispatch.

An offer made by you to purchase a product shall only be deemed to be accepted by us when we dispatch that product contained in your Order to you. We reserve the right to refuse any offers in an Order prior to acceptance. If a product is not available we will contact you either by telephone or by email. A product which is not available will not be included in the contract for a product which is dispatched.

We aim to dispatch any Orders received from the Website before 3.00pm on the same day where the product is available. In cases where the product is not in stock we will notify you by email or telephone to confirm expected delivery times. We aim to deliver products not in stock at the time of ordering within 7-14 days. All Goods ordered will be delivered to the cardholder’s registered address only without exception, and we reserve the right to refuse any Order which does not comply with this rule.

Please note that we use either a nationwide courier or Royal Mail to deliver our Website Orders. Our courier company provides our Next Day Delivery Service and Next Day by Noon Delivery Service. The Next Day Delivery Service and Next Day Delivery by Noon Service are dealt with at Part 6 below. All other Orders are delivered using Royal Mail which usually takes 1-3 days to deliver (small items are send 1st Class post and larger items Standard Parcel post). We do not dispatch items on Public holidays or Bank holidays and our couriers do not deliver on such days as they are not considered “working days” by our courier company.

Deliveries to non-mainland addresses i.e. The Scottish highlands, Northern Island or for any other UK island (excluding Isle of Wight) premium services may not be available and higher postage costs may occur. There may also be a greater lead time for non-mainland deliveries.

Please note that the courier company is instructed not to leave a parcel without a signature or receipt. They cannot leave goods at any address without this signature, even if you request this in your delivery order notes.

EU and International Deliveries are sent via our Courier Company and the estimated delivery time will be given on request.

All prices and charges on the Website are in UK Pound Sterling. Delivery charges may apply and these will be displayed in the ordering process.

All prices are, unless otherwise stated, inclusive of VAT. Our VAT number is GB 697 2348 88.

PART 3 - Returning Goods

Under the UK Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations 2000, you have the right to a cooling off period of fourteen working days from the day after the day you receive the Goods in which you can cancel the contract for the purchase of any Goods from this Website. A full refund will be made to you including the original delivery charges but excluding any delivery charges that you incur for the return of the Goods to us. The Goods must be complete and in the original boxes and packaging and free from any scratches or marks. Any free items must also be returned and media items such as DVDs and videos should remain in the original packaging. We reserve the right to reduce the refund value if the returned Goods have to be reduced for resale owing to missing or defective packaging. No returns will be refunded unless you provide proof of purchase.

PART 4 - Liability for Defective Goods

We are prepared to replace free of charge or offer a full refund for any Goods which are proved to be of defective manufacture or materials at the time of their purchase. Most items except consumables (i.e. Sticks and Drum Skins) are guaranteed for 12-24 months and we will act on your behalf with the manufacturer and whenever possible provide you with a loan item free of charge. We will not be liable to you for any loss of profits, administrative inconvenience, disappointment, delay, indirect or consequential loss (apart from any loss within the reasonable contemplation of the parties at the time of the contract) or damage arising out of any problem in relation to the Goods. Our overall liability in connection with defective Goods purchased from the Website will be limited to the value of the full refund for the defective Goods that we make under these terms and conditions.

Please ensure you thoroughly check your Goods before signing for them. If your Goods have been damaged in transit please sign for them as DAMAGED and contact us immediately on 020 7228 1000 or email sales@drumshack.co.uk.

This Part 4 does not affect your statutory rights as a consumer, nor is it intended to exclude our liability for fraudulent misrepresentation or for death or personal injury resulting from our negligence.

PART 5 - General terms relating to our relationship with you

This Part 5 sets out some general terms that govern our relationship with you and purchases by you.

We will not be responsible for the performance of any obligations under these terms and conditions in the case of an event outside our reasonable control (force majeure), including (but not limited to) strikes, lockouts, failures of third party systems and networks, acts of god, fire, earthquakes, storm, flood or other natural disaster, civil unrest, acts of terrorism, deliberate sabotage of or malicious damage to or destruction of premises or equipment.

These terms and conditions set out the entire agreement between you and us in respect of the sale, purchase and use of the Goods. They supersede any previous agreement or understanding in relation to the subject matter hereof. They may only be varied where separately agreed in writing between you and us.

If any provision of these terms and conditions is held by any competent authority to be invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part, the validity of the other provisions (and the remainder of the provision in question) shall be unaffected.

Save to the extent that you exercise your right as a consumer to bring an action in or rely on the law of your country of domicile, the interpretation, construction, effect and enforceability of these terms and conditions shall be governed by English Law, and you and we agree to submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of English courts for the determination of disputes.
