2. Availability

If for any other reason beyond our reasonable control we are unable to supply a particular item, an alternative product may be offered or you will not be charged/refunded for that product, and we will not be liable for any additional costs that may be incurred.

Some items are only available to purchasers above a certain age.

3. Bulk buy policy

To ensure availability of all our products, customers may be limited to a maximum number of items.

4. Payment and acceptance

Payment can be made using a credit or debit card. We are able to accept most major credit and debit cards, and we reserve the right to vary these from time to time without notice.

If you purchase a product from whitemotive.com on the phone or online you will be charged for that product at the time of ordering.

Orders to businesses and business addresses will be deamed as Busines to Business transactions and as such the Distance Selling Regulations do not apply.

Orders collected from one of our stores or warehouses provide you with the ability to inspect the goods and as such the Distance Selling Regulations do not apply.

5. Delivery

Delivery will be made to the address specified when you complete the order.

Please note we only deliver to addresses within England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Delivery outside of these countries can be made but please contact us first to make sure it is possible and to confirm costs. Import/Customs charges on items exported outside of the UK are not paid by White Motive. Please make sure you check your liability for import/customs charges before ordering as you will be liable to pay them.

We use a variety of delivery methods, depending on the size of the item you order and the speed with which you wish to receive it. Some items are delivered directly by the supplier and the supplier will contact you to arrange delivery.

We aim to deliver the majority of items that we have in stock within 2-3 working days for most UK Mainland postcodes, and within 7-10 working days for items we have to order in from a manufacturer. On certain items there is a longer lead time which is up to 20 days unless other time period is specified. For orders that are delivered direct to you by our suppliers, after placing your order they will contact you to arrange a delivery date that is convenient to you.

A signature may sometimes be required at delivery. By placing an order you are authorising us to accept a signature from an adult at the delivery address or neighbouring property on your behalf should you not be available at the time of delivery.

For some products that do not require a signature at delivery you may be able to give instructions explaining if and where you would like the product to be left if no one is present at the time of delivery, such as with a neighbour.

Ownership of a product will not pass to you until we have delivered the product to you (either directly, or by leaving it in a safe place or with a neighbour or where you have signed for it when using the In Store Collection option). This is when the Contract between you and us will be deemed to have concluded. Once a product is delivered, responsibility for risk of damage to or loss of the product passes to you.

We also use third party delivery companies which may, at their discretion, leave a product in a safe place if no one is present at the time of delivery. In these circumstances the delivery company will put a card through your letter box explaining where the product has been left.

By signing for items delivered by a courier you are confirming receipt of the items in good condition and as such will be unable to claim for any damages. If you are unable to check your items before signing ensure you sign for the goods stating ‘Unchecked’.

All Shortages or Damages must be reported by emailing help(at)whitemotive.com within 3 days of delivery.

Subject to the other provisions of these conditions we shall not be liable for any direct, indirect or consequential loss (all three of which terms include, without limitation, pure economic loss, loss of profits, loss of business, depletion of goodwill and similar loss), costs, damages, charges or expenses caused directly or indirectly by any delay in the delivery of the products.

We shall have no further liability under the Contract if, for any reason, you fail to accept delivery of any of the products when they are ready for delivery, or we are unable to deliver your order on time due to health and safety risks and or circumstances beyond our reasonable control.
