Ecommerce Terms and Conditions

1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 These Terms of Sale on Husqvarna e-Store (the "Terms") set out the specific terms and conditions applicable to the supply of products, including accessories and spare parts, ("Products") and/or services (“Services”) ordered by consumers ("You", "Your") from Husqvarna Direct AB, company number 559170-2609 with its registered office in Huskvarna, Sweden and with address c/o Husqvarna AB, Drottninggatan 2, 561 82 Huskvarna, Sweden ("Husqvarna", "We", "Us") via the Husqvarna e-Store https://www.husqvarna.com/uk/ (the "e-Store") for delivery in the United Kingdom. 

1.2 The e-Store is a site owned by Husqvarna.

1.3 You may only place orders in the e-Store if You act as a consumer, that is as a natural person who enters into a legal transaction for purposes that predominantly are outside Your trade, business or profession.

1.4 The Terms will apply to any contract for the sale of Products and/or the performance of Services by Husqvarna to You through the e-Store. You are encouraged to carefully read these Terms before You order Products and/or Services. By ticking the "I agree" box in the checkout process and subsequently submitting the order, You accept and agree to be bound by these Terms. These Terms are available in English. Please make sure that You have read and understood the Terms before placing Your order. Other terms and policies available on the e-Store, such as  the Cookie Policy https://www.husqvarna.com/uk/cookies/ are also applicable to Your use of the e-Store. Please refer to Husqvarna's Privacy Notice https://privacyportal.husqvarnagroup.com/uk/privacy-notice/ for information on the use of the personal data collected.

1.5 Husqvarna reserves the right to amend the Terms at any time by way of Husqvarna posting a new version on the e-Store. The Terms in force at the time You place your order will govern Your purchase of Products and/or Services. Thus, such change will only have effect on future orders of Products and/or Services that You will submit after the amended Terms being notified on the e-Store. Keep a copy of these Terms as Husqvarna will not store the text of the contract concluded with You. You will therefore not have access to the content of the contract.

1.6 By accepting these Terms You confirm that You are at least 18 years of age to form a binding contract with Husqvarna.

2. ORDERING PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

2.1 The Products and Services are ordered and the contract is concluded in accordance with the following process:

(a) The Products and Services including their specifications can be found at the Product and Services page(s) on the e-Store. The presentation of the Products and Services is in principle not a legally binding offer to conclude a contract on the purchase of product and/or the performance of Services, but a non-binding online catalogue. 

(b) After selecting the Product and/or Services and adding it to the cart, You will see an overview of the Products and Services of the cart. You will then proceed to the checkout where You can find a summary of the content of Your cart, shipping charges, any applicable discounts, the total price (including VAT). By clicking on the button “Continue to Delivery” You will be asked to provide information relating to You and Your order such as: name, address, e-mail address and phone number. You will also be asked to choose Your preferred delivery option. By clicking on the button “Continue to Payment” You will be asked to choose Your payment method and will be required to accept these Terms before being able to place Your order. You can optionally select the ticking box “I would like to receive newsletters” to opt-in for marketing. 

(c) Before placing Your order by clicking on the button "Order with Obligation to Pay", You will be given the opportunity to review your selection, check the total price and correct any errors.

(d) Once You place Your order You will receive an automatic acknowledgement of receipt by email detailing the Products and/or Services You have ordered (“Receipt Confirmation”). However, the Receipt Confirmation is not an acceptance of Your order by Husqvarna.

(e) Whilst Husqvarna endeavours to supply all ordered Products and Services, Husqvarna is free not to accept Your order for any reason, including where Products are out of stock. If a Product in Your order is not in stock at the time of placing Your order (including if the ordered quantity is only partially in stock), but is expected to come back in stock, Husqvarna will contact You as follows:

Husqvarna will decline Your order via email including an amended offer for the Products (i) in the available reduced quantity, or (ii) with an amended delivery date. If the order also includes the provision of Services and We or a subcontractor designated by Us can provide the Services as specified in the e-Store, the offer for the supply of Services remains unchanged. You may accept or reject the amended order by email (online-shop-uk@husqvarnagroup.com) within the deadline stated in the amended offer. If You reject or do not timely accept the options under section 2.1(f), Husqvarna will confirm the rejection of the entire order and refund any payment already made within 14 days to your original payment method.

2.2 The contract between You and Husqvarna will be formed at the time  You receive an email from Husqvarna confirming that Husqvarna has accepted Your order ("Order Acceptance") or if You accept Husqvarna's amended offer as set out in section 2.1(e). If You choose a payment method that causes an immediate debit of Your bank account (instant bank transfer or debit card), the contract is concluded upon debit of Your bank account or the receipt of the Order Acceptance, whichever comes earlier. The Order Acceptance will include the order number as well as all the contract details, these Terms and, if applicable, the terms of the Commercial Guarantee.

3. DELIVERY OF PRODUCTS AND SUPPLY OF SERVICES

3.1 Depending on which delivery option or options that are available in the checkout process, Husqvarna will arrange for delivery of the Products to You by using the delivery option selected by You in the checkout process. The Products will be delivered within the delivery timeframe indicated in the order process and confirmed in the Order Acceptance. You will receive an e-mail with information regarding the delivery when the order has been shipped. For home delivery, delivery will be carried out by Husqvarna's sub-contractors (e.g. dealers and/or transportation partners) and You may receive information about the delivery of the Products directly from such sub-contractors. For click and collect, Husqvarna will deliver the Products to the dealer store You selected. The dealer will contact You within the delivery timeframe indicated in the order process and confirmed in the Order Acceptance when the Products are ready for collection. If the Products ready for collection are not collected by You within three weeks of notification, Husqvarna or the dealer will send You a reminder with final deadline  for collection. If You do not collect within this period, Husqvarna is entitled to rescind the contract, return the Products to the e-Store and refund You within 14 days.

3.2 For orders relating to contracts for the sale of Products which include Services ancillary to the supply of Products (such as installation Services ordered simultaneously with the Products to be installed) as well as for orders relating to the supply of Services only, the following additional terms apply:

(a) The Services will be performed by Us or by any subcontractor designated by Us (including e.g. one of our dealers) with reasonable care and diligence as can be expected from a professional service provider in accordance with and subject to the specifications for the Services and any other requirements, limitations or qualifications in relation to the Services as communicated on our e-Store;

(b) We or our subcontractor will contact You to discuss the estimated date and time for the performance of the Services; and

(c) If you request additional services or products from the subcontractor that are not covered in the contract that We have concluded with you via the e-Store, the contract for such additional services or products will be a contract between You and the subcontractor and We shall not have any responsibility in relation to such contract.

3.3 If You do not accept the delivery of Products or supply of Services or if You are in breach of any other of Your obligations in these Terms, Husqvarna is entitled, without prejudice to its other rights, (i) to reasonably store the Products at Your risk and expense; or (ii) to rescind the contract in accordance with the statutory provisions.

4. PRICES, DELIVERY COSTS AND PAYMENT

4.1 The prices applicable to the ordered Products and Services are specified on the e-Store, as confirmed in the Order Acceptance. All prices on the e-Store are displayed in GBP, inclusive of VAT but exclusive of charges for shipping. These will be added to the price of the Products and Services and itemised in the order process and Order Acceptance.

4.2 Although Husqvarna tries to ensure that all prices on the e-Store are accurate, errors may occur (e.g. for technical reasons, such as network failures, errors in transmission, etc.). If Husqvarna  discovers the error in the price of the Products and/or Services You have ordered before it has issued the Order Acceptance, Husqvarna will (i) reject the order and notify You of such rejection or avoidance or (ii) give You the option of confirming Your order at the correct price.

4.3 If the rate of VAT changes between Your order date and the date Husqvarna supplies the Products and / or Services, Husqvarna will adjust the rate of VAT that You pay, unless You have already paid in full before the change in the rate of VAT takes effect.

4.4 Husqvarna reserves the right to change the Products and/or the prices for services at any time and without notice, but such changes will not apply to Products and Services for which a contract has already been concluded.

4.5 Available payment methods are presented for Your selection on the e-Store at the beginning of the order process. Adyen N.V. ("Adyen"), a company registered with the Dutch Chamber of Commerce under number 34259528 and based at Simon Carmiggeltstraat 6-50, 1011 DJ in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, handles the transactions through secure encryption and according to strict banking standards.
