Terms & Conditions

These General Terms and Conditions apply to every order placed with North Sports Group and the use of the northsports.co.uk website.

We're passionate about our customers and making sure that you're happy and so the following sets out the terms and conditions that apply to your order in what we hope is a straight-forward and customer friendly way.

Our Contract with you

When you place an order, you are offering to buy the product(s) from us and we will send you an order acknowledgement. However, your order will only be accepted by us once your product(s) have been delivered to you. Until then we can decline to supply the goods – we will try to ensure that this never happens but we do, however, reserve the right not to fulfil your order for any reason if, for example, we have made an error on the price or similar or we simply can't get hold of the model you need. In such circumstances we’ll refund the price you’ve paid to us. We reserve the right not to accept an order for any reason and we won’t be liable to you or anyone else in these circumstances.

Availability

We display our availability on the website and when you can have an item delivered. Where we display the earliest available delivery day prior to the checkout, postcode restrictions may apply. For the most accurate delivery date to your home, you can enter your postcode when you’re in the checkout.

We deliver a lot of products a week and so we have to rely on a computer system for our stock control. Even computers occasionally get it wrong. If we get this wrong we will tell you as soon as we know and we will try to sort it out for you.

Website Information

We try to specify accurate dimensions for every product listed on our website. However, please be aware that the product dimensions do not include any protruding features such as controls and handles etc and product dimensions represent the casing of the product only. Whilst we try to be as accurate as possible, all sizes, weights and measurements quoted on the website are approximate only. Similarly, we've made every effort to display all product colours accurately. However we can't guarantee that the image displayed on a monitor or screen will accurately reflect the true colour of the product delivered to you. Please also be aware that colours may differ between manufacturers. Whilst every effort has been made to ensure that product specifications are correct on the website, due to continual product development through research & design, specifications may change without notice.

Customer Reviews

Any customer reviews of the products we sell are the opinions of customers and do not form part of the specification or description of the product. We shall not be liable if any of the information contained in a customer review proves inaccurate.

You acknowledge and agree that:

The copyright in the photos, videos, data and text used on our website belongs to us or our suppliers and the general look and feel and format of our website belongs to us. You are permitted to use this material only as expressly authorised by us or our suppliers.

We are entitled to change or amend our website without giving you notice (but the terms and conditions applicable when you placed your order will continue to apply to those products).

Prices

All the product prices we display include VAT and include delivery but do not cover any re-delivery charges, these will be supplied to the customer in the scenario of failed deliveries. 

From time to time we may offer products at sale or promotional prices. Any such offers will apply to selected products and be subject to availability. Delivery charges, conditions and geographical exclusions may apply. Please refer to individual product information for pricing. This is subject to availability and can be withdrawn at North Sports discretion. For example, a promotion offering Free Next Day delivery is only valid whilst we have the capacity to offer Next Day Delivery. Some of our products are not held in stock in our warehouse, and are held by our partners or ordered from manufacturers. These products may not be eligible for any delivery promotions. You’ll be able to see the next available delivery date on each product page on our website.

Instant Price Beater

Our 'Instand Price Beater' service is for the benefit of consumers – we try to match the price of products available for immediate online purchase from our competitors’ websites, subject to certain conditions. Please note, occasionally there is prices we cannot reach and we will provide you with information at the earliest.

Payment

You won't be surprised to learn that you can pay with more or less any type of credit/debit card. This includes Maestro, Delta, MasterCard, American Express or Visa card and we do all we can to ensure your details are secure. We also accept PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay and Klarna on online orders, and this doesn't cost you any extra. If there are any problems with receiving payment we'll let you know.

Discount Codes

From time to time we’ll offer discount codes on selected products. Discount codes will be available for limited time. They’re also subject to availability and can be withdrawn at any time. Discount codes can't be used in conjunction with our Instant Price Beater. Discount codes can only be redeemed on northsports.co.uk and you can only use one discount code per order. If you’re returning part of an order that’s had a discount code applied, your refund will be for the full amount minus the discount applied.

Unique Discount Codes

Unique codes are a little different from our normal discount codes but everything mentioned above still applies. Your unique discount code has been generated especially for you and can only be used once. When you’re ready to redeem your offer, simply copy and paste it into the discount code box. You’ll find this on the basket page when placing your order. This code can only be redeemed online, and isn’t valid for orders placed over the phone.

We sometimes offer personalised incentives too. Just like unique discount codes, these are given to individual customers and run for a limited amount of time. They’re based on your previous visits to northsports.co.uk, your shopping habits, and the deals currently available, so we can offer you the discounts you really want.

Delivery

We offer UK delivery. Once you have made a purchased you will be contacted to book a suitable delivery date of choice (Mon-Fri) if the goods are in stock. If the goods are not in stock you will be provided with a lead time.

Your delivery will normally be made through our distributor's own courier service. Deliveries are Monday-Friday and the courier might be able to deliver on Saturday's for an additional cost. Our ordering team will always request the courier contacts you on the day of delivery to advise they're on route but please note the driver contacting you is not guaranteed and we only request that this happens.

Next Day delivery is subject to availability. Delivery time slots will be on an all day service allocated by the selected courier (usually 9AM-5PM). Availability may change throughout the day/week as slots are being booked-up.

Some geographical restrictions may apply. We may not be able to deliver if you’re in the Scottish Highlands or in more remote parts of Scotland.

Unfortunately we’re not currently able to offer deliveries to the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man or the Republic of Ireland.

It's your responsibility to make sure someone is available to accept your delivery. We reserve the right to charge for re-delivery if our driver arrives within the estimated 4-hour time-slot we’ve given you but nobody is in. If you choose to cancel your order instead then we’ll refund you the price of your product.

The products we deliver are often big and heavy items to lift, so there will be certain occasions when we may be unable to get it into your property. Lots of steps, narrow corridors, radiators and restricted parking, gravel driveways are all things that may hinder our ability to deliver; it is your responsibility to ensure access to your property. In situations where we cannot gain access, we may be able to offer delivery to the nearest point possible e.g. your garage or a kerbside delivery so you can make arrangements to get the product in.

If we believe successful re-delivery is viable when you have taken the necessary measures, we will attempt another delivery however we reserve the right to charge for re-delivery in these circumstances. We also reserve the right not to re-attempt delivery; in which case we will always refund you the price of your product.

Delivery Limitations

Occasionally something will happen out of our control that closes roads, like floods snow or other adverse weather conditions or things like, sporting events which result in closed roads. We need to be notified at least 48 hours in advance of any difficulties or restrictions getting to your property so we can advise the courier in advance of delivery. If you’ve already selected your delivery date and you’re affected, we’ll contact you as soon as possible to arrange alternative delivery options. We will do what we can, but can’t be held liable if we can’t fulfil delivery due to reasons beyond our control.

Unfortunately, on the rare occasions where a delivery is unsuccessful, we’re not liable for costs incurred.

Track Your Order

Track Your Order will need to be through contacting our customer service team via email sales@northsports.co.uk we will then contact the distributor/courier for further information and revert to you at the earliest with the updated tracking information.

Next Day Delivery

If you place an order for next-day delivery it is very unlikely that you’ll be able to successfully cancel it before the delivery takes place. Instead, you’ll either need to refuse the delivery when it turns up (and the product will be sent back to us) or to accept delivery and then contact us to arrange a return (as described above).

Things Beyond Our Control

We will not be liable or responsible for any failure to perform, or delay in performance of, any of our obligations under these terms that is caused by events outside our reasonable control. Such events include any act, non-occurrence, omission or accident beyond our reasonable control and includes, in particular (without limitation), the following:

Strikes, lock-outs or other industrial action; or civil commotion, riot, invasion, terrorist attack or threat of terrorist attack, war (whether declared or not) or threat or preparation for war; or

Fire, explosion, storm, flood, earthquake, subsidence, epidemic, pandemic or other natural disaster or adverse weather; or

Impossibility of the use of railways, shipping, aircraft, motor transport or other means of public or private transport; or

Impossibility of the use of public or private telecommunications networks

Our obligations under these terms are suspended for the period that such event continues and we will have an extension of time to perform these obligations for the duration of that period. We will take reasonable steps to bring the event to a close or to find a solution by which our obligations under these terms can be performed despite the event.

Cancellations, Returns & Refunds

To cancel an order please email returns@northsports.co.uk 

Please note, some products are made to order and cannot be cancelled once purchased. These products will have information on the product pages to advise they're made to order and cannot be cancelled.

If you've changed your mind about keeping your purchase please email returns@northsports.co.uk, within 30 days ensuring you quote your order number and the date you received your goods. This is longer than outlined in your statutory rights, which gives you a 14-day cooling-off period for distance (e.g. online) sales.

You must confirm that the goods are in their original packaging, unused in any way and that we are able to inspect the goods before signing for them. Failure to do this will result in no return number or returns address being issued. Items returned to us must be sent by recorded delivery. We regret that we are currently unable to participate in the UK VAT Retail Export Scheme. All spare parts are non-returnable due to being a special order.

We will repair or replace (for free) any item found defective or damaged before delivery or during unloading. This is in addition to your manufacturer's guarantee. We cannot accept the return of products which are damaged after delivery.

If you return your product to us unused in its complete original packaging and we’re therefore able to resell it ‘as new’, you’ll receive a refund of the full price of the product. We’re happy for you to unpack the product to inspect it, in the same way you’d be able to take a look at it in a shop, but please be very careful until you’re sure you’re going to keep it. If you’ve used the product, handled it beyond what’s reasonably necessary to inspect it we may not be able to sell it to someone else ‘as new’. This means that where the value of the product is reduced by actions you’ve taken, we may only make a partial refund, if any, or charge you for the reduction in value.

Refunds will be made within 14 days of returned goods.

If you cancel an order within your 14-day statutory cooling-off period we’ll also refund you any standard delivery charge you originally paid.

Some additional things you need to know about cancellations, returns and exchanges:

If Products are Faulty

If you’re reading this section, we’re sorry. We work closely with our manufacturers to sell quality equipment, but sometimes things do go wrong. Here’s how we’ll fix it..

It’s important to us to offer products that are fit for purpose, but for your added assurance, it’s also our legal responsibility. The Consumer Rights Act 2015 states that, as a customer, you have a legal right to either a refund, repair or replacement for products that are confirmed as faulty.

The solutions below are based on the timelines outlined in the Consumer Rights Act 2015 for products purchased from 1st October 2015 onwards, and those outlined in the Sale of Goods Act for those bought before this date.

Sometimes issues that appear to be faults could be problems that arise during installation or setup. If that’s the case, we’ll do our best to get this fixed for you over email. This is also why we ask that faults are confirmed with the manufacturer. This way, we’re able to make sure there’s not another reason for the problem.

1. If a fault is confirmed within 30 days of delivery, just let us know.

2. If a fault is confirmed after 30 days of delivery (but within 6 months of owning it), just let us know and we will request the manufacturer to look for a solution, this may include a repair.

Things Beyond Our Control

We will not be liable or responsible for any failure to perform, or delay in performance of, any of our obligations under these terms that is caused by events outside our reasonable control. Such events include any act, non-occurrence, omission or accident beyond our reasonable control and includes, in particular (without limitation), the following:

Strikes, lock-outs or other industrial action; or civil commotion, riot, invasion, terrorist attack or threat of terrorist attack, war (whether declared or not) or threat or preparation for war; or

Fire, explosion, storm, flood, earthquake, subsidence, epidemic, pandemic or other natural disaster or adverse weather; or

Impossibility of the use of railways, shipping, aircraft, motor transport or other means of public or private transport; or

Impossibility of the use of public or private telecommunications networks

Our obligations under these terms are suspended for the period that such event continues and we will have an extension of time to perform these obligations for the duration of that period. We will take reasonable steps to bring the event to a close or to find a solution by which our obligations under these terms can be performed despite the event.
