Please read this document carefully as it affects your rights and liabilities under the law and sets out the terms under which Lawpack Publishing Limited (Lawpack) provides any products or services made available through Lawpack.co.uk.

1. Use of Lawpack.co.uk

Lawpack.co.uk is operated and maintained by Lawpack. Unless otherwise stated, all products and services made available through the Lawpack.co.uk are provided by Lawpack. Registration is not required, but by placing an order you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions.

Specific services made available through Lawpack.co.uk (such as the will storage service) may be subject to additional terms and conditions, which will apply concurrently to these Terms and Conditions.

2. Amendments

Lawpack may update these Terms and Conditions from time to time and any changes will be notified to you via the e-mail address provided by you when you placed your order or via a suitable announcement on Lawpack.co.uk. The changes will apply to the use of Lawpack.co.uk after Lawpack has given notice. If you do not wish to accept the new Terms and Conditions you should not continue to use Lawpack.co.uk. If you continue to use Lawpack.co.uk after the date on which the change comes into effect, your use of Lawpack.co.uk indicates your agreement to be bound by the new Terms and Conditions.

3. Prices

The prices and delivery charges payable for the products or services that you order are clearly set out on Lawpack.co.uk. If, by mistake, an item is under-priced, Lawpack will not be liable to supply that item to you at the stated price, provided that Lawpack notifies you before the item is dispatched. All prices are expressed inclusive of any VAT payable unless otherwise stated.

4. Acceptance

There will be no contract of any kind between you and Lawpack unless and until Lawpack actually dispatches the goods to you. Your order is an offer to buy from Lawpack. Nothing that Lawpack does or says will amount to any acceptance of that offer until Lawpack dispatches the goods to you. At any point up until then, Lawpack may decline to supply the goods to you without giving any reason. At the moment that the goods are dispatched (and not before), a contract will be made between you and Lawpack, and you will be charged for the goods.

5. Delivery

Delivery will be made to the address specified by you on the completed order form. Please note that Lawpack can only deliver products within the UK. Lawpack will aim to deliver goods as stated but cannot guarantee delivery by such a date.

6. Cancellation

If you order goods, you have the right to cancel your order up to 7 working days after the day following the placement of the order. In the event that the goods have already been dispatched at the date of receipt of your cancellation of the order you must return the goods and Lawpack will credit your credit or debit card with the price of the goods within 30 days beginning with the day on which notice of cancellation was given. Orders for electronic items (form downloads, e-kits) that have been downloaded may not be cancelled.

If you do not return the goods within 21 days of your cancellation, Lawpack will make a charge in respect of the cost of recovering the goods. If you do not return the goods or fail to make them available for collection within 30 days of your notice of cancellation, you will be deemed to have accepted the goods, at which point a new purchase contract will be made and you will be charged for your order at the price set out on Lawpack.co.uk.

If your order is for the provision of services, please note that you will be unable to cancel the contract once performance of the services has begun. This does not affect your statutory rights.

7. Returns

You can return any purchase for non-electronic goods (books, kits or paper forms) within 30 days of the date the goods are received for any reason, on the sole condition that any item is returned to Lawpack in its original condition. Lawpack will issue a full refund for the price that was paid for the item.

You have the right to return a faulty item within a reasonable period of time, but please keep any warranty information that accompanies the item as this will be needed should there be a fault.

If you take delivery of a purchase from Lawpack and the contents have been damaged in transit, you may return the item(s) to Lawpack within 30 days of receipt for an exchange.

If you return an item because of an error on Lawpack’s part or because it is defective, Lawpack will be happy to refund the delivery charges incurred in sending the item to you and the costs of returning it to Lawpack. If cancelling the purchase under the statutory 7 working days cooling-off period, Lawpack will refund the normal postage charge for the delivery of that item but cannot refund any express or courier postage charge. You will be responsible for those charges and the costs of any other services provided in connection with your purchase.
