Terms and Conditions

Price policy

Every item is described as accurately as possible and represents excellent value for money. The correct price is that which is displayed on this website, at the time that we receive your application, save in the case of a mistake where a pricing error is discovered or for reasons beyond our reasonable control, e.g alterations to the rate of value added tax. If the correct price is higher than the price displayed on the website, you may return the goods within our 14 days approval, in new condition.

We reserve the right to adjust the VAT element if this changes from 20% (as advised by HMRC).

In some instances items may have been sold at their original prices on the website or in the catalogue of one of our Scotts & Co. sister companies and items may not be necessarily have ever sold previously on this company's website. Details of all the Scotts & Co. brands are available on request.

We always strive to bring our customers the best possible offers and deals whilst ensuring to operate fair commercial practices without misleading our customers.

Where we detail price reductions on our web-site the following pricing policy shall apply: The 'WAS' price shown next to an item on this website is the highest price at which the item has been offered for sale in the last 12 months by us or one of our sister company publications (details on request). Some items have been offered for sale at a price lower than the 'WAS' price during the last 12 months but, unless otherwise indicated, the 'NOW' price shown is the lowest price at which item has been offered by us. Details of intervening prices are available on request. In all cases the 'WAS' price will have applied for a continuous period of 28 days or more.

Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Regulations

On 1 July 2007 the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Regulations were implemented in the UK in order to protect our environment. Along with other retailers, Scotts & Co. have joined the Distributor Take-Back Scheme (DTS) which will allow you to deposit your old electrical/electronic items, free of charge, to recycling points set up around the country.

Visit www.recycle-more.co.uk to find out where your nearest recycling point is. Unfortunately we cannot accept electrical items back for recycling. Instead Scotts & Co. has contributed to the funding of an alternative network of UK recycling facilities as stated above.

Waste Battery Regulations

Under the Waste Battery Regulations, Scotts & Co. are now offering a take back scheme for all portable waste batteries. You can return your waste batteries to our business premises in person.

Alternatively, you can find your local waste portable battery recycling facility at www.recyclenow.co.uk.
