Terms and Conditions

These are Halfords Online Store Terms and Conditions of sale to which all online purchases are subject. We reserve the right to change these terms and conditions at any time, without notice. Any changes will take effect when posted on this website. By using this website you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions.

These Terms and Conditions do not affect your statutory rights.

If you have any questions about the site or your order, you should find the answers here...

1. The Contract

Acceptance of your order and the completion of the contract between us (Halfords Ltd) and you, (the customer), will take place when the goods have been paid for by you and despatched by us. Any email, order confirmation or other electronic acknowledgement by us of receipt of an order does not constitute legal acceptance by Halfords of your order.

In the event that there are any errors regarding price or description, we reserve the right to notify you as soon as possible and give you the options to proceed with this revised order at the correct price/description, or to cancel the order. In these circumstances, upon cancellation, your credit/debit card will be refunded in full.

1b. Price Information

The prices shown are only applicable to purchases made via the Halfords Online store. On occasions, the prices payable and promotions offered online may differ from those prices and promotions offered at the same time in Halfords stores. We are under no obligation to honour any in-store price or promotion that differs from those online. Similarly, Halfords stores are under no obligation to honour any online price or promotion that differs from the in-store price.

Where the ’In-store Price’ is listed, this refers to the current price in Halfords stores.

Special Offers and promotions advertised in the press or other media may be excluded unless specifically advertised as available online.

Offers cannot be used in conjunction with one another. Where more than one offer is available on the same product only one discount will apply. The offer giving the greatest saving will be applied in the basket.

Voucher code offers cannot be used in conjunction with any other promotional offer.

All offers are subject to availability and while stocks last.

All prices are shown in £ sterling and include V.A.T. where appropriate. We regret we are not able to offer VAT exclusive pricing for deliveries to the Channel Islands.

If an administrative error has resulted in an incorrect price being displayed, we reserve the right to correct that price and notify you accordingly. In these circumstances, it will be deemed that a contract has not been entered into and you will not be bound to continue with your purchase. You will be asked to email us to confirm that you wish to proceed at the correct price, however, should you choose not to do so, your monies will be refunded to your credit/debit card in full. The repayment of such monies paid to us will be the extent of our liability to you in the event of pricing errors.

Halfords VAT number is 797 0776 69.

2. Ordering Goods

Our online store can only accept orders originating from and for delivery to UK addresses.

To order goods from our online store, you need to select your required items from the product information page(s) they appear on. These pages can be accessed by selecting one of our main product categories, either from the top navigation bar or from the list of categories and sub-categories displayed on the centre of your screen. To place an order online, go to the product information page and then follow the steps outlined below:

• Product Information Page: Check the availability of the product at the top right of the product information page. For products that are labelled ‘In stock’, simply click the ’Add to basket’ button on the product information page. If a product is not available to buy online the ’Add to basket’ button will not appear and will be replaced with a ’Continue shopping’ button, allowing you to select an alternative item if required.Please note that when purchasing items on a 3 for 2 offer, Buy One Get One Free offer or Buy One Get One Half Price offer, please add all 3 or both items to your basket, and the discount will then be automatically displayed on the Shopping Basket page.
• Shopping Basket Page: After making your selections, click on the ’Continue to checkout’ or ’Checkout’ button. You will be able to review and amend your order before proceeding through the checkout pages.
• Billing Page: We will then ask for details of your billing address - this MUST be the address at which your Credit/Debit card is registered - and email/phone contact details so we can contact you if we need to discuss your order. Please complete your details in the appropriate boxes and click the ’Next’ button. You will be given the opportunity to select a different delivery address later in the checkout process.
• Delivery Page: Check your details and confirm they are correct by clicking the ’Continue to checkout’ button. If you details are incorrect in any way, click on the ’Edit address book’ button to amend your details. You can add a different delivery address at this stage by clicking the ’Create new address’ button.
• Order Summary Page: Finally, we will ask you to check the details of the products you are ordering, along with your billing and delivery addresses. If you have a promotional code, enter it in the box provided and press ’Submi’, and your order will be automatically updated. Then complete the details of the credit/debit card you wish to use to make your payment and don't forget to tick the boxes confirming you have read these Terms and Conditions and to allow you to be contacted by us via email if you wish to. Clicking ’Order Now’ will generate and transmit your order and display a page confirming the details of your order for your records. Unfortunately, due to the speed of our order processing, you will not be able to amend your order after pressing the ’Confirm Order’ button, so please check all details are correct before placing your order.

Halfords will confirm receipt of your order by sending an email to you, using the address you supplied when registering with our website. This email is only an acknowledgement and does not constitute legal acceptance by us of your order.

All orders placed on Halfords Direct are subject to stock availability and to the validation checks described in section 4 below. Also please refer to section 1 above regarding incorrect prices. No contract will exist until payment has been received and goods have been dispatched. This will be deemed to be our acceptance of your order and to have been effectively communicated to you.

Please note that the only language in which the contract can be concluded is English. Halfords will retain details of your order in our database and these details can be made available on request. Please contact our Customer Service team.

3. Payment

We accept payment by most major credit or debit cards registered at UK addresses.

Please ensure that the expiry date of your credit/debit card is after the anticipated despatch date of your order. Payment will be debited from your account just before the despatch of your goods, and if your payment card has expired, we will be unable to take payment and fulfill your order.

We regret that we are unable to accept payment by cheque, cash, Halfords Edge Card, Halfords Gift Vouchers, High Street Vouchers, Purchase Orders or any other form of payment other than credit or debit cards.

Paypal as a Payment Method

Paypal is now available as a payment method on Halfords.com.

How does it work?

It is simple, on the payment page, select Paypal as your chosen payment method and you will be directed to a log on screen. Once you have logged on, you will see all your order details and be asked to confirm payment. On confirming payment you will then be presented with your order confirmation page on Halfords.com.

You will receive an email from Halfords confirming your order, and two further emails from Paypal, one notifying that you have authorised a payment on your Paypal account, and one to confirm payment once we have dispatched the order.

How do I get a refund?

In Store

Paypal as a payment type will be shown on all documentation sent to you from Hafords.com. So all you need to do is present your proof of purchase in store.

The store will then call Halfords Customer Services to carry out a refund on your behalf. This is because the store will not have access to your Paypal account.

By Phone

When you call Customer Services to arrange your return, they will be able to see that your payment was made via Paypal and we will refund your account on receipt of the returned goods.

Terms and Conditions

Further Terms and Conditions on Purchasing with Paypal can be found at www.paypal.co.uk

4. Validation Checks

All credit and charge card holders are subject to validation checks and authorisation by the card issuer. If the issuer of your payment card refuses to authorise payment to us, we will not be liable for any delay or non-delivery.

In addition, in the interests of preventing fraudulent use of credit, debit and charge cards, Halfords will validate the names, addresses and other information supplied during the order process against commercially available records (e.g Electoral Roll data, Credit Reference Services). A third party may also be instructed to complete these checks. By ordering from the Halfords.com website you consent to such checks being made. We may need to contact you by letter, telephone or email to verify details before we are able to process and dispatch your order or we may be unable to accept your order. Any information given may be disclosed to a registered Credit Reference Agency which may keep a record of the information. All information provided will be treated in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998. These measures are taken as extra protection for you, to ensure your online shopping experience with us is as safe and secure as possible.

5. Liability

The majority of card issuers cover all the charges that may result from unauthorised use of your credit card or debit cards, but some may limit your liability to £50. If you believe your credit or debit card has been subject to unauthorised use you should contact your card issuer without delay.

6. Delivery of Goods

We can only deliver to addresses within the United Kingdom. For deliveries to non-mainland UK addresses and certain remote locations e.g. Scottish Isles, Isle of Man, Isle of Wight, Northern Ireland and the Scottish Highlands there may be an additional surcharge imposed by our carriers and a slightly longer delivery lead-time. This charge will be shown clearly during the checkout process. Where 'Free Delivery' is offered on selected products carrier surcharges will still apply to orders delivered to included postcodes. Goods can be delivered either to your home address, to an alternative address or to your work. We regret we are not able to deliver to the Channel Islands.

Your order will be delivered either by Royal Mail, Royal Mail Recorded Delivery or by courier. A signature is required for all Royal Mail Recorded Delivery and courier deliveries.

If your order contains more than one product the individual products may, on occasions, be sent on multiple dispatches at no extra charge.

6a. Delivery Charges

The delivery charge for each item is listed on the product detail page underneath the ’Add to Basket’ button. When you add products to your shopping basket the appropriate charge will be added automatically. All delivery charges will be shown clearly throughout the checkout process.

We make every effort to keep our delivery charges as low as possible. The delivery charge depends on the size and weight of the product ordered and the delivery service option you choose.

You can choose from our Standard Delivery Service or Flexible Delivery Options.

See the table below for standard delivery charges:

Delivery charges are per order, not per item, so for example, if you buy an adult bike and a sat nav unit you only pay £9.99 for the delivery of both. For some items, e.g. selected Sat Nav, the delivery charge is free. This is clearly marked on the appropriate product detail pages. Flexible delivery options are an additional charge to the Standard delivery of items/ orders.

See the table below for flexible delivery charges:

For example, if you have a Car Audio unit delivered on a named day of your choice the cost for delivery is £7.99.

6b. Delivery Times

You can choose from our Standard Delivery Service or Flexible Delivery Options.

Standard delivery of stocked items is normally within 4 working days. Delivery times are calculated in working days - i.e. Monday to Friday inclusive (working days do not include weekends or National Bank Holidays). In case of Bank Holidays please allow an extra 2 working days.

Some items are delivered directly to you from the manufacturer and may incur a longer delivery leadtime. This is clearly shown on the product detail page.

For Next Day Delivery, orders must be placed by 1pm.

For Saturday Delivery, orders must be placed by 1pm Friday.

Your order will be delivered either by Royal Mail, Royal Mail Recorded Delivery or by courier. A signature is required for all Royal Mail Recorded Delivery and courier deliveries. Goods delivered by courier will usually arrive between 9am and 5pm, however our couriers may attempt delivery outside these hours, up to 9pm Monday to Friday. All courier deliveries must be signed for. If you are out when the courier arrives they will attempt to deliver to an immediate neighbour. The courier will leave a card advising where the parcel has been delivered to or if they have been unable to deliver they will make two further attempts and leave a card with the contact number for you to call to arrange a suitable time for redelivery or for you to collect the goods from the local depot.

Deliveries to non-Mainland UK or remote locations may take longer.

Please note that if your order is made up of a combination of items, deliveries may, on occasion be made separately.

Risk in the goods will pass to you on delivery.

We reserve the right to alter or amend delivery times in exceptional circumstances.

We do everything we can to meet the delivery time specified in this section, however occasionally delivery times may be affected by factors beyond our control and cannot be guaranteed. We will inform you if we become aware of an unexpected delay. In the event that we fail to meet a specified delivery date you will have the option of either cancelling your order and receiving a full refund, or continuing with the order and accepting a refund of any additional delivery charge we have made.

Delivery times quoted above can vary depending on stock availability and delivery location.

7. After-sales Service and Guarantees

Where applicable, details of manufacturers' guarantees or service arrangements will be provided with the product. After sales service and warranty/guarantee claims will initially be dealt with by your local Halfords Superstore.

If you have any further queries once you have spoken to your local store, please don't hesitate to contact us

8. Restrictions on Ordering and Delivery

We can only accept orders from holders of credit or debit cards registered at UK addresses.

We can deliver to most addresses in the U.K. Unfortunately we are unable to deliver to non-UK destinations, including the Republic of Ireland. Please contact us if you require further details. All goods are subject to availability.

Where a person attempts to buy goods where minimum age limits apply, the contract will be deemed void where the individual is below the required age limit.
