We have the right to reject any order for any reason.
5. Availabilty
All orders are subject to availability. We cannot guarantee that any product will be available at any given time. In certain circumstances beyond our reasonable control, for example where there has been a change in law, we may need to stop selling certain products.

11. Delivery dates and costs
11.1 For information on delivery options and costs, go to Shipping Information (platinum.co.uk). You will be given available delivery options to choose from when you place your order.
11.2 Your order will be delivered on the selected delivery date or within the delivery period specified, depending on the delivery option you chose when you placed your order. We will deliver your order within 30 days of the shipping confirmation email unless otherwise agreed between you and us.
11.3 Any delivery dates stated during the order process, or in your order acknowledgment or shipping confirmation emails, are estimates, unless we have agreed a specific delivery date with you.
11.4 We will do all that we reasonably can to deliver your order within the delivery period or on the delivery date agreed with you. If your delivery is delayed, we will email you to let you know as soon as reasonably possible. However, we are not liable to you for any losses you incur if delivery is delayed because of circumstances beyond our reasonable control (for example, severe weather, accidents, or unpredictable traffic delays).
12. Delivery
12.1 Our delivery courier will deliver your order to the address specified by you when you placed your order.
12.2 If no one is available to take delivery, our delivery courier will either post an attempted delivery notification through your letterbox with information on how to re-arrange delivery (where no delivery instructions have been provided by you) or follow the delivery instructions you provided to us (e.g. leaving it in a specified safe location or delivering it to a neighbour or nearby business) and post a delivery note through your letterbox or email you to let you know where we have left your package. If a further delivery attempt is unsuccessful or our delivery courier has been unable to follow your delivery instructions, we will notify you by email, cancel your order and refund you the price of the products (but not the delivery charge).
12.3 Please examine the products as soon as reasonably possible after delivery and notify us of any fault or damage as soon as reasonably possible.
12.4 Once your order has been delivered to your address or in accordance with the delivery instructions you provided to us, the risk in the products passes to you and the goods are classed as having been ‘delivered’. This means that you are responsible for the products and we are not liable to you if the products are stolen or damaged after they have been delivered to you. This does not affect your legal rights if the products are faulty or misdescribed. Ownership of the products passes to you once you have paid for them in full.
13. Your right to cancel
13.1 You have 14 days from the delivery date to change your mind and cancel your order. This does not apply to perishable products or any products that have a protective or hygiene seal (eg pet food) if that seal has been broken.
13.2 To cancel your order, please email us at info@platinum.co.uk, call us on 01179 717 520 or write to us at Unit 3, Apollo Park, Armstrong Way, Yate, Bath, BS37 5AH. You can also use the cancellation form available here Right of Withdrawal (platinum.co.uk). To help us process your cancellation more quickly, please have your order number ready or include it in the email or cancellation form you send to us.
13.3 If you have already received your order, you must return the products to us within 14 days of telling us that you want to cancel your order. The deadline is met if you send the products back to us before the 14-day period has expired. We strongly recommend that you get proof of postage. We may withhold the refund until we have received the products back from you or until you have provided us with evidence that you have sent the products back (whichever is earlier).
13.4 Products must be returned to us in a new and unused condition and, to the extent possible, in their original packaging. We may make a deduction from the refund amount if you have handled the product in a way that has diminished the value of the product, if such handling was beyond what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the products. You are responsible for the products while they are in your possession.
13.5 Unless your products are faulty or misdescribed, you are responsible for the cost of returning the products to us.
13.6 We will provide you with a full refund (including basic delivery charges) as soon as possible. If you cancelled before you received any products, we will issue the refund no later than 14 days after the day on which you told us that you want to cancel. If you have sent products back to us, we will issue the refund no later than 14 days after the day we receive the products back from you or, if earlier, 14 days after the day you provide us with evidence that you have sent the products back.
13.7 We will issue your refund to the same payment method you used when you placed your order.
14. Faulty products
14.1 The products that we provide to you must be as described, fit for purpose and of satisfactory quality. We are under a legal duty to supply products that are in conformity with our contract with you.
14.2 During the expected lifespan of your product, you are entitled to the following:
| Up to 30 days: | If your product is faulty, you can get an immediate refund. |
| Up to six months: | If the product cannot be repaired or replaced, then you are entitled to a full refund in most cases. |
| Up to six years: | If the product does not last a reasonable length of time, you may be entitled to some money back. |
14.3 This is a summary of some of your key rights. They are in addition to your cancellation rights set out in clause 13 above. For more detailed information on your rights, visit the Citizens Advice website at www.citizenadvice.org.uk or call 0808 223 1133.
14.4 If your products are faulty or misdescribed, please contact us as soon as reasonably possible.
15. Events beyond our control
We are not liable to you if we fail to comply with these terms because of circumstances beyond our reasonable control.
16. Our responsibility to you
16.1 If we breach these terms or are negligent, we are liable to you for foreseeable loss or damage that you suffer as a result. By ‘foreseeable’ we mean that, at the time the contract was made, it was either clear that such loss or damage would occur or you and we both knew that it might reasonably occur, as a result of something we did (or failed to do).
16.2 We are not liable to you for any loss or damage that was not foreseeable, any loss or damage not caused by our breach or negligence, or any business loss or damage.
16.3 Nothing in these terms excludes or limits our liability for any death or personal injury caused by our negligence, liability for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that the law does not allow us to exclude or limit.
17. Your information
Any personal information that you provide to us will be dealt with in line with our “Data Protection Policy” available here Data protection (platinum.co.uk), which explains what information we collect and hold about you, and how we collect, store, use and share such information.
18. Your information
No one other than us or you has any right to enforce any of these terms.
19. Transfer of rights
19.1 We may transfer our rights under these terms to another business without your consent, but we will notify you of the transfer and make sure that your rights are not adversely affected as a result.
19.2 You are not allowed to transfer your rights under these terms to anyone without our prior written consent.
20. Complaints
20.1 If you are unhappy with us or the products you ordered, please contact us by email at info@platinum.co.uk, by telephone on 0800 158 80 25 or by using the “Contact Us” form available on our website at Contact (platinum.co.uk).
21. Govering law and jurisdiction
21.1 The laws of England and Wales apply to these terms, although if you are resident elsewhere you will retain the benefit of any mandatory protections given to you by the laws of that country.
21.2 Any disputes will be subject to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales. This means that you can choose whether to bring a claim in the courts of England and Wales or in the courts of another part of the UK in which you live.
