After that we will refund any sums you have paid to us for the cancelled Products and their delivery. If the Products have been delivered to you, you must either return them in person to where you bought them, post them back to us or (if they are not suitable for posting) allow us to collect them from you.

If we have to suspend the Product for longer than 14 days in any 30-day period we will adjust the price so that you do not pay for Products while they are suspended. You may contact us to end the Agreement for a Product if we suspend it, or tell you we are going to suspend it, in each case for a period of more than 14 days and we will refund any sums you have paid in advance for the Product in respect of the period after you end the Agreement.
7.13 We may also suspend supply of the Products if you do not pay. If you do not pay us for the Products when you are supposed to (see Clause 12.4) and you still do not make payment within 7 days of us reminding you that payment is due, we may suspend supply of the Products until you have paid us the outstanding amounts. We will contact you to tell you we are suspending supply of the Products. We will not charge you for the Products during the period for which they are suspended.
8. YOUR RIGHTS TO END THE AGREEMENT
8.1 You can always end the Agreement. Your rights when you end the Agreement will depend on what you have bought, whether there is anything wrong with it, how we are performing and when you decide to end the Agreement:
8.1.1 If what you have bought is faulty or misdescribed you may have a legal right to end the Agreement (or to get the Product repaired or replaced or a service re-performed or to get some or all of your money back), see Clause 11.
8.1.2 If you want to end the Agreement because of something we have done or have told you we are going to do,see Clause 8.2.
8.1.3 If you have just changed your mind about the Product, see Clause 8.3. You may be able to get a refund if you are within the cooling-off period, but this may be subject to deductions and you will have to pay the costs of its return;
8.1.4 In all other cases (if we are not at fault and there is no right to change your mind), see Clause 8.7.
8.2 Ending the Agreement because of something we have done or are going to do. If you are ending the Agreement for a reason set out at Clauses 8.2.1 to 8.2.5 below the Agreement will end immediately and we will refund you in full for any products which have not been provided and you may also be entitled to compensation. The reasons are:
8.2.1 we have told you about an upcoming change to the Product or these terms which you do not agree to (see Clause 6.2);
8.2.2 we have told you about an error in the price or description of the Product you have ordered and you do not wish to proceed;
8.2.3 there is a risk that supply of the Products may be significantly delayed because of events outside our control;
8.2.4 we have suspended supply of the products for technical reasons, or notify you we are going to suspend them for technical reasons, in each case for a period of more than 14 days; or
8.2.5 you have a legal right to end the Agreement because of something that we have done wrong.
8.3 Exercising your right to change your mind (Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013). For most products bought online you have a legal right to change your mind within 14 days and receive a refund. These rights, under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, are explained in more detail in these Conditions.
8.4 When you don't have the right to change your mind. You do not have a right to change your mind in respect of:
8.4.1 products sealed for health protection or hygiene purposes, once these have been unsealed after you receive them;
8.4.2 any products which become mixed inseparably with other items after their delivery.
8.5 How long do I have to change my mind? How long you have depends on how the Order is delivered.
You have 14 days after the day you (or someone you nominate) receives the Products, unless:
8.5.1 They are split into several deliveries over different days . In this case you have until 14 days after the day you (or someone you nominate) receives the last delivery to change your mind about the Products.
8.5.2 They are for regular delivery over a set period. In this case you have until 14 days after the day you (or someone you nominate) receives the first delivery of the Products.
8.6 Ending the Agreement where we are not at fault and there is no right to change your mind. Even if we are not at fault and you do not have a right to change your mind (see Clause 8.1), you can still end the Agreement before it is completed. The Agreement is completed when the Products are delivered and paid for. If you want to end the Agreement in these circumstances, contact us to let us know. The Agreement will not end until one calendar month after the day on which you contact us. We will refund any advance payment you have made for Products which will not be provided to you. For example, if you tell us you want to end the Agreement on 4 February we will continue to supply the Products until 3 March. We will only charge you for supplying the product up to 3 March and will refund any sums you have paid in advance for the supply of the Products after 3 March.

9.6.2 The maximum refund for delivery costs will be the costs of delivery by the least expensive delivery method we offer.

Summary of your key legal rights
This is a summary of your key legal rights. These are subject to certain exceptions. For detailed information please visit the Citizens Advice website www.adviceguide.org.uk or call 03454 04 05 06.

up to 30 days: if your goods are faulty, then you can get an immediate refund.

12. PRICE AND PAYMENT
12.1 Where to find the price for the Product. The price of the Product (which includes VAT but does not include packing and transport) will be the price indicated on the order pages of the Website when you placed the Order. We take all reasonable care to ensure that the price of the product notified to you is correct. However please see Clause 12.3 for what happens if we discover an error in the price of the Product you order.
12.2 We will pass on changes in the rate of VAT. If the rate of VAT changes between the Order date and the date we supply the Product, we will adjust the rate of VAT that you pay, unless you have already paid for the Product in full before the change in the rate of VAT takes effect.
12.3 What happens if we got the price wrong. It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the Products we sell may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices before accepting the Order so that, where the Product's correct price at the Order date is less than our stated price at the Order date, we will charge the lower amount. If the product's correct price at the Order date is higher than the price stated to you, we will contact you for your instructions before we accept the Order.
12.4 When you must pay and how you must pay. Please ensure that the expiry date of your payment card is after the anticipated dispatch date of the Order. Payment is taken at the point of order of the Products and in the event that the payment card has expired we will be unable to take payment and fulfil the Order.
13. STANDARD PROMOTIONS

13.2 Unlawful use. If you redeem, attempt to redeem or encourage the redemption of promotional codes to obtain discounts to which you or a third party are not entitled you may be committing a civil or criminal offence.

If we fail to comply with the Agreement, we are responsible for loss or damage that you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breaking the Agreement or our failing to use reasonable care and skill, but we are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable. Loss or damage is foreseeable if either it is obvious that it will happen or if, at the time the Agreement was made, both we and you knew it might happen, for example, if you discussed it with us during the sales process.
14.2 We do not exclude or limit in any way our liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so. This includes liability for:
14.2.1 death or personal injury caused by our negligence or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors (as applicable);

16.2 You need our consent to transfer your rights to someone else (except that you can always transfer our guarantee). You may only transfer your rights or your obligations under the Agreement to another person if we agree to this in writing. However, you may transfer our guarantee at Clause 8.4 to a person who has acquired the Product. We may require the person to whom the guarantee is transferred to provide reasonable evidence that they are now the owner of the Product.
16.3 Nobody else has any rights under the Agreement (except someone to whom you pass your guarantee).

16.4 If a court finds part of the Agreement illegal, the rest will continue in force. If any provision of the Agreement (the "Void Provision") is found by any court or administrative body of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable:
16.4.1 such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the other provisions of the Agreement which shall remain in full force and effect;
16.4.2 if the Void Provision would be valid or enforceable if some part of it were deleted, the Void Provision shall apply with such modification as may be necessary to make it valid and enforceable; and
16.4.3 if that is not possible the Parties shall attempt to substitute for the Void Provision a valid and enforceable provision which achieves to the greatest extent possible the same effect as would have been achieved by the Void Provision.

18. Subscription orders
These terms and conditions govern the relationship between us and the customer (‘you’, ‘your’) in respect of your subscriptions, in addition to our usual Terms and Conditions, Privacy Notice and any other legal terms on our website. By placing an order that includes a subscription, you are agreeing to these terms.
Setting up Your Subscription
Subscriptions are available on products where the ‘subscribe and save’ toggle is present on the product page. You can set up the recurring order there, selecting how often you would like to receive it (1 month to 3 months). You can amend and review these settings within the basket page.
If you set up multiple subscriptions on the same day, at the same frequency, we may group these into one delivery. If the orders have different delivery options, the cheapest delivery option selected will automatically be applied to the grouped order.
Your subscription will continue until cancelled in the manner set out below.
Each subscription profile is a separate contract by law. The contract is concluded when your order is dispatched and you are sent confirmation of dispatch.
Subscriptions are available to UK residents only.
Price of the Products
For your first order, the price of the products will be the price displayed on www.phd.com at the time you place the order.
For subsequent recurring deliveries, the applicable price will be the price of the product at the time payment is taken, with a 25% discount from RRP. The day payment is taken is highlighted as the ‘next billing date’ in your subscription profile and upcoming subscription email sent 3 days before.
If you select standard delivery for your order, you will be charged for the first, but every subsequent order will be free. You may select Next Day Delivery for your first order. For subsequent repeat orders the same delivery method will automatically be selected. Delivery charges for subscriptions are calculated based on the delivery thresholds stated here.
Any discount codes or specific promotions applied to your first order may not apply to subsequent subscription orders.
Loyalty points will only be able to be redeemed against the first order, not subsequent orders.
You can collect loyalty points on your first and subsequent orders as part of the subscription model.
Order Process
After your first order, the recurring order will be automatically placed at your selected interval, using the same payment method used to set up the recurring order.
If loyalty points are used to cover the full price of the first order, the subscription profile will not be set up as we will not be able to save your payment details. Your subscription will therefore fail.
If you use buy now pay later to create your first order, the subscription profile will not be set up as we will not be able to save your payment details. Your subscription will therefore fail.
You will be sent a Reminder Email 3 days before payment is taken to confirm that the order is being placed at which stage you will have the following options:
· Do nothing and receive your order as specified in the email;
· Edit quantity of ordered products;
· Skip your subscription;
· Pause your subscription or
· Cancel your subscription altogether.
These actions can be performed up to 2 days after your Subscription Reminder Email within your customer account area.
Your payment will be taken 3 days after your Subscription Reminder Email, and dispatch usually occurs 1-3 days after payment (depending on the delivery option selected on your first order).
If you card is nearing expiry, expired, or otherwise fails to process, the order will fail to go through and you will receive a ‘subscription failed’ email. Similarly, if your order fails for any other reason (for example the product is out of stock or your address is not recognised), you will receive the same email and our customer service team will attempt to contact you.
Subscription orders may be returned in accordance with our usual returns policy.
Cancellation or Changes
You can make changes to your subscription as per the bullet points above at any time in your customer account online.
You can cancel your subscription with us at any time via your account (except 1 day before your subscription reoccurs) or by contacting our customer service team here. Please be aware, it may not be possible to cancel your recurring order once payment has been taken.
Please note we may cancel your subscription order for any reason in our sole discretion, including if the ordered product is discontinued.

We reserve the right to alter, suspend or terminate the subscriptions service at any time by updating the relevant page on www.phd.com
We also reserve the right to amend these subscription terms at any time by updating this page. You will be subject to the subscription terms in force at the time that each order is placed.
