2. Basis of Sale
2.1 By placing an order via this website (twinnearth.co.uk), you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions. These Terms supersede any previous agreements.
2.2 The Seller reserves the right to decline any order without giving reason. A contract is formed only when the Seller dispatches the Goods.
3. Price and Payment
3.1 The Price of the Goods shall be the price listed on the website at the date of order. We reserve the right to amend prices at any time due to copper market fluctuations.
3.2 All prices are displayed inclusive of VAT at the prevailing rate (currently 20%). The final invoice will reflect this breakdown.
3.3 Payment is due immediately upon order unless a Credit Account has been authorized in writing. Title to the Goods shall not pass to the Buyer until payment has been received in full.
4. Delivery and Risk
4.1 Delivery dates provided are estimates only. Orders placed before 2pm are processed for same-day dispatch, but carrier transit times are not guaranteed.
4.2 Risk of damage to or loss of the Goods shall pass to the Buyer at the time of delivery or, if the Buyer wrongfully fails to take delivery, the time when the Seller tendered delivery.
4.3 Any claims for damage or short delivery must be notified within 24 hours of receipt.
5. Returns and Cancellations

If purchasing as a consumer, you have the right to cancel within 14 days under the Consumer Contracts Regulations. However, Twinnearth extends this to a 30-day window for your peace of mind. Goods must be returned strictly unused and in original packaging.
5.2 Trade Buyers
Trade returns are accepted under the same 30-day standard policy provided items are unused and in original condition. We do not charge a hidden restocking fee for standard returns.

9.3 Buyers are advised that installation of non-certified or non-compliant cable may be a violation of UK Building Regulations and could invalidate property insurance.
