The following terms and conditions apply to all orders for the purchase of goods from the Emmaus Colchester Online shop, or over the telephone.
Our contract
If you place an order for an item online or over the telephone from Emmaus Colchester we will send you a message confirming receipt of your order and containing the details of your order. Your order represents an offer to us to purchase a product which is accepted by us when we either deliver the product to you or you collect the order from us. Any products on the same order which we have not delivered to you or collected by you do not form part of that contract. You warrant that you are legally capable of entering into binding contracts and that you are at least 18 years old.
Description of the goods
We will take all reasonable care to ensure that all details, descriptions and prices of products appearing on the website are correct at the time when the relevant information was entered onto the system. Whilst we endeavour to provide up to date images of individual products, for a minority of items such as high print volume books, stock images may be used. We reserve the right to refuse orders where product information has been mis-published, including prices and promotions.
Availability
The supply of goods from this website is subject to availability and it is not always possible for us to inform you at the time you place your order whether the goods you want are still available for purchase. In the case of this happening a refund will be given.
Delivery
Emmaus Colchester offers a delivery service starting from £19.50 based on your postcode on all orders containing secondhand, donated products. This charge will be determined by telephone/message with a member of the Emmaus Colchester team, no contract to purchase will be entered into until any such delivery charge is agreed.
We aim to dispatch all items within 7 days of your order being received.

On arrival at location a member of the team will assist you. We will allow up to 7 days storage from day of purchase after which time the item will incur a storage charge of £5.00 per day. This storage charge does not affect your statutory rights.
Cancellation and returns
We offer a returns policy, which begins from the date you received the goods. Our goods are secondhand and as such will have wear and tear, scuffs and marks these will be highlighted in our pictures. You have 3 days from receipt of your item to notify us if you wish to return it, then you have 7 days from notifying us to return the item. If you contact us outside of the 7-day period or fail to return the item to us within 10 days we will not refund the order (unless defective/damaged). All unwanted goods should be returned in a resaleable condition. This does not affect your statutory rights.

Losses
We will not be responsible for any business loss (including loss of profits, revenue, contracts, anticipated savings, data, goodwill or wasted expenditure) or any other indirect or consequential loss even if the loss was reasonably foreseeable to both you and us when you commenced using the website or when the contract for the sale of goods was formed.

If any of these conditions are deemed invalid, void, or for any reason unenforceable, that condition will be deemed severable and will not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining condition.
Events beyond our reasonable control
We will not be held responsible for any delay or failure to comply with our obligations under these conditions if the delay or failure arises from any cause which is beyond our reasonable control. This condition does not affect your statutory rights.
