BIM-BAM RECORDS - TERMS & CONDITIONS

ORDERING:

Our catalogue is generally updated on a regular basis. New items are added and out of stock items are deleted. The 'search' facility will show all items currently available on the last update but if an item has limited stock and has since run out we would notify you that your order was unsuccessful and offer to re-order or suggest alternatives.

SECURITY OF ON-LINE ORDERING:

We use a secure server to receive your credit/debit card details. The secure server site is a SSL* dedicated server and encrypted to 128 bits which is the standard for high security encryption.

Your credit/debit card authorisation will be processed directly through Bim-Bam Records and no third party processing is involved.

*Secure Sockets Layer or SSL is simply a method for viewing a website with complete assurance, that what you are seeing cannot be viewed by a third party. When you enter your credit card information, you will see a small "lock" or "key" appear in your browser. If you see this, you can be confident that what you are typing into a form or viewing cannot be viewed by anyone else.

If you have any security issues the contact persons are the site owner - Bob Thomas.


DISPLAY OF PRICES:

The price of each item is displayed in the shopping cart and against search results. This price is exclusive of post and packing but includes VAT. Once an item is placed in your shopping basket the postage and packing charges will be viewable and if extra items are added the cart will refresh these prices.

IMPORT DUTY:

Customers placing orders outside the UK may have to pay import duty.   We word our Customs Declarations to show that goods are for personal use and not for trade, in order to reduce any payments that local Customs may charge.

However if  the goods supplied to you are 'not suitable for the use that they were intended for' (eg. the CD sticks or does not play), we will accept returns for reimbursement.
This complies with the UK Sale of Goods Act. This does not affect your statutory rights as a consumer.

DVDs

ORDER CANCELLATION:

The Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations requires traders, unless the law permits otherwise, to give the consumer the right to cancel their order within 7 working days without giving a reason. In the case of goods received the 7 working days must start from the day after the day the customer receives the goods.
Bim-Bam Records will comply with the above regulations.

You must ensure that you take reasonable care of goods and return them to us in the condition that they were sent to you.
For example, we cannot accept cancellations on CDs/DVDs where the shrinkwrapping (or other seal) has been removed.

If you decide to cancel your order you should immediately contact us by phone
+44 (0) 23 80600329 -  or email: bimbambob@googlemail.com. If we receive your cancellation before goods are despatched we will refund your money within 30 days.
