(f) We/Our/Us: GHD North America LLC, trading as ghd, of 4500 Park Granada, Suite 100, Calabasas, CA 91302.

1.2 When We use the words "writing" or "written" in these Terms, this will include e-mail unless We say otherwise.

2. OUR CONTRACT WITH YOU

2.1 These are the terms and conditions on which We supply Products to you.

2.2 Please ensure that you read these Terms carefully and check that the details of your Order are complete and accurate before you submit the Order. These Terms tell you who We are, how We will provide Products to you, how you and We may change or end the contract, what to do if there is a problem and other important information.

2.3 When you submit the Order to Us, this does not mean We have accepted your Order. Our acceptance of the Order will take place as described in clause 2.4. If We cannot accept your Order, We will inform you of this, We will not process the Order and any payment taken will be refunded (or any pending payment will be released). We might not accept your Order because the Product is out of stock, because of unexpected limits on Our resources which We could not reasonably plan for, because your Order breaches any of these Terms, because We have identified an error in the price or description of the Product or because We are unable to meet delivery deadlines.

2.4 Our acceptance of your Order will take place when We dispatch the Products you have ordered from Our warehouse. This is the point at which point a contract will come into existence between you and Us. We will confirm dispatch of the Products and acceptance of your Order by email. Please note that the processing of your payment (or placing a pending payment on your account) and acknowledgement of your Order does not constitute acceptance of your Order.

2.5 We shall assign an order number to the Order and inform you of it when We accept the Order. It will help Us if you can quote the order number in all subsequent correspondence with Us relating to the Order.

3. CHANGES TO ORDER OR TERMS

3.1 We may revise these Terms from time to time so you should check the Terms prior to placing any future Order.

3.2 If you wish to cancel an Order before it has been fulfilled, please see your right to do so in clause 7.

4. DELIVERY OF PRODUCTS

4.1 Please note that timescales for delivery and delivery charges will vary depending on the availability of the Products (including any pre-orders) and your address. Please consult the “Payment & Delivery” section of the Website.

4.2 Delivery of an Order shall be completed when We deliver the Products to the address you gave Us. The Products will be your responsibility from the completion of delivery.

4.3 If We are not able to deliver the whole of the Order at one time due to operational reasons or shortage of stock, We will, except where your Order includes a pre-order, deliver the Order in installments. We will not charge you extra delivery costs for this. However, if you ask Us to deliver the Order in instalments, We may charge you extra delivery costs. Each installment shall constitute a separate contract governed by these Terms. If We are late delivering an instalment or one installment is faulty, that will not entitle you to cancel any other instalment.

4.4 You own the Products once We have delivered them (provided that We have received payment in full).

4.5 If, after a failed deliver to you, you do not re-arrange delivery or collect them from a delivery depot We will contact you for further instructions and may charge you for storage costs and any further delivery costs. If, despite Our reasonable efforts, We are unable to contact you or re-arrange delivery or collection We may end the contract and clause 13.2 will apply.

4.6 On delivery of your Order please check the Products against the delivery note or covering email in the case of gift cards. If there is any discrepancy or if any Product is damaged please contact Us as set out in clause 14 as soon as possible. Where there is a discrepancy with your Order, We will ask you to return the Product to us in unused condition and in its original packaging which should be undamaged. You should inform us within 7 days if you consider that the Products are damaged, otherwise the Products will be considered to have been correctly delivered, free from damage. This will be without prejudice to any damage or fault you could not have discovered on reasonable inspection of the Products.

4.7 If you have not received your Order within 7 days of receiving the order confirmation please contact Us as set out in clause 14. International deliveries may take longer.

4.8 You have legal rights if We deliver any Products late. Whilst Our standard delivery service will usually deliver Product within 7 days of dispatch, Our legal obligation is to deliver Product without undue delay and in any event not more than 30 days after the date on which the contract between you and Us is entered into.  If We miss this delivery deadline, or any other deadline that We agree with you, then you can cancel your Order for any of the Products or reject Products that have been delivered by contacting customer services as set out in clause 14. If We have delivered some of the Products to you, you must post them back to Us in an unused condition and in their original, undamaged packaging.  We will pay the costs of postage so please contact customer services as set out in clause 14 for a returns label.  After cancellation (and return of the Products if applicable) We will refund any sums you have paid to Us for the cancelled Products and their delivery and the provisions of clause 12 will apply where these Products were subject to a promotion when sold.

5. YOUR RIGHTS TO END THE CONTRACT

5.1 Your rights when you end the contract will depend on what you have bought, whether there is anything wrong with it and when you decide to end the contract because:

(a) what you have bought is faulty or misdescribed you may have a legal right to end the contract (or to get the Product repaired or replaced or to get some or all of your money back), see clause 6;

(b) you want to end the contract because of something We have done or have told you We are going to do, see clause 5.2; or

(c) you have just changed your mind about the Product, see clause 7. 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 return of any Products. 

5.2. If you are ending a contract for a reason set out at 5.2 (a) to (c) below the contract 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:

(a) 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;

(b) there is a risk that supply of the Products may be significantly delayed because of events outside our control; or

(c) you have a legal right to end the contract because of something We have done wrong (including because we have delivered late (see clause 4.8)) in which case you would be required to return the Product to us and we will fund the costs of return (please contact customer services as set out in clause 14 for a returns label).

5.3 If you wish to end the contract for any reason set out in clause 5.1, you must let us know by contacting customer services as set out in clause 14.  Where you have changed your mind and are cancelling under clause 7, you may use the form referred to in clause 7.1.  Where you end the contract for any reason after Products have been dispatched to you, you must return them to us.  Clauses 6 and 7 include more information about how Products should be returned and who is responsible for paying the costs of return.

6. IF THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE PRODUCT

6.1 THIS LIMITED WARRANTY GIVES YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS AND YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER RIGHTS, WHICH VARY FROM STATE TO STATE. We warrant that on delivery and for the period set out below, the Products shall be free from material defects. OUR RESPONSIBILITY FOR DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS IS LIMITED TO REPAIR, REPLACEMENT OR REFUND AS SET FORTH IN THIS WARRANTY STATEMENT. However, this warranty does not apply and We shall not be liable in the circumstances described in clause 6.2.

Provided that you let Us know by contacting us at 818 843 9673 during the relevant warranty period within a reasonable time of discovery that the Product does not comply with this warranty (giving us as much detail as possible) and you return the Product to Us, We shall (at our option) either repair or replace the defective Product, or refund the price of the defective Product in full.

6.2 This warranty does not apply to any defect in the Products arising from:

(a) fair wear and tear;

(b) willful damage, abnormal storage or working conditions, accident, negligence by you or by any third party;

(c) if you fail to operate or use the Products in accordance with the user instructions; and

(d) any alteration or repair by you or by a third party.

6.3 WE MAKE NO OTHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY WITH RESPECT TO THE PRODUCTS OTHER THAN THE LIMITED WARRANTY SET FORTH ABOVE. UNLESS UNENFORCEABLE OR UNLAWFUL UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, NONINFRINGEMENT, AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS OR EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

7. YOUR CANCELLATION RIGHTS

7.1 We operate a 21 day no hassle returns policy under which you have a right to cancel a contract and return any Product at any time between the contract being formed and 21 days from the day after you receive your Order. If you wish to cancel the contract, you must:

(a) let Us know by contacting customer services by telephone, email or contact form (all contact details are set out in clause 14) or by printing this form and posting it to Us at the address on the form;

(b) include original packing slip and Order Confirmation E-mail Receipt; and

(c) then return the Products (including their original packaging and accessories) to Us within 14 days of letting us know you wish to cancel.

We shall provide you with a refund of the price paid for the Product excluding shipping and handling charges . The refund will be made within 14 days of the date We receive the Products or, if earlier, within 14 business days from the date you provide proof of postage to Us.

7.2 You must pay the costs of return however, please note that where you are returning Products that are faulty and misdescribed or if you are ending this contract in accordance with clause 5.2 We will pay the costs of return.

7.3 If you are exercising your right to cancel under this clause 7:

(a) We may reduce your refund of the price (excluding delivery costs) to reflect any reduction in the value of the Products (including their packaging), if this has been caused by your handling them in a way which would not be permitted in a shop.   Please note that the reduction in value may be as much as the original price.   For example, use of Our electrical products would not be permitted in a shop and therefore your use of Products in this way prior to returning them under this clause 7 would result in a significant reduction in value.  Also, please note that Our product packaging is valuable and the value of the Product is significantly reduced if this is damaged. If We refund you the price paid before We are able to inspect the Products and later discover you have handled them in an unacceptable way, you must pay Us an appropriate amount.

(b) The maximum refund for delivery costs will be the costs of delivery by the least expensive delivery method We offer. For example, if We offer delivery of a product within 3-5 days at one cost but you choose to have the Product delivered within 24 hours at a higher cost, then We will only refund what you would have paid for the cheaper delivery option.

8. GIFT CARDS

8.1 Gift cards are only redeemable for goods on the Website and may not be used to purchase further gift cards or exchanged for cash, except in states or other jurisdictions where required by law.

8.2 After making a purchase with your gift card no change will be given but any remaining balance may be applied to future purchases.

8.3 Gift cards will expire five years from the date of purchase, except to the extent such expiration is prohibited or limited by law. At expiry, any remaining balance will be lost.

8.4 Gift cards may only be used to buy products from the same ghd country website as the gift card was bought from. For example, a gift card bought on the US part of our Website can only be used to buy goods from the US part of our Website.

8.5 Please protect your gift card and treat it as though it is cash. We are not responsible for gift cards that are lost, stolen, damaged or used without your permission.

8.7 Gift cards are not subject to discount or included in any promotional activity.

9. PRICE AND PAYMENT

9.1 The price of the Products will be the price indicated on the order pages when you place your Order. We take all reasonable care to ensure that the price of the Product advised to you is correct. However please see clause 9.3 for what happens if We discover an error in the price of the Product you order or in any promotional discount applied to the Order. Our prices may change at any time, but price changes will not affect Orders that We have accepted.

9.2 All prices subject to all applicable sales, use and similar taxes.

9.3 It is always possible that, despite Our best efforts, some of the Products We sell may be incorrectly priced or promotional discounts may be incorrectly applied. We will normally check prices and promotional discounts before accepting your Order so that, where the Product's correct price (less any promotional discount) at your Order date is less than Our stated price at your Order date, We will charge the lower amount. If the Product's correct price (less any promotional discount) at your Order date is higher than the price stated to you, We will contact you for your instructions before We accept your Order. If We accept and process your Order where a pricing error is obvious and unmistakable and could reasonably have been recognized by you as a mispricing, We may end the contract, refund you any sums you have paid and require the return of any Products provided to you.

9.4 Depending on the method of delivery you select the prices for the Products may exclude delivery costs, which will be added to the total amount due. Please see the “Payment & Delivery” section of the Website.

9.5 You must make payment for Products by credit or debit card or, if using Paypal, another method accepted by Paypal. We will collect funds from you when We dispatch the Products, however, We may place a pending payment on your account (including your Paypal account) when you place your Order. Taking payment or placing a pending payment on your account does not constitute acceptance of your Order.

10. OUR LIABILITY TO YOU

10.1 IF WE FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THESE TERMS, WE ARE ONLY RESPONSIBLE FOR LOSS OR DAMAGE YOU SUFFER THAT IS A FORESEEABLE RESULT OF OUR BREACH OF THE TERMS OR OUR NEGLIGENCE IN EACH CASE UP TO THE VALUE OF THE APPLICABLE ORDER, BUT WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE THAT IS NOT FORESEEABLE. FURTHERMORE, IN NO EVENT WILL YOUR LOSS OR DAMAGE INCLUDE INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, OR INDIRECT DAMAGES OF ANY KIND EVEN IF WE ARE AWARE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. Loss or damage is foreseeable if it was an obvious consequence of our breach or if it was contemplated by you and Us at the time we entered into the contract. Some states may not allow some or all of the foregoing limitations on our liability, so they may not apply to you. This paragraph gives Customer specific legal rights and you may also have other legal rights that vary from state to state.

This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by Our negligence or the negligence of Our employees, agents or subcontractors; for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; for breach of your legal rights in relation to the Products.
