Alternatively, you may call us on +44 (0)1895 730004.

1.2    These Terms and Conditions govern the supply by us of any products ordered by you relating to this Web site (“the Site“), whether on the Site or by any other means. The particular product that you order at any one time from us is referred to in these Terms and Conditions as “the Product“. Further details of the Product can be obtained by reviewing the Site and contacting us. By agreeing to order a Product, you agree to be legally bound by these Terms and Conditions.

1.3    In these Terms and Conditions:

1.3.1     “you” means a consumer who orders a Product from us;

1.3.2     “the Contract” means your order of a Product in accordance with these Terms and Conditions which we accept in accordance with clause 2.9 below. If you order more than one Product or several units of the same type of Product, each unit of each Product will constitute a separate Contract; and

2     Making Orders of Products

2.1    When making an order on the Site, you must follow the instructions on the Site as to how to make your order and for making changes to your order before you submit it to us.

2.2   Irrespective of any previous price that you have seen or heard, once you select a Product that you wish to order, you will then be shown or told the price you must pay including VAT (if applicable) or Credit/Debit Card Transaction charges (if applicable) and any applicable delivery charges. Subject to chosen payment option (see clause 2.4 below) this is the total that you will pay for receipt of the ordered Product. There are no extra charges unless you opt for a special delivery service, in which case we shall inform you of any additional cost before we process your request.

2.3    Payment by credit/debit card or Paypal payment service may incur a transaction fee of up to 3.3% of your total order cost in respect to transaction charges which are applied to our store by these payment providers. Payment by direct bank transfer will incur no additional charges but may, in some instances, delay your order by as much as 1-3 days subject to the speed at which your bank transfer is received into account. In such instances, if your payment is not received instantly, your product order will only be processed at the point of funds being cleared into our account, at which point you will be notified that your payment has cleared and your order can now be fulfilled.

2.4    When you order on the Site, you shall pay for the Product at the time of ordering by supplying us with your credit or debit card details from a credit or debit card company acceptable to us, which we require in order to process your order. If you order other than through the Site, you may pay by any method acceptable to us, but in any event we shall not be bound to supply before we have received cleared funds

2.5    If you are asked for details of a payment card, you must be fully entitled to use that card. The card must have sufficient funds to cover the proposed payment to us.

2.6   We do not store credit card details nor do we share customer details with any 3rd parties.

2.7    You undertake that all details you provide to us for the purpose of purchasing the Product from us will be correct, that the credit or debit card, or other payment method, which you use is your own and that there are sufficient funds or credit facilities to cover the cost of the Product. We reserve the right to obtain validation of your credit or debit card details before providing you with the Product.

2.8    When you submit an order to purchase a Product from us, you agree that you do so subject to these Terms and Conditions.

2.9    Your order remains valid as an offer until when we accept your order or if earlier when we receive your notice revoking your order.

2.10    We shall not be obliged to supply the Product to you until we have accepted your order. An e-mail, letter, fax or other acknowledgement of your order by us is purely for information purposes and does not constitute acceptance of your order. We may in our discretion refuse to accept an order from you for any reason, including (but not limited to) unavailability of supplies. The Contract shall be formed and we shall be legally bound to supply the Product to you when we accept your order. Unless we expressly accept your order by other means, acceptance shall take place when we commence delivery or (in the case of a customised Product) start the process of making the Product. We may send a confirmatory invoice to you at any time after we have accepted your order. Until the time when we accept your order, we reserve the right to refuse to process your order and you reserve the right to cancel your order. If you or we have cancelled your order before we have accepted it, then we will promptly refund any payment made by you or your credit or debit card company to us for the order of the Product.

2.11    If you discover that you have made a mistake with your order after you have submitted it to us, please contact [email protected] immediately.

2.12   We endeavour to ensure that the price given to you is accurate, but the price of your order will need to be validated by us as part of our acceptance procedure. If the price for the order changes before we accept your order, we will contact you and ask you to confirm that you wish to proceed at the amended price.

2.13   If any Product has been customised to your design, you shall ensure that your design does not breach or infringe any laws, regulations or bye-laws of any jurisdiction or any intellectual property rights or privacy rights of any person and is not defamatory or offensive. You shall indemnify us and keep us indemnified for all losses, damages, costs, claims and liabilities that we may suffer or incur as a result of you breaching this provision.

2.14   If you select the option to make a payment directly into our bank account, please take extra care that you have used the correct account numbers in your transfer request as payments made to the incorrect account details may not be recoverable and will not be refundable.

2.15   If you select the option to make a payment directly into our bank account, we will not dispatch items until payment has fully cleared in our account. Please note that if there is any delay in receiving this money into our account, this may affect overall order fulfilment time.

2.16  For all items mailed out from the official Fitness4x4 Store, we use either Royal Mail ‘1st Class’Royal Mail ‘Signed For’ or Royal Mail ‘International Signed’.

2.17  If you select Royal Mail ‘1st Class’ only, we will send your item with Proof of Posting from an authorised Royal Mail Post Office to verify the time, date and location from where the item was sent, but the item will not have a tracking number. If the item is subsequently lost in transit, or goes missing at the receiver’s end we are unable to take responsibility for such a loss and will not replace any such lost items. If you are concerned about the possibility of your item not reaching you or the reliability of your local/national postal delivery service, we recommend that you select our ‘Royal Mail Signed For’ postage option for UK orders and Royal Mail ‘International Signed’ postage option for international orders, which will provide your item with a tracking number and will ensure that the item is fully accounted for throughout its journey from us to you. You can select your postage option at checkout.
