  1. IF YOU ARE A CONSUMER: YOUR RIGHTS TO END THE CONTRACT, RETURN THE PRODUCTS AND REFUND
    • 6.1 You can always end your contract with us. Your rights when you end the contract will depend on what you have bought, whether there is anything wrong with it, how we are performing and when you decide to end the contract:
      • 6.1.1 If the products are faulty or misdescribed. If what you have bought is faulty or misdescribed you may have a legal right to end the contract (or to get the products repaired or replaced or to get some or all of your money back), see clause 10 for further information on your rights;
      • 6.1.2 If you want to end the contract because of something we have done or have told you we are going to do. If you are ending a contract for a reason set out at clauses 6.1.2.1 to 6.1.2.5 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:
        • 6.1.2.1 we have told you about an upcoming change to the products or these terms which you do not agree to;
        • 6.1.2.2 we have told you about an error in the price or description of the products you have ordered and you do not wish to proceed;
        • 6.1.2.3 there is a risk that supply of the products may be significantly delayed because of events outside our control;
        • 6.1.2.4 we have suspended supply of the products for technical reasons, or notify you we are going to suspend them for technical reasons; or
        • 6.1.2.5 you have a legal right to end the contract because of something we have done wrong.

Your rights are set out in more detail in this clause 6 below.

    • 6.1.3 If you have just changed your mind about the products (exercising your right to change your mind under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013):
      • 6.1.3.1 For single deliveries. You have 14 days, starting from the day after the day you (or someone you nominate) receives the products, to change your mind; or
      • 6.1.3.2 For several split deliveries over different days. You have 14 days after the day you (or someone you nominate) receives the last delivery to change your mind.

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 may have to pay the costs of return of any products. Your rights are set out in more detail in this clause 6 below.

    • 6.2 In all other cases (ending the contract where we are not at fault and there is no right to change your mind). If you do not have any other rights to end the contract you can still contact us before it is completed and tell us you want to end it. A contract for the products is completed when the product is delivered and paid for. If you do this the contract will end immediately and we will refund any sums paid by you for products not provided but we may deduct from that refund (or, if you have not made an advance payment, charge you) reasonable compensation for the net costs we will incur as a result of your ending the contract. Your rights are set out in more detail in this clause 6 below.
    • 6.3 When you don't have the right to change your mind. You do not have a right to change your mind in respect of:
      • 6.3.1 products that have been assembled;
      • 6.3.2 personalised products.
    • 6.4 How to cancel: To end the contract with us, please let us know by doing one of the following:
      • 6.4.1 Phone or email. Call Blok Support on 01268 740580 or email us at blok@monitoraudio.com. Please provide your name, home address, details of the order and, where available, your phone number and email address.
      • 6.4.2 Online. Complete the form on our website.
    • 6.5 Returning products after ending the contract. If you end the contract for any reason after the products have been dispatched to you or you have received them, you must return them to us or allow us to collect them from you at our expense. In order to qualify for our free returns service you must:
      • 6.5.1 contact Blok Support on 01268 740580 or email us at blok@monitoraudio.com;
      • 6.5.2 request an authorisation number;

We will notify you when you contact us if you do not qualify for our free returns service. If you do not qualify, you must post the products back to us or allow us to collect them from you. If you are exercising your right to change your mind you must send off the products within 14 days of telling us you wish to end the contract.

  • 6.6 When we will pay the costs of return. We will pay the costs of return:
    • 6.6.1 if the return qualifies for our free returns service – please see Clause 6.5;
    • 6.6.2 if the products are faulty or misdescribed; or
    • 6.6.3 if you are ending the contract because we have told you of an upcoming change to the products or these terms, an error in pricing or description, a delay in delivery due to events outside our control or because you have a legal right to do so as a result of something we have done wrong.

In all other circumstances (including where you are exercising your right to change your mind) you must pay the costs of return.

  • 6.7 When your refund will be made. We will make any refunds due to you as soon as possible. If you are exercising your right to change your mind then:
    • 6.7.1 If we are not collecting them, your refund will be made within 14 days from the day on which we receive the products back from you or, if earlier, the day on which you provide us with evidence that you have sent the products back to us.
    • 6.7.2 In all other cases, your refund will be made within 14 days of your telling us you have changed your mind.
  • 6.8 How we will refund you. If you are entitled to a refund under these terms we will refund you the price you paid for the products including delivery costs, by the method you used for payment. However, we may make deductions from the price, as described below.
  • 6.9 Deductions from refunds. If you are exercising your right to change your mind:
    • 6.9.1 We may reduce your refund of the price (excluding delivery costs) to reflect any reduction in the value of the products, if this has been caused by your handling them in a way which would not be permitted in a shop. 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.
    • 6.9.2 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 products within 3-5 days at one cost but you choose to have the products delivered within 24 hours at a higher cost, then we will only refund what you would have paid for the cheaper delivery option.

However please see clause 11.3 for what happens if we discover an error in the price of the product you order.
      • 11.2 We will pass on changes in the rate of VAT. If the rate of VAT changes between your order date and the date we supply the product, we will adjust the rate of VAT that you pay, unless you have already paid for the product in full before the change in the rate of VAT takes effect.
      • 11.3 What happens if we got the price wrong. It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the products we sell may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices before accepting your order so that, where the product's correct price 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 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 unmistakeable and could reasonably have been recognised 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.

These phone numbers may be obtained from sources other than the order itself.
        • 12.6.5 an unauthorised credit/debit card charge back after an order has been placed is chargeback abuse, even if you are the owner of the card, it is theft and still fraud.

        • 12.6.6 we accept only the credit/debit cards mentioned on the product ordering screens as the payment options for your purchase. All prices are in British Pounds (£) (GBP) and stated on your invoice in British Pounds unless otherwise noted.
