If you do not receive a message from Upgraders confirming receipt of your order, please contact our customer service department at contact@upgraders.com before re-entering your order. Upgraders’ confirmation of receipt of your order does not constitute Upgraders’ acceptance of your order.

You must notify us of your intention to cancel the order in writing and you must return the item to us by recorded delivery at your expense within 14 days of receipt.

It is your duty to take all reasonable care of any items to be returned, including their packaging, up until the time we receive them back from you. Any damage will result in us being unable to refund part or all of the money you have paid. YOU CANNOT RETURN ITEMS WHICH YOU HAVE OPENED AND/OR STARTED TO USE. ANY PRODUCT YOU RETURN MUST BE IN THE SAME CONDITION YOU RECEIVED IT AND IN THE ORIGINAL PACKAGING.

Damaged Goods. Goods which arrive with minor damage will be replaced (or a credit provided) if there is a reasonable chance that they will be adversely affected by that damage. This can apply to part of an order only. If for instance an order contains multiple items and some are damaged, we will undertake to provide a credit for the damaged items only. If you would prefer not to accept the whole order then you can return it to us, but you will be responsible for the cost of that return.

PRODUCT SUBSCRIPTION

Subscription Renewal. By signing up for a subscription, your subscription will automatically renew on the first day following the end of such subscription period indicated on your order and continue for an additional period equal to the number of days of your initial subscription period, at our price for such subscription, plus applicable shipping and taxes. You agree that your account will be subject to this automatic renewal feature unless you defer your next order or cancel your subscription. 

Subscription Cancellation. You can cancel at any time from your account page, until the day your next subscription period begins to prevent renewal charges but you will not receive a refund for the remainder of your then-current subscription period. If you choose to cancel your subscription at any time, your subscription will no longer renew and we will not charge your payment provider for the subsequent subscription period. 

Subscription Fees. By subscribing, you authorise us to charge your payment provider for your initial subscription period, and again at the beginning of any subsequent subscription renewal period for the fees agreed upon. Your charges may change if we change our pricing – in such case we will notify you in advance. Upon renewal of your subscription, if we do not receive payment from your payment provider, (a) you agree to pay all amounts due on your account upon demand and/or (b) you agree that Upgraders may either terminate or suspend your subscription and continue to attempt to charge your payment provider until payment is received (upon receipt of payment, your account will be activated and for purposes of automatic renewal, your new subscription commitment period will begin as of the day payment was received).

FEES AND PAYMENTS

Prices and Fees. We reserve our right to change our prices, fees, charges and billing methods, either immediately upon posting on the Site or by e-mail delivery to you, at any time at our discretion. 

Payment. You agree to pay all fees and other charges applicable to your order, subscription and/or your Account in accordance with the fees, charges and billing terms in effect at the time a fee or charge is due and payable. Information on the specific fees is available on the Site. 

Payment Method. You must provide us with a valid payment method as a condition for purchasing the products and/or signing up for a subscription. Your payment provider agreement governs your use of the designated debit or credit card or account, and you must refer to that agreement to determine your rights and liabilities. By providing Upgraders with your  payment method and associated payment information, you agree that We are authorised to immediately invoice yourself for all fees and charges due and payable hereunder and that no additional notice or consent is required. If we are unable to complete the transaction, we may cancel your order, contact you directly to update your account information or obtain updated information from your issuing bank, card network or our payment processor. You agree we may continue to charge your payment method following any such update. We are not responsible for any fees or charges that your bank or credit card issuer may apply. 

Delivery Costs. For avoidance of doubt, prices shown on the Site exclude the cost of delivery. Delivery costs will be added to the cost of your order and will be displayed on screen before you confirm your order to us. 

Taxes. You may be charged tax, if applicable. You agree to pay all applicable taxes.

Customs Charges and Other Fees. Before your package can be released to you for delivery, you may have to pay customs charges and any import fees before your local postal service releases your package. Please be aware that we do not collect these charges and that it is your responsibility to pay these fees to your local agency. For more information or an estimate, please contact your local customs office.

Third Party Provider. We use a third-party service provider for payment services (e.g., credit card transaction processing, merchant settlement, and related services). You hereby consent to provide and authorise us and our third-party service provider to share any information and payment instructions you provide to the extent required to complete payment transactions in accordance with these Terms of Use. Upon initial registration of your credit or debit card, you may see a pending charge as part of the authorisation confirmation process. This is not a charge and is used to confirm account authenticity. The pending charge should automatically clear on its own.

You are solely responsible for any and all access and use of your Account Information and all purchases and activities that occur under or in connection with the Account, whether or not such access to and use of the Site is actually authorised by you. If someone accesses our Site using your Account Information, we will rely on that Account Information and will assume that it is you who is accessing the Site. We have no obligation to investigate the authorisation or source of any such access or use of the Site. Please notify us immediately if you become aware that your Account Information is being used without authorisation, or any other breach or threatened breach of this Site’s security.

PURCHASE OF PRODUCTS

Products. The availability of the products described on the Site, and the descriptions of such products, may vary based on location and timing.  Any samples, pictures or advertising produced by us and any illustrations contained on the Site or brochures are produced for the sole purpose of giving an approximate idea of the goods referred to in them. They shall not form part of this Agreement  nor have any contractual force.

Order Acceptance. Each part of any order that you submit to Upgraders constitutes an offer to purchase. If you do not receive a message from Upgraders confirming receipt of your order, please contact our customer service department at contact@upgraders.com before re-entering your order. Upgraders’ confirmation of receipt of your order does not constitute Upgraders’ acceptance of your order. Upgraders is only deemed to have accepted your order once the product(s) you ordered have been handed over to the designated carrier. The risk of loss and title for items purchased by you passes to you upon our delivery of the items to the carrier.

Order Issues. We reserve the right to cancel any order or refuse any purchase made through our Site at our discretion.

No Resale. All purchases of products and services through the Site are for personal, non-commercial use only and you agree not to resell products without expressed written consent from Upgraders. The sale or linking of our products on or to any third party e-commerce website, marketplace or mobile application without our specific written consent is expressly prohibited.

International Shipping. We make no guarantees that we will be able to ship to you if you reside outside the United Kingdom. Please contact us at contact@upgraders.com if you have any questions about whether we ship to your location. 

Returns. You are entitled to cancel an order without a particular reason and receive a full refund, including the minimum possible costs of postage (for us shipping the order to you), for any items you order up to 14 calendar days after you receive the item from us. You must notify us of your intention to cancel the order in writing and you must return the item to us by recorded delivery at your expense within 14 days of receipt. You are responsible for the cost to return the item to us. We will refund your money after the receipt of a returned item. It is your duty to take all reasonable care of any items to be returned, including their packaging, up until the time we receive them back from you. Any damage will result in us being unable to refund part or all of the money you have paid. YOU CANNOT RETURN ITEMS WHICH YOU HAVE OPENED AND/OR STARTED TO USE. ANY PRODUCT YOU RETURN MUST BE IN THE SAME CONDITION YOU RECEIVED IT AND IN THE ORIGINAL PACKAGING.

Damaged Goods. Goods which arrive with minor damage will be replaced (or a credit provided) if there is a reasonable chance that they will be adversely affected by that damage. This can apply to part of an order only. If for instance an order contains multiple items and some are damaged, we will undertake to provide a credit for the damaged items only. If you would prefer not to accept the whole order then you can return it to us, but you will be responsible for the cost of that return.

PRODUCT SUBSCRIPTION

Subscription Renewal. By signing up for a subscription, your subscription will automatically renew on the first day following the end of such subscription period indicated on your order and continue for an additional period equal to the number of days of your initial subscription period, at our price for such subscription, plus applicable shipping and taxes. You agree that your account will be subject to this automatic renewal feature unless you defer your next order or cancel your subscription. 

Subscription Cancellation. You can cancel at any time from your account page, until the day your next subscription period begins to prevent renewal charges but you will not receive a refund for the remainder of your then-current subscription period. If you choose to cancel your subscription at any time, your subscription will no longer renew and we will not charge your payment provider for the subsequent subscription period. 

Subscription Fees. By subscribing, you authorise us to charge your payment provider for your initial subscription period, and again at the beginning of any subsequent subscription renewal period for the fees agreed upon. Your charges may change if we change our pricing – in such case we will notify you in advance. Upon renewal of your subscription, if we do not receive payment from your payment provider, (a) you agree to pay all amounts due on your account upon demand and/or (b) you agree that Upgraders may either terminate or suspend your subscription and continue to attempt to charge your payment provider until payment is received (upon receipt of payment, your account will be activated and for purposes of automatic renewal, your new subscription commitment period will begin as of the day payment was received).

FEES AND PAYMENTS

Prices and Fees. We reserve our right to change our prices, fees, charges and billing methods, either immediately upon posting on the Site or by e-mail delivery to you, at any time at our discretion. 

Payment. You agree to pay all fees and other charges applicable to your order, subscription and/or your Account in accordance with the fees, charges and billing terms in effect at the time a fee or charge is due and payable. Information on the specific fees is available on the Site. 

Payment Method. You must provide us with a valid payment method as a condition for purchasing the products and/or signing up for a subscription. Your payment provider agreement governs your use of the designated debit or credit card or account, and you must refer to that agreement to determine your rights and liabilities. By providing Upgraders with your  payment method and associated payment information, you agree that We are authorised to immediately invoice yourself for all fees and charges due and payable hereunder and that no additional notice or consent is required. If we are unable to complete the transaction, we may cancel your order, contact you directly to update your account information or obtain updated information from your issuing bank, card network or our payment processor. You agree we may continue to charge your payment method following any such update. We are not responsible for any fees or charges that your bank or credit card issuer may apply. 

Delivery Costs. For avoidance of doubt, prices shown on the Site exclude the cost of delivery. Delivery costs will be added to the cost of your order and will be displayed on screen before you confirm your order to us. 

Taxes. You may be charged tax, if applicable. You agree to pay all applicable taxes.

Customs Charges and Other Fees. Before your package can be released to you for delivery, you may have to pay customs charges and any import fees before your local postal service releases your package. Please be aware that we do not collect these charges and that it is your responsibility to pay these fees to your local agency. For more information or an estimate, please contact your local customs office.

Third Party Provider. We use a third-party service provider for payment services (e.g., credit card transaction processing, merchant settlement, and related services). You hereby consent to provide and authorise us and our third-party service provider to share any information and payment instructions you provide to the extent required to complete payment transactions in accordance with these Terms of Use. Upon initial registration of your credit or debit card, you may see a pending charge as part of the authorisation confirmation process. This is not a charge and is used to confirm account authenticity. The pending charge should automatically clear on its own.
