3. Service information

The Footprint Hub designs, coordinates and supplies personalised goods made to your definitive, medically prescribed instructions. We have established design-production workflow protocol that requires all designs to be approved for manufacture before they progress. Once the design has been approved, you (the customer) are responsible for the appropriateness of the product for fit, purpose and all incurred costs of design, production and delivery of that service & product(s).

4. Right to cancel

4.1 – Exceptions to the right to cancel

RG Commercial AB adheres to legal conditions that specifically apply to personalised products as described in section 13(1)(c) of the UK distance selling regulations. It is important to note that the customised nature of the products that we supply indicates that commonly understood online purchasing rights do not apply. Please refer to UK Distance Selling Regulations for further information.

Specifically section 13(1)(c) :

  • 13. (1) Unless the parties have agreed otherwise, the consumer will not have the right to cancel the contract by giving notice of cancellation pursuant to regulation 10 in respect of contracts:
    • (c) for the supply of goods made to the consumer’s specifications or clearly personalised or which by reason of their nature cannot be returned or are liable to deteriorate or expire rapidly;
RG Commercial AB does not accept returns for the supply of goods made to your specifications, or clearly personalised, or which by reason of their nature cannot be returned or are liable to deteriorate or expire rapidly.

This is commonly in contrast to what people understand when buying products online which are typically those products that are mass produced to a single design and/or can be used by anyone with similar features. The Footprint Hub designs, manufactures and supplies personalised goods made to your definitive, medically prescribed instructions. These are expressly not mass produced and do not attract the same legal right of return.

Prefabricated Prescription products, if prescribed and/or modified to suit also fall under the supply of goods made to your specifications and are considered as clearly personalised. Your rights are not affected.

4.2 – Right to cancel orders of non-personalised goods

All customers have the right to cancel their orders of non-personalised products under the The Distance Selling Regulations. These regulations give consumers extra protection when buying online.

Customers have the right to cancel the purchase of a non-customised or clearly non-personalised good without having to give a reason at any time within the “cooling off period” of seven working days, beginning on the day after you receive the goods.

If you are in possession of the goods you are under the duty to retain them and take reasonable care of them. You must send the goods back to us to our contact address at your own cost (unless we delivered the item to you in error or the item is damaged or defective) as soon as possible once you have cancelled the contract.

We reserve the right to make a charge not exceeding our direct costs of recovering the goods if you do not return the goods or return them at our expense. Once you have notified us that you wish to cancel the contract, any sum debited to us will be refunded to you as soon as possible and in any event within 30 days of your cancellation. You will not have any right to cancel a purchase for the supply of any of the following goods:

  • for the supply of goods the price of which is dependent on fluctuations in the financial market which cannot be controlled by the retailer.
  • for the supply of good made to your specifications or clearly personalised or which by reason of their nature cannot be returned or are liable to deteriorate or expire rapidly.
  • for the supply of audio or video recordings or computer software if they are unsealed by you.
  • for the supply of newspapers, periodicals or magazines.
  • for gaming, betting or lottery services.

5. Notices

All notices you send us must be sent to the contact details on this site (Contact Us). We may give notice to you at either the email or postal address you provide to us when making a purchase. (Notice will be deemed received and properly served 24 hours after an email is sent or three days after the date of posting of any letter).

In providing the service of any notice, it will be sufficient to prove, in the case of a letter, that the letter was properly addressed, stamped and placed in the post and, in the case of an email that the email was sent to the specified email address of the addressee’s.

6. Conclusion

These terms are governed by English law. Any contract for the purchase of goods from this site and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with any such contract will be governed by English law. You and we both agree that the courts of England and Wales will have non-exclusive jurisdiction.
