Information about us and customer services

1. We are Play Sports Network Limited and the Sites are operated by us.  We are trading as the Global Cycling Network, Global Mountain Bike Network, Global Triathlon Network and the Electric Mountain Bike Network from the Sites (respectively).  We are registered in England with number 08265494 and our registered office is at Chiswick Park Building 2, 566 Chiswick High Road, London W4 5YB.  Our main trading address is 30 Monmouth Street, Bath BA1 2AP.  Our VAT registration number is GB439 2115 05. Play Sports Network Limited shall be referred throughout these Terms as “we", “us” or “our".
2. You can contact our Customer Services Team by email at shop@globalcyclingnetwork.com, shop@gmbn.com, shop@globaltrinetwork or shop@embn.com depending on which of the Sites you are using, if you have any questions about our Products or orders you have placed with us.

How the contract is formed between you and us 

1. You must be aged 18 years (or the age of majority in your territory of residence if more than 18 years old) or more to purchase any Product from the Sites.

1. You may place an order to purchase a Product advertised for sale on the Sites by following the onscreen prompts after clicking on the item you are interested in. You will have an opportunity to check and correct any input errors in your order up until the point at which you submit your order by clicking the “Pay Now” button on the “Checkout” page.
2. After placing an order, you will receive an e-mail from us acknowledging that we have received your order and giving an order number and a summary of your order. Please note that this does not mean that your order has been accepted. Your order constitutes an offer to us to buy a Product. All orders are subject to acceptance by us, and we will confirm our acceptance to you by sending you an e-mail that confirms that the Product has been dispatched (Dispatch Confirmation). The contract between us will only be formed when we send you the Dispatch Confirmation (referred to in these Terms as the contract).
3. The contract will relate only to those Products listed in the Dispatch Confirmation. We will not be obliged to supply any other Products which may have been part of your order until such Products have been confirmed in a Dispatch Confirmation.
4. If we are unable to supply you with a Product, we will inform you of this by e-mail and we will not process your order. We might be unable to supply you with a Product because that Product is not in stock or is no longer available due to unexpected limits on our resources which we could not reasonably plan for, if there is a problem with authorisation of the payment card you have provided, or because we cannot meet your requested delivery date.  If you have already paid for the Product, we will refund you the full amount including any delivery costs charged as soon as possible.

Our Products

1. The images of the Products on the Sites are for illustrative purposes only.  Although we have made every effort to display the colours accurately, we cannot guarantee that your device’s display of the colours accurately reflect the colour of the Products. Your Products may vary slightly from those images. 
2. The packaging of the Products may vary from that shown in images on the Sites.
3. Certain Products on the Sites are printed on demand following acceptance of an order (Print on Demand) and shall be identified as Print on Demand on the Product’s webpage. General information relating to Print on Demand can be found here: https://shop.globalcyclingnetwork.com/pages/print-on-demand

Delivery

1. We will deliver the Products to you in accordance with the delivery option specified by you when you placed your order (e.g. express, first class or economy).  We are unable to track orders sent by first class or economy.
2. We will endeavour to deliver all Products comprised in your order in one delivery, but Print on Demand items will be dispatched separately. We will deliver directly to the delivery address specified in your order. We cannot deliver items within the same order to multiple addresses. Deliveries will be made to your door. We are not responsible for any additional carrying or positioning of Products ordered unless we have not complied with instructions that you have given to us and we have agreed to at the time of accepting your order.
3. The UK delivery options for Products are available on this page: https://shop.globalcyclingnetwork.com/pages/delivery-information

International Delivery

1. We deliver to the countries listed on this page https://shop.globalcyclingnetwork.com/delivery-information (International Delivery Destinations).  However there are restrictions on some Products for certain International Delivery Destinations, so please review the information on that page carefully before ordering Products. 
2. If you order Products from our site for delivery to one of the International Delivery Destinations, your order may be subject to import duties and taxes which are applied when the delivery reaches that destination.  
3. You will be responsible for payment of any such import duties and taxes.  Please contact your local customs office for further information before placing your order.
4. You must comply with all applicable laws and regulations of the country for which the Products are destined.   We will not be responsible if you break any such law.
5. For international deliveries, we aim to have Products delivered within 3-7 business days. We will do our best to let you know of any revised delivery periods. 

Other matters relating to delivery

1. Orders placed after midday (Monday to Friday) will ship the next business day except for Print on Demand Products which may take 3-5 days to be dispatched. 
2. Please note we do not dispatch orders on the weekend or on UK public holidays.
3. All orders are sent via a courier of our choice, and we may change the couriers we use without notice, although the level of service will always be equivalent.  Standard shipments will be sent via Royal Mail and Express Orders will normally be sent via DPD.  International orders will be sent via Royal Mail, DPD or DHL Express.
4. Orders placed after midday on Friday will either be shipped on the following Monday, or for Print on Demand Products, processed on the following Monday. Please note, all first orders that are going to a separate delivery address, may take longer to process. We advise that all first orders should go to your Billing or Business address.
5. If you are away from the delivery address our courier will put a card through your door allowing you to re-book a delivery with the courier or allowing you to pick up the order from a depot or sorting office. The courier may give you options relating to your delivery, including attempting to deliver to a nearby neighbour, rather than redelivering the next day.
6. We reserve the right to charge the full shipping fee applicable to resend if the Product is returned to us because the customer could not take delivery for any reason.
7. Courier returned Products will be added back into our stock and your account credited with the order total, minus the fee the courier charges us to deliver the Products back to us. You will have to re-place the order to have the Products re-shipped. If you require a refund on Products returned by the courier this will be done minus the courier’s fee.

Product delivery errors (UK and International)

1. Delivery errors must be reported within 14 days of the date of delivery. All orders are checked and double checked before leaving our warehouse. If you are a UK customer and you have not received your order within 14 days of the date that the Products are dispatched to you, then you must notify us on the next working day. If you are an EU customer and you have not received your order within 30 days of the date that the Products are dispatched to you, then you must notify us on the next working day If you notify us after this period then we will not be responsible for the Products, and we may not be able to trace the parcel if it lost or stolen.
2. If you have received your parcel in poor condition/damaged or have items missing, you must keep all outer packaging so that the courier can collect the box for their investigation.  Any damaged boxes must be signed for as ‘damaged’ at delivery. Where possible sign with the word ‘damaged and your name’ in the signature box.  You may be asked to send us photos of the damaged packaging and / or Product. Photographic evidence helps us ensure the issue is dealt with quickly and efficiently.
3. If you input any incorrect address details on your order, which causes the Products to be delivered incorrectly, we will not be held responsible for Products and you will have to try and retrieve the Products yourself at your own cost.

Risk and Ownership

1. Once delivered, the Products will become your responsibility and, except in relation to Products that are: 
1. damaged or faulty when delivered; 
2. do not conform to the description given on the Sites; or
3. subject to paragraph 7.3, incorrectly delivered, 

we will not be responsible for their loss, damage or destruction after Products have been delivered.

1. Ownership of the Products will pass to you when:
1. We have received full payment of all sums due in respect of the Products (including delivery charges); and
2. the Products have been delivered to you.

Price and Payment

1. The price of any Products will be as quoted on the Sites from time to time, except in cases of obvious error (please see further paragraph 9.8).
2. The prices quoted on the Sites include VAT (where applicable) but exclude delivery costs, which will be added to the total amount due once you have selected a delivery service from the available options.  Orders placed from countries outside of the EU are not subject to VAT. Our delivery charges are as advised to you during the checkout process, before you confirm your order. To check relevant delivery charges, please refer to sections 4. Delivery, 5. International Delivery, 6. Other matters relating to delivery and 7. Product delivery errors (UK and International) above for further information.
3. Prices might change at any time, but changes will not affect your order if we have already sent you a Dispatch Confirmation, unless the rate of VAT changes between the date we send you the Dispatch Confirmation and the date the Products are delivered to you.  If the rate of VAT changes between the date of your order and the date of delivery, we will adjust the VAT you pay, unless you have already paid for the Products in full before the change in VAT takes effect.
4. Payment can be made by most major credit or debit cards, by completing the relevant details within the “Billing Information” section of the "Checkout" page. We also accept payment by PayPal.
5. By using a credit/debit card to pay for your order, you confirm that the payment card being used is yours.  All payment card holders are subject to validation checks and authorisation by the card issuer.  If your card issuer refuses to authorise payment we will not accept your order and we will not be responsible to you for any delay or non-delivery of the Products.  If your payment card is refused by the card issuer, we are not obliged to inform you of the reason for the refusal.  We are not responsible to you if your card issuer or bank charges you as a result of us processing your payment card in accordance with your order.
6. If you make a payment by PayPal you will also be subject to the terms and conditions imposed by PayPal.
7. Payment for the Products ordered will be processed using your chosen payment method at the time that we issue you with the Dispatch Confirmation for your Products.
8. The Sites contain a large number of Products and it is always possible that some of the Products listed on the Sites may be incorrectly priced. We will rectify pricing errors as soon as possible after we become aware of them. If a Product's correct price is different from the price stated on the Sites, we will normally, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before dispatching the Product, or reject your order and notify you where a pricing error is obvious and unmistakable and could reasonably have been recognised by you as a mispricing.

Our cancellation, returns and refund policy applicable to all UK orders

1. If you are a consumer, you have a legal right to cancel your contract with us from the date we send you the Dispatch Confirmation until 14 days after the day on which you receive your Products.  This applies to non-customised Products only. For example, if we provide you with a Dispatch Confirmation on 2 January and you receive the Products on 10 January you may cancel any time between 2 January and 24 January.  You will lose your legal right to cancel your contract with us if you use the Products. Unfortunately we are not able to offer any returns or refunds for:
1. Customised Products, unless they are faulty (see further paragraph 10.10 below);
2. Products sealed for health protection or hygiene purposes, once these have been unsealed after you receive them; and
3. Any Products which become mixed inseparably with other items after their delivery.
2. To cancel your order, you need to let us know that you have decided to cancel.  The easiest way to do this is to email us at shop@globalcyclingnetwork.com, shop@gmbn.com, shop@globaltrinetwork or shop@embn.com depending on which of the Sites you are using, with your order number and your request to cancel the order and whether you would like to exchange the item for a different size or receive a refund. We will email you to confirm we have received your cancellation. 
3. If you decide to cancel your order after you have received the Dispatch Confirmation, you will also need to wait to receive the Products and then return them to us. You do this by completing a model cancellation form (see clause 10.4 below) and writing “RETURNS” on the packaging and your order number clearly labelled on the outside of the packaging, e.g. 'RETURNS #100000111'. Returns should be posted to our distribution office at c/o Green Snow Ltd, Unit 15-17, Mortimers Industrial Estate Romsey Road, Ower, Romsey, Hampshire, England, SO51 6AF within 14 days of you telling us that you wish to cancel your order. You should use a method of postage that ensures the security of the contents during transit of the Products back to us. We cannot be held responsible for exchange or refund if reasonable steps are not taken by you in this regard. For UK customers we recommend using My Hermes for returns as they offer a very low cost trackable service with most items costing under £3.00 and even cheaper if you use one of their 3000 drop off shops across the UK. 
4. A model cancellation form for UK customers is included at the end of these terms (at Schedule 1)  
5. You will be responsible for the return postage costs unless we have offered free returns and provided means for you to return the Product at our cost.  We will pay the return postage costs:
1. if the products are faulty, damaged, incorrect or misdescribed; or
2. where you have a legal right to cancel the order as a result of something we have done wrong. 
6. Until such time as they are returned, you must retain possession of the Products and take reasonable care of them. You should return the Products to us unused (except to the extent reasonably necessary to examine them), and in the same condition in which you received them together with the original Product packaging and all relevant swing tags, labelling, branding and any accompanying marketing material specific to the Product.  Please note that we are permitted by law to reduce your refund to reflect any reduction in value of the Products, if this has been caused by your handling them in a way that would not be permitted in a shop. 
7. If you have selected to receive a refund as part of cancelling any order, after you cancel your order and return the Products, any sum collected by us from your payment card will be refunded in full, minus the costs of delivery. 
8. We will notify you of your refund via e-mail within a reasonable period of time. We will refund any money received from you using the same method originally used by you to pay for your purchase, unless you specifically request otherwise. Refunds for Products purchased as gifts can only be given to a payment card in the name of the person who placed the order. 
9. We will process the refund due to you as soon as we can and, in any case, not later than: 
1. 14 days after the day we receive back from you the Products; or
2. (if earlier) 14 days after the day you provide evidence that you have returned the Products to us; or
3. if we have not sent the Products to you, 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to cancel the contract with us.
10. If you have selected an exchange for a different size as part of cancelling any order, we will process this as if it were a new order for Products and the provisions of these terms will apply as if you had placed a new order for a Product.
11. If any Product you purchase is faulty, damaged, incorrect or misdescribed when delivered to you we may offer an exchange or refund (including postage costs) as appropriate, in accordance with your legal rights. If you believe a Product is faulty, damaged, incorrect or misdescribed, you should notify us by email at shop@globalcyclingnetwork.com, shop@gmbn.com, shop@globaltrinetwork or shop@embn.com depending on which of the Sites you are using, within 7 days of receiving your Product.  We will advise of the process to follow.
12. We do not offer exchanges for Print on Demand Products. If you wish to change a Print on Demand Product, you will have to return the Product back to us for a refund in accordance with these terms and place a new order.
13. If you have any questions regarding replacements or returns, please contact us at the appropriate email address shown above.
14. Our policy on cancellations, returns and refunds does not affect your mandatory legal rights.
