You will need to make the Product(s) available to us without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days after the day on which you have given notice of your cancellation.
8.1.2. Please note that if your order includes Cylinder Gas, and you cancel the Contract, either under the fourteen-day period as set out in paragraph 7, or for any other reason (e.g. defective Products), the collection of the Cylinder will be at a different time, and possibly a different day, to the collection of any other Product(s) that you are returning.

(b)if we ask you to post the Product(s) back to us using the pre-paid envelope, no later than 14 days of us receiving either the Products or proof that they have been returned (whichever is the sooner).
8.3.2. We will refund the price that you paid for the Product in full, including any costs of standard delivery. If you have selected a different delivery option, we will only refund up to the amount of our usual standard delivery costs. You should take reasonable care of the Product(s) while they are in your possession as we have the right to make a deduction from any refund due to you if the Product(s) are not returned in a reasonable condition. In particular, we reserve the right to deduct a sum from the refund of the price for the Product(s) to reflect the reduced value of the Product(s) if the Product(s) have been handled more than is necessary (i.e. in a way which would not be permitted in a shop).
8.4. If the Product is faulty or defective
8.4.1. If the Product is faulty or defective, you should contact us by sending us an email to shop@calor.co.uk or by telephone on 0800 1814512. If you contact us by email, our first action will be to call you on the phone number in your order to discuss the issue with you. We will examine the returned faulty or defective Product(s) and notify you within a reasonable time by telephone or by email if you are entitled to a refund. We will process the refund for defective or faulty Product(s) as soon as possible and in any event within 14 days of us agreeing that you are entitled to a refund.
8.4.2. If you exercise your “short-term right to reject” the faulty or defective Product(s) within 30 days of delivery (see paragraph 7.4), we will refund to you the full price of the faulty or defective Product(s) including any delivery changes. We may ask you for evidence that the defect or fault was there at the time of delivery or further information about the defect or fault.
8.4.3. If you exercise your “final right” to a refund (having requested a repair or replacement and this having been unsuccessful – see paragraph 7.5(b)):
(a) within 6 months of the date of delivery- we will refund to you the full price of the defective or faulty Product(s) including any delivery charges. In such circumstances we will assume the defect or fault was there as at the time of delivery unless it is obvious that this is not the case; or
(b) after 6 months from the date of delivery- we will refund to you the price of the defective or faulty Product(s) but this may be reduced to take into account any use you have had from the defective or faulty Product(s). In such circumstances we may require you to prove that the defect or fault was there at the time of delivery.
9. » AVAILABILITY AND DELIVERY
9.1. Products are subject to availability. In the event we are unable to supply the Products, for example because that Product is not in stock or no longer available, we will telephone or email you as soon as possible (and no more than 48 hours following receipt of your order) and we will not process your order. If possible, we will give you the option of continuing with your order with a longer delivery lead time or continuing with part of your order. A full refund will be given as soon as reasonably possible by the same method in which the payment was originally made, where you have already paid for any Product(s) which cannot be supplied.
9.2. Deliveries are restricted to mainland Great Britain. You may place an order for Product(s) from outside mainland Great Britain, but this order must be for delivery to an address in mainland Great Britain.
9.3. Our aim is to deliver the Products to you within the times displayed on the Site for the Product. If we cannot deliver the Products within the time shown, we will contact you by either telephone or e-mail to provide you with a revised estimate.
9.4. Products will be dispatched by one of our fulfilment agents or, in the case of Cylinder Gas, either by us or an authorised Calor Gas retailer. Important: where your order is for more than one Product, please note that we use different fulfilment agents across our range of products. Due to the need to comply with health and safety legislation relating to the transport of gas cylinders, these may be delivered by a separate delivery vehicle therefore, we are unable to guarantee that all the items in your order will be delivered at the same time, or on the same day.
9.5. Time for delivery shall not be of the essence. This shall not affect any rights which you may have as a consumer.
9.6. Delivery will be made to the address specified by you when you place your order. This must be an address within mainland Great Britain. Please note that for safety reasons, deliveries are not made to flats which are above four stories and we do not deliver to basement storeys in any circumstances. Please note that deliveries to flats of up to four stories are only permitted if the flats are of traditional build (to be determined in our reasonable opinion). Without affecting any other rights which we may have we will cancel the Contract if the delivery address is to a flat above four stories or is of non-traditional build, or to a basement storey.
9.7. You must ensure that someone is available to take delivery of the Products (see paragraph 9.4 above about multiple deliveries). You must also ensure that suitable access is available for the purpose of delivery of the Products. If you fail to take delivery of the Products or fail to ensure that suitable access is available for the purpose of the delivery then we will attempt to redeliver the Products at another time.
9.8. It is your responsibility to arrange inspection of the Products immediately upon delivery. You will be required to confirm receipt of the Products by signing a delivery note when taking delivery. However, your inspection of the Products and your confirmation of receipt does not affect any rights you may have if the Products are defective on delivery.
9.9. Any delivery charges will be clearly marked on our Site and at the checkout and added to your order.
10. » RISK AND TITLE
10.1. The Products will be at your risk and responsibility from the time of delivery. Delivery will be completed when we deliver the Products to the address you gave us and you (or a person you have identified) have taken physical possession of the Products.
10.2. Ownership of the Products will only pass to you when we receive full payment of all sums due in respect of the Products, including any delivery charges, but note that ownership of Cylinders always remains with Calor – see paragraph 6.2.
11. » PRICE AND PAYMENT
11.1. The price of any Products will be as quoted on our Site. We use our best efforts to ensure that the prices of Products are correct at the time when the relevant information was entered on the system. However, if we discover an error in the price of Product(s) you ordered, please see paragraph 11.5 below.
11.2. Prices on our Site include VAT (where applicable) at the applicable current rate chargeable in the UK for the time being. However, 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.
11.3. Prices of Products quoted on our Site do not include delivery charges or any cylinder refill. Our delivery charges and cylinder refills are as set out on our Site from time to time.

(a)where a Product's correct price is less than the price stated on our Site at the time you placed your order, we will charge the lower amount when dispatching the Product to you.
(b)if a Product’s correct price is higher than the price stated on our Site at the time you placed your order, we do not have to provide the Product(s) to you at the incorrect (lower) price as the Contract between us will not yet have been formed. We will contact you as soon as possible to inform you of this error and we will give you the option of continuing to purchase the Product at the correct (higher) price or cancelling your order. We will not process your order until we have your instructions. If we are unable to contact you using the contact details you provided during the order process, we will treat the order as cancelled and notify you in writing.
11.6. Payment for all Products must be by either Apple Pay, Google Pay or credit or debit card (excluding American Express) and in pounds sterling only.

When placing an order, you confirm that the form of payment you use to make payment to us is yours and that you have authority to place the order.

12.1. Sometimes the Product specifications from the manufacturer may change, in which case we will contact you to ask for your instructions and ask you if you would like a substitute of the same or better quality at the same price. We will not process your order until we have your instructions. If we are unable to contact you using the contact details you provided during the order process, we will treat the order as cancelled and notify you in writing.

I/We hereby give notice that I/we wish to cancel my/our Contract for the purchase of the following Product(s):
……………………………………………………………….
ordered on / received on: ……………………………………………………………….
Name of consumer:
Address of consumer:
Signature of consumer (only if this form is notified on paper):
Date:
In these conditions, “Company” means Calor Gas Limited, and “CALOR Outlet” means any CALOR Centers, Dealers, Retailers, Stockists or other supply points approved by the Company. “CALOR” is the Registered Trademark of Calor Gas Limited. “Refill Agreement Charge” means the Refill Agreement Charge included in your order or where you are exchanging a cylinder this refers to the charge previously paid for the first issue of the cylinder(s). “User” means the customer named on the online order form who is party to a Cylinder Refill Agreement (“the Agreement”).
In consideration for the Refill Agreement Charge, the Company agrees to refill the Calor Cylinder(s) (“Cylinder(s)”) included in your order with supplies of CALOR gas (“Gas”) during the currency of this Agreement. The Company will fulfill its obligation to refill the Cylinder by providing the User with a pre-filled Cylinder in exchange for the empty Cylinder, but reserves the right to refill the Cylinder by any other means. A Cylinder(s) can only be exchanged for a similar replacement refill Cylinder(s) within the same category as the current Cylinder(s), otherwise a new Agreement is required. Please see our exchange policy for further details about exchanging Cylinder(s).
In entering into this Agreement the User also understands that he/she will pay additional sums at the prevailing rate for the Gas contained in the Cylinder and for all future supplies of Gas as and when the Cylinder is refilled in accordance with paragraph 1.
The company makes the cylinder(s) available to the user as a means of safely transporting and storing the gas supplied. This agreement is not a rental agreement and it does not provide the user with title in the cylinder. The user will not part with possession or control of the cylinder(s) (other than to a CALOR outlet) nor claim to have any rights that conflict with this agreement, nor create or purport or attempt to create any agency or bailment in relation to the cylinder(s) or to the user’s obligations.
Cylinders may be used only as a container for Gas and not be sold, exchanged (other than for the Purpose of the Agreement), hired, assigned, transferred, mortgaged, lent, abandoned, nor damaged, decanted, filled or tampered with.
The User is liable for the safe storage and use of Cylinder(s) and the safety of any equipment used with them but the Company may inspect or test Cylinder(s) and any fittings used with them at any time and remove and replace Cylinder(s) if defective, or for any other reason, but without the Company being under any obligation to do so. In any case of wilful damage or breach of this Agreement the Company may repossess Cylinder(s) immediately and the User by entering into this Agreement irrevocably authorises the Company or their agent to enter on the User’s property for these purposes and in that event this Agreement is terminated. The Company may charge the User for loss of use of a Cylinder, in the event of loss or damage to the Cylinder but this charge shall not give the User any rights in the Cylinder. Unless the Company, at its discretion, decides otherwise, the User will forfeit any rights or benefits conferred upon this by this Agreement.
The Company will comply with all statutory and appropriate Code of Practice requirements in respect of Cylinders but this shall not mean that the Company has any obligation to maintain in good condition Cylinders which ate in the User’s possession.
This agreement remains in force for 50 years. The User may terminate this agreement by returning the Cylinder(s) in good order to a CALOR outlet nominated for this purpose and shall be entitled on presenting this agreement to a refund of a proportion of the Refill Agreement Charge as follows:
| Number of years from date of
this agreement within which a Cylinder is returned (and not exchanged for a
replacement Cylinder). |
1 | 2 |
| Percentage of Refill Agreement Charge charged on this agreement which will be refunded: | 50% | 25% |
This Agreement may be terminated by the Company in the event of any act of insolvency or breach of this Agreement on the part of the User.
Where a Cylinder is to be delivered to the User the Company may use an agent for this purpose.
This Agreement is governed by and constructed in accordance with English Law. VAT and any other applicable taxes will be charged at the appropriate rates.

You will be charged on the basis of the Gas filled replacement Cylinder(s). For more details on charging, see clause 7 below.
