Contract

If you have any questions, whether about our products and services, this website or otherwise, please contact support@hobbyhero.ie.
HOW THE CONTRACT IS FORMED
After placing an order, you will receive an email from Hobby Hero acknowledging that we have received your order (the “Order Confirmation”).
Please note that this does not mean that your order has been accepted. Your order constitutes an offer to us to buy a product or service. All orders are subject to acceptance by Hobby Hero, and we will confirm such acceptance to you by sending you an email that confirms that the products have been dispatched (the ‘Dispatch Confirmation’). The contract between us (the “Contract”) will only be formed when we send you the Dispatch Confirmation. The Contract will relate only to those products whose dispatch we have confirmed in the Dispatch Confirmation.

PRICING

Whilst we try and ensure that all details, descriptions and prices which appear on this Website are accurate, errors may occur. If we discover an error in the price of any goods which you have ordered we will inform you of this as soon as possible and give you the option of reconfirming your order at the correct price or cancelling it. If we are unable to contact you, we will treat the order as cancelled. If you cancel and you have already paid for the goods, you will receive a full refund.

The prices on the Website include VAT but exclude delivery costs, which will be added to the total amount due as set out in our Delivery page. Prices are liable to change at any time, but (other than as set out above) changes will not affect orders in respect of which we have already sent you an Order Confirmation.
You may pay using Visa, MasterCard and all leading credit/debit cards, Maestro cards, Apple & Android Pay, PayPal, and Hobby Hero eVouchers amongst others. Your credit/debit card payment will be made through a secure Website – Viva Wallet. All payments are subject to authorisation by the card issuer. Card payments are subject to validation checks and authorisation by your card issuer. If your card issuer fails to authorise the payment to us, we will not be liable for any delay or non-delivery, and may not be able to form a Contract with you or we will not be able to proceed with your order. Hobby Hero must receive full payment for the order at the time the order is processed and before the product is dispatched. A Dispatch Confirmation email will then be sent you.

The Website may contain inaccuracies, typographical errors or other errors and may not always be complete or current. We therefore reserve the right to correct any errors, inaccuracies or omissions and to change or update information at any time without prior notice. We reserve the right to refuse to fulfil any orders that you may place based on information on the Website that may contain errors or inaccuracies, including, without limitation, errors, inaccuracies or out-of-date information regarding pricing, shipping, payment terms, or return policies.

PAYMENT

Upon receiving your order we carry out a standard pre-authorisation check on your payment card to ensure there are sufficient funds to fulfil the transaction. Goods will not be dispatched until this pre-authorisation check has been completed. Your card will be debited once the order has been accepted.

Order payments made by PayPal are made at the time of order confirmation.
Personal information provided during the order and registration process as a customer should be true, accurate, current and complete in all respects. If any information changes, please contact our Customer Service team or update your online account details accordingly.

COOLING OFF PERIOD & YOUR RIGHT TO CANCEL YOUR ORDER

While we would bring your attention to our Refund Policy, if you are contracting online as a consumer and are an EU resident, the EU Consumer Rights Directive provides that you may cancel a Contract at any time within 14 days, beginning on the day after you received the products.

If you have purchased products from the Website and if you decide to cancel your order pursuant to this Clause 8, the Directive provides that you must advise us within 14 days of receipt of the products. You can email Customer Services support@hobbyhero.ie stating your wish to cancel your contract and quoting your order reference number.

You must return the items to us – see Returns Policy. You will be responsible for any cost incurred or risk in returning products. You have a legal obligation to take reasonable care of the products while they are in your possession and you will be responsible for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling of the goods beyond that necessary to establish their nature, characteristics and functioning.

Under the Directive if you fail to inform us within the 14 day period you will not have a right to cancel the Contract and return the products. This does not affect your statutory rights and you may still be able to return products under our Refund Policy.

YOUR ORDER DELIVERY

Subject to availability, we will endeavour to fulfil your order for product(s) listed in the Order Confirmation within one working day, unless there are exceptional circumstances. If for any reason we cannot meet the delivery date, you will be kept informed with the extended delivery time. Once your order has been dispatched we will email you the details of your order to the email address provided.

For the purpose of these Terms, “delivery” or “delivered” shall be deemed to have occurred upon delivery of the product (s) at the address specified by you when you completed your order.
