1. INFORMATION ABOUT US

Our site is a website operated by Canon Europa N.V. (“Canon”, “we”, “our”, “us”). Canon is registered in The Netherlands under company number 33166721. Our registered office is at 59 Bovenkerkerweg, 1185 XB Amstelveen, The Netherlands. Our VAT number is GB398669467.

2. ORDERING PRODUCTS (OR SERVICES) FROM CANON

2.1 The following steps are required to order a Product or Service from any of our online stores and create a contract between you and us:
(i) You place the order for your products on the Canon Online Store by clicking the “Checkout securely” button at the end of the checkout process. You will be guided through the process of placing an order by a series of simple instructions on the website. Please note that your order is only a request for Products and will not constitute a contract until is handled and accepted by us.
(ii) You will receive an order acknowledgement message and email detailing the products you have ordered. This confirms we have received your request but is not confirmation or an order acceptance from us.
(iii) You will be able to pre order the items which are not yet in our stock, for instance new Products models which are still to arrive on the market. When checking out a pre-order we will initially authorise your card whilst not actually charging you for the order. This is because it might take a few weeks to ship your product and we don’t charge you for that product until we are ready to ship it. The third party payment platforms will be storing the payment details in a secure format for us. To ensure you have sufficient funds before shipment we’ll make sure to notify you via email a couple days before shipping the item to remind you that we’re about to charge your card for the full amount of the order. Both the order summary and the email confirmation will display the total sum of your order. If you don’t have sufficient funds on the card used when we’re due to ship your order, the order will unfortunately be cancelled.
(iv) Once your order has been processed and your Product is ready to be shipped from our warehouse we will send you a notice of dispatch by email. Order acceptance and the completion of the contract for the purchase of the Products takes place on the dispatch of the Products to you unless we have notified you that we do not accept your order, or you have cancelled it in accordance with the cancellation process. The Terms of your contract will be stored by us and you will receive a copy to the email address provided when placing your order. Please, note your Order number and date for the future references.
(v) Your credit or debit card will be charged after your order is processed for dispatch and delivered.
(vi) Once an order has been processed for dispatch we can no longer stop it or make any changes. If you do change your mind about your order after submitting your order, please await arrival and simply return the Products to us in accordance with the returns process below at Clause 7.

2.2 We may not accept orders for any of the following reasons:

(i) The product you ordered is not available in our warehouse
(ii) We have not been able to obtain authorisation for your payment
(iii) There has been an obvious pricing or product description error
(iv) Where there has been a breach of any of our Terms of Sale or other applicable terms

2.3 Contracts may be concluded with us in the language(s) displayed in our site.

2.4 Canon cannot currently issue VAT Invoices to business customers in Northern Ireland, due to the fact that Northern Ireland is considered part of the EU for VAT purposes.

2.5 Please note that we sell products only in quantities which correspond to the typical needs of an average household. This applies both to the number of products ordered within a single order and the placing of several orders for the same product where the individual orders comprise a quantity typical for a normal household.

3. ORDER CHANGES

3.1 You can cancel your order before it has been dispatched. If you have very recently placed your order and not yet received your notice of dispatch, please contact Customer Services at store.uk@cc.canon-europe.com to see whether your order can still be cancelled.

3.2 If you would like to add products to your order and it has already been dispatched, please place a new order for these items.

4.1 All orders for Products are subject to availability. We will inform you as soon as possible after receiving an order if, for any reason, the Products you have ordered are not available or are subject to any undue delay.

4.2 Whilst every effort is made to ensure the images and product descriptions on the Canon Online Store are accurate and representative of the products, the images and descriptions of the Products on our site are for illustrative purposes only and may be replaced by the current specifications of each Product. The Products that are delivered to you might vary slightly from the images and descriptions given on the Canon Online Store due to local requirements or product amendments.

4.3 All prices are displayed in the local currency of our site inclusive of VAT (where applicable) and exclusive of any delivery charges unless expressly indicated otherwise. The price of any Product may change from time to time, but changes will not affect any order we have already accepted.

4.4 We will normally verify the prices of the Products listed on our site as part of our order-handling procedure so that, where a Product's correct price is less than our stated price, we will charge the lower amount when dispatching the Product to you.

4.5 To the extent permitted by applicable law, we are under no obligation to provide the Product to you at the incorrect (lower) price, if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as an error in pricing.

6.4 Your delivery will be completed when we deliver the Products to the address provided. If no one is available to take the delivery at the given address, the delivery partner will use standard measures to try and complete delivery. Please avoid providing your building's access code to enter your premises, Canon cannot be held responsible for possible misuse of this code by third parties. If there has been an issue with the delivery of your order, an investigation will be held by our delivery partner which will take between 8-15 working days to conclude.
