Aria Technology Limited Consumer Terms of Sale

Please read these terms of sale carefully before placing your order and retain a copy of these terms and your order for future reference. By placing an order with Aria Technology you agree to these terms.

  1. Format of the contract
    1. These terms of sale apply to all goods supplied by Aria Technology Limited, whose registered office is at Aria House, Belle Vue Avenue, Pottery Lane, Manchester, M12 4AS, (the "Supplier").
    2. No contract exists between you and the Supplier for the sale of any goods until the Supplier has received and accepted your order and the Supplier has received payment in full (in cleared funds). Once the Supplier does so, there is a binding legal contract between us.
    3. By way of clarification, an acknowledgement of your order will be sent to you via e-mail when you place your order, but acceptance of your offer to buy the goods will not take place until after your payment is taken and you receive your acceptance e-mail. It is at this point that a binding legal contract is created and any contract is subject to these Terms and Conditions.
    4. The contract is subject to your right of cancellation (see below).
    5. The Supplier may change these terms of sale without notice to you in relation to future sales.

It is the responsibility of the buyer to ensure that the goods purchased are suitable for the purpose intended.

    8. Except as may be implied by law where the buyer is dealing as a consumer, in event of any breach of these Conditions by the Company the remedies of the buyer shall be limited to damages which shall in no circumstances exceed the price of the goods and the Company shall under no circumstances be liable for any indirect, incidental or consequential damages.
