All purchases of goods from the Site will be governed by these terms and conditions to the exclusion of any other terms.
By browsing the Site or submitting an order You agree to be bound by these terms and conditions.
By placing any order You acknowledge that You have not relied on any statement, warranty or representation other than those which are made in these terms and conditions, Our Privacy Policy, any order form or any payment instructions.
YOUR ACCOUNT
You accept that You are responsible for ensuring the accuracy of any information supplied by You. Failure to supply accurate, up to date personal information that results in a delay or non-delivery of Your order shall be entirely Your responsibility for which We accept no liability.
It is Your responsibility to take reasonable steps to protect Your account from unauthorised access and ensure that Your password is kept secure and confidential. Should You have reason to believe that Your password security or account has been compromised it is Your responsibility to inform Us immediately and take action to prevent further breaches via Your systems.
We reserve the right to edit or remove content from reviews, restrict or refuse access to, or terminate accounts and cancel pending orders at Our absolute discretion. Cancelled orders will not be charged.
ORDERS
When placing an order with Us, You are making an offer to purchase. We will send You an Order Confirmation email to acknowledge Your offer. Your offer is considered accepted by Us only when We despatch the goods and send You a Despatch Confirmation email. Any goods on the same order not despatched and confirmed in a Despatch Confirmation email do not form part of that contract.
We reserve the right to reject any offer at Our discretion at any time prior to acceptance. Rejected orders will be refunded in full or not charged.
Any advice or recommendation given by Us is followed or acted upon entirely at Your own risk.
The quantity, quality and description of any specifications for the goods shall be those set out in the Site. You should be aware that although all reasonable steps are taken to ensure accuracy of descriptions and images on the Site, We cannot guarantee accuracy.
We reserve the right to correct errors and omissions in any price or other information without any liability.
Goods on the Site may only be sold to persons aged 18 or over. In placing an order for any such goods, You represent and warrant that You are at least 18 years old. We reserve the right to refuse any order where satisfactory proof of age has not been provided.
It is Your responsibility to ensure that You hold any relevant qualifications from a recognised training organisation before purchase.
PAYMENT
For orders placed using a debit / credit card or PayPal we charge once the order is placed. Orders cancelled prior to despatch will be refunded in full.
Failure to collect the funds successfully may result in delayed acceptance of Your order or cancellation.
Payments will show on Your statement as either Gas Technologies Ltd
Your payment method will be debited in GBP. All sums displayed on the Site in other currencies are indicative and are provided for information purposes only.
We aim to protect legitimate payment card and PayPal account holders from fraud and therefore will report to the relevant authorities any person using, or attempting to use, a payment method without apparent authority.
DELIVERY
Due to limited availability of some of the goods We sell, a particular item may be out of stock. We accept no liability for delays caused by goods being out of stock. If You have requested multiple shipments, We will debit the second and any subsequent shipment’s carriage charges from Your card.
Times to despatch shown on the website are an estimate only. We shall not be liable for delays caused by matters outside of Our control.
Delivery will be advised at the time of submitting Your order, but please allow up to 30 days for delivery. In stock items will generally be dispatched the same day, out of stock goods may take longer.
Any claim based on any defect in quantity, quality or condition of the goods must be notified to Us within ten days of delivery, after which You will be deemed to have accepted the goods.
The cost of delivery shipment will be displayed at the shopping basket and checkout prior to submitting Your order. The cost is dependent on destination country and service level selected. Not all services are available in all locations. We reserve the right not to ship to all countries/destinations.
Risk of damage to, or loss of, the goods shall pass to You at the point at which they are delivered to You.
For UK couriered consignments, We reserve the right to charge a GBP15 Redirection fee to any address other than the delivery address specified in Your order. If no UK delivery address is specified in Your order consignments will automatically be sent to the billing address.
We will provide You with an expected delivery date when We despatch Your order. It is Your responsibility to ensure that someone is available at the address to sign for the delivery should it be required. We accept no liability for delays in You receiving the order, due to no signature being available at the address provided. Expected date of delivery is estimated and may be subject to change due to adverse conditions.
NON-DELIVERY
In the unlikely event of non-delivery of Your order, You agree to undertake reasonable steps, as requested by Us in order to resolve the situation for You as quickly as possible. Steps may include, but are not limited to;
confirming with Your local delivery centre that no consignments are being held for You;
ensuring that someone is available to take delivery at the address provided, and
providing Us or Our delivery partners declaration of non-delivery upon request.
Although every effort will be made by Us to ensure that non-delivery, issues are resolved as quickly as possible, Royal Mail does not consider delayed items as “lost” or “missing” for 15 days within the UK, or 30 days overseas. This may result in exceptional circumstances to a delay in replacing or refunding Your order.
Failure by You to complete and return declarations of non-delivery as requested by Us or Our partners that results in the rejection of Our compensation claim, will result in You being debited for the current retail value of the missing items.
It is Your responsibility to inform Us as soon as practicable (but no more than seven days), of subsequent delivery of goods previously refunded or replaced due to non-delivery.
Failure by You to return or make available for collection, goods previously refunded or replaced but subsequently delivered, will result in Your being debited for the current retail value of the items.
AVAILABILITY AND PRICING
All prices listed in Our catalogues or on the Site are subject to change without prior notice.
Although every effort is made by Us to ensure that the prices displayed in Our catalogues or on the Site are correct, mispricing can occur. Under these circumstances, We reserve the right, at Our discretion, either to contact You for instructions or cancel Your order and notify You accordingly.
Where goods are “in stock” at our fulfilment facility, this is indicated on the particular product page on the Site. We make every effort to ensure the accuracy of this information. However, stock level errors can occur. We accept no liability whatsoever for delays as a result of stock level inaccuracies.
Where items are not in stock and a timescale for availability is provided, this timescale is an estimate, not a guarantee and should not be relied upon. We will notify You if items are subsequently delayed or unavailable from the supplier. We accept no liability for delays from Our suppliers.
CANCELLATIONS
YOUR RIGHT TO CANCEL
You may withdraw your offer to buy at any time prior to Us despatching Your goods, by contacting Us directly, or via Your account where You have set one up.
At the time the goods are despatched you are deemed to have entered into a contract and the cancellation period begins.
Under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, UK and EU customers have the right to cancel their contract within 14 calendar days without giving any reason. Gas Technologies extend this to 21 days as a courtesy to our customers.
COOLING OFF PERIOD
The cancellation period will expire after 21 calendar days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the goods.
In cases where the items in your order are delivered separately, the cancellation period will expire after 21 calendar days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good.
ADDRESS
To exercise the right to cancel under the Consumer Contracts Regulations, you must inform Us
Gas Technologies Limited
144-150 Tandragee Road, Newry, BT35 6LW , Northern Ireland
Tel:0044 28 30821747,
email support@gastechnologies.co.uk
of your decision to cancel this contract by a clear statement (e.g. a letter sent by post or e-mail).
You may use the model cancellation form provided below, or by using the returns paperwork provided with your order, but it is not obligatory.
DEADLINE
To meet the cancellation deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right to cancel, before the cancellation period has expired.
EFFECTS OF CANCELLATION
If you cancel this contract within the 21 days set out in the Consumer Contracts Regulations, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising, if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you (see ‘Consumers liability for diminished value of the goods’ section below).
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than:
14 days after the day we receive back from you all goods supplied, or
(if earlier) 14 days after the day you provide evidence that you have returned all the goods, or
if there were no goods supplied, 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to cancel this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of the reimbursement.
CONSUMERS LIABILITY FOR DIMINISHED VALUE OF THE GOODS
You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary, to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
You are permitted to inspect the goods in a way that would be possible in store. You may not use the goods in any other way, as such, all returned goods must be “as new” and complete with all manufacturer’s packaging and tags attached.
RETURN COST
You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods.
RETENTION OF REIMBURSEMENT
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods (i.e. signed proof of delivery), whichever is the earliest.
REFUNDS & EXCHANGES
Depending on your location, it can take up to 7 business days from the date of your return for your parcel to be delivered back to our Store. We will inspect the returned item and will notify you of your refund/replacement or exchange via email. This is usually done within 5 working days of receiving your return into our Store. During busy periods, please allow up to 14 days for your return to be received and processed.
Refunds
UK law automatically gives you a 14 day ‘cooling-off period’ when you buy something you haven’t seen in person, i.e. online unless it’s made to measure, bespoke, custom or an end of line item. Gas Technologies offer a 21 days returns period – so providing the goods arrive back within 21 days and comply with the rest of the terms it will be deemed acceptable. Some items, however, are not eligible for a return, including:
- Products that deteriorate quickly
- Products that have been used underwater
- Products that have been personalised, made to measure or custom made specifically for you
- Products that are end of line, items that we can no longer replace, obtain parts for or repair.
- Items sold on clearance, due to the nature of the sale
Any items you wish to return for a refund must be unused and in an ‘as new’ condition with all packaging intact and all original labels and tags attached to the item. Removal or loss of original labels may affect your return. The products should not have been used in water, even for testing, until you are happy with them as they cannot be returned once used in water. Any evidence of use in water may result in the refund being rejected and the items returned to you. Please note that special orders that required stock to be ordered in to fulfil may incur a 20% restocking fee. Please ensure to take reasonable care of the items you wish to return as we reserve the right to refuse a refund and return the goods to you if they are not fit for re-sale.
Exchanges
If you wish to return an item for exchange please place a new order for the correct item and return the unwanted item to us. Once it has been received, processed and approved we will action the refund. This is to eliminate any delay with the delivery of your item wherever possible. Please contact our us at the store +44 28 30821 747 if you have any questions regarding exchanging an item or items on your order. Details on how to return your item can be found below.
Sending items back to us:
- Bundle up your unwanted goods for return/exchange, keeping all the original product packaging intact
- Please include your Order Number (as located on the Order Receipt email)
- Write your refund / exchange instructions & reason for return
- To send the goods back to us, you can choose your own preferred carrier.
Return Costs
You are responsible for the cost of returning your item(s) to us, unless you received a faulty, damaged or wrongly despatched item. Please repack your item with care using all the original packaging or a suitable alternative as the goods are your responsibility until they reach our warehouse. Please ensure you package your return to prevent any damage to the items or boxes in transit. If an item is not packaged correctly and has been damaged in transit back to us we will contact you and may need to either return the product to you or only issue a partial refund via credit note. If an undamaged item is returned to us outside of the 30-day time frame, a voucher (valid for 1 year) will be issued, at the discretion of Gas Technologies. If you wish to cancel your whole order and return it to us, under the Distance Selling Regulations, you must let us know within 14 working days of receiving your parcel. Please call our Customer Service team on +44 28 30821 747. You will then need to return the whole order to us, at your own expense if you have already received it. Once we receive the whole order we will issue a full refund via your original method of payment. If the goods were delivered to a destination within the European Union, if you cancel your whole order within 14 days after the day you receive your goods, we will refund the Standard delivery cost. If you have paid for an upgraded delivery, we will only refund the cost of Standard delivery. We cannot accept responsibility for packages that never reach us. None of the above affects your statutory rights.
FAULTY GOODS
Should You believe that any product You have purchased from Us is faulty, it is Your responsibility to contact Us as soon as reasonably practicable and give Us as much detail as You can. We will then assess the situation and determine the best course of action required, in order to resolve the situation for You as quickly as possible.
You agree to undertake reasonable steps as requested by Us, in order to resolve the situation. Steps may include, but are not limited to, providing Us with images of said fault by email, fax or post. Returning the item to Us or Our appointed expert, via Our appointed service, for assessment, and ensuring the availability of the item for collection by Our agents.
If any product that is purchased is faulty, We will exchange it for an identical replacement (where stock availability allows) free of charge, provided that the product is returned to Us with its original packaging and the fault is notified to Us. The provision of a replacement item is conditional on Our appointed expert first verifying the reported fault.
Where identical replacement stock is unavailable, We will reimburse You for the cost of the goods and in circumstances where the faulty good constitutes the entire order, we will also reimburse the outbound delivery costs.

WEEE REGULATIONS
The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (or WEEE) Regulations are now U.K. law. All European member States including the U.K. have agreed to reduce the amount of WEEE that is being disposed of in landfill sites. It is important that the amount of WEEE sent to landfill sites is reduced because:
Some WEEE can be re-used or recycled. The amount of landfill space available in the UK is decreasing. If We can keep WEEE out of landfill sites it means there is more landfill space available for non-recyclable waste.
WEEE can contain hazardous substances. When left in landfill sites the hazardous substances in WEEE can pollute soil and contaminate water supplies. This contamination can damage human health and the environment.
Distributors of new Electric and Electronic Equipment (or EEE) have a part to play in reducing the amount of WEEE going into landfill sites. We are doing Our bit under these regulations by offering Our customers free take-back of their WEEE on a like-for-like basis when they buy a new Electrical or Electronic product. For example, if You bought a new toaster from Us We would accept Your old toaster and prevent it going into a landfill site by disposing of it safely.
In order to benefit from our WEEE disposal scheme, You must return Your WEEE item to Us within 28 days of purchasing Your new item.
You do not have to pay for the transportation of Your WEEE item to Our premises.
Under the WEEE Regulations, all new electrical goods should now be marked with the crossed-out wheeled bin symbol. Goods are marked with this symbol to show that they were produced after 13th August 2005 and should be disposed of separately from normal household waste.
