Welcome To
Firstcall
Welcome to Firstcall, the Web's ultimate
source for photography-related content and products. Firstcall can help you find
the product you've been looking for, let you know about items that might
interest you, or just give you a place to talk to others who share your
interests. Before you get started, please take a few minutes to read the
following terms of business, which you agree will govern your use of Firstcall.
If we decide to change our terms of business, we will post those changes on this
page so that you are always aware of the rules that apply to the Firstcall site.
Your use of Firstcall is subject primarily to English law and, where legally
effective over and above those laws, to all applicable local consumer protection
laws. These terms were last updated on 19th September 2007.
Purchasing from
Firstcall
Shopping with Firstcall is always safe, thanks to our safe shopping guarantee. When you place orders or access your account information, we use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology - the same technology that most web sites use to safeguard credit card and other personal information. All of the customer data we collect is similarly protected against unauthorised access.
When you place an order on our site you are effectively offering to buy the product which means that there is no binding contract unless we have cleared your payment. We generate an email during this time but this reply simply confirms we have received your request. Acceptance of your order occurs on payment being confirmed.
Cancellation Policy
If
you are unhappy with any product you purchase from Firstcall, you can obtain a
full refund by returning the product to us within 7 working days of the date
you received it and in the same condition as when you received it. For
returning an item, please contact us by telephone prior to return on 01823
413007 or email sales@firstcall-photographic.co.uk. Once notice of your
cancellation has been received and we are in possession of the returned goods,
Firstcall will make a refund of the contract price to your debit or credit card
used to purchase the goods. This will be done within 30 days of the date of
cancellation.The cost of returning goods in this situation will be met by
the purchaser.
Replacement Policy
If any item you purchase proves to be faulty during the warranty period (usually 12 months) and needs to be replaced please contact us by telephone prior to return on 01823 413007 or email sales@firstcall-photographic.co.uk, and if the UK, we'll send you a Freepost label to return it. If outside of the UK, carriage costs to return the goods will be met by the customer.
Carriage charges
Within the
UK, there is a standard delivery charge of £7.50 including VAT per order, levied
on all orders placed. There is also a minimum order value of £25 PLUS VAT when
you purchase from us. In the UK, all goods are shipped by BusinessPost courier
service and are delivered in 48 hours from date of despatch. This can be tracked
on their Internet site using the information we have – please email us for your
consignment number of the parcel sales@firstcall-photographic.co.uk.
Outside the UK (including the Channel Islands) carriage is charged at cost from the courier used (as nominated by you the customer during the order process). In most cases this charge is sent as a separate invoice by us after the goods have been sent and a final statement received from the freight agent as to the actual cost of delivery.
Your responsibilities as a Firstcall user
You agree to abide by all applicable laws. In addition, you
agree that (1) you will not interfere with another member's use and enjoyment of
