| HOW TO MAKE A PURCHASE To order products from the Homebits website, simply follow these steps: Select the product(s) you wish to purchase, selecting the available options as necessary, the quantity you require, then click on the "Buy Now" button. You will then be shown a new page (shopping cart), which will show the item(s) you have selected. If you continue shopping you will then be taken back to the item that you last viewed. You can continue to search the Homebits site for further goods that you may wish to purchase and add these to your basket (you may add as many products as you wish before visiting the checkout). The total number of items and value of your basket (excluding delivery) will be displayed at all times and by clicking "View Basket", you will be able to amend any selected item(s). If any item(s) appear either priced £0.00 or described as "Drop Down" this is a site error and we would ask you to contact us for the correct price as Homebits does not sell any item(s) for £0.00. When you have finished shopping click the "Checkout" button where you will be taken to your shopping cart which will show you the products that you have selected to order. If anything is incorrect, press "Cancel" and you will be taken back to the item that you last viewed and by clicking "View Basket" you will be able to make any changes. If all details are correct, click on "Next" and fill in the information requested, at this point delivery charges (if applicable) will be shown. Once completed, you will then be taken to the HSBC secure e-payments site which uses Security from Verified by Visa and MasterCard® SecureCode™ for internet transactions who will process your payment. After this you will be presented with a receipt page confirming your Homebits order and transaction for your records. If you require a confirmation e-mail, please ensure that you click to return to our site as our system uses this final action to generate this. As we do not take payment for your purchase(s) until the goods are shipped or part shipped, please note that the date on your credit card statement for your transaction may not be the same as that shown on your e-mail confirmation. The transaction on your credit card statement will be shown as "IT-FITZ.com" and not Homebits. |

Delivery of the Goods willl be made to the address that was specified in the order and you must make all arrangements necessary to take delivery of the Goods whenever they are tendered for delivery.

| RETURNS POLICY You are advised to inspect the Goods immediately upon receipt and you should notify Homebits in writing either by e-mail (sales (at) homebits.co.uk) or fax (+44 (0)8701 337955) if the goods are unsuitable, damaged, or do not comply with your order within three working days. We want you to be happy with your purchase and if for any reason the Goods do not suit your needs, the purchaser can return them to Homebits unused, in their original packaging and adequately insured during their return journey for a full refund (excluding calculated delivery charges, if any, calculated on the value of the item(s) being returned). Where a claim of defect or damage is made, the Goods shall be returned by the purchaser to Homebits in their original delivered packaging and should be adequately insured during their return journey. The purchaser will be entitled to a full refund (including calculated delivery charges, if any, calculated on the value of the item(s) being returned) plus the carriage costs incurred to return such, if the Goods are in fact proven to be defective or damaged. If Homebits supply an item in error which is not in accordance with your order, it is the responsibility of Homebits to advise you of their return instructions which may involve a third party, for example The Post Office, in order to fufill this requirement; all costs are limited to the cost of the item being returned. All goods being returned must include a copy (or original) of the Homebits issued delivery/invoice note included within the returned package in order for us to process this as quickly as possible. Proof of postage does not constitute a return receipt by Homebits and any claims made against returns made using this method will not be accepted. PLEASE NOTE: If you, the purchaser, fail to notify or advise Homebits within ten days from the date of the Homebits delivery/invoice note included with your purchase and subsequently do not return these items within 18 days from the date of this notification, then you shall be deemed to have accepted the goods. Any requests for returns after this period has elapsed will be at the discretion of Homebits and any subsequent refunds due in respect of an agreed return will be subject to a re-stocking/handling charge. ©Homebits 2011 |
