All prices are shown in Pounds Sterling. The price of the goods is inclusive of VAT unless stated otherwise.

On occasions, the prices payable and promotions offered online may differ from those prices and promotions offered at the same time in Able to Enable showrooms. We are under no obligation to honour any in-store price or promotion that differs from those online. Similarly, Able to Enable showrooms are under no obligation to honour any online price or promotion that differs from the in-store price. Special Offers and promotions advertised in the press or other advertisements could be excluded from our website unless specifically advertised as available on our website. All offers are subject to availability and while stocks last. This includes all offers advertised via the official Able to Enable social media channels.

Offers cannot be used in conjunction with one another. Where more than one offer is available on the same product only one discount will apply. The offer giving the greatest saving will be applied in the basket. Equally, voucher code offers cannot be used in conjunction with any other promotional offer.

  1. CONCLUDING A BINDING CONTRACT

When you place an order with us via our website you will be making an offer to enter into a contract. We will acknowledge your order but we will not accept your offer, and enter into a contract with you, until we dispatch the goods to you and inform you that they have been dispatched. At this point we will have entered into a binding contract and payment will be taken.

  1. VAT RELIEF

Individuals who are chronically sick or disabled and whose products are for personal use, or charities where the products are made available to a disabled person for their own personal/domestic use, may be eligible for VAT Relief.

To qualify for VAT Relief you must ensure that the VAT Relief checkboxes are selected at checkout on our website (if in store a declaration is signed) along with stating the precise medical condition. Assuming you meet the criteria, VAT will not be added (unless a particular product has compulsory VAT).

Orders that are received without ticked exemption or a signed declaration will incur the VAT charge which will be highlighted clearly to you on your receipt.

Completed VAT Relief Declarations by customers are accepted as prima facie evidence by the Company that a valid medical condition exists for exemption under The VAT Act, and no VAT will be charged on the goods purchased. If, at a later date, HMRC disputes the validity of the medical condition, you will be liable to pay the appropriate VAT that should have been applied. Under these circumstances, Able to Enable ltd reserves the right to demand that you pay the VAT amount that is due in relation to your order. It is your responsibility to give accurate information and to not make a false declaration.

  1. ACCURACY OF INFORMATION

Every effort has been taken to ensure that the products supplied by Able to Enable correspond as closely as possible to the pictures illustrated on our website and brochure, but they may vary due to the unique characteristics and variation of materials.

The majority of our new products are guaranteed for twelve months by the manufacturer. Our warranty does not cover items used outside of the UK mainland and does not include the cost of the hire of a replacement product(s).

Our warranties provide coverage only if you maintain or use the product as directed. For example, our warranty covers only personal users – as opposed to business uses – of the product. If there are multiple users of the product then we would not cover any product faults under warranty.

Please note there are the following general warranty exclusions: Parts which need adjustment, re-setting, replacement or repair due to abuse, fair wear & tear or to suit the individual needs of the user i.e. Tyres, lap belts, bulbs, plastic shrouds and upholstery (damaged after delivery), motor brushes, normal battery degradation, wheelchair / rollator brake adjustments, circuit breaker resetting, resetting user-induced problems or maintenance requirements caused by carelessness, use of the product for a purpose for which it has not been designed, or accidental damage such as flat batteries or punctures. Unfortunately if no fault is found with the equipment on an engineers’ visit under warranty the customer may be required to pay for the call out cost which is £50.00 (excluding vat).

Telephone assistance is provided free of charge to try and resolve any user error or other issues to get you going again. Our aim is to avoid our customers having to pay the call out fee if there is not fault present.

Defective items – Within the warranty period, any item found to be defective due to a manufacturing problem, will be repaired or replaced free of charge.
