(1) Introduction

Please read these terms of sale carefully.

You will be asked to expressly agree to these terms of sale before you place an order for products from our website.

(2) Interpretation

In these terms of sale, “we” means Double Nine Ltd T/A Merlin Workwear and “you” means our customer or potential customer for products (and “your” will be construed accordingly).

(3) Order process

The advertising of products on our website constitutes an “invitation to treat”; and your order for products constitutes a contractual offer. No contract will come into force between you and us unless and until we accept your order in accordance with the procedure detailed below.

In order to enter into a contract to purchase products from us, you will need to take the following steps:

(i) you must add the products you wish to purchase to your shopping cart, and then proceed to the checkout;

(ii) if you are a new customer, you must then create an account with us and log in; if you are an existing customer, you must enter your login details;

(iii) once you are logged in, you must select your preferred method of delivery and confirm your order and your consent to these terms of sale;

(iv) you will be transferred to the WorldPay website, and WorldPay will handle your payment;

(v) we will then send you an initial acknowledgement;

(vi) once we have checked whether we are able to meet your order, we will either send you an order confirmation (at which point your order will become a binding contract) or we will confirm by email that we are unable to meet your order.

We will not file a copy of these terms of sale specifically in relation to your order. We may update the version of these terms of sale on the website from time to time, and we do not guarantee that the version you have agreed to will remain accessible. We therefore recommend that you download, print and retain a copy of these terms of sale for your records.

The only language in which we provide these terms of sale is English.

Before you place your order, you will have the opportunity of identifying whether you have made any input errors in the shopping cart. You may correct those input errors before placing your order by editing your chosen product in the shopping cart

(4) The products

(i) Workwear clothing, Corporate clothing, Footwear, PPE products, Causalwear, Outdoorwear, Hi- Visibility products, Uniforms, Hospitalitywear, Sportwear and any other product offered on the web site.

(5) Price and payment

Prices for products are quoted on our website. The website contains a large number of products and it is always possible that some of the prices on the website may be incorrect. We will verify prices as part of our sale procedures so that a product's correct price will be stated at check out.

In addition to the price of the products, you will/may have to pay a delivery charge, which will be as stated at check out.

Payment must be made upon the submission of your order. We may withhold the products and/or cancel the contract between us if the price is not received from you in full in cleared funds.

The prices on the website include all value added taxes (where applicable).

Payment for all products must be made by WorldPay, Paypal OR any method detailed on the website from time to time.

Prices for products are liable to change at any time, but changes will not affect contracts which have come into force.

If you dispute any payment made to us you must contact us immediately and provide full details of your claim. If you submit an unjustified credit card, debit card or other charge-back then you will be liable to pay us, within 7 days following the date of the charge-back: (i) an amount equal to the amount of the charge-back; (ii) all third party expenses incurred by us in relation to the charge-back (include charges made by our or your bank or payment processor or card issuer); (iii) an administration fee of GBP £20 (including VAT); and (iv) all our reasonable costs, losses and expenses incurred in recovering the amounts referred to in this paragraph (including without limitation legal fees and debt collection fees).

Without prejudice to our other rights, if you submit an unjustified credit card, debit card or other charge-back, then we may terminate any contracts between you and us under these terms of sale by giving you written notice of termination.

For the avoidance of doubt, if you fail to recognise or fail to remember the source of an entry on your card statement or other financial statement, and make a charge-back as a result, this will constitute an unjustified charge-back.

You will usually receive you refund or replacement within 7 days of us receiving the item back in our store.

Any reasonable carriage costs incurred by the customer returning the faulty goods will be reimbursed in full providing the item can be verified as faulty.

Damaged Goods
