You can cancel anytime from placing your order up to the end of a period 30 days after you take possession of the goods (or in the case of a multiple order, the last part of the order).

Items should be returned with the original packaging and with any labels still attached and be in a new and unused condition.

18. THE CONTRACT


After placing an order, you will receive an email from us acknowledging that we have received your order for the Goods, and the delivery services you have requested from the delivery service provider. Please note that this does not mean that your order has been accepted. Your order constitutes an offer to Sigma Sports to buy Goods. All orders are subject to acceptance by us, and we will confirm such acceptance to you by sending you an email that confirms that the Goods have been dispatched by the delivery service provider (the "Dispatch Confirmation"). The contract between you and Sigma Sports will only be formed when we send you the Dispatch Confirmation. For products sent directly from our warehouse to you, your Credit/debit card will be charged when your order is placed.

The contract will relate only to those Goods whose dispatch (by the delivery service provider) we have confirmed in the Dispatch Confirmation. We will not be obliged to supply any other Goods which may have been part of your order until the dispatch of such Goods has been confirmed in a separate Dispatch Confirmation.

Back to Top ^

19. CANCELLATION BY SIGMA SPORTS


We reserve the right to cancel the contract between us if:

  • We have insufficient stock to deliver the Goods you have ordered
  • The delivery service provider does not deliver to your area
  • One or more of the Goods you ordered was listed at an incorrect price due to a typographical error or an error in the pricing information received by us from our suppliers; or
  • We have reason to suspect that there is a risk of a fraudulent transaction

If we do cancel your contract, we will notify you by email and will re-credit to your account any sum deducted by us in respect of Goods provided by us, and delivery services provided by the delivery service provider (unless amounts in respect of delivery are refunded directly by the delivery service provider), from your debit or credit card as soon as possible but in any event within 30 days of your order. We will not be obliged to offer any additional compensation for the disappointment suffered.

22. Product Pricing


UK & the EU

If your order is being delivered to a country within the EU, the relevant VAT amount will be included in the product price you see on the product page and in your basket. Sales tax will not be added separately to your order total later. Selecting to pay by an alternative currency will not impact the rate of VAT you are charged.

You should not be charged any import duty or sales tax when your order arrives at your local customs as you have already paid this when placing your order with Sigma Sports.

Rest of World

For orders being delivered to countries outside of the EU, no VAT will be included in the product prices you see on our website.

International payment is taken by our international sales facilitation and fulfilment partner, Global-e. The price of products is calculated according to the rate of exchange between the base currency on our website and the currency that you select as part of the purchase process at the time you place your order. In some circumstances, the MSP price is localised for certain products. Global-e reserve the right to update such exchange rates regularly at its sole discretion, and you acknowledge that such updates may affect product pricing on the website. You will be charged according to the applicable exchange rate at the time you place your order via the website.

Taxes

For certain shipping destination countries and/or products, you may be offered the option to pre-pay applicable taxes, which will then be calculated and included in the final price when you place an order through the website. You acknowledge that such taxes are set by the shipping destination country and therefore may vary from country to country.

For clarity, the option to pre-pay taxes may not be available for your shipping destination country and/or your products, in which case: (a) you acknowledge that the amount of taxes displayed under the pre-pay option on the website is an estimate only, and the actual taxes payable by you may be more or less than such estimate; and (b) you will be fully responsible for paying all applicable taxes directly to the relevant authority (and for reclaiming them in the event of a cancellation of your order or the return of products, to the extent permitted in these Terms) as determined by the authorities of the shipping destination country, and Global-e shall have no responsibility or liability in connection with the foregoing.

23. Descriptions of Products


We take all reasonable care to ensure that the information in our product descriptions is correct at the time of publication. While we aim to keep our website as accurate as possible, products can be updated by suppliers, affecting the accuracy of our product descriptions.

24. Waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE)


Why recycle?

Unwanted electrical equipment is the UK's fastest-growing type of waste. Many electrical items can be repaired or recycled, saving natural resources and the environment. If you do not recycle, electrical equipment will end up in a landfill where hazardous substances will leak out and cause soil and water contamination – harming wildlife and also human health.

What is WEEE?

The Waste Electrical or Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive requires countries to maximise separate collection and environmentally friendly processing of these items. In the UK, distributors (including retailers) must provide a system which allows all customers buying new electrical equipment the opportunity to recycle their old items free of charge.

We can help!

To remind you that old electrical equipment can be recycled, it is now marked with a crossed‐out wheeled bin symbol. Please do not throw any electrical equipment (including those marked with the crossed-out wheeled bin symbol) in your bin.

You can recycle waste electronic equipment free of charge at a local authority collection point.

You can dispose of packaging materials free of charge at local packaging collection points or in dedicated disposal bins available in some local authorities.
