Terms of Service

When you place an order via our website (www.v-rigger.com) we will treat that action as an offer to buy. Once the order is placed you will receive confirmation in the form of an email and at this time we enter into a contract with you.

Availability / Estimated Delivery Times

• We do our best to ensure availability of all advertised products and endeavour to despatch all products within the quoted time. If there is a delay, we will inform you of this via email (or telephone if provided) and the product will be despatched as soon as it is available. If you have ordered multiple items they may arrive separately as a partial dispatch.

Payment

• Payment over the Internet can be made via our secure check out pages using PayPal and SagePay (Opayo). Card charges will appear on your statement as "VIRTUAL RIGGER".
• All prices are quoted in pounds sterling (£) and include Value Added Tax (VAT) at UK rates, unless country currency is changed in our region adjuster available on every product page. It may be necessary to adjust prices in the event of an increase in VAT rates, or as a result of a manufacturer price increase. Customers are entitled to a full refund if this is not acceptable.
• Due to the nature of the clearing system your credit card payment will be taken at the point of processing. If a problem in supply should occur, your payment method will be refunded as swiftly as possible.  The refund may take between three to five days to show as cleared funds on your account, depending on payment provider.
• If your delivery address is outside of the UK, you may be required to pay import duties and taxes when your Virtual Rigger order reaches your country. These and any additional charges for customs clearance are your responsibility.
