Technobots Ltd takes all reasonable effort to ensure that any of our products do not infringe any patents, trademarks or copyrights. Any claims to the contrary will be considered and action taken as appropriate. Technobots Ltd own full copyright 2001 - 2010 in respect of this on-line shop. No copying in any form in part or whole of the shop is permissible unless otherwise granted in writing by Technobots Ltd.

Making A Purchase
Making a purchase could not be easier. Just browse our store, and add any items that you wish to buy into the shopping cart. After you have finished your selection, click on 'Checkout' and you will be asked for a few details that we need to be able to complete the order.

We offer two on-line payment options that are secure - naturally! UK customers can choose either PayPal or Actinic Payments secured by CreditCall. Non-UK customers only have the PayPal option. Both methods accept major credit and debit cards. Please note that with these two methods, Technobots will never get to see your payment card details or are they stored on our servers - we are PCI compliant to the latest standards. You can also order by telephone where we will take your payment details with your order but again, these are entered direct to the secure CreditCall server so we do not keep a copy of your card details. No credit terms are available (except to valid education accounts on a strictly 30 day payment by prior agreement). Please note a £25.00 minimum order value applies to all educational credit accounts.

You may also send your credit card information via fax or snail mail but please do not Email your payment details as this is not a secure method. Any hard copy of credit card details will be shreded immediately after use.

When confirmation of order is received, this is to indicate that we have received your order. It does not indicate that a contract exists between us. We will indicate acceptance of your order, and hence a contract between us, when we send you an invoice. We have included this term to protect us in the unlikely case that a mistake has been made in pricing or we are no longer able to supply a particular product for some reason. In the case of a change of price, we will always contact you first to ensure that the price is acceptable.
Shipping And Handling
Please follow Shipping link on top navigation bar on the home page for full delivery options & pricing.

1st Class - Please note that 1st class letter post cannot be tracked and as per Royal Mail guidelines is not considered missing until 3 weeks have passed following dispatch.

Insured - We recommend using our courier service for items of value as they can be tracked and are sent on a priority service.
Delivery Schedule
We typically dispatch your order in 1-3 business days depending on our back log but please allow 7 working days for delivery before contacting our sales department. In some case, items may be unavailable and hence delivery may take longer, (see Back Orders).

No responsibility can be accepted for failure to meet a delivery date. There may be periods when the shop is closed to orders for example during holiday periods, these periods will be advertised on the shop in advance.

Back Orders
Out of stock items are automatically put on backorder but you can cancel a back order at any time for a full refund of the outstanding items. We do not charge any extra carriage for sending back orders out.
Tax Charges
All orders will be charged in £ sterling. For orders made from the UK or the European Union, 17.5% VAT is added. Orders sent outside of the EU do not have VAT charged.
Credit Card Security
At the checkout stage, we will first take your address details and this is via our own 128 bit encryption secure server (look for the padlock symbol and the URL address change to https//www.technobots.co.uk). Then you will be transferred to one of two futher secure servers - Actinic Payments (secured by CreditCall) or PayPal depending on your selection. We do not get to see your card details at any time for orders placed over the internet, only the payment service providers (PSP) do and they meet the latest PCI industry standards.
Guarantee
It is recognised that many items supplied by Technobots will be used outside of their intended application / duty – for example in fighting robots.

Technobots can provide guidance as to the suitability for most of our products in many applications but the purchaser will be responsible for ensuring the suitability of the item(s) in the chosen application.

Product liability is not applicable for products used outside of the manufacturers intended application / operating conditions.
