7.3 Except in the case of faulty or misdescribed goods, if you exercise your right of cancellation after the goods have been delivered to you, you will be responsible for returning the goods to the Supplier at your own cost.

8. Warranty 
8.1 All goods supplied by the Supplier are warranted as fit for purpose and, where relevant, conforming with the EC legislation on protective fencing clothing. This warranty does not affect your statutory rights as a consumer. 
8.2 This warranty does not apply to any defect in the goods arising from fair wear and tear, wilful damage, accident, negligence by you or any third party, use otherwise than as recommended by the  manufacturer, failure to follow the manufacturer's instructions, or any alteration or repair carried out without the manufacturer's approval.
8.3 Fencing, by its very nature as a combat sport involving body contact, is a dangerous sport.  Although protective clothing is intended as far as reasonably possible to prevent injuries, or in the worst case reduce the severity of injuries, this can not be guaranteed.  Broken blades are a particular threat as breakage of blades may result in uneven breaks, high tip velocities and high energy impacts.  As a result, no practical clothing is capable of withstanding all broken blade impacts.
8.4 Protective clothing must not be changed or manipulated in any way.  In particular, seams must not be opened or further parts added or taken away.  Care instructions must be followed as failure to do so may result in a reduction of the level of protection afforded by the clothing.
8.5 Fencing clothing must be inspected regularly to make sure that no defects (abrasion, holes, broken seams etc etc) have occurred.  If this has happened the garment should be repaired by a recognised supplier of fencing clothing or discarded.
8.6 If the goods supplied to you are damaged on delivery, you should notify the Supplier by telephone, in writing or by email within 7 working days.  

9. Limitation of Liability 
9.1 Subject to 9.2 below, if you are a consumer the Supplier shall not be liable to you for any loss or damage in circumstances where: 
  9.1.1 there is no breach of a legal duty owed to you by the Supplier or by its employees or agents; 
  9.1.2 such loss or damage is not a reasonably foreseeable result of any such breach; 
  9.1.3 any increase in loss or damage resulting from breach by you of any term of this contract. 
9.2 Nothing in these conditions excludes or limits the liability of the Supplier for death or personal injury caused by the Supplierīs negligence or fraudulent misrepresentation. 

10. Data Protection 
10.1 The Supplier will take all reasonable precautions to keep the details of your order and payment secure but unless the Supplier is negligent, the Supplier will not be liable for unauthorised access to information supplied by you.
10.2 The gofence.com website does not use cookies.

11. Complaints
11.1 In the first instance, complaints should be made in writing to: Winchester Research Ltd, 12 Back Road, Dollar, Clackmannanshire FK14 7EA.

These terms of sale and the supply of the goods will be subject to Scottish law and the Scottish courts will have jurisdiction in respect of any dispute arising from the contract, save that consumers resident in England shall have the right to insist upon these terms being construed in accordance with the laws of England and to submit to the jurisdiction of English courts.
