ABOUT US We are FCI Water Systems Europe B.V. of Harregatplein 5J, 3214 VP Zuidland, Netherlands (“FCI Water Systems Europe”, “we”, “us”, or “our”). We operate the website and shop at www.calmerseas.co.uk (our “website”). To contact us, please email accounts@calmerseas.co.uk. These Terms were last updated on Friday, 24 January, 2025. The following also apply to these Terms and form an integral part of these Terms: our Privacy Policy; our Cookie Policy; our Shipping, Refund, Cancellation, and Return Policy. ELIGIBILITY By placing an order through our website, you warrant that: you are legally capable of entering into binding contracts; and you are at least 18 years old. HOW THE CONTRACT IS FORMED Your order constitutes an offer to us to buy a Product. After placing an order, you will receive an email from us acknowledging that we have received your order (“Order”). This does not mean that your Order has been accepted. All orders are subject to acceptance by us. The contract between us (“Contract”) will only be formed when we dispatch the Product. WHEN ORDERS ARE NOT ACCEPTED While we do our best to always accept Orders, we can refuse an Order if: you provide us with incomplete, incorrect, or fraudulent information regarding your identity, age, payment details, billing information, and shipping address; we discover that there was an error on our website relating to the Products you ordered, such as an incorrect price or description, or the Products are out of stock or no longer available. If we cannot accept your Order we will contact you and refund you any money you have already paid for such Products. Except we are required by law, we will not be liable to you, or any other person, for any loss, damage, cost or expense suffered as a direct or indirect result of the unavailability of any Products at any time, whether in contract, negligence, or any other tort, equity, restitution, strict liability, under statute, or otherwise. PRODUCTS DESCRIPTIONS We do our best to ensure that the information about our Products is accurate and up to date. However, we do not guarantee that there will be no errors in the description and/or pricing of the Products, or that Products will always be available if you wish to place an Order. We also reserve the right to modify the information about the Products including their prices, description and availability. However, such changes will not affect Orders accepted by us. Except we are required by law, we will not be liable to you, or any other person, for any loss, damage, cost or expense suffered as a direct or indirect result of the inaccuracy of any Product description, whether in contract, negligence or any other tort, equity, restitution, strict liability, under statute or otherwise. PRICE AND PAYMENT The price of the Products and our delivery charges will be as quoted on our website, except in cases of obvious error. Product prices and delivery charges are liable to change at any time, but changes will not affect already dispatched Orders. We are under no obligation to provide the Product to you at the incorrect lower price, even after we have dispatched the Product, if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as an error. All payments shall be made by using the payment methods specified by us from time to time. You acknowledge and agree that you are subject to the applicable user agreement of any third-party payment methods. We shall not be liable for any failure, disruption, or error in connection with your chosen payment method. We reserve the right at any time to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, any payment method without notice to you or giving any reason. We must receive payment in full no later than the day on which such payment is required to be paid in immediately available and freely transferable funds, without any restriction, condition, withholding, deduction, set-off, or counterclaim whatsoever. CHARGEBACKS You agree to contact us prior to raising a request for a chargeback or any dispute with your bank or card issuer in relation to any transaction. If you make a card payment through our website, and later dispute a legitimate charge by raising a chargeback without merit or legitimate reason (as determined at our sole discretion), whether fraudulently or otherwise, then we reserve the right to blacklist you by providing compelling evidence to refute your invalid chargeback request and/or pursue legal action as the case may be. CANCELLATION We reserve the right to cancel, at any time before delivery and for whatever reason, any Order that we have previously accepted, such as if there is an event beyond our control, or we are unable to supply the Products. If we cancel your Order we will contact you and refund you any money you have already paid for such Products. Except we are required by law, we will not be liable to you, or any other person, for any loss, damage, cost, or expense suffered as a direct or indirect result of cancellation of your Order, whether in contract, negligence, or any other tort, equity, restitution, strict liability, under statute or otherwise. RIGHT TO CANCEL (B2C CONSUMER SALES ONLY) As a consumer, under UK and EU consumer protection laws, you have a cooling-off period of 14 "working days” during which you are entitled to cancel your purchase if, for any reason, you decide you no longer want the item from the date the contract is concluded (i.e., the date we send our Order Confirmation email). As such, you can inform us of your decision to withdraw from a contract made with us by means of a clear statement (e.g., a letter sent by post, fax, or email) or use the below cancellation form.

We will confirm receipt of this by contacting you in writing, normally by email. If we have to contact you or give you notice in writing, we will do so by email to the address you provide to us in your Order. Please note that any notice given by you to us, or by us to you, will be deemed received and properly served immediately when posted on our website, or 24 (twenty-four) hours after an email is sent. In proving the service of any notice, it will be sufficient to prove, in the case of a letter, that such letter was properly addressed, stamped, and placed in the post and, in the case of an email, that such email was sent to the specified email address of the addressee. EVENTS OUTSIDE OUR CONTROL We will not be liable or responsible for any failure to perform, or delay in performance of, any of our obligations under a Contract that is caused by events outside our reasonable control (Force Majeure Event). A Force Majeure Event includes any act, event, non-happening, omission, or accident beyond our reasonable control and includes in particular (without limitation) the following: strikes, lockouts, or other industrial action; civil commotion, riot, invasion, terrorist attack or threat of terrorist attack, war (whether declared or not) or threat or preparation for war; fire, explosion, storm, flood, earthquake, subsidence, epidemic, or other natural disaster; impossibility of the use of railways, shipping, aircraft, motor transport, or other means of public or private transport; impossibility of the use of public or private telecommunications networks; and the acts, decrees, legislation, regulations, or restrictions of any government. Our performance under any contract is deemed to be suspended for the period that the Force Majeure Event continues, and we will have an extension of time for performance for the duration of that period. We will use our reasonable endeavours to bring the Force Majeure Event to a close or to find a solution by which our obligations under the Contract may be performed despite the Force Majeure Event. OTHER IMPORTANT TERMS We may transfer our rights and obligations under a Contract to another organisation, but this will not affect your rights or our obligations under these Terms. We will always notify you by posting on this webpage if this happens. You may only transfer your rights or your obligations under these Terms to another person if we agree in writing. This contract is between you and us. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms. Each of the paragraphs of these Terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful or unenforceable, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect. If we fail to insist that you perform any of your obligations under these Terms, or if we do not enforce our rights against you, or if we delay in doing so, that will not mean that we have waived our rights against you and will not mean that you do not have to comply with those obligations. If we do waive a default by you, we will only do so in writing, and that will not mean that we will automatically waive any later default by you. No joint venture, partnership, agency, or employment relationship has arisen by reason of these Terms. These Terms and any document expressly referred to in it constitutes the entire agreement between us regarding their subject matter, and supersedes and extinguishes all previous agreements, promises, assurances, warranties, representations, and understandings between us, whether written or oral, relating to that subject matter. You agree that you shall have no remedies in respect of any statement, representation, assurance, or warranty (whether made innocently or negligently) that is not set out in these Terms or any document expressly referred to in it. You agree that you shall have no claim for innocent or negligent misrepresentation or negligent misstatement based on any statement in these Terms or any document expressly referred to in it. Each of the conditions of these Terms operates separately. If any court or competent authority decides that any of them are unlawful or unenforceable, the remaining conditions will remain in full force and effect. These terms and conditions and the relationship between you and us shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of England and Wales. In the event of any such disputes or claims in connection with these Terms, you agree to first engage in good faith discussions with us to resolve such dispute or claim. If such dispute or claim is not resolved within sixty (60) days, we both irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.
