How to Purchase Products from www.thumbsup.com
You can choose to register with This website, but you do not have to in order to purchase a Product from it. If you do register, it will make the process of making a purchase quicker the next time you use the Site. In registering, you will be providing certain personal information to us.
Products may be ordered by clicking on the items you wish to purchase and then following the prompts that will appear on-screen. You may check and correct any input errors in your order up until the point at which you submit your order to us by clicking the “commit to buy” button on the checkout page. You will also have to agree to these terms and conditions before you can place your order.
You will then be transferred to our secure third-party payment gateway to process your payment details.
We will then send you an initial order acknowledgement by email and once we have checked whether we are able to meet your order and whether payment has been successful, we will either send you an order confirmation by email (order confirmation) (at which point a contract between you and us shall be formed), or alternatively, we will confirm by email that we are unable to meet your order.
Where we are unable to accept your order due to the requested Products being out of stock or unavailable, we will aim to advise you when we expect the requested Products to be in stock/available and you will be given the opportunity to proceed with the order or receive a full refund. If you want to proceed with the order notwithstanding that there will be a delay in delivery of the Products due to them being out of stock or unavailable, we will send an order confirmation at which point a contract between you and us shall be formed. After entering into the contract, we will be under a legal duty to supply you with Products that are in conformity with the contract.
Once the order confirmation has been sent to you, we will deliver the Products in accordance with the relevant delivery section below.

If you fail to comply with this obligation, we may have a right to deduct the cost of any deterioration from you up to the price of the Product, from the refund to which you are otherwise entitled.
You will not have any right to cancel a contract for the supply of any of the following Products:
- perishable items or cosmetic grooming products or other items which cannot be returned for health or hygiene reasons;
- any products which become mixed inseparably with other items after their delivery unless in each case such Products were damaged or faulty when delivered to you or have been incorrectly delivered.
To return the Products, you should package the parcel securely (making sure you include a note of your name and address (enclosing any returns slip, if we have provided one) inside the parcel) and then return it to us, either by courier or by recorded delivery mail or other form of certified mail, or if the Products are too bulky to return by mail then by a suitable carrier, to the following address:

Product Information
It is not possible to describe every detail of the Products available to purchase on the website.
