(Hybrid tone: clear for customers, firm for legal protection)
These Terms & Conditions of Trading apply to all purchases, orders, repairs, custom work, and services supplied by Lampfix (“the Company”). By placing an order, you agree to be bound by these terms.
These terms apply to both trade and consumer customers. Where you are a consumer, nothing in these terms affects your statutory rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015.
