(f) We may cancel, at any time before delivery and for whatever reason, an order that we have previously accepted, including where there is a considerable delay in dispatching your order, if for any reason we cannot supply the products you order (for example for an event beyond our reasonable control) or if products ordered were subject to an error on our Site (for example in relation to a description, price or image). We will contact you using the details you provided when you placed your order.

5   Estimated delivery date

If an estimated delivery date is provided, this is intended as a goal for when we hope to start shipping and should not be treated as a guarantee. Delays can happen for a number of reasons when something new is being created. We aim to deliver on the estimated date to the best of our abilities.

6   Pre-orders

(a) We may offer our products on a pre-order basis.

(b) If a product is available for pre-order only (i.e. it is not currently in stock), this will be clearly indicated on our Site. We may display the date that the product is expected to be available for dispatch to you. These dates are an approximation only, and we will not be liable for any delay in the product being available for dispatch or the inaccuracy of the date.

(c) In order to place a pre-order for a product, you must pay a deposit as set out on the Site (Deposit) or pay in full (Full Payment). You will not receive your pre-order product until you have paid for it in full. If you paid a Deposit and fail to pay the balance by the due date, we reserve the right to cancel your pre-order and the Deposit will not be refunded.

(d) At the time you pay the Deposit, you may elect to pay the remaining for the Product in full. For your pre-order, if you pay upfront in full, you will be eligible to receive any bonus products listed on the Site. We will ship any bonus products you are eligible to receive within a reasonable timeframe following your full payment. Where you request cancellation of your pre-order prior to us shipping your bonus product(s), you forfeit the bonus products and we will not ship these to you.

(e) If you change your mind and request a refund. You acknowledge and agree that the 9.0% to be deducted from any amount to be refunded is a genuine, pre-estimate of the losses we may suffer or incur as a result of your pre-order cancellation (such as the processing fees and administration costs we incur in sourcing materials needed to manufacture your pre-order).

Cancelling Pre-Orders

If you change your mind and wish to cancel your pre-order, then this will be subject to our Change of Mind Return Policy which can be accessed https://ternx.com/pages/return-policy.
