Terms & Conditions of Sale

Making a purchase online


Purchase Process

Making a purchase could not be easier. Just browse our store, and add any items that you wish to buy into the shopping cart. After you have finished your selection, click on "Checkout" and you will be asked for a few details that we need to be able to complete the order.

We take credit card payment through Braintree and accept PayPal,  Maestro, Visa, AMEX and Mastercard. Braintree is an independent credit card processor, which means we never see your credit card details, nor are they stored by Instrotech anywhere online or offline. We reserve the right to use an independent credit checking agency to verify credit card details and the registered address, in order to protect our customers from credit card fraud.

You are able to correct errors on your order up to the point at which you click on "submit" on the final page of our ordering process. You may send your credit card information via phone.

When you receive confirmation of your order, this indicates that we have received your order. It does not indicate that a contract exists between us. A contract between us will not be formed until your order has been accepted by us and we have debited your credit or debit card or we have received and accepted an official purchase order. We invoice on despatch.  We have included this term to protect us in the case that a mistake has been made in pricing, we have inadvertently under-priced goods, or we are no longer able to supply a particular product for some reason. In the case of a change of price, we will always contact you first to ensure that the revised price is acceptable to you. 

Delivery and handling

Delivery  is free of charge for orders of £99.00 or above (excluding VAT). For orders under £99 (excluding VAT) shipping is charged at £5.95 +VAT

We use either first class recorded delivery or a courier. Someone will have to sign for the delivery and you will be responsible for the products as soon as they are delivered.

Please note the following postcode in outlying regions may take extra time: HS1 - 9, IM, IV, KA27 - 28, KW, PA, PH, TR & ZE.

If we cannot deliver the products to you at the address you have specified for any reason (other than when we are at fault), we will notify you and the products will be stored for you to arrange collection or redelivery. Redelivery will be charged at £10.00 + VAT if you are at fault. 


Delivery schedule

Drawing on our large stocks, we can usually get orders confirmed before 2.00pm to you for the next working day (orders with calibration may be delayed for an extra day).

Please call the Sales department if you require overseas delivery. 

Stock and back orders

Please note that an item being advertised as "in stock" or "limited stock" means the item is physically in our warehouse but there is a small chance it might've already been committed to another customer. If your item is not in stock, we will back order for you. You will always be contacted via phone or email with the option to cancel your order if you would rather not wait. 

Tax charges

For orders made from the UK VAT is added at the current rate. All other orders are VAT free. If you are VAT registered in the EU, but outside the UK, we can ship to you VAT free on provision of your own VAT No. 

Credit card security

Card transactions are processed by Braintree, who use advanced encryption for secure transmission of your information.

Guarantee

All of our new products, except consumables, are supported by their manufacturer's guarantee ranging from 12 months up to 3 years. Some products have a lifetime guarantee (qualifications apply). Special terms apply to ex demo, ex hire and other non new equipment sales.
