We are Ryan Downes, trading as Ryanbuildswheels of Unit 6, Minto Road Industrial Estate, Ashley Parade, St Werburghs, BS2 9YW(Ryan we or us))
You, as the customer are referred to as ‘you’ throughout these terms.
This contract sets out your legal rights and responsibilities of both you and us, together with some key information we have to give you by law.
These terms are used for when we enter into a contract away from our business premises, generally via the Internet or by email or perhaps at your home or work premises.
1 Information
1.1 If you buy wheels or other cycle products from us (goods) you agree to be legally bound by these terms.
1.2 By law under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional charges) Regulations 2013, we must give you some key information before a legally binding contract is made. We will give you this information in a clear and understandable way. This information is included within these terms or within the order form for the goods.
1.3 If we have to change any of the important information once a legally binding contract has been made, we can only do so if you agree to it.
2 Ordering goods from us
2.1 A legally binding contract is made as follows:

2.1.2 You place an order for goods with us and this is your offer to buy goods from us.
2.1.3 When you place your order, we will acknowledge it. When we acknowledge it, we will say whether we accept or do not accept your order.
2.1.4 Once we have accepted your order in writing (generally by email) a legally binding contract will be in place.

3.1 You have a right to cancel most contracts within 14 days without giving any reason. The cancellation period will expire 14 days after you receive acceptance from us of your order.
3.2 To exercise the right to cancel, you must inform us of your decision by a clear statement in writing (eg a letter sent by post or email). You can use the model cancellation form at the end of these terms, but you do not have to do so.

In this case, we will let you know if we intend to do this, if this is possible. You can refuse to accept such a substitute, in which case we will offer you a refund or a replacement, which will be available for as long as we tell you.
