3.2 If we cannot accept your order. If we are unable to accept your order, we will inform you of this in writing and will not charge you for the product. This might be, by way of example only, because the product is out of stock, because of a technical problem, because of unexpected limits on our resources which we could not reasonably plan for, because we have identified an error in the price or description of the product or because we are unable to meet a delivery deadline you have specified.

3.3 Your order number. We will assign an order number to your order and tell you what it is when we accept your order. It will help us if you can tell us the order number whenever you contact us about your order.

4.2 Product packaging may vary. The packaging of the product may vary from that shown in images on our website.

4.3 Pre-Order products. From time to time, you may be able to “Pre-Order” a product. Pre-Order means that we do not currently have the item in stock, and we are awaiting delivery.

If you wish to make a change to the product you have ordered please contact us as soon as possible. We will let you know if the change is possible. If it is possible we will let you know about any changes to the price of the product, the timing of supply or anything else which would be necessary as a result of your requested change and ask you to confirm whether you wish to go ahead with the change. If we cannot make the change or the consequences of making the change are unacceptable to you, you may want to end the contract (see clause 8 - Your rights to end the contract).

6. Our rights to make changes

6.1 Minor changes to the products. We may change the product to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements.

6.2 More significant changes to the products and these terms.

7.3 We are not responsible for delays outside our control. If our supply of the products is delayed by an event outside our control then we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and we will take steps to minimise the effect of the delay. Provided we do this we will not be liable for delays caused by the event, but if there is a risk of substantial delay you may contact us to end the contract and receive a refund for any products you have paid for but not received.

If, despite our reasonable efforts, we are unable to contact you or re-arrange delivery or collection we may end the contract and clause 2 will apply.

7.7 When you become responsible for the goods. The goods will be your responsibility from the time we deliver the product to the address you gave us or you collect it from us.

7.8 When you own goods. You own the goods once we have received payment in full.

7.9 What will happen if you do not give required information to us. We may need certain information from you so that we can supply the products to you, for example, the name or number for personalisation of a shirt or scarf. You are responsible for ensuring that the specification is correct including the spelling of any name, shirt number and shirt size. If so, this will have been stated in the description of the products on our website. We will not be responsible for supplying products and we may end the contract with you in accordance with clause 1.4 where we deem that a personalised shirt (or other personalised product) request is and/or could be interpreted as offensive, abusive or damaging to our reputation and good will and/or may infringe our intellectual property rights and/or the intellectual property rights of a third party.

7.10.1 deal with technical problems or make minor technical changes;

7.10.3 make changes to the product as requested by you or notified by us to you (see clause 6).

7.11 Your rights if we suspend the supply of goods. We will contact you in advance to tell you we will be suspending supply of the product, unless the problem is urgent or an emergency. If we have to suspend the product we will adjust the price so that you do not pay for products while they are suspended. You may contact us to end the contract for a product if we suspend it, or tell you we are going to suspend it, in each case for a period of more than four (4) weeks and we will refund any sums you have paid in advance for the product in respect of the period after you end the contract.

8. Your rights to end the contract

8.1 You can always end your contract with us. Your rights when you end the contract will depend on what you have bought, whether there is anything wrong with it, how we are performing and when you decide to end the contract:

8.1.1 If what you have bought is faulty or misdescribed you may have a legal right to end the contract (or to get the product repaired or replaced or to get some or all of your money back), see clause 11;

8.1.2 If you want to end the contract because of something we have done or have told you we are going to do, see clause 2;

8.1.3 If you have just changed your mind about the product, see clause 3. You may be able to get a refund if you are within the cooling-off period, but this may be subject to deductions and you will have to pay the costs of return of any goods;

8.1.4 In all other cases (if we are not at fault and there is no right to change your mind), see clause 7.

8.2 Ending the contract because of something we have done or are going to do. If you are ending a contract for a reason set out at clauses 2.1 to 8.2.5 below the contract will end immediately and we will refund you in full for any products which have not been provided and you may also be entitled to compensation. The reasons are:

8.2.1 we have told you about an upcoming change to the product or these terms which you do not agree to (see clause 2);

8.2.2 we have told you about an error in the price or description of the product you have ordered and you do not wish to proceed;

8.2.3 there is a risk that supply of the products may be significantly delayed because of events outside our control;

8.2.4 we have suspended supply of the products for technical reasons, or notify you we are going to suspend them for technical reasons, in each case for a period of more than four (4) weeks; or

8.2.5 you have a legal right to end the contract because of something we have done wrong.

8.3 Exercising your right to change your mind (Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013). For most products bought online you have a legal right to change your mind within fourteen (14) days and receive a refund. These rights, under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, are explained in more detail in these terms.

8.4 Our goodwill guarantee. Please note, these terms reflect the goodwill guarantee offered by Leicester City Football Club Limited of King Power Stadium, Filbert Way, Leicester, Leicestershire, LE2 7FL to its UK customers, which is more generous than your legal rights under the Consumer Contracts Regulations in the ways set out below. This goodwill guarantee does not affect your legal rights in relation to faulty or misdescribed products (see clause 2):

Right under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 How our goodwill guarantee is more generous
Fourteen (14) day period to change your mind. Twenty-eight (28) day period to change your mind.
Consumer to pay costs of return. We pay the costs of return where items delivered are faulty or do not correspond with the products ordered.
Consumer to pay costs or return for all other products or alternatively, they can be returned for free in the Foxes Fanstore.

8.5 When you don’t have the right to change your mind. You do not have a right to change your mind in respect of:

8.5.1 products sealed for health protection or hygiene purposes, once these have been unsealed after you receive them;

8.5.2 gift cards;

8.5.3 perishable items including food and drink;

8.5.4 customised, bespoke or personalised products, which have been made to your specification (for example replica shirts with any form of personalisation (including player names)); or

8.5.5 a product, which is right at the time of publication and purchased with a player’s allocated squad number and name, if that player leaves the club, is transferred or changes squad numbers.

8.6 How long do I have to change my mind? You have twenty-eight (28) days after the day you (or someone you nominate) receives the goods to change your mind about the goods.

8.7 Ending the contract where we are not at fault and there is no right to change your mind. Even if we are not at fault and you do not have a right to change your mind (see clause 1), you can still end the contract before it is completed, but you may have to pay us compensation. A contract for goods is completed when the product is delivered and paid for. If you want to end a contract before it is completed, where we are not at fault and you have not changed your mind, just contact us to let us know. The contract will end immediately and we will refund any sums paid by you for products not provided but we may deduct from that refund reasonable compensation for the net costs we will incur as a result of your ending the contract.

In all other circumstances you must pay the costs of return.

9.4 How we will refund you. We will refund you the price you paid for the products including delivery costs, by the method you used for payment. However, we may make deductions from the price, as described below.

9.5 Deductions from refunds if you are exercising your right to change your mind. If you are exercising your right to change your mind:

9.5.1 We may reduce your refund of the price (excluding delivery costs) to reflect any reduction in the value of the goods if this has been caused by your handling them in a way which would not be permitted in a shop. If we refund you the price paid before we are able to inspect the goods and later discover you have handled them in an unacceptable way, you must pay us an appropriate amount.

9.5.2 The maximum refund for delivery costs will be the costs of delivery by the least expensive delivery method we offer. For example, if we offer delivery of a product within 3-5 days at one cost but you choose to have the product delivered within twenty-four (24) hours at a higher cost, then we will only refund what you would have paid for the cheaper delivery option.

9.6 When your refund will be made. We will make any refunds due to you as soon as possible. If you are exercising your right to change your mind then your refund will be made within seven (7) working days from the day on which we receive the product back from you or, if earlier, the day on which you provide us with evidence that you have sent the product back to us.

10.1.2 you do not, within a reasonable time, allow us to deliver the products to you or collect them from us;

10.1.3 an item is out of stock; or

10.2 How we will refund you. If we end the contract in the situations set out in clause 1 we will refund any money you have paid in advance for products we have not provided, by the method you used for payment. The refund will be made within seven (7) working days from the date of our written notice to end the contract with you.

10.3 We may withdraw the product. We may write to you to let you know that we are going to stop providing the product.

12. Price and payment

12.1 Where to find the price for the product. The price of the product (which includes UK VAT) will be the price indicated on the order pages when you placed your order. We take all reasonable care to ensure that the price of the product advised to you is correct. However please see clause 4 for what happens if we discover an error in the price of the product you order.

12.2 International charges. Please note that additional costs including duty, clearance, tax or carrier charges may be applicable and payable by you once the product enters its destination country.

12.3 We will pass on changes in the rate of VAT. If the rate of VAT changes between your order date and the date we supply the product, we will adjust the rate of VAT that you pay, unless you have already paid for the product in full before the change in the rate of VAT takes effect.

12.4 What happens if we got the price wrong. It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the products we sell may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices before accepting your order so that, where the product’s correct price at your order date is less than our stated price at your order date, we will charge the lower amount. If the product’s correct price at your order date is higher than the price stated to you, we will contact you for your instructions before we accept your order.

If we accept and process your order where a pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could reasonably have been recognised by you as a mispricing, we may end the contract, refund you any sums you have paid and require the return of any goods provided to you.

12.5 When you must pay and how you must pay. We accept payment with Visa, MasterCard and Maestro. Your debit or credit card will be charged on submission of your order. You must pay for the products before we dispatch them. Please ensure all card details have been entered correctly and you have sufficient funds in your account. Your billing address must also match with where the card is registered. If all details are correct and you are still experiencing problems please contact us at [email protected].

12.6 What to do if you think an invoice is wrong. If you think an invoice is wrong please contact us promptly to let us know.

13. Our responsibility for loss or damage suffered by you

13.1 We are responsible to you for foreseeable loss and damage caused by us. If we fail to comply with these terms, we are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breaking this contract or our failing to use reasonable care and skill, but we are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable. Loss or damage is foreseeable if either it is obvious that it will happen or if, at the time the contract was made, both we and you knew it might happen, for example, if you discussed it with us during the sales process.

13.2 We do not exclude or limit in any way our liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so. This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors; for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; for breach of your legal rights in relation to the products as summarised at clause 2; and for defective products under the Consumer Protection Act 1987.

13.3 We are not liable for business losses. We only supply the products for domestic and private use. If you use the products for any commercial, business or re-sale purpose we will have no liability to you for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity.

14. How we may use your personal information

14.1 How we may use your personal information. We will only use your personal information as set out in our Privacy Policy https://www.lcfc.com/club/privacy.

15. Other important terms

15.1 We may transfer this agreement to someone else. We may transfer our rights and obligations under these terms to another organisation. We will always tell you in writing if this happens and we will ensure that the transfer will not affect your rights under the contract.

15.2 You need our consent to transfer your rights to someone else (except that you can always transfer our guarantee). You may only transfer your rights or your obligations under these terms to another person if we agree to this in writing. However, you may transfer our guarantee at clause 4 to a person who has acquired the product. We may require the person to whom the guarantee is transferred to provide reasonable evidence that they are now the owner of the relevant item or property and when they became the owner.

15.3 Nobody else has any rights under this contract (except someone you pass your guarantee on to). This contract is between you and us. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms, except as explained in clause 2 in respect of our guarantee. Neither of us will need to get the agreement of any other person in order to end the contract or make any changes to these terms.

15.4 If a court finds part of this contract illegal, the rest will continue in force. Each of the paragraphs of these terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.

15.5 Even if we delay in enforcing this contract, we can still enforce it later. If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking this contract, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date. For example, if you miss a payment and we do not chase you but we continue to provide the products, we can still require you to make the payment at a later date.

15.6 Which laws apply to this contract and where you may bring legal proceedings. These terms are governed by English law and you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the products in the English courts. If you live in Scotland you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the products in either the Scottish or the English courts. If you live in Northern Ireland you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the products in either the Northern Irish or the English courts.
