Product Terms & Conditions

tescocontractmobilephones.com Product Terms & Conditions

Please read these Product Terms and Conditions carefully as they affect your rights and liabilities under the law and set out the terms under which Tesco Telecoms makes the products available to you via the tescocontractmobilephones.com website (Tesco Contract Phones Site).

Mobile phone purchases are also subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable network provider. Please see Network Terms and Conditions for these.

1. Prices and product information

The prices payable for the items that you order are clearly set out on the Tesco Contract Phones Site.

Every effort is made to ensure that prices shown on the Tesco Contract Phones Site are correct. If, by mistake, we have under priced an item, we will not be liable to supply that item to you at the stated price, provided that we notify you before we despatch the item concerned. In those circumstances, we will notify the correct price to you so you can decide whether or not you wish to order the item at that price.

All prices are expressed inclusive of any VAT payable unless otherwise stated.

The price of the items does not include the delivery charge which will be charged at the rates applicable at the date you place your order and which will be displayed in the 'Help' section of the Tesco Contact Phones Site.

Product information is included on the Tesco Contract Phones Site and if there is anything which you do not understand, or if you want information, please see our jargon buster and buyers’ guide.

2. Mobile phones bulk buy policy

To ensure availability of all our mobile phones, customers for Contract phones are limited to a maximum of one phone per order.

3. Availability

Only items which are in stock will be shown on the Tesco Telecoms Site. If for any reason beyond our reasonable control, we are unable to supply a particular item we will not be liable to you except to ensure that you are not charged for that item.

4. Acceptance

Your order is an offer to buy from us. Nothing that we do or say will amount to any acceptance of that offer until we actually despatch the goods to you, at which point a contract will be made between us. At any point up until then you may cancel your order or we may decline to supply the goods to you. Acceptance of the offer and despatch of Contract phones is subject to your successful completion of a credit check.

By placing an order you are authorising us to accept signature from another person on your behalf if you are not present at the time of delivery.

Where items are despatched separately, then our acceptance of the order in respect of each item takes place when that item is despatched, and you will be charged for each item when it is despatched.

5. Delivery

Delivery will be made to the address specified by you on the completed order form.

We are able to deliver Contract phones to England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. We can deliver other products to England, Wales and Scotland only.

Your order will be delivered by Parcel line which you will have to sign for. If you are unavailable when they call Parcel line will leave a card, and you will need to call them to re-arrange the delivery.

Whilst we make every effort to deliver all your goods within 30 days of the date of your order, we will not be liable if we fail to do so in part or in full due to circumstances beyond our control.

For orders placed before 12 noon we aim to deliver your order the next day (except for weekends and bank holidays) and in any event we aim to deliver within 3 to 7 working days. As stated above, despatch of Contract phones is subject to successful completion of a credit check and this may delay despatch and delivery of your order.

Some items will be delivered direct from the manufacturer who will contact you to arrange delivery.

Please note that once the delivery of the items has been arranged directly with the manufacturer, you will be subject to the manufacturer's delivery policy.

Ownership of the item(s) will not pass to you until such time as we have received payment of the purchase price in full. Risk of damage to or loss of the item shall pass to you at the time of delivery of the item(s).

Cashback/gifts/promotional items that are given away in conjunction with a purchase may be despatched to you separately and delivery times may vary.

If you change your mind and return your item under the returns policy in section 8 below you must also return any free gift/cashback/promotional item received by you as a result of that order.
