2.1. If, in these terms and conditions, we say that either of us may contact the other in ‘writing’, then this means it can be by letter or by email.
3. Your personal information
3.1. For information about how we collect and use your personal information, please see our website privacy notice, which is available at https://www.unmannedtechshop.co.uk/privacy-policy/.
4. Order Process and the Contract between you and us
4.1. When you place an order with us, the legal contract between you and us will only come into existence when we tell you that we can provide the goods to you, which we will usually communicate by email. If we tell you that we cannot provide the goods to you for whatever reason, then we will not charge you for them. If we tell you that we are unable to provide the goods, and we have already received payment from you, then we will promptly refund you for any goods that we cannot provide to you and you do not want to wait for.
5. About the goods
5.1. Any descriptions or images of the goods, and the packaging in which they are provided, which are set out on our website, are for illustration only. While we endeavour to be as accurate and consistent as possible, the goods may be slightly different to those descriptions or images. Some product images also show the products being used in their typical environments and may include additional products that are not included with the product you wish to purchase.
5.2. If you place an order for goods that are to be made to measurements that you have given to us, then you must ensure that those measurements are accurate. You are responsible for them.
5.3. Most of the products we sell, unless indicated otherwise are sold as “developer/experimental” products. By placing an order on our website you agree that you have the required knowledge and expertise to safely install, configure, troubleshoot and use the products you have ordered.
6. Changes to goods
6.1. If you would like to make a change to the goods for which you have already placed an order, please contact us via email or by creating a support request at https://help.unmannedtech.co.uk/portal/en-gb/newticket. We will always be willing to discuss with you whether the change you would like to make is possible, and whether there are likely to be any changes to price, times for delivery, any suspension period whilst any changes are made, or any other consequences or changes arising from your request. If your requested change is possible, we’ll ask you to confirm that you would like to continue with the change, to ensure that we’re both clear on how we need to fulfil your request.
6.2. In some circumstances, we may need to make minor changes to the services that you ordered. As these are minor changes and will not affect your use of the services we will not usually contact you about these. These minor changes are likely to be:
- because we need update the goods to implement a change in the law or a regulatory requirement; and/or
- because we need to make minor technical changes or enhancements that will not affect your use, handling or enjoyment of the goods.
6.3. It is possible that, exceptionally, we may need to make a more major change to the goods. If these exceptional circumstances arise in relation to an order that you have placed with us, then we will contact you before we make the change to let you know. If you do not want to proceed with the change, you’ll be entitled to cancel the contract and section 15.1 (cancellation terms) of these terms and conditions will apply.The changes that we expect to fall under this section are:
- substitute the colour of some goods if the colour you ordered is not available.
- substitute some products for functionally equivalent products (or never versions) when we cannot source/make the original product you ordered.
7. Payment details
7.1. The price of the goods will be the price set out on our website at the time when you place your order. Our prices include VAT at the current rate.
7.2. We make all reasonable efforts to ensure that we do not make errors with the prices that we charge you. For example, before we accept your order, we usually try to check the website price against our price list in force at the time of your order. However, if an error has been made and the price in the price list is lower than the website price, then we will charge you the price on the price list (being the lower amount). If an error has been made and the price in the price list is higher than the website price, we will contact you to confirm how you would like to proceed (and if you want to cancel the contract section 15.1 of these terms and conditions will apply).
7.3. Any costs for delivery of the goods and other costs associated with the goods will be the amounts that were set out to you in the order process on our website.
7.4. When you need to pay us depends on whether the goods are one-off or provided on a subscription basis:
- For one-off goods, you must pay for them before we deliver them to you;
- For subscriptions to goods you must pay monthly, in advance;
7.5. We accept payment by credit/debit card, PayPal and bank transfer payment.
8. Delivery and collection of goods
8.1. Before you place your order , on our order pages, we will let you know when we will deliver the goods to you. Delivery and supply times will depend on whether the goods you have ordered are one-off or subscriptions:
- For one-off goods, unless we have agreed another date with you, we will deliver within 30 days of the date on which we accepted your order;
- For subscriptions to goods, we will provide the goods to you during the times as told to you during the order process until the contract is cancelled by you (see section 15 – your rights to cancel) or by us (see section 16 – our rights to cancel) or until we withdraw the goods (see section 1
8.2. We will contact you if we are delayed in delivering the goods to you because of circumstances that are not within our control. If we contact you within a reasonable time to let you know about this, then we will not be responsible for any delays due to those circumstances. However, if the delay continues beyond a reasonable amount of time, then you can contact us to cancel the contract, and we will provide you with a refund for any goods that you have paid for but not yet received.
8.3. If we cannot post the goods through your letterbox and/or no one is available to take delivery of them when we try to deliver them to you, we may deliver the goods at your stated delivery address and you will receive a note (or an online equivalent, for example, an update to the courier’s tracking information page) informing you that the goods have been delivered.
Couriers may implement “safe-space” (or equivalent) delivery methods, should no recipient be available to take ownership of the shipment at the time of the courier’s arrival to the property to which the shipment is addressed. This may involve delivery of the shipment being made to any location on or immediately surrounding the property to which the shipment is addressed. In the event of a “safe-space,” or equivalent, delivery being made to the property to which the shipment is addressed, the shipment will be considered as successfully delivered. By accepting these terms, you accept and understand that “safe-space” (or equivalent) delivery methods may be utilised should the courier, for any reason, not be able to deliver the shipment directly to the named recipient, and that we (Unmanned Tech Limited), will accept no responsibility for loss of the shipment subsequent to a “safe-space” (or equivalent) delivery being made.
Alternatively, if the parcel is not left at your stated delivery address, then you will receive a note about how to re-arrange delivery and/or how to collect the goods. If you then do not re-arrange delivery of the goods or collect them from the place specified in the note, we will contact you for instructions about what to do next and we may charge you for the storage costs we incur during this period as well as any further delivery costs in respect of a re-arranged delivery.
If after this, we are still unable to arrange the re-delivery or collection of the goods with you, then we may cancel the contract and the consequences set out in section 16.2 below will apply.
8.4. If you told us that you would like to collect the goods, then you can collect them once we have confirmed that they are ready for collection. You can collect them between 10:00 – 17:00 on Monday-Friday (excluding bank holidays, and business closures). If you do not collect the goods from us within 3 days of us letting you know that they are ready for collection, we will contact you about what to do next, and we may charge you for the storage costs we incur during this period. If we are still unable to arrange collection of the goods with you, then we may cancel the contract, and the consequences set out in section 16.2 will apply.
9. Suspension
9.1. If something happens that means we must suspend the supply of the goods to you, for example:
- to make minor technical adjustments or to resolve technical issues;
- to update the goods to implement a change in law or any relevant regulatory requirement,
then we will contact you to let you know.
9.2. We will usually let you know in advance of any suspension unless it is an emergency – in which case, we will let you know as soon as reasonably possible. If we do suspend the supply of goods , your payment will be adjusted so that you do not pay for the relevant suspended item during the period of suspension.
9.3. If we are going to suspend the supply of a good for more than 60 days then you may contact us to cancel the contract. We will provide you with a refund for the relevant good for which you have made payment, but have not yet received.

11.2. If you don’t provide us with this required information in a reasonable time, or if information that you give us is not accurate, we may cancel the contract (and the consequences set out in section 16.2 will apply), or we may charge you for the additional costs that we incur as a result.
11.3. If you don’t give us required information within a reasonable time, we will not be liable to you if this causes a delay in providing you with the goods, or if we do not provide any part of them to you.

14.1. Your rights to cancel during the cooling-off period are in addition to and are separate from your other rights to cancel the contract. Those other rights are set out in section 15 below.
14.2. When you buy goods from a website, in most cases you will have the right to cancel the contract (under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013) within the cooling-off period (explained in section 14.3 below) because you have changed your mind. (This right exists unless one of the circumstances set out in section 14.4 below applies.) If you rely on these cancellation rights to cancel the contract during the cooling-off period, you do not have to provide us with any reason for cancelling.
14.3. The length of the cooling-off period during which you can cancel the contract due to a change of mind depends on how you have ordered goods. It is also subject to certain exceptions that are set out in section 14.4 below. You can calculate the cooling-off period as follows:
- For a one-off delivery of goods, you have up to 14 days after the day you receive the goods to cancel the contract;
- For goods that have been ordered together but that are delivered to you separately on different days, then you have up to 14 days after the day you receive the last delivery of goods to cancel the contract;
- For subscriptions to goods, you have up to 14 days after the day you receive the first delivery of goods under the subscription to cancel the contract.
14.4. If any of the following circumstances applies to the goods that you have ordered, then the cancellation rights during the cooling-off period do not apply to you and you will not have the right to cancel the contract in respect of those goods because you have changed your mind:
- if the goods have been personalised or made to your specification;
- if the goods that you have ordered are sealed for health or hygiene reasons and you have broken the seal on them;
- if the goods that you have ordered are sealed audio or video recordings, or computer software and you have broken the seal on them;
- if you have combined the goods with other goods and they are inseparable;
- if the goods are of a kind that will deteriorate rapidly.
14.5. If you want to cancel the contract because you have changed your mind, then you should let us know before the end of the cooling-off period (as calculated in accordance with section 14.3) in one of the following ways:
- contacting us on the details set out in section 1 and include your name, email address, address and order details providing a clear statement that you want to cancel; or
- filling out the form that is available at https://help.unmannedtech.co.uk/portal/en-gb/newticket and submitting it to us, or print off that form and post it to us, in either case using the details set out in section 1.
14.6. If you have ordered goods, then you must return the goods at your cost to us within 14 days of letting us know that you want to cancel the contract because you have changed your mind. If the goods are lithium batteries or other products not suitable to be sent via post then you should contact us promptly to make arrangements for collection, which will be at your cost. Currently our collection charge is £25.
14.7. If you cancel the contract during the cooling-off period because you have changed your mind, then we will provide you with a refund for the goods as well as any standard delivery costs that you paid, but if you chose a more expensive delivery option than our standard delivery when you placed your order, then we will only refund you an amount equivalent to our standard delivery costs. If you have cancelled an order for goods, then we will provide you with the refund using the same method of payment that you used to pay us within 14 days of the day we receive the goods back from you or, if earlier within 14 days of you providing us with proof that the goods have been sent back to us. If your order does not include goods that need to be returned to us then we will provide you with a refund within 14 days of the day after you let us know that you want to cancel the contract.
14.8. We have the right to make a deduction from the refund due to you if you cancel the contract during the cooling-off period. The deduction will be equivalent to any loss in value of the goods that is due to unnecessary handling of the goods by you. Any products must not be soldered to or modified in anyway, this includes and is not limited to changing firmware and configuration settings. So, you should not handle the goods any more than is necessary to establish the nature and characteristics of the goods. If we have already provided you with a refund, then we may charge you the amount that we would have deducted.
15. Your rights to cancel the contract
15.1. In addition to your rights to cancel the contract during the cooling-off period set out in section 14, if any of the following circumstances apply, you have the right to cancel this contract immediately:

15.3. If you are cancelling the contract for any other reason that is not set out in section 15.1 or section 14 (where you are cancelling the contract during the cooling-off period) or that is due to a fault with the goods (see section 12), then the contract will end immediately and we will provide you with a refund for any goods that you have paid for but not yet received. However, we may make a reduction from the refund due to you, or if you are not due a refund because you have not yet made payment, then we may charge you an amount of reasonable compensation for costs that we incur due to you cancelling the contract.
15.4. If you cancel the contract after we have dispatched goods, then you must return the goods to us (by returning the goods in person to the place where you bought them or posting them back to us, or if they are not suitable for posting, then you must allow us to collect them from you). If you cancel the contract because of circumstances set out in section 15.1 or because there is a fault with them (see section 12), we will pay the costs of returning the goods to us or the costs of collecting them from you. If you cancel the contract for any other reason including under section 14, you will be responsible for the costs of returning the goods to us or for contacting us promptly to make arrangements for collection, which will be at your cost. Currently our collection charge is £25.

- you do not collect the goods within a reasonable time and you do not re-arrange collection (see section 8.4);

However we may make a reduction from the refund due to you, or if you are not due a refund because you have not yet made payment, then we may charge you, an amount of reasonable compensation for costs that we incur due to having to cancel the contract.
17. If we stop providing goods
17.1. If the goods with which we provide you are provided on an ongoing or subscription basis (and are not a one-off purchase), we may decide at some point in the future to stop providing them. If we decide to stop providing them, we will contact you at least 14 days before we stop providing them, to let you know. If you have made payment for goods that we will no longer be providing to you, we will give you the relevant refund for what you will not receive.
18. General
18.1. We may transfer our rights and obligations under these terms and conditions to another organisation. We will contact you to let you know if we do so. Any transfer will not affect your rights under these terms and conditions.
18.2. You cannot transfer any of your rights or obligations under these terms and conditions to anyone else without first getting our consent in writing.
18.3. If a court decides that any part of these terms and conditions are invalid or unenforceable, the remaining sections of these terms and conditions will not be affected and will remain in place.
18.4. If we delay in exercising any right we have under the contract, this will not stop us from exercising that right against you at a later date.
18.5. Unless we transfer our rights and obligations to another organisation, then this contract is only between you and us. This means no other person or organisation is a party to this contract and they do not have any rights under the contract.
18.6. If there is ever any dispute between you and us, then it will be resolved using the law of England and Wales. If you live in England or Wales, we both agree respectively that proceedings will be brought in the English courts. However, if you live in Scotland, you can bring proceedings in Scottish or English courts and if you live in Northern Ireland you can bring proceedings in Northern Irish or English courts.
