1.2. By clicking the “Complete order” button on the order page, you confirm that you would like to purchase the Products in your cart (an “Order Request”). A binding agreement that ROLI will deliver the Products will not be formed between you and ROLI until you have paid the full amount due as set out in the Order Request and ROLI sends you an Order Confirmation with a Customer Order Number.

No Order Request shall be deemed accepted unless and until confirmed by an Order Confirmation from ROLI.

1.4. Only Products listed in ROLI’s Order Confirmation form part of that Contract. If you notice any inaccuracies or errors in your Order Confirmation or you have made any mistakes in the information that you provided, you must contact ROLI promptly upon receipt, ideally immediately, so that we have the opportunity to correct any mistake or clarify any misunderstanding before commencing delivery/performance.

1.5. If ROLI is unable to fulfil your order for any reason, we will notify you, and promptly return to you any payment received by us.

2. Right to Cancel Online Orders

You can cancel your order anytime prior to it being shipped however, there may be occasions when we are still unable to intercept Products leaving our warehouse while being shipped to you. Should this occur, you will need to accept delivery of your order and then submit a return request, free of charge. Please refer to our Returns and Transfers Policy for further details.

3. Online Pricing

3.1. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the price and specification for the Products shall be set out on the ROLI website.

4. Delivery and Ownership for Online Orders

4.1. We shall use all reasonable endeavors to deliver the Products to you. The times stated and your Delivery Date are only estimates and do not equate to actual delivery times. If you have ordered several Products at one time, the Products may be delivered on different Days. Delivery will not be of the essence unless previously agreed by us in writing. We will not be held liable for any delay in delivery caused by late settlement by the buyer of the remaining balance prior to dispatch or due to forces out of our control.

4.2. ROLI may not ship to your country. Reasons for non-shipment may include trade restrictions or lack of availability of courier service in your area. Please see the Delivery FAQs for details on availability of international shipping. If ROLI does not ship to your country, Please see the Delivery FAQs for details on availability of international shipping.

4.4. The Products may be delivered in advance of the Delivery Date upon reasonable notice to you.

4.5. If you fail to take delivery of the Products or any part of them on the Delivery Date and/or fail to provide any instructions, documents, licences, consents or authorisations required to enable the Products to be delivered on that date, we shall be entitled, upon written notice, to store or arrange for the storage of the Products. If redelivery is required, you will be held liable for any extra courier and insurance costs and expenses.

4.6. Title to the Products (except any Software included which is subject to the ROLI Terms of Use and End User Licence Agreement) will pass to you once ROLI receives payment in full, or when we deliver the Products to you (or your representative), whichever is later. The transfer of ownership of the Products does not mean that you own any Intellectual Property Rights in the Products you purchase from ROLI. If the Contract is terminated before that passing of title in the Products occurs, we may recover any Products supplied to you and you agree to assist us in such circumstances.
