Terms of Sale
By placing an order you are offering to purchase a product on and subject to the following terms and conditions. All orders are subject to availability and confirmation of the order price.

In order to contract with Lechacal.com you must be over 18 years of age and possess a valid credit or debit card issued by a bank acceptable to us. Lechacal.com retains the right to refuse any request made by you. If your order is accepted we will inform you by email and we will confirm the identity of the party which you have contracted with. This will usually be Lechacal.com or may in some cases be a third party. Where a contract is made with a third party Lechacal.com is not acting as either agent or principal and the contract is made between yourself and that third party and will be subject to the terms of sale which they supply you. When placing an order you undertake that all details you provide to us are true and accurate, that you are an authorized user of the credit or debit card used to place your order and that there are sufficient funds to cover the cost of the goods. The cost of foreign products and services may fluctuate. All prices advertised are subject to such changes.
(a) Our Contract
When you place an order, you will receive an acknowledgement e-mail confirming receipt of your order: this email will only be an acknowledgement and will not constitute acceptance of your order. A contract between us will not be formed until we send you confirmation by e-mail that the goods which you ordered have been dispatched to you. Only those goods listed in the confirmation e-mail sent at the time of dispatch will be included in the contract formed.
(b) Pricing and Availability
Whilst we try and ensure that all details, descriptions and prices which appear on this Website are accurate, errors may occur. If we discover an error in the price of any goods which you have ordered we will inform you of this as soon as possible and give you the option of reconfirming your order at the correct price or cancelling it. If we are unable to contact you we will treat the order as cancelled. If you cancel and you have already paid for the goods, you will receive a full refund.
Delivery costs will be charged in addition; such additional charges are clearly displayed where applicable and included in the 'Total Cost'.
(c) Payment
Upon receiving your order we carry out a standard authorization check on your payment card to ensure there are sufficient funds to fulfil the transaction. Your card will be debited upon authorisation being received. The monies received upon the debiting of your card shall be treated as a deposit against the value of the goods you wish to purchase. Once the goods have been despatched and you have been sent a confirmation email the monies paid as a deposit shall be used as consideration for the value of goods you have purchased as listed in the confirmation email.
(d) Deliveries
All orders sent outside of the UK are shipped on a DDU (Delivery Duty Unpaid) basis and may be subject to local customs import duty which is charged on the value of the purchase. Payment of these fees is the sole responsibility of the customer.
Payment of the duty charge is necessary for the release of your order from customs on arrival to your country
(e) Guarantee
Unless otherwise specified, our products are covered by a 3 month product warranty for failures due to manufacturing defects.
Product liability is not applicable for products used outside of the manufacturers intended application / operating conditions. Unless otherwise explicitly stated, no products on this website are approved for use in safety critical applications. Product liability does not extend to goods sent outside of the EU, do not order from us if this is unacceptable to you.
Valid claims under our warranty will at the discretion of LeChacal.com be refunded, repaired or replaced. Products should not be returned without first contacting LeChacal.com and include a brief reason for return. The purchaser shall ensure that any returned goods are suitably packaged and carriage paid and include any associated parts.
We cannot be held liable for consequential damage to other products should any item purchased prove to be faulty or sent in error. You are recommended to physically check any component purchased including markings, size, performance etc.. prior to use in case of a picking error on our part. Any claims for goods sent incorrectly must be notified in writing to LeChacal.com within 28 days of order receipt.
(f) Returns Policy
Business Customers: This returns policy does not apply to purchases made on behalf of a business where returns for unwanted goods can only be made after prior agreement of LeChacal.com.
Your rights as a consumer to return goods are protected under the EU Distance Selling Directive (DSR). You may cancel an unwanted order in writing for a refund (excluding any optional shipping insurances) within 7 days following the day of receipt of the goods purchased. Cancelled goods must be returned at the purchasers expense as soon as practicable following the notification of cancellation. Goods should be returned with their original packaging along with a copy of the invoice provided at the time of purchase. Any item damaged whilst being evaluated for their suitability will no longer be covered under the DSR's. Our returns policy excludes any product especially ordered in (defined as not being listed on the Technobots website) or the item being identified on the website as a 'Special Order Item'). Products listed as a non-stock item with an origin from outside the UK also fall outside of the requirements of the DSR's as their pricing is subject to change due to fluctuations of the $/£ exchange rate. Any item especially modified by LeChacal.com to the customers specific requirements are not covered by the DSR's, an example of this is the custom boring and or tapping of transmission components.
