Marketing Communications
We may send you marketing communications. You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes. You can unsubscribe from receiving marketing communications from us by using the unsubscribe methods contained in the communications we send to you or by contacting us. See Contact Us. Where you opt out of receiving marketing communications, this will not apply to personal data provided to us as a result of registering for or using our service, your service experience, or other interactions with this website.

Sharing Your Personal Information
We do not and will not sell any of your personal data to any third party, including your name, contact information, or payment information. We may have to share your personal data with the parties set out below:

  • Internally: Your personal data will be used by our employees and contractors who are working on providing your services to you on a need-to-know basis.
  • Suppliers: This includes service providers who support our business, including IT and communication suppliers and outsourced business support, to ensure our service runs smoothly.
  • Professional Advisers: This includes lawyers, bankers, auditors, and insurers who provide consultancy, banking, legal, insurance, and accounting services.
  • Law Enforcement Bodies, Regulators, and Other Authorities: This is to comply with our legal requirements or adhere to good practices.
  • Advertising Networks and Analytics Service Providers: This supports and displays ads on our website and other social media tools. We use Google Analytics to help us understand how our customers use the site — you can read more about how Google uses your personal information here. You can also opt out of Google Analytics here.
  • Third Parties: This is in the context of the acquisition or transfer of any part of our business or in connection with a business reorganization. If a change happens to our business, then the new owners may use your personal data in the same way as set out in this privacy notice.

Do Not Track
Please note that we do not alter our site’s data collection and use practices when we see a "Do Not Track" signal from your browser.

International Transfers
We may transfer and process your personal data outside of the United Kingdom/European Union to countries where data protection laws are less stringent than those in the UK/EU. When we transfer your personal data outside of the UK/EU, we only do so to entities that offer our users the same level of data protection as that afforded by the UK Data Protection Act 2018, UK GDPR, and the EU GDPR.

  • We will only transfer your personal information to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal information.
  • We will use specific contracts approved for use in the UK or EU, which give personal information the same protection it has in the UK/EU. For example, the use of Article 46 UK and EU GDPR safeguard mechanisms to transfer personal data endorsed by the UK Government or European Commission.

To find out more about the transfer mechanism used, please contact us at customerservice@auroboros.co.uk.

Data Security
We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used, or accessed in an unauthorized way, altered, or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors, and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions, and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

The transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will take reasonable measures to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your information transmitted, and any transmission is at your own risk.

Data Retention
We will only retain your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, or reporting requirements. We may retain your personal data for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect to our relationship with you.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal information, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal information, the purposes for which we process your personal information and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, or other requirements.

We may anonymize your personal data so that it can no longer be associated with you for research or statistical purposes, in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

Your Rights
Under certain circumstances, you have rights under Data Protection Laws. Not all rights are absolute and will depend on certain circumstances. You can:

  • Request access to your personal data: This is known as a "data subject access request" and enables you to receive a copy of the personal data Auroboros holds about you.
  • Request correction of your personal data: This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate information we hold about you corrected.
  • Request erasure of your personal data: This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us to continue processing it. (Note: We may not always be able to comply with your request for erasure for specific legal reasons, which will be notified to you at the time of your request.)
  • Object to processing of your personal data: This is where we are processing your personal data based on a legitimate interest or those of a third party, and you may challenge this. However, we may be entitled to continue processing your information based on our legitimate interests or where this is relevant to any legal claims. (See also Marketing Communications.)
  • Request restriction of processing your personal information: This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios: (a) if you want us to establish the information's accuracy, (b) where our use of the information is unlawful, but you do not want us to erase it, (c) where you need us to hold the information even if we no longer require it, as you need it to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims, or (d) you have objected to our use of your information, but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.
  • Request transfer of your personal information (“data portability”): This is where, in some circumstances, we will provide to you or a third party you have chosen your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.
  • Right to withdraw consent: This is where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. This will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. Depending on the processing activity, if you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.
  • Automated decision making: This is where decisions are made about you by automated means. We do not carry out automated decision making.

Carrying Out Your Data Subject Rights
You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data or to exercise any of the other rights. However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive, or excessive. We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal information or to exercise any of your other rights. This is a security measure to ensure that personal information is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.

We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally, it may take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex, or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated. If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please contact us at customerservice@auroboros.co.uk.

Changes
We may update this privacy policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We will take appropriate measures to inform you when we update our privacy notice. We will obtain your consent to any material privacy notice changes if and where this is required by applicable Data Protection Laws.

Minors
The site is not intended for individuals under the age of 13 in the UK or under the age of 16 in the EU.

Concerns and Complaints
We would appreciate the chance to deal with your concerns in the first instance. Please see Contact Us section. If you have unresolved concerns and you live or work in the UK or believe that a personal data breach happened in the UK, you have the right to complain at any time to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK supervisory authority for data protection issues (www.ico.org.uk).

If you live or work outside the UK or you have a complaint concerning our personal data processing activities, you may lodge a complaint with another supervisory authority.

Contact Us
For more information about our privacy practices, if you have questions, or if you would like to make a complaint, please contact us by email at customerservice@auroboros.co.uk.

Pre-Order Terms and Conditions
These terms and conditions apply to all pre-orders for products (i.e., each pre-ordered product will be manufactured following your purchase of it) (“Pre-Orders”). These terms and conditions apply in addition to the Auroboros Standard Terms and Conditions, which can be found here. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between these terms and conditions and the Auroboros Standard Terms and Conditions, these terms and conditions will apply.

Any terms defined in the Auroboros Standard Terms and Conditions shall have the same meaning in these terms and conditions.

Except where Pre-Orders are offered in limited volumes (please see section 2 below), when you place a Pre-Order:

  1. We will take payment from you at that point using a debit card, credit card, or other payment methods displayed on the Site from time to time.
  2. We will contact you to confirm receipt of your Pre-Order and payment and to provide you with an order number.
  3. We will contact you again to confirm that your Pre-Order is being manufactured and may give you an indication of the anticipated timescale to manufacture and deliver that product. A legally binding contract between us will be formed at this point.
  4. We will contact you again when the manufacture of your Pre-Order has been completed to provide you with a Delivery Confirmation.

Where a Pre-Order is available only in a limited volume:

  1. In the first instance, we will ask you to sign up for a waiting list for that product.
  2. When the product is available for Pre-Order, customers will be selected on a first-come, first-served basis, and we will contact you by email to confirm that the Pre-Order is available for purchase.
  3. You will then be able to purchase the Pre-Order in accordance with the process outlined in sections 1.1 – 1.4 above.
  4. We will notify you if it is not possible to proceed with, or we decide not to proceed with, the manufacture of a Pre-Order (e.g., we have not reached the minimum number of purchases required for the production run) and will refund any sums you have paid for that Pre-Order within 30 days of notifying you.

Standard Terms and Conditions
The terms and conditions set out in this document (these Terms) apply to any and all purchases of products that you make through the Site at https://www.auroboros.co.uk (the Site). Please note that any
products purchased through an auction will be subject to our terms and
conditions for auction which can be found below.

Please read these Terms carefully before ordering any products from the Site. By ordering any products from the Site and clicking “Accept,” you accept and agree to comply with:

  • These Terms and any documents referred to within these Terms;
  • Our Privacy Policy (which can be found here);
  • Our Cookies Notice (which can be found here); and
  • The terms of use for the Site (which can be found here).

If you refuse to accept these Terms, you will not be able to purchase products from the Site.

We may amend these Terms from time to time by updating them on the Site. Each time you wish to order products from the Site, please check these Terms to ensure you understand the terms that apply at that time.

Please note: We do not give business customers all the same rights as customers who are Consumers. A Consumer is an individual acting for purposes wholly or mainly outside of that individual’s trade, business, craft, or profession. A business customer is any customer that is not a Consumer. For example, business customers cannot cancel their orders, they have different rights where there is a problem with a product, and we do not compensate them in the same way for losses caused by us or our products. Where a term applies just to businesses or just to consumers, this is clearly stated in these Terms. You are a business customer if you are buying products wholly or mainly for use in connection with your trade, business, craft, or profession, even if you are an individual.

Who We Are and How to Contact Us
We are Auroboros Limited, a company registered in England and Wales with company number 11665405. Our registered office is at Suite Lu.231, The Light Bulb, 1 Filament Walk, Wandsworth, London, England, SW18 4GQ. Any reference in these Terms to "we," "us," or "our" is a reference to this company.

You can contact our Customer Services Team at customerservice@auroboros.co.uk.

Any reference to "you" or "your" in these Terms is a reference to a customer seeking to purchase products from the Site. If we need to contact you, we will do so by telephone, by WhatsApp, via social media platforms, or by email, depending on the methods of communication identified when you placed an order with us or used by you when you contacted us.

Product Information
The Site sets out all of the key information that you need to know about the products available for you to purchase.

  • Please note that a product's true color may not exactly match the color shown on your device, or its packaging may be slightly different.
  • All products shown on the Site are subject to availability. We will contact you as soon as possible if the product you have ordered is not available, and we will not process your order if made unless it has been made clear on the Site that such products are available for pre-order.

Your Account
You will need to register and create an account with us in order to purchase products from the Site. To do so, you will be required to provide all information about yourself as part of the sign-up process.

  • You are only permitted to open one account on the Site. Multiple live accounts and/or duplicates are not permitted. By registering with us, you are representing and warranting that: (i) you have not previously been banned from the Site; and (ii) you do not already have an account registered with us.
  • Your account is for your use only, and you agree that you will not share your account or your account details with any other person. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account and your password. You should take all reasonable steps to ensure the password is kept secure and confidential, and you must tell us immediately if you believe someone else knows your password or if it is being or may be used in an unauthorized manner.
  • You agree that all registration information you provide to the Site will be current, true, accurate, and complete, and that you will maintain the accuracy of this information at all times. You must promptly update any changes to your account details. If you make false representations or provide inaccurate information, you may have your account removed from the Site.

Ordering Products
Where you are ordering products on a pre-order basis (i.e., the product will be manufactured following your purchase of it), that order will be subject to the additional terms set out in our Pre-Order Terms and Conditions here. If there is any conflict or inconsistency between these Terms and the Pre-Order Terms and Conditions, the Pre-Order Terms and Conditions will apply.

  • We will take payment from you at the point you place an order for products with us (or at the point specified in the Pre-Order Terms and Conditions for products ordered on a pre-order basis). You can only pay for products using a debit card, credit card, or other payment methods that we display from time to time on the Site. We will notify you as soon as possible to acknowledge receipt of your order and payment and to provide you with an order number.
  • We will contact you subsequently to confirm acceptance of your order and may also confirm at that point that the products have been dispatched (Delivery Confirmation). Alternatively, the Delivery Confirmation may be provided in a subsequent communication.
  • We may sometimes reject orders, for example, because a product is unexpectedly out of stock or because the product was mispriced by us. If this happens, we will let you know as soon as possible and will refund any sums you have paid within 30 days.
  • A legally binding contract between us will be formed when we send you the Delivery Confirmation (or, in the unlikely event that a Delivery Confirmation is not sent due to a processing error, when we dispatch the products to you).
  • If we are unable to fulfil your order following this acknowledgment, we will contact you to advise you of this.
  • If you are a business customer, all amounts due (from you to us or from us to you) under the contract between us for your purchase of our products from the Site shall be paid in full without any set-off, counterclaim, deduction, or withholding (other than any deduction or withholding of tax as required by law).

Personalised or Customised Products
If you are purchasing made-to-measure, personalised, or customised products, you are responsible for making sure that all information or measurements you provide to us to personalise or customise the product are correct. We will have no responsibility or liability for any inaccurate information or measurements that you provide to us. If you have questions or need help, please contact our Customer Services Team.

Product Prices and Delivery Charges
We take all reasonable care to ensure that the prices of products on the Site are correct. The product price may change from time to time, and you will pay the price advertised at the time you place the order. If we discover an error in the price of products you have ordered:

  • Where the correct price is less than the price stated on the Site, we will charge the lower amount when dispatching the products to you.
  • Where the correct price is higher than the price stated on the Site, we will contact you by email to inform you of this error, and we will give you the option of continuing with your purchase at the correct price or cancelling your order. We won’t process your order until we have your instructions. If we are unable to contact you using the contact details you provided to us when placing your order, we will treat the order as cancelled and notify you of this cancellation by email.

The product price includes standard delivery costs to the EU and UK, as well as all applicable sales taxes and import duties. If you elect for a delivery option to other international markets or other than standard delivery to the EU or UK, you will be required to pay the additional delivery costs, which will be notified to you at the point of purchase. Depending on the payment method you choose, there may be additional processing fees that are not reflected in the prices, for which you will be responsible.

Delivery
You can find details of our delivery options and timescales in our Delivery Policy.

  • If our supply of your product is delayed by an event outside our control, such as the product being withdrawn from sale or if the sale will be delayed, delays due to postal or courier services, or delays in clearing customs, we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know (please see further section 13.1 below).
  • As long as we do this, we won’t compensate you for the delay, but if the period of delay is likely to be substantial (as specified in our Delivery Policy depending on the nature of your purchase), you can contact our Customer Services Team to end the contract and receive a refund for any products you have paid for, but not received.

Consumer Rights
If you are a Consumer, for most of our products that you purchase online, you have a legal right to cancel your purchase and to receive a refund of what you paid for it. This is subject to the conditions set out below.

  • If you are a Consumer, then except where section 8.3 below applies, you have fourteen (14) days from:
    • The date we confirm we have accepted your order, if the order is for digital content for download or streaming; or
    • The date we deliver any physical products to you, to let us know that you wish to cancel the purchase.

You cannot cancel an order for:

  • Digital products, after you have started to download or stream these;
  • Products that are sealed for health protection or hygiene purposes, once these have been unsealed after you receive them;
  • Products that are made to your specifications or are clearly personalised; or
  • Products that become mixed inseparably with other items after their delivery.

How to cancel your order:
Please let us know by sending an email to our Customer Services Team stating that you wish to cancel your order. If you tell us you want to cancel after the product has been dispatched to you, you must return your product with the original tags/labels attached (and any free gifts provided with it) to us (in the original packaging, where possible) within 14 days of your telling us you have changed your mind.

    Refunding Your Cancelled Order and When We Might Reduce the Refund Amount
    Subject to your compliance with the obligations outlined above and returning the products to us, we will refund you the price you paid for the products. We do not refund any additional sum you may have paid for delivery options other than standard delivery at the time of purchase, nor do we refund you any delivery costs incurred by you to return the products. We may reduce your refund if you have used or damaged a product to compensate us for its reduced value. For example, we may reduce your refund if the product's condition is not “as new,” original tags or labels have been removed, the product-branded packaging is damaged, or accessories are missing. In some cases, because of the way you have treated the product, no refund may be due. Our Customer Services Team can advise you on whether we’re likely to reduce your refund.

    Refund Timescales:
    If you tell us you have changed your mind about a product that hasn’t been delivered, we will refund you as soon as possible and within a maximum of 14 days. If you are sending your product back to us, we will refund you within 14 days of receiving it. If we have not received the product, we will ask you to provide evidence that you have returned it to us. If you are unable to provide such evidence, we reserve the right to refuse to pay a refund. We refund you by the method you used for payment. If you paid using gift vouchers, we may refund you in vouchers. We will send an email confirmation once the refund has been processed.

    Your Rights if There Is a Problem With Your Product
    If you think there is something wrong with your product, please contact our Customer Services Team.

    • Where you are a Consumer, The Consumer Rights Act 2015 says that the products you have purchased must be as described, fit for purpose, and of satisfactory quality. If they do not meet these requirements or are defective or damaged when you receive them, you have a statutory right (i) to reject those products, OR (ii) to a repair or replacement, OR (iii) to accept those products and receive a reasonable refund from us.
    • If you believe that you have received the wrong products or that they are damaged or defective, you must contact our Customer Services Team within 30 days of receiving those products.

    Returns
    For help with returns, please contact our Customer Services Team at customerservice@auroboros.co.uk.
    We recommend you obtain proof of postage as evidence that you have returned the product(s) to us. If you don’t do this and the products are not received or are not received within a reasonable time, we won't refund you the price you paid for them.

    Changes to Products and These Terms
    We can always change a product:

    • To reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements.
    • To make minor technical adjustments and improvements, which don’t affect your use of the product.
    • To update digital content, provided that the digital content always matches the description of it that we provided to you before you bought it. We might ask you to install these updates.

    We can also make changes to a product or these Terms, provided that if such changes would likely have a significant impact on your use of the product, we will let you know in advance by email and give you the option to cancel any orders and receive a refund for any products which you have paid for but not received.

    Suspending or Withdrawing the Supply of Products
    We can suspend the supply of products to:

    • Deal with technical problems or make minor technical changes.
    • Update the product to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements.
    • Make changes to the product (see section 11 above).

    If we need to suspend supply, we will let you know in advance unless the problem is urgent or an emergency. If we need to suspend supply for more than four (4) weeks, you can contact our Customer Services Team to end the contract, and we'll refund any sums you've paid in advance for products you won't receive.

    We Are Not Responsible for Events Outside of Our Control
    If the supply of your product is delayed by an event outside our reasonable control, we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and do what we can to reduce the delay. As long as we do this, we won't compensate you for the delay, but if the delay is likely to be substantial, you can contact our Customer Services Team to end the contract and receive a refund for any products you have paid for but not received, less reasonable costs we have already incurred.

    When You Can End Your Contract With Us
    We can end our contract with you for a product and claim any compensation due to us (including enforcement costs) if:

    • You don't make any payment to us when it's due, and you still don't make payment within 7 days of our reminding you that payment is due.
    • You don't, within a reasonable time of us asking for it, provide us with information, cooperation, or access that we need to provide the product, for example, you fail to provide full delivery details.
    • You don't, within a reasonable time, allow us to deliver the product to you.

    Our Liability to You if Something Goes Wrong
    We do not exclude or limit in any way our liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so.

    • If you are a Consumer, we will be responsible for losses you suffer caused by us breaking this contract unless the loss is:
      • Unexpected and it was not obvious that it would happen and nothing you said to us before we accepted your order meant we should have expected it (so, in the law, the loss was unforeseeable);
      • Caused by a delaying event outside our control;
      • Something you could have avoided by taking reasonable action, including following our reasonable instructions for use; or
      • Related to your use of a product for the purposes of your trade, business, craft, or profession. Our liability for such business losses is limited, as described in section 16.3 below.

    If You Are a Business
    Then, subject to section below:

    • We shall not be liable to you, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty, or otherwise, for any loss of profit or any indirect or consequential loss arising under or in connection with any contract between us.
    • Our total liability to you for all other losses arising under or in connection with any contract between us, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty, or otherwise, shall be limited to the total sums paid by you for products under such contract.

    Nothing in these terms shall limit or exclude our liability for:

    • Death or personal injury caused by our negligence, or the negligence of our employees, agents, or subcontractors (as applicable);
    • Fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation;
    • Breach of the terms implied by section 12 of the Sale of Goods Act 1979 or section 2 of the Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982; or
    • Defective products under the Consumer Protection Act 1987.

    Except to the extent expressly stated in these Terms, if you are a business, we exclude all terms implied by sections 13 to 15 of the Sale of Goods Act 1979 and sections 3 to 5 of the Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982.

    Other Important Terms That Apply

    • We can transfer our contract with you so that a different organisation is responsible for supplying services. We will tell you in writing if this happens, and we will ensure that the transfer will not affect your rights under the contract.
    • You can only transfer your contract with us to someone else if we agree to this.
    • If you are a business, these Terms and the documents referred to in these Terms constitute the entire agreement between us in relation to your purchase of our products, and they supersede all other previous agreements, promises, assurances, warranties, representations, and understandings between us, whether written or oral, relating to its subject matter. You and we each agree that in entering into a contract, neither of us relies on, and shall have no remedies in respect of, any statement, representation, assurance, or warranty (whether made innocently or negligently) that is not set out in this agreement. Nothing in these Terms will limit or exclude any liability for fraud.
    • Nobody else has any rights under this contract. This contract is between you and us. Nobody else can enforce it, and neither of us will need to ask anybody else to sign-off on ending or changing it.
    • If a court invalidates some of this contract, the rest of it will still apply. If a court or other authority decides that some of these Terms are unlawful, the rest will continue to apply.
    • Even if we delay in enforcing this contract, we can still enforce it later. We might not immediately chase you for not doing something (like paying) or for doing something you're not allowed to, but that doesn’t mean we can't do it later.

    Governing Law and Jurisdiction
    These Terms are governed by English law. If you are a consumer, then wherever you live, you can bring claims against us in the English courts, and if you live in Wales, Scotland, or Northern Ireland, you can also bring claims against us in the courts of the country you live in. If you are a consumer, we can claim against you in the courts of the country you live in. If you are a business, you irrevocably agree to submit all disputes arising out of or in connection with our contract with you to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts.

In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between these terms and conditions and the Auroboros Standard Terms and Conditions, these terms and conditions will apply. Any terms defined in the Auroboros Standard Terms and Conditions shall have the same meaning in these terms and conditions.

        Definitions
        The following additional definitions apply in these terms and conditions:

        • Auction Lot: Any product of Auroboros that is listed on the Site for auction.
        • Contract: A binding contract between Auroboros and you in respect of the purchase of an Auction Lot by you arising out of a Successful Bid.

        • Successful Bid: A valid bid for an Auction Lot made by you and accepted by Auroboros (subject to achieving any Reserve Price required by Auroboros for that Auction Lot, unless the Reserve Price is waived by Auroboros).

        Bidding

        • Where you wish to bid for an Auction Lot, it is your responsibility to:
          • Review the listing information, description, and any photographs provided in relation to that Auction Lot.
          • Check the accuracy of your bid as all bids are made at your own risk.
        • Each bid by you for an Auction Lot:
          • Shall be submitted electronically through the Site, and no alternative form of a bid will be accepted or considered valid for any reason whatsoever.
          • Is an irrevocable offer to purchase that Auction Lot, which becomes a legally binding obligation to purchase that Auction Lot where the bid is a Successful Bid. You cannot withdraw a bid or a Successful Bid.
        • Auroboros shall use all reasonable endeavours to notify you of any higher bids that are placed by other potential buyers.
        • Auroboros is entitled, at its sole and absolute discretion, to remove a bid where:

          • There is a typographical mistake in the bid.
        • Auroboros reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to withdraw any Auction Lot from auction at any time before Auroboros has accepted a bid.
        • The Successful Bid for an Auction Lot will be the highest bid for the Auction Lot at the close of that Auction Lot. If you make a Successful Bid for an Auction Lot, Auroboros shall promptly notify you (by email or otherwise in writing) of that Successful Bid, at which point you shall be legally bound to purchase the Auction Lot for the amount of the Successful Bid, and you shall be liable to promptly pay Auroboros the amount of that Successful Bid in full.

        Cancellation Rights of Consumers

        • Where you are a Consumer and purchase an Auction Lot through the Site, you have the right to cancel your online purchase of the products (the "Right to Change Your Mind") for any reason during the period of 14 calendar days:
          • After you acquire physical possession of an Auction Lot that is a tangible product.
          • After purchasing a digital Auction Lot, provided that you have not started to download or stream that product. The Right to Change Your Mind does not apply to a digital product you have started to download or stream (the "Cancellation Period").
        • To exercise the Right to Change Your Mind in relation to an Auction Lot, you must:
          • Notify Auroboros of your intention to cancel by a clear statement before the end of the Cancellation Period.
          • In respect of an Auction Lot that is a tangible product, return the Auction Lot to Auroboros in the same condition as when you received it, no later than 14 calendar days after providing notice of intent to cancel.
        • Where the Auction Lot is a tangible product, you must return it or deliver it to Auroboros at such address as Auroboros may specify for the purpose, no later than 14 calendar days from the day after which you notify Auroboros of your intention to cancel your purchase. This deadline is met if you send back the Auction Lot before the period of 14 calendar days has expired. You must bear the direct costs of returning the Auction Lot.
        • Auroboros will refund the purchase price to you using the same method of payment you used for the initial transaction unless expressly agreed otherwise.
        • If the returned Auction Lot is damaged in any way, Auroboros may reduce the refund payable to you to compensate Auroboros for its reduced value. For example, the refund may be reduced if the Auction Lot’s condition is not the same as when dispatched to you. In some cases, because of the way you have treated the Auction Lot, no refund may be due.

        Limitation of Liability

        • Auroboros shall not be liable for any errors or omissions in any description of an Auction Lot. However, if Auroboros discovers a material error or omission in such a description before a sale is completed, it will endeavour to provide a correction if time permits.
        • Auroboros does not exclude or limit in any way its liability to you under these terms and conditions where it would be unlawful to do so. This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by the negligence of Auroboros or its employees, agents, or subcontractors, or for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.
        • Where you are a Consumer, Auroboros shall be liable to you for the losses you suffer as a result of Auroboros breaching these terms and conditions unless the loss is:
          • Unexpected: It was not obvious that it would happen, and nothing you said to Auroboros before it engaged with you on these terms and conditions meant that Auroboros should have expected it (so, in the law, the loss was unforeseeable).
          • Caused by a delaying event outside Auroboros' control: As long as Auroboros has taken the steps it was required to, Auroboros is not responsible for delays outside its control.
          • Avoidable: Something you could have avoided by taking reasonable action.
          • A business loss.
