Grounds for rejection will be based on several non-discriminatory criteria. This includes but isn’t limited to:
- Excessive frequency of returns in relation to order frequency
- Consistent alleged missing or faulty parts/goods
- Using false or fraudulent identity
When we identify a customer that has systematically and consistently exhibit this behaviour, we will evaluate on a case-by-case basis whether the customer’s order should be cancelled and we reserve the right to refuse to enter into contract with the customer in question and/or pause the customers ability to buy from Aosom either temporary or indefinitely.
The order is accepted and a binding legal contract is formed when we send a dispatch email and this clause does not prevent customers from returning goods purchased.
