SILVERSTONE EXPERIENCE
TERMS & CONDITIONS
This page together with our Privacy Policy (the “Privacy Policy”) and Terms of Website Use (the “Terms of Website Use Policy”) tells you information about us and the legal terms and conditions (the “Terms”) on which we sell any of the Silverstone Experience project (the “Project”) supporter packages listed on our website (“our site”) to you.
Our site provides you with the opportunity to order a donor package available at www.silverstoneheritageexperience.co.uk (the “Donor Package”) and a gift package available at www.silverstoneexperience.co.uk (the “Gift Package”). Except where these Terms make specific references to either the Donor Package or the Gift Package these Terms will apply to both generically as the “Products”.
These Terms will apply to any contract between us for the sale of Products to you (the “Contract”). Please read these Terms carefully and make sure that you understand them, before ordering any Products from our site. Please note that before placing an order you will be asked to agree to these Terms. If you refuse to accept these Terms, you will not be able to order any Products from our site.
The Project is planned to open in or around Spring 2019 (the “Project Opening Date”). However, this is subject to change and variation by us. We will use reasonable efforts to update you on the progress of the Project via email to the email address you have provided to us when you order a Product through our site. In any event, we will use reasonable efforts to provide you with at least six months’ notice of the Project Opening Date.
You should print a copy of these Terms or save them to your computer for future reference.
We amend these Terms from time to time as set out in clause 6. Every time you wish to order Products, please check these Terms to ensure you understand the terms which will apply at that time. These Terms were most recently updated on 27th June 2017.
Purchasers of the £375 Gift Package only will also be subject to the terms and conditions relating to the Silverstone Single Seater Experience available here.
These Terms, and any Contract between us, are only in the English language.

We only use your personal information in accordance with our Privacy Policy. Please take the time to read our Privacy Policy, as it includes important terms which apply to you.
5. How the contract is formed between you and us
5.1 Our shopping pages will guide you through the steps you need to take to place an order with us. Our order process allows you to check and amend any errors before submitting your order to us. Please take the time to read and check your order at each page of the order process.
5.2 After you place an order, you will receive an e-mail from us acknowledging that we have received your order. However, please note that this does not mean that your order has been accepted. Our acceptance of your order will take place as described in clause 5.3.
5.3 We will confirm our acceptance to you by sending you an e-mail (the “Dispatch Confirmation”). The Contract between us will only be formed when we send you the Dispatch Confirmation. Such Dispatch Confirmation for the Gold and Platinum Donor Packages will be in the form of a letter and/ or email enclosing a pledge form (the “Pledge”). You must return the Pledge to us duly completed, which confirms you understand that payment for your Products becomes due once we confirm we have received Project Confirmation from the Heritage Lottery Fund (see clause 11.1 below).
5.4 If we are unable to supply you with a Product, for example because that Product is not in stock or no longer available or because we cannot meet your requested delivery date or because of an error in the price on our site as referred to in clause 10.5 or your order is cancelled in accordance with clause 11.4, we will inform you of this by e-mail and we will not process your order. If you have already paid for the Products, we will refund you the full amount charged as soon as possible.

6.3 We may revise these Terms as they apply to your order from time to time to reflect the changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements.
6.4 If we have to revise these Terms as they apply to your order, we will contact you to give you reasonable advance notice of the changes and let you know how to cancel the Contract if you are not happy with the changes. You may cancel either in respect of all the affected Products or just the Products you have yet to receive. If you opt to cancel, you will have to return (at our cost) any relevant Products you have already received and we will arrange a full refund of the price you have paid, including any delivery charges.
7. Your consumer right of return and refund
7.1 If you are a consumer, you have a legal right to cancel a Contract under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 during the period set out below in clause 7.2. This means that during the relevant period if you change your mind or decide for any other reason that you do not want to receive or keep a Product, you can notify us of your decision to cancel the Contract and receive a refund of the amount you have paid. Advice about your legal right to cancel the Contract is available from your local Citizens’ Advice Bureau or Trading Standards office.
7.2 Your legal right to cancel a Contract starts from the date of the Dispatch Confirmation (the date on which we e-mail you to confirm our acceptance of your order and for Gold and Platinum Donor Packages the issue of the Pledge), which is when the Contract between us is formed. Your deadline for cancelling the Contract then depends on what you have ordered and how it is delivered, as set out in the table below:
| YOUR CONTRACT | END OF THE CANCELLATION PERIOD |
| Your Contract is for the Products | The end date is the end of 14 days after the day on which you are listed on our site as a project supporter (the “Listing”).
Example: if we provide you with a Dispatch Confirmation on 1 January and the Listing is published on 10 January you may cancel at any time between 1 January and the end of the day on 24 January. |
7.3 To cancel a Contract, you just need to let us know that you have decided to cancel. The easiest way to do this is to e-mail us at [email protected] or by post to Silverstone Heritage Membership Team, Jimmy Brown Centre, Silverstone Circuit, Towcester, Northamptonshire NN12 8TN. Please include details of your order to help us to identify it. If you send us your cancellation notice by e-mail or by post, then your cancellation is effective from the date you send us the e-mail or post the letter to us. For example, you will have given us notice in time as long as you get your letter into the last post on the last day of the cancellation period or e-mail us before midnight on that day.
7.4 If you cancel your Contract we will:
7.4.1 refund you the price you paid for the Products. However, please note we are permitted by law to reduce your refund to reflect any reduction in the value of the goods, if this has been caused by your handling them in a way which would not be permitted in a shop. If we refund you the price paid before we are able to inspect the goods and later discover you have handled them in an unacceptable way, you must pay us an appropriate amount.
7.4.2 make any refunds due to you as soon as possible and in any event within the deadlines indicated below:
7.4.2.1 if you have received the Product and we have not offered to collect it from you: 14 days after the day on which we receive the Product back from you or, if earlier, the day on which you provide us with evidence that you have sent the Product back to us. For information about how to return a Product to us, see clause 7.7;
7.4.2.2 if you have not received the Product or you have received it and we have offered to collect it from you: 14 days after you inform us of your decision to cancel the Contract.
7.5 If you have returned the Products to us under this clause 7 because they are faulty or mis-described, we will refund the price of the Products in full, together with any applicable delivery charges, and any reasonable costs you incur in returning the item to us.
7.6 We will refund you on the credit card or debit card used by you to pay.
7.7 If a Product has been delivered to you before you decide to cancel your Contract:
7.7.1 then you must return it to us without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days after the day on which you let us know that you wish to cancel the Contract. You can send it back to us marked for the attention of Silverstone Heritage Experience Membership Team, Jimmy Brown Centre, Silverstone Circuit, Towcester, Northamptonshire NN12 8TN;
7.7.2 unless the Product is faulty or not as described (in this case, see clause 7.5), you will be responsible for the cost of returning the Products to us;
7.8 Because you are a consumer, we are under a legal duty to supply Products that are in conformity with this Contract. As a consumer, you have legal rights in relation to Products that are faulty or not as described. These legal rights are not affected by your right of return and refund in this clause 7 or anything else in these Terms. Advice about your legal rights is available from your local Citizens’ Advice Bureau or Trading Standards office.
8. Delivery
8.1 We will contact you with an estimated delivery date, which for the Products will be once the Listing is published on our site, and the Products will be your responsibility from that time.
8.2 You own the Products once we have received payment in full.
8.3 If we miss the delivery deadline for any Products then you may cancel your order straight away if any of the following apply:
8.3.1 we have refused to deliver the Products;
8.3.2 delivery within the delivery deadline was essential (taking into account all the relevant circumstances); or
8.3.3 you told us before we accepted your order that delivery within the delivery deadline was essential.
8.4 If you do not wish to cancel your order straight away, or do not have the right to do so under clause 8.3, you can give us a new deadline for delivery, which must be reasonable, and you can cancel your order if we do not meet the new deadline.
8.5 If you do choose to cancel your order for late delivery under clause 8.4 or clause 8.5, you can do so for just some of the Products or all of them, unless splitting them up would significantly reduce their value. If the Products have been delivered to you, you will have to return them to us or allow us to collect them, and we will pay the costs of this. After you cancel your order we will refund any sums you have paid to us for the cancelled Products and their delivery.
9. No international delivery
9.1 Unfortunately, we do not deliver to addresses outside the UK.
9.2 You may place an order for Products from outside the UK, but this order must be for delivery to an address in the UK.
10. Price of products and delivery charges
10.1 The prices of the Products will be as quoted on our site at the time you submit your order. We take all reasonable care to ensure that the prices of Products are correct at the time when the relevant information was entered onto the system. However please see clause 10.5 for what happens if we discover an error in the price of Product(s) you ordered.
10.2 Prices for our Products may change from time to time, but changes will not affect any order you have already placed.
10.3 The price of a Product includes VAT (where applicable) at the applicable current rate chargeable in the UK for the time being. However, if the rate of VAT changes between the date of your order and the date of delivery, we will adjust the VAT you pay, unless you have already paid for the Products in full before the change in VAT takes effect.
10.4 The price of a Product includes all delivery charges.
10.5 Our site contains a large number of Products. It is always possible that, despite our reasonable efforts, some of the Products on our site may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices as part of our dispatch procedures so that:
10.5.1 where the Product’s correct price is less than the price stated on our site, we will charge the lower amount when dispatching the Products to you; and
10.5.2 if the Product’s correct price is higher than the price stated on our site, we will contact you as soon as possible to inform you of this error and we will give you the option of continuing to purchase the Product at the correct price or cancelling your order. We will not process your order until we have your instructions. If we are unable to contact you using the contact details you provided during the order process, we will treat the order as cancelled and notify you in writing. However, if we mistakenly accept and process your order where a pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could reasonably have been recognised by you as a mispricing, we may cancel supply of the Product and refund you any sums you have paid
11. How to pay
11.1 Payment for the Platinum and Gold Donor Packages only is dependent upon us receiving confirmation, expected in or around November 2016, from the Heritage Lottery Fund that stage 2 of the Project can proceed (the “Project Confirmation”).

11.4 If the Project Confirmation is not received by us and as a consequence the Project is discontinued then your order will be cancelled and our obligations to you under the Contract and these Terms will cease with immediate effect and for the purposes of a refund, for any monies paid by you for the Products, under clause 7.4 the Contract will be treated as cancelled by you. Neither we, nor you, will have any other liability or obligation to the other, save as prescribed in this clause 11.4, if the order is cancelled because of the Project discontinuance.
