Last updated September 2025

SUMMARY

Please read these Terms and Conditions (“Terms”, “Terms and Conditions”) carefully before using the www.gortonstudio.co.uk website (the “Service”) operated by Neill Gorton Prosthetics Studio Ltd (“Gorton Studio”, “us”, “we”, or “our”). Your access to and use of the Service is conditioned on your acceptance of and compliance with these Terms. These Terms apply to all visitors, users and others who access or use the Service. By accessing or using the Service you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you disagree with any part of the terms, then you may not access the Service.

PURCHASES

You are encouraged to familiarise yourself with your rights contained within the Sale of Goods Act 1979, Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977 and the Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts Regulations 1999. If you wish to purchase any product or service made available through the Service (“Purchase”), you may be asked to supply certain information relevant to your Purchase including, without limitation, your credit/debit card number, the expiration date of your credit/debit card, your billing address, and your shipping information. You represent and warrant that: (i) you have the legal right to use any credit/debit card(s) or other payment method(s) in connection with any Purchase; and that (ii) the information you supply to us is true, correct and complete. You expressly agree that Gorton Studio is not responsible for any loss or damage arising from the submission of false or inaccurate information. By submitting such information, you grant us the right to provide the information to third parties for purposes of facilitating the completion of Purchases.

We reserve the right to refuse or cancel your order at any time for certain reasons including but not limited to: product or service availability, errors in the description or price of the product or service, error in your order, or other reasons. You expressly agree that Gorton Studio cannot accept any liability for loss or damage arising out of such cancellation. We reserve the right to refuse or cancel your order if fraud or an unauthorised or illegal transaction is suspected.

AVAILABILITY, ERRORS AND INACCURACIES

We are constantly updating our offerings of products and services on the Service. The products or services available on our Service may be mispriced, described inaccurately, or unavailable, and we may experience delays in updating information on the Service and in our advertising on other websites. You expressly agree that any such offer of a product or service does not constitute a legal offer capable of attracting legal consequences. We cannot and do not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of any information, including prices, product images, specifications, availability, and services.

We reserve the right to change or update information and to correct errors, inaccuracies, or omissions at any time without prior notice. Section “Availability, Errors and Inaccuracies” is without prejudice to existing statutory rights.

SUBSCRIPTIONS

Some parts of the Service are billed on a subscription basis (“Subscription(s)”). You will be billed in advance on a recurring and periodic basis (“Billing Cycle”). Standard billing cycles are set on a monthly basis but may have different cycle durations if set up on a bespoke basis or for education sector customers. At the end of each Billing Cycle, your Subscription will automatically renew under the exact same conditions unless you cancel it, or Gorton Studio cancels it. You may cancel your Subscription renewal either through your online account management page or by contacting Gorton Studio customer support.

A valid payment method, including credit/debit, is required to process the payment for your Subscription. You shall provide Gorton Studio with accurate and complete billing information including full name, address, county/state, postal/zip code, telephone number, and valid payment method information. By submitting such payment information, you automatically authorize Gorton Studio to charge all Subscription fees incurred through your account to any such payment instruments. Should automatic billing fail to occur for any reason, Gorton Studio will issue an electronic invoice indicating that you must proceed manually, within a certain deadline date, with the full payment corresponding to the billing period as indicated on the invoice.

FEE CHANGES

Gorton Studio, in its sole discretion and at any time, may modify the Subscription fees for the Subscription products it offers. Any Subscription fee change will become effective at the end of the then-current Billing Cycle. Gorton Studio will provide you with a reasonable prior notice of any change in Subscription fees to give you an opportunity to terminate your Subscription before such change becomes effective. Your continued use of the Service after the Subscription fee change comes into effect constitutes your agreement to pay the modified Subscription fee amount.

ACCOUNTS

When you create an account with us, you must provide us information that is accurate, complete, and current at all times. Failure to do so constitutes a breach of the Terms, which may result in immediate termination of your account on our Service. You are responsible for safeguarding the password that you use to access the Service and for any activities or actions under your password, whether your password is with our Service or a third-party service. You agree not to disclose your password to any third party. You must notify us immediately upon becoming aware of any breach of security or unauthorized use of your account. You may not use as a username the name of another person or entity or that is not lawfully available for use, a name or trademark that is subject to any rights of another person or entity other than you without appropriate authorisation, or a name that is otherwise offensive, vulgar or obscene. You expressly agree that we cannot be held liable for any loss or damage arising out of any misrepresentations you make in this regard.
