The information contained on the Website does not constitute an offer by SDSA.
The Website does not contain all Products in the “CHAMPION” catalogue. The Products represent a selection of the articles normally available at the stores that sell the “CHAMPION” products. Not all Products described on the Website are or will be available at all stores selling “CHAMPION” products.
All Products are subject to availability. SDSA reserves the right at any time to vary without notice the limits to the quantities and/or types of Products that can be purchased online on the Website as well as the style, models and colours of the Products described on the Website.
The images of the Products on the Website may differ from reality by virtue of the internet browser and/or monitor used. For any information on the Products, the Customer can contact the Customer Service of SDSA on phone numbers UK: 08005088039 (toll-free), Other countries : +44 1256302298 (charges based on your telecom provider may apply) or send an e-mail to championstore_EN@pfsweb.com.
The Products available on the website may be purchased exclusively by Customers who request delivery in the Territory.
All sales prices of the Products indicated on the Website are shown in Pounds/Euros. The prices of the Products include VAT and any other tax (where applicable) and they DO NOT include shipping or handling costs and costs for additional services that may be highlighted in the product specifications.
Separate charges for shipping, handling and their related VAT or other taxes will be shown in the order confirmation email and can be viewed on a summary screen prior to finalizing your order. Shipping charges are based on the delivery method you select during the checkout process.
The prices applied are those indicated on the Website at the time of the purchase order by the Customer.
SDSA reserves the right to vary without notice the prices of the Products, the shipping costs and the costs for additional services. Before sending the purchase order, the Customer is invited to check the final price indicated in the Product specifications.
Any new prices, shipping costs and costs for additional services will be applied only to purchase orders received on a date after their publication on the Website.
SDSA checks that the prices indicated on the Website are correct; however, it does not guarantee the absence of errors. Where an error is identified in relation to the price of a Product, SDSA will contact the Customer at the e-mail address provided by the same to give him/her the chance to re-confirm the Product order or to cancel it.
To be able to buy Products you have to:
The Customer may make purchases by following the instructions indicated on the Website as a registered user.
Before placing an order, the Customer must carefully read and accept the Terms of Sale, the information on the Right of Withdrawal and the Privacy Policy. The Customer is asked to print a copy of those documents and to save them or reproduce a copy of them for his/her personal use.
To purchase the Products, the Customer must enter the Products in a specific “basket”, after having read and accepted the Terms of Sale, with particular reference to the delivery costs, any costs for additional services and the information on the Right of Withdrawal, including the information on exclusion of the Right of Withdrawal in the case of made-to-measure Products or in the case of promotions, and he/she must select the desired payment method.
Before proceeding to send the Purchase Order, the Customer is asked to identify and correct any errors in data transmission.
All Purchase Orders sent to SDSA must be completed in all their parts and must contain all information required for the exact identification of the Customer, the ordered Products and the location of their delivery. The Customer is strictly prohibited from entering false and/or invented and/or made up information in the purchasing process. The personal details and e-mail address must be exclusively the personal data of the Customer and not third party or made up details.
The Purchase Order sent to SDSA is valid as a contractual offer by the Customer, manifested online and containing information on the essential characteristics of each ordered Product, the respective price, payment methods, delivery methods, shipping costs and any additional costs.
By sending the purchase order, the Customer unconditionally accepts the Terms of Sale and confirms to know and accept the further information contained on the Website cited even by way of links, including the Terms of Use, the Privacy Policy and the Right of Withdrawal.
Upon receipt of the Purchase Order, SDSA will automatically send to the e-mail address indicated by the Customer in the Purchase Order an e-mail confirming receipt of that order - which DOES NOT constitute acceptance of the Purchase Order - merely confirming to the Customer that the order has been received and sent for the data verification process and the availability check of the requested Products.
SDSA does a best effort regarding the availability of any Product you order trough the Website. This effort is on a “first in-first out” and “as long as the available stock permits” principle.
The online sales contract is understood to be finalised and binding for both parties when the Customer receives e-mail confirmation from SDSA that his/her order proposal has been successful, accepted and therefore shipped (“Shipment Confirmation e-mail).l
The Customer must check without delay the content of the communication and report immediately to SDSA any errors or omissions by sending an e-mail to the Customer Service of SDSA at the address championstore_EN@pfsweb.com.
In derogation of the foregoing, the Purchase Order sent by the Customer shall be understood to be invalid and ineffective, and not accepted by SDSA, where SDSA has reasonable and well-grounded reason to believe that the Customer:
In those cases, the online sales contract will be understood not to be finalised and SDSA will send to the Customer, by e-mail, a communication certifying the non-acceptance of the Purchase Order and the lack of finalisation of the contract, cancelling any debit and/or cost charged to the Customer.
Once the online purchase process has been concluded, the Customer shall print and retain the purchase order, the order confirmation and the Terms of Sale, which, moreover, he/she will already have viewed and accepted, as a mandatory stage of the purchase, as well as the specifications of the product being purchased.
Every Purchase Order sent will be archived in SDSA's database. The Customer may access at any time his/her Purchase Order in order to monitor its status, by connecting to the Website and accessing the section “order status” and entering in the fields provided therein the e-mail address used in the order phase and the code received in the e-mail confirmation or the Customer may obtain information on his/her Purchase Order by sending an e-mail to the Customer Service at the address championstore_EN@pfsweb.com indicating the code relating to the order, or by calling phone numbers UK: 08005088039 (toll-free), Other countries : +44 1256302298 (charges based on your telecom provider may apply).
The Purchase Order, SDSA's order confirmation and the Terms of Sale are archived electronically by SDSA in its IT systems and the Customer may request a copy of the same by sending an e-mail to Customer Service at the address championstore_EN@pfsweb.com.
All Purchase Orders are made pursuant to a shipment. After SDSA Shipment Confirmation e-mail and relevant payment has been made, title of the goods of the Purchase Order shall transfer from SDSA to you.
Payments of the Purchase Order shall be authorized and made upon the delivery by SDSA of the Shipment Confirmation e-mail as above defined.
All payments by the Customer may only be made by credit card.
Payments made by credit card are done via protected connection and linked to the Banking system Cybersource, that handles and manages the "online" payment service of which SDSA is a partner. SDSA does not come into possession of the credit card details of its Customers and it may not be deemed liable for any fraudulent uses of the card. Those details are received directly and exclusively by the banks that authorise the payment, proceeding only to communicate the outcome to SDSA.
Where, for any reason, the debit of the sums due from the Customer is found to be impossible (for any reason whatsoever), SDSA will send to the e-mail address indicated by the Customer a communication of non-acceptance of the purchase order. The purchase process will automatically be cancelled and the online sales contract will be deemed not to be finalised.
Any refund to the Customer will be credited by way of the methods offered by SDSA and chosen by the Customer.
SDSA will send a notification e-mail once the refund has been made to the e-mail address indicated by the Customer in the Purchase Order.

For each Purchase Order, SDSA will issue the respective invoice based upon information provided by the Customer in the Purchase Order. No change to the invoice will be possible after its issuance. The invoice will be sent to the Customer once the payment has been collected, in electronic format in accordance with applicable Laws.
SDSA proceeds to send the Products to the Customer by way of its trusted couriers from Monday to Friday, excluding Saturday, Sunday and public holidays.
The standard delivery timescales are approximately 3-5 days, express delivery 1-2 days from receipt of the Shipment confirmation e-mail. The stated delivery timescales are purely indicative.
Subject to cases of force majeure or unforeseeable events, the delivery timescales, do not exceed 30 days commencing from the day after that of transmission of the Purchase Order to SDSA, except where SDSA communicates - within the same timescale or by the last date agreed for the delivery, even by e-mail - the temporary impossibility of delivering the same. In that case, SDSA will proceed to refund any sums already paid by the Customer for payment of the invoice.
The Products may be delivered at different times when purchasing Products belonging to different product categories through a single Purchase Order.
If the details of the Customer are incomplete or in any case inexact (making it impossible to deliver the Products), SDSA, before processing the order, will contact the Customer at the contact details indicated by the same.
The shipment confirmation e-mail includes a “tracking number” which will allow the Customer to monitor the delivery status on the courier's website.
The delivery of the Products will be made to the address indicated in the Purchase Order exclusively in the presence of the Customer or his/her officer, provided that they are an adult, who must sign the delivery documents for the Products.
Upon delivery of the Products by the courier, the Customer or his/her officer is required to check that:
Once the transportation document is signed without the Customer or his/her officer having raised any dispute, the Customer may not bring any dispute in relation to the external characteristics of the delivered package
If the Customer rejects the package containing the Products, this will be considered as a withdrawal by the Customer from the online sales contract and SDSA will be entitled to retain from the refund due to the Customer the costs of return. The refund thus determined will be credited by way of the payment methods chosen by the Customer in the Purchase Order, promptly and at most within 14 days from the return of the package.

To comply with the terms of withdrawal, the Customer needs to send the communication relating to the exercise of the right of withdrawal before the expiry of the Withdrawal Period.
The Products, if already delivered, must be returned without undue delay and in any case within 14 days from the day on which you received confirmation of the return by SDSA. The deadline is respected if the Products are returned before the expiry of the 14 day period referred to above to the address indicated on the return label.
If Customer withdraws from the contract within the Withdrawal Period, all the payments made by Customer to SDSA, including delivery costs, will be refunded by SDSA without undue delay and in any case not beyond 14 days from the day on which SDSA was informed of Customer’s decision to withdraw from the contract. Those refunds will be made using the same payment method used by Customer for the initial transaction, except where Customer has expressly agreed otherwise; in any case, Customer will not incur any cost as a result of that refund.
The refund may be suspended by SDSA until no later than 14 days after receipt of the Products at SDSA’s warehouse or from the date Customer demonstrates to have returned the Products, if before. SDSA will process the return without undue delay from the date of delivery at its warehouse.

The Customer is advised to ship the Products to be returned, with their Institutional Packaging, insuring the entire amount of the goods and taking care to receive a shipment number allowing for the shipment to be tracked. SDSA will not be liable for any refund or compensation relating to Products and Institutional Packaging sent by the Customer but that has never been received by SDSA due to loss, theft or damage not attributable to the same.
Alternatively and in addition to the Right of Withdrawal as described in paragraph above, the Customer is also entitled to opt for the return/exchange procedure described herein.

In such case, and provided that Customer requests a change of the Products with Products having the same price, no refund will be made by SDSA and the newly ordered Products will be delivered free of charge once SDSA has received the returned Products and checked their good conditions.

For the commercial manufacturer’s warranties, where existing, the Customer is invited to read carefully the respective certificates delivered with the Products.
These Terms of Sale set out the full extent of SDSA’s obligations and liabilities in respect of the sale of the Products. To the extent permitted by applicable law, there are no other warranties, conditions or other terms that are binding on SDSA than the ones mentioned in these Terms of Sale. In particular, SDSA will not be responsible for ensuring that the Products are suitable for your particular purposes.
SDSA will not be liable for any disservice attributable to any causes beyond SDSA's reasonable control (a "force majeure"), where it is unable to implement the requested supply in the agreed timescales provided by the Terms of Sale. Causes of force majeure include, but are not limited to, measures of the Public Authority (e.g. judicial institutions, governmental bodies, local authorities etc. and any equivalent thereof), strike of its employees, employees of third party companies or employees of the couriers or carriers used by SDSA, as well as any other circumstance that is beyond the control of or independent from the latter.
SDSA, except in the case of its wilful misconduct or gross negligence, will also not be liable for any disservice or malfunctioning related to use of the internet network out of its control or that of its sub-suppliers and it may not be deemed liable in relation to damages, losses and costs incurred by the Customer following the lack of implementation of the online sales contract for reasons not attributable to the same, with the Customer only being entitled to the full return of the price paid and any accessory costs incurred.
If the Customer is unable to view part or all of the Website, no charge or liability may be attributed to SDSA, with the Customer being responsible for equipping itself autonomously with devices and programmes suitable for connecting to the internet network.
SDSA will do its utmost to ensure that the contents of the Website are updated; however, it cannot be excluded that errors and/or inaccuracies may occur (typing errors, inaccuracies or omissions, for example, relating to the price, Product availability and Product specifications). SDSA therefore reserves the right to correct the errors, inaccuracies or omissions even after the Purchase Order has been sent and it also reserves the right to change or update the information at any time without prior communication. If any such correction or change results in a change to Customer’s Purchase Order, SDSA will give Customer notice thereof and the right to cancel his Purchase Order without charge.
NOTHING IN THESE SALE TERMS SHALL SERVE TO EXCLUDE OR RESTRICT THE LIABILITY OF SDSA FOR DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY CAUSED BY SDSA’S NEGLIGENCE OR THAT OF ITS EMPLOYEES, FOR FRAUDULENT MISREPRESENTATION, OR FOR ANY OTHER LIABILITY THAT CANNOT BE EXCLUDED OR RESTRICTED BY LAW.
SDSA shall not be liable whether in contract, tort or otherwise for any economic losses (including without limitation loss of income, profits, contracts, business or anticipated savings), loss of data, loss of goodwill or reputation or for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive loss or damage of any kind howsoever arising OR FOR ANY CLAIM BY ANY THIRD PARTY EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED HEREIN.
TO THE FULL EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, SDSA’S LIABILITY SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT ACTUALLY PAID FOR THE PURCHASE OF PRODUCTS FROM THE WEBSITE BY THE CUSTOMER.
In order to be able to proceed with registration, with the sending of Purchase Orders and thus with the finalisation of the online sales contract, the Customer is asked to provide some personal data. The Customer acknowledges that the personal data provided will be registered and used by SDSA as data processor and by Champion Europe Services S.r.l. as data controller, in compliance with and in respect of the regulations set out in the privacy laws applicable in the Country of Customer’s residence, to implement each Purchase Order and, subject to the Customer's consent, for any marketing purposes as indicated in the specific Privacy Policy provided to the Customer via the Website at the time of registration.
The provision of data is necessary for the finalisation and implementation of the online sales contract; any failure to provide it will not allow for the finalisation and/or implementation of the online sales contract.
For any further information on the methods of personal data processing, the Customer is invited to read carefully the Privacy Policy.
SDSA reserves the right to change the Terms of Sale at any time. The Customer will be subject to the new terms of the Terms of Sale in force from time to time when making the order, except where the changes to the Terms of Sale were required by law or by the relevant authorities (in which case they will apply also to the orders in progress and SDSA will try to give Customer notice of these changes to allow Customer to possibly terminate the Purchase Order).
If any provision of these Terms of Sale shall be deemed unlawful, void or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from these Terms of Sale and shall be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law not affecting the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.
Any complaints may in any case be sent to SDSA to the following address: 5, rue Louis Blériot, 4460 Grâce-Hollogne, Belgium or by e-mail to the address championstore_EN@pfsweb.com.
