You can find everything you need to know about us, Currys Group Limited (“Currys”, “we”, “us”, “our”), and our products on our website (currys.co.uk) or from our sales staff before you order. We also confirm the key information to you in writing after you order by email.
We’ve tried to keep our Terms and Conditions (“Ts and Cs”) as clear as possible and to give you all the information we can (but not too much) about your online/telesales transactions so that you completely understand the whole process, from order to delivery and beyond. It’s really important to us that your online/telesales shopping experience meets expectations, so please spend a few minutes reading through these Ts and Cs.
Items sold on our website and in-store are intended exclusively for normal domestic and personal use within the UK and are not for commercial use or resale in or to any other territory. In relation to sales from our stores within Northern Ireland or sales via our website for delivery to an address in Northern Ireland, by purchasing the item(s) you agree that the items bought are exclusively for your domestic and personal use within the UK.
You’ll need to accept our Ts and Cs every time you order on currys.co.uk – they might change from time to time, so do check the date at the top of the page.
Please note that different terms (including prices, charges for services, availability, delivery times and returns policies) apply to purchases made in one of our stores. Different terms also apply to our Care & Repair service (if you have ordered a Care & Repair service, please see the Care & Repair terms for more details) and for pay monthly phones (if you have ordered a pay monthly phone, please see the terms provided to you in respect of your pay monthly phone at the time you placed your order).
These Ts and Cs are intended for our consumer customers only. If you are buying for a business, please use our business website (business.currys.co.uk) as there are some other terms (and benefits) specifically for you.
Firstly, don’t panic if you make any mistakes during your order, you can correct any input errors right up until you confirm payment. Once you’re happy everything is correct and you’ve submitted an order, you’ll be given an Order Reference Number and details of the products (and/or services) you have ordered. You’ll then receive an email headed ‘Order Acknowledgement’ recognising receipt of your order. We will then send a second email headed ‘Order Confirmation’ to confirm that we have accepted your order. This second email also lets you know how your products will be delivered to you.
If you have placed an order by telephone and you don't have an email address, we'll give you the Order Reference Number over the phone and post you a copy of your receipt.
Sometimes we reject orders, even if you have received your Order Confirmation email. For example, we take all reasonable steps to ensure all details, descriptions and prices of products and services are correct at the time the information was entered onto the system. However, sometimes we have to hold our hands up and admit we have made a mistake by unintentionally publishing inaccurate information on the site (e.g. the price, description or availability of a product you have ordered).
We may also reject an order, for example, because:
- a product is unexpectedly out of stock;
- a credit reference we have obtained is unsatisfactory;
- we can't verify your age (where the product is age-restricted e.g. computer games);
- you have been abusive (either physically or verbally) to any of our staff or you cause or threaten to cause harm or damage to our staff and/or property;
- we identify the transaction as being potentially fraudulent (when deciding whether to accept your order we may use certain information about you, including any received from our accredited identity verification partner (we may pass on your details for them to check against certain public and private databases), to help protect you and us from fraudulent activities);
- your order exceeds the maximum product limit per transaction or per customer, e.g. we are only able to accept orders for a maximum of 2 PAYG mobiles as part of the same transaction, and some products carry a maximum product limit per customer in a 90-day period (as highlighted on the relevant product page); or
- you are located outside the UK or our delivery areas (as stated on our website).
When this happens, we will let you know as soon as possible by email and refund any sums you have paid for goods and/or services you will not receive.
However, for some products we take payment at regular intervals (for example, for our subscription products such as our auto-renewing software products), as explained to you during the order process. If your product is goods (rather than digital content or services), you will own it once we have received payment in full.
All our prices are in UK pounds. The total cost of your order will be the price of the products you order, the delivery charge (if any), plus any additional services you choose e.g. premium delivery or installation. You’ll see all these and the total price you need to pay in your Shopping Basket before you submit an order. Payment is taken when you submit your order.
If the rate of VAT changes between your order date and the date we supply the product, we adjust the rate of VAT that you pay, unless you have already paid in full before the change in the rate of VAT takes effect.
If our supply of your product is delayed by an event outside our control (for example, due to supply chain issues, traffic levels or adverse weather conditions), we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and we will 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 us via our Help & Support page to end the contract between us and receive a refund for any products you have paid for in advance, but not received.
A product's true colour may not exactly match that shown on your device or in our marketing or its packaging may be slightly different.
We may charge you additional sums if you don't give us the information we've asked for about how we can access your property for delivery, installation or to provide services, or if the information you have provided to us is not correct, or if we cannot access your property to deliver the product. For example, we might need to re-deliver on a different date, on another vehicle or with extra manpower, or reschedule services.
You’ll find all the finer details about our delivery (including where we deliver to), installation and recycling services on our Help & Support page.
If you have ordered an appliance from us, you’ll need to have safely disconnected your old appliance prior to our arrival, unless you have chosen one of our installation services for your new product. Gas and dual fuel cookers must be disconnected by a Gas Safe registered engineer and mains wired electric cookers should only be disconnected by a qualified person.
For most large products on our website, we can take away your old appliance for you when we deliver your new one. Full details can be found on our Recycling page.
Your legal right to change your mind. For most of our products bought online or over the telephone, you have a legal right to change your mind about your purchase and receive a refund of what you paid for it, including the delivery costs. This is subject to some conditions, as set out below.
When you can't change your mind. You can't change your mind about an order for:
- digital downloads, after you have started to download or stream these;
- services, once these have been completed;
- products sealed for health protection or hygiene purposes, once these have been unsealed after you receive them (for example, shavers, sexual wellness products);
- sealed DVDs, CDs, memory cards and software packaging discs including games, once these products are unsealed after you receive them;
- a Software Product Activation Key Card, once the silver strip on the back of the card is no longer intact;
- goods that are made to your specifications or are clearly personalised; and
- goods which become mixed inseparably with other items after their delivery.
The deadline for changing your mind. If you change your mind about a product, you must let us know:
- if it is goods (for example, an appliance or a TV, but excluding connected products with airtime, such as a sim-only contract – see below), no later than 30 days after the day we deliver your product. If the goods are for regular delivery (for example, a subscription), you can only change your mind after the first delivery. If the goods are split into several deliveries over different days, the period runs from the day after the last delivery.
- if it is a connected product with airtime, such as a sim-only contract, no later than 14 days after the day we deliver your product.
- if it is a service that has not been completed (for example, installation services), no later than 30 after the day we confirm we have accepted your order.
- if it is for digital content for download or streaming (for example, software or a digital game download), no later than 14 days after the day we confirm we have accepted your order. However, you can't change your mind about digital content if you have agreed to download it during the cooling off period and we have started providing it.
How to let us know. To let us know you want to change your mind, contact us using our Webchat service. Have your Order Reference Number and delivery details to hand. You may also use the cancellation request form on the Returns, Refunds & Exchanges page of the website but it is not obligatory.
You have to return the product. If your product is goods (for example, an appliance or a TV), you have to return it (and any accessories and free gifts provided with it) to us within 30 days from the date of collection or delivery. You can:
- bring the product to one of our stores (unless you purchased the product using your Currys flexpay account or your product is an Online Only large kitchen appliance or software product activation key cards – see below*) - find your nearest store here or contact us using our Webchat service). You will need your email receipt and the card you paid with. Please note that Same Day Big Box Collections (e.g. washing machines) must be returned to store;
- drop off your item at a DPD pickup shop to send the product back to us, following the returns process on our website. If you do this, you should keep a receipt or other evidence from the delivery service that proves you have sent it and when you sent it. If you don’t do this and we don’t receive the goods at all or within a reasonable time we won't refund you the price. For help with returns, including our collection arrangements for goods which can't be posted, see the Returns, Refunds and Exchanges page on our website, or contact us using our Webchat service; or
- contact us via our Webchat service to arrange for a collection.
*Please note that:
- Online Only large kitchen appliances and software product activation key cards cannot be returned to one of our stores. These products require a collection, as set out above. Please contact one of our helpful colleagues using our Webchat service;
- for online purchases made using PayPal, if you return your online purchase to store, our store colleagues will only be able to offer a refund via an exchange or gift card. For a refund via your original means of payment, please post or arrange for a collection of the product with our aftersales team using our Webchat service; and
- online purchases made using your Currys flexpay account cannot be returned to one of our stores (unless it is a Same Day Big Box Collection (e.g. a washing machine) which must be returned to a store). These products need to be posted back to us or collected, as set out above.
We only refund standard delivery costs. We don't refund any extra you have paid for express delivery or delivery at a particular time.
You have to pay for services you received before you change your mind. If you bought a service (such as installation services relating to a product or subscription goods or services) we don't refund you for the time you were receiving it before you told us you'd changed your mind. We may also charge you a fee to uninstall a product you are returning if required.
We reduce your refund if you have used or damaged a product. Goods must be returned as new and, where possible, in the original packaging. If you handle the product in a way which would not be acceptable in-store, we may reduce your refund to compensate us for its reduced value a “Non-pristine charge.” For example, we reduce your refund if the product's condition is not "as new", it has been damaged by you, price tags have been removed, you have installed the product or have inputted data/software onto it, the packaging is damaged, or accessories or free gifts are missing. In some cases, because of the way you have treated the product, no refund may be due. Our support team can advise you on whether we're likely to reduce your refund via our Webchat service.
When and how we refund you. If your product is a service, digital content or goods that haven't been delivered or that we're collecting from you, we refund you as soon as possible and within 14 days of you telling us you've changed your mind. If your product is goods that you're sending back to us, we refund you within 14 days of receiving them back from you (or receiving evidence you've sent them to us). We refund you by the method you used for payment*. We don't charge a fee for the refund.
*As set out above, for purchases using PayPal, if you return them to store, our store colleagues will only be able to offer a refund via an exchange or gift card. For a refund via your original means of payment, please post or arrange for a collection of the product with our aftersales team using our Webchat service.
We tell you when and how you can end an on-going contract with us (for example, for regular services or a subscription to digital content (such as software) or goods) during the order process and we confirm this information to you in writing after we've accepted your order. If you have any questions, please contact us using our Webchat service.
We want you to be absolutely satisfied with your product and would recommend that, where practicable, you unpack and check it for damage as soon as it arrives. If you receive a damaged product, please contact us as soon as the damage is discovered via our Webchat service. Have your Order Reference Number and delivery details to hand.
We do everything we can to ensure your order arrives at your door complete and in pristine condition. If you don’t receive all your products at once, you can check that they have been dispatched using our tracking facility detailed in the confirmation email. If it’s not on its way, you can chat to one of our helpful colleagues using our Webchat service. In the unlikely event that the product is faulty, please follow the instructions in the delivery documents.
If your product is faulty, we will offer either a repair, exchange or refund if the fault occurs within 30 days of purchase (or delivery or installation, whichever is later). If the fault with your product occurs within its guarantee period (as notified to you during the order process) (normally 12 months from delivery) we will offer you a prompt repair service (see the Repairs section below) or exchange. In all cases, we reserve the right to inspect the product and verify the fault.
Refunds and exchanges. For a refund or exchange, the product must be returned complete with any accessories and free gifts offered and, if possible, with the original box and packaging.
If a DVD, CD or software item is faulty and is under guarantee (as notified to you during the order process), we will happily exchange it for the same title or offer a refund.
Repairs. Repairs will often be carried out by the manufacturers’ own specialist repair agents. If we refer you to such a repair centre when you call us, please be assured this is only in your best interests to get you and your product(s) up and running again. If you’re not happy with their service, please let us know by using our Webchat service.
Returning a faulty product. To return faulty products, you can either:
- take it to a Currys store (unless it is an Online Only large kitchen appliance, gym equipment, or items purchased online using your Currys flexpay account – see below). Please note that if you’re returning faulty goods to a store which have been paid for via PayPal, the store can only provide a refund (if required) via an exchange or gift voucher; or
- arrange a return/collection by contacting our After Sales Team using our Webchat service*.
- For Online Only large kitchen appliances, gym equipment, and purchases made using PayPal or your Currys flexpay account, please contact our After Sales team using our Webchat service* to return your faulty product.
*After-sales is open from 8am to 8pm, Monday to Friday, from 8am to 6pm, Saturday and from 9am to 6pm Sunday.
If we arrange to collect faulty goods from you (which must be from a UK address) it will be at our cost. Refunds for faulty products include the applicable delivery charge and you will not be charged for collection. Replacement goods if sent, will be sent to you by standard delivery. If a fault occurs while you are abroad, please contact us using our Webchat service to discuss how we can assist.
We do not cover faults in products which are caused by accident, neglect, misuse or normal wear and tear. Consumable items, such as non-rechargeable batteries and ink cartridges are covered by guarantee for 3 months after delivery (as notified to you during the order process).
THIS RETURNS POLICY DOES NOT AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS. THESE ARE SUMMARISED IN SECTION 16 BELOW.
We honour our legal duty to provide you with products that are as described to you on our website and that meet all the requirements imposed by law. Your legal rights are summarised below. These are subject to certain exceptions. For detailed information please visit the Citizens Advice website www.citizensadvice.org.uk. See also Section 22 (You have several options for resolving disputes with us) below.
Summary of your key legal rights
If you have ordered goods, for example, an appliance or a TV, the Consumer Rights Act 2015 says goods must be as described, fit for purpose and of satisfactory quality. During the expected lifespan of your product your legal rights entitle you to the following:
- Up to 30 days: if your goods are faulty, then you can get a refund.
- Up to six months: if your goods can't be repaired or replaced, then you're entitled to a full refund, in most cases.
- Up to six years: if your goods do not last a reasonable length of time you may be entitled to some money back.
If you have ordered digital content, for example, software or a digital game download, the Consumer Rights Act 2015 says digital content must be as described, fit for purpose and of satisfactory quality:
- If your digital content is faulty, you're entitled to a repair or a replacement.
- If the fault can't be fixed, or if it hasn't been fixed within a reasonable time and without significant inconvenience, you can get some or all of your money back.
- If you can show the fault has damaged your device and we haven't used reasonable care and skill, you may be entitled to a repair or compensation.
If you have ordered services, for example, installation services in relation to a product, the Consumer Rights Act 2015 says:
- You can ask us to repeat or fix a service if it's not carried out with reasonable care and skill, or get some money back if we can't fix it.
- If a price hasn't been agreed upfront, what you're asked to pay must be reasonable.
- If a time hasn't been agreed upfront, it must be carried out within a reasonable time.
Changes we can always make. We can always change a product or these Ts and Cs without notifying you in advance:
- to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements;
- to make minor technical adjustments and improvements, for example to address a security threat. These are changes that don't affect your use of the product; and
- 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.
Changes we can only make if we give you notice and an option to terminate. We can also make changes to the price of a product we supply as part of an on-going contract (for example, in relation to a software subscription, if the third party software provider increases the price of product), but if we do so we'll notify you in advance and if you are not happy with the change, you can contact us via the Help & Support page to end the contract before the change takes effect and receive a refund for any products you've paid for in advance, but not received.
From time to time, we may need to stop providing a product, such as an ongoing service or a subscription for digital content or goods. We will let you know as soon as we can in advance if this happens, and we will refund any sums you've paid in advance for products which won't be provided.
We can end our contract with you for a product and claim any compensation due to us (including enforcement costs) if:
- in relation to an on-going contract (for example, a subscription contract for digital content, goods or services), you don't make any payment to us when it's 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, the information we need for delivery or to access your property;
- you have ordered installation services, and the property or installation environment is not safe for us to carry out the installation for example from a health and safety or cleanliness perspective;
- you cause or threaten to cause harm or damage to our staff and/or property; or
- you don't, within a reasonable time, either allow us to deliver the product to you or collect it from us. If you have said you will collect a product from our store but you don't do this within 10 days, then we treat your order as cancelled and refund the purchase price, see Section 13 (If you bought online or over the telephone, you have a legal right to change your mind) above.
We're responsible for losses you suffer caused by us breaking this contract unless the loss is:
- Unexpected. 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. As long as we have taken the steps set out in Section 7 (We're not responsible for delays outside our control) above.
- Avoidable. Something you could have avoided by taking reasonable action or by following our instructions or advice. For example, damage to your own digital content or device, which was caused by digital content we supplied and which you could have avoided by following our advice to apply a free update or by correctly following the installation instructions or having the minimum system requirements advised by us.
- A business loss. It relates to your use of a product for the purposes of your trade, business, craft or profession.
How we use any personal data you give us is set out in our Privacy Policy.
Complaints. Please contact our support team via our Webchat if you have any questions or complaints and they will do their best to resolve any problems you have with us or our products in accordance with our Complaints process.
Resolving disputes without going to court. Alternative dispute resolution is an optional process where an independent body considers the facts of a dispute and seeks to resolve it, without you having to go to court. You can submit a complaint to CDRL through their website at https://www.cdrl.org.uk/. CDRL does not charge you for making a complaint and if you're not satisfied with the outcome, you can still go to court.
You can go to court. These Ts and Cs are governed by English law and wherever you live you can bring claims against us in the English courts. 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. We can claim against you in the courts of the country you live in.
We can transfer our contract with you, so that a different organisation is responsible for supplying your product. We'll tell you in writing if this happens and we'll ensure that the transfer won't affect your rights under the contract. You cannot transfer your contract to someone else.
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 Ts and Cs 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.
Before you place your order, you may be asked if you want to add a voluntary donation to charity.
If you later change your mind and request a refund under these terms and conditions, please note that any charity donations will not be refunded.
Perks
We want to make sure that Currys Perks always works for you, so we may change the benefits and offers that it provides.
There may be more terms that apply to specific offers or services that are open to you through Currys Perks – but we’ll let you know about these at the time.
Certain Currys Perks benefits are not available in Northern Ireland; any such exclusions will be clearly set out in the applicable terms and conditions.
You can leave at any time, and we might decide to close Currys Perks. If that happens, we’d love to stay in touch to send you offers that you might not want to miss. But we’ll do this only as set out in our Privacy Policy. You can unsubscribe or change your preferences at any time by clicking on the unsubscribe link at the bottom of a Perks email, or as set out in our Privacy Policy – you’re in control!
Please contact us via our Webchat service if you have any questions about Perks.
