Depending on the country or territory in which you currently reside, you may have specific rights under the law of that country or territory. The terms applicable to specific countries and territories can be found at the end of these Terms and Conditions.

1.2.     Interpretation

Words denoting the singular include the plural and vice-versa. Headings are for convenience only and do not affect interpretation. Any words following the terms including, “include”, “in particular”, “for example” or any similar expression shall be construed as illustrative and shall not limit the sense of the words, description, definition, phrase or term preceding those terms.

2.          Acknowledgment of the Terms applicable to the Services

2.1.     By accessing the Website, you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions. If you disagree with any part of the Terms, you should not access the Website.

2.2.     Our Services allow you to search through the Website and purchase products from various different Brands worldwide. As part of the Services, we also provide some ancillary services including arranging delivery of the products, providing you with customer service assistance and payment processing. We may also offer you the opportunity to participate in special promotions or to obtain promotional gifts or vouchers that may be redeemed for products or discounts on products in exchange for your participation in contests or competitions, as well as loyalty programs, in which you may be awarded points for your purchases on the Website (subject to separate terms and conditions).

2.3.     In order to use the Website to place any order for products, you must be over the age of 18 and possess a valid credit or debit card.

2.4.     The contract for the purchase of the products is between you and the relevant Brand. This means that it is the Brand (and not us) who is legally liable for selling the products to you. You are not purchasing the products from us and we are not a party to the contract of sale.  TFR merely provides services to the Brand. TFR and the Brand are independent contracting parties and are not in a partnership, joint venture or agency relationship with each other. Further details about the products, the ordering process, payment for, delivery and returns of products and the involvement of TFR and the Brand are set out in sections 4 to 7 below.

2.5.     The delivery logistics service for international orders will be arranged by us or by the Brand, depending upon the Brand in question. This will be made clear to you at checkout. We may charge you for these services, which charge will be shown at checkout and prior to your purchase of the products. Your contract with us is concluded once the products have been delivered to you by the courier (where shipping is arranged by us) or once we have notified your order to the Brand (where shipping is arranged by the Brand) and our liability to you will end at the same time.

2.6.     For domestic orders, the delivery logistics service will be arranged by the Brand selling the product that you have ordered and the applicable charges will be shown at checkout and prior to your purchase of the products. Our liability to you for such orders will end at the moment that we notify the Brand of your order.

2.7.     We may amend these Terms and Conditions from time to time so please check the Website regularly, and each time you use the Services to order products, to ensure you understand the legal terms which apply at that time.

3.          Other Related Documents 

The below policies, which are available on the Website, will form an integral part of these Terms and Conditions: 

  • Privacy Policy
  • Cookies Policy
  • Return and Refund Policy

4.          The Products

4.1.         We try to be as accurate as possible when providing product descriptions and images on the Website. However, we cannot guarantee that all details are always complete, accurate, or error free because they are based on information provided to us by the Brands (who remain liable for them). The images of the products on the Website are for illustrative purposes only and we cannot guarantee that your device's display of the images accurately reflects the true appearance (including colour) of the products. 

4.2.         We do not allow Brands to offer for sale on the Website flawed products of lower quality than the relevant market standards or products that do not comply with applicable law. While we request that all Brands using the Website have and maintain reasonable business policies that comply with our own business policies, we cannot be responsible for the Brands' business policies. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Brands, and not TFR, are responsible for ensuring that their policies, products and their labelling and descriptions are in compliance with applicable law. As a consumer, you have legal rights in relation to products that are faulty or not as described. Nothing in these Terms and Conditions will affect your legal rights that cannot legally be changed by contract. If a product you have ordered is not as described, is flawed or of a lower quality, you can inform the Brand (via TFR) that you wish to return it (please refer to the sales contract with the relevant brand ("Sales Contract") and also to our Return and Refund Policy for further information). Please see section 7 below for details of how to arrange a return. 

4.3.         The products sold by the Brands are supplied for your domestic and private use only. You agree that you will not use the products for any business, commercial or re-sale purposes. You further agree that you will not export, re-export, or otherwise transfer the products to countries or territories that are the target of comprehensive embargoes or sanctions or to parties identified on the U.S. Treasury Department’s List of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List or the E.U.’s Consolidated Financial Sanctions List. Neither we nor the Brands have any liability to you for any loss of profit, loss of business, interruption of business, or loss of business opportunity arising due to your purchase or use of the products. 

5.          Orders and Payment

5.1.     The Website permits you to check your order and correct any errors before completing a purchase. By placing an order, you represent and warrant to us that:

5.1.1.     you are over 18 years of age;

5.1.2.     the information you have provided is accurate (for example, the correct product, quantity, fit, etc.);

5.1.3.     you are an authorised user of the credit or debit card used to place your order and that there are sufficient funds in the account to cover the cost of your order; and 

5.1.4.     you are not located in a country that is subject to the United States government embargo, or that has been designated by the United States government as a "terrorist supporting" country, and you are not listed on any United States government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

5.2.     By completing the check-out process and placing an order by clicking the "Pay Now " button on the checkout page, you are offering to purchase the products from the relevant Brand (and not directly from us). Your order for the products is subject to the provisions of the Sales Contract. 

5.3.     When you place an order, you will receive an email confirming receipt of your order. This email is only an acknowledgement for information purposes. The contract between you and the Brand in relation to the products will not be formed until we have checked that the Brand has accepted your order. If your order is accepted, we will send you a confirmation email, which concludes the contract between you and the Brand. The confirmation email will include a description of the products purchased in the order and a copy of the Sales Contract, which will include information about your right to cancel the contract between you and the Brand.

5.4.     All orders are subject to availability. Whilst we try to ensure that all details and descriptions that appear on the Website are accurate, as this information is provided to us by the Brands, there may be cases where errors occur.  If we discover an error in the price of any products that you have ordered, we will inform you of this as soon as possible and, acting on the Brand's instructions, give you the option, where permitted by applicable law, of reconfirming your order at the correct price or cancelling it. If we are unable to contact you, and where permitted under applicable law, your order will be treated as cancelled. If you cancel and you have already paid for the products, you will receive a full refund as soon as possible in accordance with our Return and Refund Policy.

5.5.     Once we have verified your payment details and the Brand has accepted and approved your order for delivery, we will email you to inform you of this. In the unlikely event that we or the Brand encounter a problem when processing your order, we will contact you and may request further information to try to resolve the issue. We reserve the right not to submit your order to the Brand, and the Brand reserves the right not to accept your order if, for example, the product ordered is out of stock, has been withdrawn or is otherwise not available, or if we are unable to obtain authorisation for your payment or if you do not meet the eligibility criteria (e.g. you are under 18).

5.6.     After entering into the Sales Contract, the Brand will be under a legal duty to supply you with goods that are in conformity with the Sales Contract. At no point will TFR take on risk or title in the products. Legal title to the product purchased will pass from the Brand to you upon your payment being accepted. Risk in the product will remain with the Brand until it is delivered to you at the address specified when you placed your order.

5.7.     When you submit your order, we carry out a standard pre-authorisation check on your payment card on behalf of the relevant Brand, and products will not be dispatched until the details you have provided are verified.

5.8.     Depending on your delivery address, additional taxes and charges may apply. If you are shipping items from a Brand outside of your territory, and depending on the territory in which you are resident, you may need to pay import duties, customs duties, clearance charges, taxes and levies upon receipt of the products, and other amounts payable in connection with the export, import and delivery of the Products. We will notify you during the checkout process if such duties and charges are included (delivery duty paid or "DDP") or you may have to pay them upon receipt of the products (delivery duty unpaid or "DDU"). If they are not included, neither we nor the Brand have any control over these duties and charges and we cannot advise on their amount. You will be responsible for payment of any such duties and charges that are not included. Please contact your local customs office for further information and a “landed cost estimate” before placing your order.

6.     Delivery

6.1.     The estimated delivery date of the products will be stated in your order confirmation email. Delivery times are estimates only and cannot be guaranteed. Delivery times may vary depending on the availability of the products and your delivery address. 

6.2.     In the case of international orders, we (or the Brand, where the Brand is responsible for delivery) will try to ensure that your order is delivered by the estimated delivery date if given, but there may be circumstances where delivery is delayed because of events beyond our reasonable control. If this happens, we will try to arrange for your products to be delivered as soon as possible, but we will not be liable to you for any losses caused as a result of such delay (whether TFR or the Brand is responsible for shipping the products). International delivery details of the countries and territories we deliver to can be found on the Website.

6.3.     If you purchase products for delivery to an international destination, your order may be subject to import duties and taxes, which will be indicated and are included in the price at checkout (DDP). However, TFR reserves the right to ship to certain countries or territories on a DDU basis, meaning that you will be responsible for paying any import duties and taxes once your order reaches the delivery address. You will be informed at checkout whether you may be liable to pay further duties and taxes on your order upon delivery. Please see section 5.8 (above) for more information on duties and taxes. You must comply with all applicable law and regulations of the country for which the products are destined. We will not be liable or responsible if you breach any such laws.

6.4.     In cases where the products will be delivered to you directly by the Brands, your order may arrive in multiple deliveries and at different times.

6.5.     If no one is available at your address to sign for your order, our courier will contact you.

7.          Returns, Refunds and Customer Service

7.1.     We operate a complaints handling and returns procedure as an outsourced service to the Brands. Please let us know if you have any complaints or comments, for example if you are not satisfied with your product, because it does not conform to its description, you have received the wrong product, it is faulty or damaged, if your product has not arrived or you wish to submit a query about a product. You may also return a product in certain circumstances in accordance with our Return and Refund Policy. Please first contact us by email at contact@thefuturerocks.com, or by using the online live chat function on the Website. 

7.2.     The decision whether to accept a return and to grant you a refund (or replacement product) lies with the Brand, and not with TFR. In the event that our relationship with a particular Brand has been terminated before we receive your complaint about a product that you have purchased from that Brand, then we will redirect your complaint to the relevant Brand, who will remain under a legal duty to handle your complaint and to contact you, and we will inform you that we have transferred your query or complaint. You have rights under the Sales Contract, which governs your purchase.

7.3.     Products marked/ displayed as final sale cannot be returned or exchange. Please see our Return and Refund Policy for information on returns, replacements, repairs and refunds applicable to all customers and those terms applicable to customers in specific countries and territories. 

7.4.     If you return an item, the taxes and import duties will not be refunded to you. You will be responsible for reclaiming any such tax or duty directly from your local customs office.

8.1.     The Website may contain links to third-party websites, products, content or services that are not owned or controlled by TFR ("Third Party Services").

Country and Territory-specific provisions

United Kingdom

Section 5.8 shall be supplemented as follows:

If you are viewing the Website from the UK, the product prices advertised on the Website from Brands located within the UK are inclusive of the VAT charged by the relevant Brand, including VAT on delivery costs.

For orders from Brands shipping to the UK from outside the UK, delivery costs are not included in the prices and will be charged in addition. The delivery costs (which will include VAT charged by us) will vary depending on the products that you have ordered and your delivery address. The delivery costs applicable to your order will be clearly displayed at checkout before you place your order (and are included in the "Total Payable" amount shown on the order summary page).

Sections 12, 13.1 and 13.2 shall not apply to UK consumers - these sections are removed and replaced with the following instead:

12.1 We are responsible to you for foreseeable loss and damage caused by us. If we fail to comply with these Terms and Conditions, we are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breaking this contract or our failing to use reasonable care and skill, but we are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable. Loss or damage is foreseeable if either it is obvious that it will happen or if, at the time the contract was made, both we and you knew it might happen, for example, if you discussed it with us during the sales process.

12.2 We do not exclude or limit in any way our liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so. This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors; for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; for breach of your legal rights in relation to the products including the right to receive products which are as described and match information we provided to you and any sample or model seen by you, of satisfactory quality and fit for any particular purpose made known to us.
