POLICY STATEMENT

At 2XS we strive to give you, the customer, the best possible service when purchasing goods, to make it a hassle-free and enjoyable experience when buying from our business. When using our website to purchase items you are agreeing to be bound by the Terms and Conditions which are set out below and we ask you to tick the box which is included on the transaction window to confirm that you have read our Terms and Conditions and that you agree with them.

ONLINE ORDERING

This couldn’t be easier, select the products you wish to purchase by depressing on the “buy” button. At any time you can check the contents of your shopping basket by going to the top of the screen and clicking on “basket”.

When you have completed selecting the goods you wish to buy you then go into the secure online shopping section where you give your personal details and credit/debit card information to confirm your purchase.

Alternatively, you can order any of the goods from our website, offline by phoning 2XS on 01243 512552 for retail and 01243 513077 for tuition bookings, open Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm.

Faulty Goods

Under the Consumer Rights Act you have an early right to reject goods that are unsatisfactory quality, unfit for purpose or not as described, and get a full refund.

But this right is limited to 30 days from the date you took ownership of the goods (this could be the date of purchase or the date the goods were delivered to you – whichever is later).

After the initial 30 days, you can’t demand a full refund in the first instance, but you still have the right to a repair or replacement”

TUITION BOOKINGS COMPLETED ONLINE

Cancellation of a tuition booking must be received in writing 21 days prior to the course commencing, after which time clients will forefeit their course fee.  Course date changes must also be made 21 days in advance in writing – this will not incur any costs.

2XS reserves the right to cancel course or change availability dates due to weather conditions, or any other technical issues.  In these instances, alternative dates will be offered or a refund.  We reserve the right to change lesson type from group to private if under 50% full and shorten the course accordingly.

We will contact you in case of adverse weather or inadequate conditions – once a lesson is booked presume it will go ahead unless we contact you.

*All kitesurfing lessons are subject to correct weather and tide conditions. The lessons are taught around low tide and we do not teach in off shore winds. Our lessons will go ahead unless you hear from us that the forecast isn’t looking suitable. This is the nature of the sport and something we have no control on. If lessons are cancelled, we will rebook you in the next available slot.

There is a fee to park at West Wittering Estate which is not included in the 2XS course fee.
