LEGAL & COMPLIANCE
Right to Cancel.
Because we are a website you are not able to physically inspect the goods before you purchase – so the EU has created what is called your ‘Right to Cancel’ so that you can look at the goods we send you and decide if you want to keep them or if you want to send them back to us. You have 14 working days after we have completed delivery to decide if you want to use your Right to Cancel – after that period you have completed your purchase. This is referred to as a ‘cooling off’ period.

We have a policy of not selling Goods to any person whom we believe may be under 18 years of age or whom we believe may misuse the Goods in any way, this includes by flying them, by selling them to be misused or inhaling the gas in the chargers (also known as laughing gas).

You confirm that you do not propose to misuse the Goods or to supply the Goods to anyone you believe (i) may be under 18 years of age, or (ii) may misuse the Goods. We reserve the right to refuse to sell our Goods to any person who we suspect may misuse them.
We reserve the right to refuse to sell our Goods to any person who we suspect may supply the Goods (i) to persons under 18, or (ii) to persons who may misuse the Goods. We reserve the right to refuse to sell or to limit the number of Goods sold to any person. Without prejudice to the generality of clause 8.5 or any defences which may be available to us, insofar as you disregard the risks associated with inhalation of Nitrous Oxide, the warnings and instructions.
All persons that access our website, use our services, order after receiving promotional materials or buy products from www.smartchefstore.com must be over 18 years old. We refuse to do business or engage with persons under the age of 18 years old. It as an offence to lie about your age.

- MISUSE POLICY
Nitrous oxide products are only for sale to persons over the age of 18 years. Please do not purchase or attempt to purchase if you are under 18 or if you intend to supply to persons under the age of 18.
We wish to draw our customers attention to the provisions of the Psychoactive Substances Act 2016, under which it is a criminal offence to supply a psychoactive substance to another person if you are aware, or you are reckless as to whether the substance is likely to be consumed by the person to whom it is supplied (or by some other person) for its psychoactive effects.
The nitrous oxide, N20 contained within the cream chargers is identical to the gas used as an anaesthetic, which can tempt people into misusing it as laughing gas. When nitrous oxide is prepared and used by professionals for a medical emergency, it is done so in a safe and controlled environment. What is referred to as laughing gas and used in the medical profession is in actual fact not pure N20 nitrous oxide, which is what is contained within nitrous oxide cream chargers but is actually a mix of 70% oxygen and 30% nitrous oxide.
We would like to remind all customers of the potentially fatal consequences of abusing laughing gas and the dangerous effects of nitrous oxide abuse. Any attempt at self-medication with laughing gas could lead to immediate death by asphyxiation or at the very least there could be serious long-term side effects. In order to combat this, we require that all customers purchasing our products will need to complete our online declaration and confirm they are aware of the issues and will make every effort to prevent our products from being misused.
You must confirm that you are the named purchaser and at least 18 years of age and understand that you will be committing an offence if you provide false information to us. Also, we issue this warning that if we suspect you intend to misuse our products, we will refuse to sell any equipment to you. We will refuse to do any future business with you and your account (name, address etc) will be blocked.
Our cream chargers are strictly to be used for food preparation only

The EU has regulations that make sure retailers of electrical goods take some responsibility for the disposal of electrical products when they reach the end of their life. Below is an explanation of the WEEE Directive – basically it means that we will take back any products we have sold you and dispose of them for you. We urge you to either return WEEE waste to us – or make sure you take it to your local refuse centre where they will know what to do with it.
Used Batteries
For all our battery powered products we offer versions with a choice of rechargeable or disposable batteries. We are subsidising the cost of the rechargeable batteries to encourage you to use them so please always buy this version even though it is slightly more expensive. The rechargeable batteries are a new type which doesn’t lose its charge over time – Low Self Discharge (LSD). We also sell a recharger. You can recharge these batteries 1,000 times – saving you money and your children from genetic deformities!
We are happy to dispose of your batteries – but would recommend that you take them to your local recycling centre. A lot of supermarkets have bins where you can dispose of them. Batteries contain materials which are very polluting – including lead which if you do not dispose of them properly ends up in the soil & water and then in the food you eat! So please take responsibility for your polluting waste!
WEEE Regulations
The Waste Electrical or Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive requires countries to maximise separate collection and environmentally friendly processing of these items. In the UK, distributors (including retailers) must provide a system which allows all customers buying new electrical equipment the opportunity to recycle their old items free of charge. Those establishing their own take-back scheme must as a minimum offer all customers buying new electrical equipment free take back of their old electricals on a like-for-like basis. Unwanted electrical equipment is the UKs fastest growing type of waste. Many electrical items can be repaired or recycled, saving natural resources and the environment. If you do not recycle, electrical equipment will end up in landfill where hazardous substances will leak out and cause soil and water contamination harming wildlife and also human health. To remind you that old electrical equipment can be recycled, it is now marked with a crossed-out wheeled bin symbol. Please do not throw any electrical equipment (including those marked with the crossed out wheeled bin symbol) in your bin.
