Glide & Slide Independent Ski Shop UK Terms & Conditions

Glide & Slide Independent Ski Shop – Terms & Conditions

Missing Delivery
If you believe your order is overdue, please get in touch with us promptly. You can email us at info@glideslide.co.uk (please include your order number), or call us on 01943 461136.

Please Note: We are not liable for parcels that have been delivered to locations deemed 'safe' by the courier—such as porches, garages, sheds, or with neighbours—nor for items left unattended.
In accordance with the Consumer Rights Act 2015 and the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013, we are responsible for ensuring that goods are delivered within the timeframe agreed at the time of purchase (typically within 30 days unless otherwise specified). Once a parcel has been marked as delivered by the courier to the address you have provided, responsibility for the item transfers to you.
To minimise the risk of delivery issues, we recommend specifying a secure delivery location or an alternative address where someone you trust can receive the parcel on your behalf.

Free Ski Binding Mounting
We’re pleased to offer complimentary ski binding mounting when skis and bindings are purchased together via our website.
To ensure accurate and safe setup, we require the following details:
  • Your ski boot sole length (in millimetres – usually embossed on the heel or side of the boot)
  • Your height
  • Your weight
  • Your age
  • Your skier ability classification (Type I, II, or III — see our ski binding mounting page more for details)

These details allow us to calculate the correct DIN setting, which controls when the bindings release — an important safety measure.

Important: For the most precise and secure fit, we strongly recommend visiting our store in Otley, West Yorkshire with your ski boots. This enables us to conduct a full boot-to-binding compatibility check and final safety test.

If bringing your boots in isn’t feasible, we will mount your bindings based on the information you provide. However, in this case, we advise having the setup checked by a qualified technician at your local ski shop or resort before use.

As required by the Consumer Rights Act 2015, all services are carried out with reasonable care and skill. However, if your ski boots are not provided for the final fitting, we cannot take responsibility for any issues relating to DIN settings or binding fit.

Card Security
At Glide & Slide, we are committed to keeping your payment details secure. All card transactions are processed through Paymentsense, a trusted and PCI DSS-compliant payment gateway, using robust encryption and security protocols.
When making a payment:
  • You will be redirected to a secure, encrypted page indicated by a padlock icon in your browser’s address bar.
  • The website address will begin with https://, confirming the connection is secure.
We do not store your full card details on our servers. All transactions are processed in compliance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS).
In accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018, your personal and payment data is handled with the highest levels of confidentiality and care. We only collect and process information necessary to fulfil your order and maintain our contractual obligations.

Product Availability
If a product is not available for immediate dispatch, we will inform you of the expected delivery date. Please note that delivery times may be longer than usual. In such cases, you will have the option to cancel your order prior to dispatch if the revised delivery timeline does not meet your needs.

Colours
While we make every effort to display accurate colours on our website, please be aware that actual colours may vary slightly from those shown. This discrepancy can occur due to factors such as differences in screen settings, display types, and lighting conditions. Variations in monitor calibration, brightness, and contrast settings may also affect how colours are viewed. We strive to provide the most accurate representation possible, but we cannot guarantee that the colours on your screen will exactly match those of the actual product.
