COM-425 Week 4

When reading through the terms and conditions of www.demon-tweeks.co.uk, I found nothing unusual or nothing that I hadn’t seen prior to this.  All terms and conditions posted seemed very reasonable.

The terms and conditions for returning goods to Demon-Tweeks are very similar to other companies who sell items via the internet.  They state that a customer must inform the company if they are going to return the goods bought via the website within 7 days.  After this, they have 28days to return the product to the company.  The product bought form the company must have seals and enclosures still intact and must not have been installed before returning the product.  A customer cannot return an item that is seen as a specialised item.  If all these terms and conditions have been met, the consumer will receive the amount of credit equal to the product.  Demon-Tweeks competitors, www.potn.com terms and conditions are almost identical to those at www.demon-tweeks.co.uk therefore it cannot be said that one company’s terms are better than the other.

When registering with www.demon-tweeks.co.uk, the company carry out extensive steps to insure that the information given to them cannot be intercepted or viewed by any unauthorised party.  Policies are also provided to the user telling them how information is stored and how it is used.  This can be found on the on the private policy statement on the website.  Encryption is used to store details on registered customers.  It transforms the information saved so that it is unreadable to unauthorised users therefore helps protect storage and back-up files belonging.
