We may change these terms and conditions at any time. Any changes will take effect on the date they are posted onto the website. You will be asked to read and accept the terms and conditions each time you place an order, to ensure that you are familiar with the most current ones.

These terms do not affect your statutory rights.

We, our licensors and our suppliers own the copyright, trademarks and all other intellectual property rights in all material and content on this website, which you may use, download, copy, publish, transmit or otherwise make available by any other means only for your own personal, non-commercial use. Any other use or reproduction of the material or content is strictly prohibited.

These terms and conditions are governed by English law and are subject to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts. We do not accept amendments to these terms and conditions.

1. These Terms and Conditions

These terms and conditions apply only to orders for electronics made online via the EE shop on this website or the ‘shop’ tab of our app, through our contact centres, or in person in our retail stores only where the order is delivered to customer or collected by customer at a later stage and separately to when order placed, and do not apply to the following orders:

If you are purchasing goods or services using EE Finance powered by Glow, EE Limited acts as a credit broker and Glow Financial Services Limited are the lender ("Finance Provider"). You will need to agree to the Finance Provider's terms and conditions in relation to the finance of your order. The Finance Provider will take your upfront payment, confirm when the loan is activated and provide details for the customer portal registration. Please contact them if you have any queries in relation to the loan.

2. Creating an Order

  • You will have an opportunity to check and correct any errors in your order up until you submit your payment details.
  • To place an order, you will need to have a valid EE ID set up unless we state otherwise.
  • After submitting an order to us, we will give you an Order Reference Number and details of the products you have ordered. We will send the same details to you in an e-mail (our first e-mail). Please note that this email is an acknowledgement, not acceptance/confirmation of your order.
  • Alternatively, we may decline all or part of your order for any reason, in which case our second e-mail will tell you so.
  • Please note that products, prices and offers on this site, on our app, in our retail stores and through our contact centres may differ.
  • Finally, we will send you an e-mail confirming the dispatch of your order, at this point your order has been accepted/confirmed and fulfilled.
  • Before purchasing, you will have an opportunity to read our Privacy Policy at ee.co.uk/privacy. It describes how we may use your personal information.
  • The products these terms apply to are for consumers so we won’t provide a tax invoice or receipt for orders for them. By placing an order for products these terms apply to, you are confirming that you are not a VAT registered company using these products for business purposes.

3. Prices and Payment

  • All prices and charges in our order journeys are shown in UK pounds sterling. They include any VAT payable.
  • The total cost of your order will be the total price of the products and services you order plus the cost of delivery (if applicable), which will be set out in your order summary before you submit your payment details.
  • Prices, offers and products are subject to availability and may change before (but not after) we accept/confirm your order and dispatch it. If something becomes unavailable, we may offer you an alternative.
  • We try very hard to ensure that all information in our order journeys is accurate. If an error is discovered in the price of the goods that you have ordered or any other charges, we will inform you as soon as possible. In the event that you order an item and the price or any other charges shown in our order journeys is incorrect for any reason, we will contact you and cancel the order. We shall be under no obligation to fulfil an order for a product which was advertised at an incorrect price or with an incorrect charge.

4. Age Requirements

If you order a product with a minimum age requirement, by ordering you confirm that you are of the required age. Our couriers may require proof of age on delivery.

5. Delivery

  • Delivery times are calculated in working days - i.e. Monday to Friday inclusive excluding Bank holidays.
  • We have several delivery options (including Standard and Next day delivery), all options will be displayed at checkout. Delivery times may increase during busy periods, such as Christmas and during any sale periods. Please allow up to 28 days before reporting non-delivery of your purchase.
  • We do everything we can to meet the delivery times specified in the order journey. However, occasionally delivery times may be affected by factors beyond our control and therefore they cannot be guaranteed.
  • We cannot guarantee the use of any particular courier. If you order more than one product, they may dispatch from separate warehouses or may not be able to fit into one box. As a result, delivery may arrive in separate boxes, by different couriers and/or possibly on separate days.
  • If your order is being delivered by courier (excluding Royal Mail), we will send you an email with tracking details, so that you can track your order right to your door. The courier may also contact you with further details regarding delivery.
  • We will deliver the goods that you order to the delivery address you give when you place your order. Once an order is placed, you won't be able to change the delivery address. You can check the delivery address in the first email we send you. If you have given us an incorrect delivery address, please contact us as soon as possible as we may be able to help.
  • If there is no one available at your delivery address to accept the delivery when our courier arrives, the courier may either attempt delivery to a neighbour, attempt delivery to your delivery address again the next day, keep the goods for at least 5 days and in which you can contact them to re-deliver at any point, or deliver to a local post office for you to collect from. If the courier is unable to deliver the goods under one of these options, then the goods will be returned to the warehouse.
  • If you give us an incomplete delivery address and we are unable to deliver the goods, they will be returned to the warehouse.
  • Once the goods arrive back to the warehouse, they will be booked in for a refund and a refund will be made in accordance with Sub-Section 8 “Returns and Refunds” below and you will need to place a new order for the goods if you still want them.

6. Missing, Damaged or Incorrect Orders

  • We try very hard to ensure that you receive your order in pristine condition. If you do not receive all your products, please check whether they are being delivered separately and whether they have been dispatched.
  • Any images shown in the order journeys are for illustrative purposes only.
  • In the unlikely event that a product arrives damaged or is incorrect, please let us know as soon as possible. Items delivered damaged or with missing items must be reported to us within 14 days of delivery.

7. Items on pre-order or due back in stock

  • When you place an order and all or some of the items in your order are on pre-order or due back in stock:

    When you are paying by pay today    : payment for all the items in your
    order will be taken when you place your order (rather than when the
    items are dispatched).

    When you are paying by EE Finance, powered by Glow: the upfront
    payment for your item(s) will be taken when you place your order. The
    Finance Provider will contact you about your loan separately.
  • Please note that dispatch/delivery estimates for items that are on pre-order, recently launched or due back in stock can sometimes change. We will always keep you updated on the progress of your order.
  • Please note you can cancel an order for items on pre-order or due back in stock up to the point we allocate your items for dispatch (you can check order status and whether cancellation is still available and request cancellation by logging in at ee.co.uk and viewing your orders on the ‘Your orders’ page). If you cancel any items, we will refund all payments received from you (including cost of delivery) in relation to those items and will aim to provide that refund within 14 days after the day we receive your cancellation request.
  • You can also request a return of items in the 14-day cancellation period after delivery, same as with orders that are not for items on pre-order or due back in stock, in accordance with Sub-Section 8 “Returns and Refunds” below.
