Account (whichever is sooner).

Purchases made using Your Account in store or online with Screwfix shall be subject to Screwfix’s standard terms and conditions for the sale of
goods, as set out at www.screwfix.com/help/termsandconditions. Purchases made using Your Account in store or online with B&Q shall be subject
to B&Q’s standard terms and conditions for the sale of goods, as set out at www.diy.com/customer-support/terms-and-conditions. In the event of
any inconsistencies between either of Screwfix or B&Q’s standard terms and conditions for the sale of goods and these Terms, these Terms shall
prevail.
