Pre-ordering from O2 - Terms and Conditions

These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) apply when you pre-order a product from Telefónica UK Limited (you know us as “O2”), whether it’s online, over the phone or in shops.

  2. In order to place a Pre-order you will need to provide certain information, including but not limited to your name, address and billing information. It is your responsibility to make sure this information is accurate and up to date. If we do not have accurate information we will not be able to inform you when the Pre-order is available for purchase or refund any Pre-order payments, if applicable.

Payments

We reserve the right not to accept your Offer if you do not meet any relevant eligibility criteria, status requirements or credit check. Your Offer is only accepted once the Pre-ordered product is despatched.

  2. When you place a Pre-order you will need to pay the full upfront price of the Product or you may be asked to pay a deposit (“Pre-order Payment”). You may cancel your Pre-order and get a full refund of your Pre-order Payments at any time before the Product has been despatched.
