Registered address: Unit A, 82 James Carter Road, Mildenhall, England, IP28 7DE

Contact: hello@breadboard.it

2. These terms

By placing an order or creating an account on Breadboard.it, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site. We may update these terms from time to time — the version in effect at the time of your order applies.

3. Products

We sell assembled breakout boards: surface-mount ICs soldered onto PCBs with 2.54mm pin headers. Product listings describe the IC, package, pin count, and breakout configuration.

All components are genuine, sourced from authorised distributors. Assembly is lead-free reflow. Each board is inspected before dispatch.

Product images and 3D renders are for illustration. The physical board may differ slightly in silkscreen placement, solder finish, or PCB colour shade.

4. Pricing & payment

All prices are in GBP. We are not currently registered for UK VAT, so the price you see is the price you pay — no VAT is added at checkout. Prices may change at any time, but the price at the time you place your order is the price you pay.

Despite our best efforts, products may occasionally be listed at an incorrect price. If we discover a pricing error, we will contact you before dispatching the order and offer you the option to proceed at the correct price or cancel for a full refund. We are not obliged to fulfil orders placed at an incorrect price.

Payment is processed by Stripe. We do not store your card details. Your order is an offer to purchase. We accept your order when it is dispatched. We will send you a dispatch confirmation email at that point.

5. Orders & dispatch

Order confirmation is sent to your email address. Dispatch times depend on stock availability:

• In stock — dispatched within 1–2 business days
• Needs assembly — dispatched within 3–5 business days
• Needs parts — if parts are not in stock, we will contact you with an estimated timeline before proceeding

We ship from the United Kingdom. International orders may be subject to local import duties and taxes, which are your responsibility.

6. Cancellation & returns

Under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013, you have the right to cancel your order within 14 days of receiving the goods, without giving a reason.

To cancel, contact us at hello@breadboard.it with your order number. You must return the goods within 14 days of notifying us, at your own cost. You may handle the goods as necessary to establish their nature and characteristics, but we may reduce your refund if the value is diminished by excessive handling.

We will refund the full purchase price (including original delivery costs) within 14 days of receiving the returned goods.

Custom board orders (quotes) are made to your specification and are exempt from the 14-day cancellation right once production has begun, except where the product is faulty.

See our Returns & Shipping page for full details.

7. Faulty goods

If a product is faulty or not as described, you are entitled to a replacement or full refund under the Consumer Rights Act 2015. Contact us within 30 days of receiving the goods.

We may ask for a photo or description of the fault. We will cover return postage for confirmed faulty items.

8. Accounts

You may create an account to track orders, submit chip requests, and request custom board quotes. You are responsible for keeping your login credentials secure.

We may suspend or close accounts that are used in breach of these terms.

9. Intellectual property

All content on Breadboard.it (text, images, designs, code) is owned by Arcneon Limited unless otherwise stated. Product datasheets remain the property of their respective manufacturers.

You may use our breakout boards in any project (personal, commercial, educational) without restriction. The boards themselves carry no licence terms.

10. Limitation of liability

Our breakout boards are prototyping tools. They are not certified for use in safety-critical, medical, automotive, or aerospace applications. We are not liable for any damage arising from the use of our products in such applications.

Our total liability for any claim is limited to the price you paid for the product in question. Nothing in these terms limits or excludes liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or any liability that cannot be excluded under law. Nothing in these terms affects your statutory rights under UK consumer law.

11. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales, without prejudice to your statutory right to bring proceedings in your local courts.
