@ Biffa the only reason I mailed him was to make sure we got this information. Its something a company is meant to do if you have the right to cancel. However if you don't have that right (yes there are some reasons you would not and I was concerned about a particular loophole) then the company is not obliged to inform you of this.
So TLDR: asked for information and he gave it to me and I now have a record of it for myself I believe that essentially yes I have the right to cool off.
Why this information is not already on the website? Ask Chris as it should be available to all customers.
Guy probably hates me but I just don't want to get screwed again.
Still until sufficient evidence pictures (mining porn) turn up it should be assumed we have paid for vaporware.

I hope you are right my friend, personally I took a risk with KNC, three times, twice its paid off so far. Bitmain have had the right idea the entire time from my perspective. I'd be all over anyone who can provide 1TH miners in stock for BTC delivered in a week max.
For a UK supplier all I ask is the above, and that we don't get ripped to death on overblown profits. I worked in import/export my entire working life, I have resold other manufacturers products and made my own in the UK, I know what it costs and what it takes to run a business. So I know when I'm being shafted. I know there are risks but there are acceptable risks and unacceptable ones.

Doubt very much that he hates you. The tone of the email came off more to me like, "Oh, damn, there's another detail we missed". He didn't hedge. That's good.
Frankly, they are seeming more legit to me by the day. Of course, that and five bucks will get you a latte, so take it for what it's worth

Make me laugh how people think they have consumer rights in the UK.
A limited company is just that, LIMITED IN LIABILITY, you cannot sue the people running it, just the company assets, what's the value of the assets?

its more faith in the Credit card companies tbh which i am really hoping is not misplaced.
I would certainly not pay with btc at this stage but if things work out in a month or two would maybeeeee consider it.
He said yes so here you are. Sorry for horribad format did not want to dick about with it.

Just received an email from Chris regarding our rights as bitcoinultra customers. Its not exhaustive but its exactly what I was hoping for. This is in a response to a mail I sent over the weekend asking about my rights.
Of course saying something and then doing that are very different things.
I have asked to him if he is happy with me sharing the information in the email and when the go a head is given will post it up.
I also asked about and estimated time frame that we could expect pictures.
Still I think it would serve him far better to come on here and participate as delivering important communications to a customer base should not be by word of mouth in my opinion.
Personally feeling a little more hopeful and will just have to see this develop.

I'm confused, if these are rights every customer has why not put them on the web site?
As to rights, how do they differ from our regular consumer rights as provided by law in the UK and EU?

Unless the plan is to take all these payments, CC, PP or otherwise, wait till the end of the month for the money to come in, then withdraw the funds and scarper.
Yes people are covered by the CC company and PP but the damage will be done to the ability of genuine companies to try and use those payment methods, the more companies rip off the payment processors the higher the fees for the rest of us + another nail in the credibility of Bitcoin.
I hope it works out, I really do, especially for your CYPER.
But I also would be interested in buying from stock like BITMAIN are doing and support a UK company.
I'm just highly suspicious that they changed their tune, all they needed to do was wait till they had the hardware. Its no biggie. I can't think of a single non-shady reason for them not to wait till they had stock before selling.

I think it's likely that Monday morning will provide some clarity to the situation. I expect the weekend may have been used for personal time, working on miners, other and that Monday will be back to business - that's my gut hope anyways.
Was not there some offers from members there to do a road trip for verification purposes? is that still a consideration? I'm willing to donate to some community-respected senior members to take a Truth-Trip, grab some snaps and post said snaps a la forum - Perhaps we can start a "Truth-Trip-Trust" to finance the quintessential query quest to the recluse rurality of Rotherham.

I want to go, but I am in the process of buying a new car as the current one is rubbish (Corsa 1999) and the 3 hour journey would be a nightmare
If I manage to find what I am looking for and decide to go I might take some donations for fuel (around £60 from London return).
I lost 73 btc in gox I have 0.80 left. I am willing to donate if you will go (wont be much) but I'm sure others would chip in also.
Edit: Also good morning Chris might be worth having a little read over this weekends discussions.

I ordered 4 and I have absolutely no worries about losing my money.
And even if there is a longer unreasonable delay or inferior product that does not work as intended then Section 75 will be the answer if the company refuses to cooperate.
After all the bank is equally responsible as the merchant for this sale.
If there was no CC payment, then I wouldn't have ordered.

Yea I know right! I want nothing more than this company to be real and be successful.

NO paypal, BTC, or Amazon payment (whatever that is)....I guess they went over their paypal limit or have been reading this thread
Indeed - note of caution - removal of payment methods is a classic...
So as I understand it people like myself and others here use paypal and Ccards to buy these miners. If scam then who is the target ? If the Paypals been removed and they don't accept btc or anything other than CC then it stands to reason the target is those purchasing with CC.
Or has anyone here been paying over the phone and we don't know about it ?
For me I think you are OK V4Vendettas since you paid CC. The possible scam is that you were a 'test' payer where they accept a few CC/paypal payments, gain feedback and trust, then switch to BTC only payments. You'd be CRAZY to send BTC direct unless they become WELL established.
For you, you have the comfort of being able to phone your credit card company and getting your money back - albeit with a pile of hassle - and no miner.
For others, the risk is that they 'buy in' based on a few success stories and lose their coins. Still could be a legit company, that website is no small effort.
Yea I had considered that an option but as far as I can see they have not accepted btc from anyone ( jump in anyone and tell us if thats not the case) . At this stage it seems like a lot of effort to go to just to abuse the credit card information they have from us. Does not make sense unless I'm missing something.
Ofc if the next step is btc payments come on-line yea don't touch it until the rest of us actually see some hardware.
Well, if it is a simple credit card number grabbing exercise then you are protected from that too by your CC company - by UK law. You'll be able to make a credit card 'charge back' and the recipient will not receive the funds (unless you acted in a 'wreckless' way - which is unlikely and also a bit vague under UK law). Although you are then exposed to the potential of ID theft for other purposes.
Let's see if your miner arrives (and if they change to BTC only payments etc) - I am hoping this company is good to go - no import taxes if so...
