You are at least 18 years old;
3. HOW THE CONTRACT IS FORMED BETWEEN YOU AND US
After placing an order, you will receive an e-mail from us acknowledging that we have received your order. Please note that this does not mean that your order has been accepted. Your order constitutes an offer to us to buy a Product. All orders are subject to acceptance by us, and we will confirm such acceptance to you by sending you an e-mail that confirms that the Product has been Despatched (the Despatch Confirmation). The contract between us (Contract) will only be formed when we send you the Despatch Confirmation.
The Contract will relate only to those Products whose Despatch we have confirmed in the Despatch Confirmation. We will not be obliged to supply any other Products which may have been part of your order until the despatch of such Products has been confirmed in a separate Despatch Confirmation.
4. CONSUMER RIGHTS
If you are contracting as a consumer, you may cancel a Contract at any time within seven working days, beginning on the day after you received the Products. In this case, you will receive a full refund of the price paid for the Products in accordance with our refunds policy (set out in clause 10).
To cancel a Contract, you must inform us in writing. You must also return the Product(s) to us immediately, in the same condition in which you received them, and at your own cost and risk and accompanied by the relevant Purchase Invoice. You have a legal obligation to take reasonable care of the Products while they are in your possession. If you fail to comply with this obligation, we may have a right of action against you for compensation.
Details of this statutory right, and an explanation of how to exercise it, are provided in the Despatch Confirmation. This provision does not affect your statutory rights.
5. AVAILABILITY AND DELIVERY
Your order will be fulfilled by the delivery date set out in the Despatch Confirmation or, if no delivery date is specified, then within a reasonable time of the date of the Despatch Confirmation, unless there are exceptional circumstances.
6. RISK AND TITLE
The Products will be at your risk from the time of delivery.
Ownership of the Products will only pass to you when we receive full payment of all sums due in respect of the Products, including delivery charges.
7. PRICE AND PAYMENT
The price of any Products will be as quoted on our site from time to time, except in cases of obvious error.
These prices include VAT but exclude delivery costs, which will be added to the total amount due as set out at the time of ordering the Products.
Prices are liable to change at any time, but changes will not affect orders in respect of which we have already sent you a Despatch Confirmation.
Our site contains a large number of Products and it is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the Products listed on our site may be incorrectly priced. We will normally verify prices as part of our Despatch procedures so that, where a Product's correct price is less than our stated price, we will charge the lower amount when Despatching the Product to you. If a Products correct price is higher than the price stated on our site, we will normally, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before Despatching the Product, or reject your order and notify you of such rejection.
We are under no obligation to provide the Product to you at the incorrect (lower) price, even after we have sent you a Despatch Confirmation, if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as a mis-pricing.
Payment for all Products must be by credit or debit card. We accept payment with:
Visa;
Mastercard;
Sage Pay, PayPal
American Express
We will not charge your credit or debit card until we despatch your order.
