3.
How the contract is formed between you
3.1
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 dispatched (the Dispatch Confirmation).
The contract between us (Contract)
will only be formed when we send you the Dispatch Confirmation.
3.2
The Contract will relate only to those Products whose dispatch we
have confirmed in the Dispatch Confirmation.
We will not be obliged to supply any other Products which may have been
part of your order until the dispatch of such Products has been confirmed in a
separate Dispatch Confirmation.
4.1
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 below).
4.2
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.
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.
4.3
Details of this statutory right, and an explanation of how to
exercise it, are provided in the Dispatch Confirmation.
This provision does not affect your statutory rights.
5.
Availability
Your order will be fulfilled by the delivery date set out in the Dispatch
Confirmation or, if no delivery date is specified, then within a reasonable time
of the date of the Dispatch Confirmation, unless there are exceptional
circumstances.
6.
Risk
6.1
The Products will be at your risk from the time of delivery.
6.2
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
7.1
The price of any Products will be as quoted on our site from time
to time, except in cases of obvious error.
7.2 These prices include VAT and also include delivery costs, unless otherwise stated. For information on delivery charges for delivery outside the UK, please refer to our Site Delivery Guide.
7.3
Prices are liable to change at any time, but changes will not
affect orders in respect of which we have already sent you a Dispatch
Confirmation.
7.4
It is 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 dispatch procedures so
that, where a Product's correct price is less than our stated price, we will
charge the lower amount when dispatching the Product to you.
If a Product's correct price is higher than the price stated on our site,
we will normally, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before
dispatching 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 Dispatch Confirmation, if the pricing error
is obvious and unmistakeable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as
a mis-pricing.
7.5
Payment for all Products must be by credit or debit card.
8.1

(a)
because you have cancelled the Contract between us within the
seven-day cooling-off period (see clause 6.1 above), we will process the refund
due to you as soon as possible and, in any case, within 30 days of the day you
have given notice of your cancellation. In this case, we will refund the price
of the Product in full, including the cost of sending the item to you.
However, you will be responsible for the cost of returning the item to
us.
(b)
for any other reason (for instance, because have notified us in
accordance with paragraph 20 that you do not agree to any change in these terms
and conditions or in any of our policies, or because you claim that the Product
is defective), we will examine the returned Product and will notify you of your
refund via e-mail within a reasonable period of time.
We will usually process the refund due to you as soon as possible and, in
any case, within 30 days of the day we confirmed to you via e-mail that you

because of a defect will be refunded in full, including a refund of the delivery

If we fail, at any time during the term of a Contract, to insist
upon strict performance of any of your obligations under the Contract or any of
these terms and conditions, or if we fail to exercise any of the rights or
remedies to which we are entitled under the Contract, this shall not constitute
a waiver of such rights or remedies and shall not relieve you from compliance
with such obligations.

subsequent default.

If any of these terms and Conditions or any provisions of a Contract are

governmental authority (in which case it will apply to orders previously placed
by you), or if we notify you of the change to those policies or these terms and
