6.2 Our order process allows you to check and amend any errors before submitting your order to us. Please take the time to read and check your order at each page of the order process.

6.3 Your order constitutes an offer to us to buy a Product. All orders are subject to acceptance by us.

If you opt to cancel, you will have to return (at your cost) any relevant Products you have already received and we will arrange a full refund of the price you have paid, including any delivery charges.

8. Delivery

8.1 Any dates quoted for delivery are approximate only, and the time of delivery is not of the essence. We will not be liable for delay of the delivery of your Products that is caused by a Force Majeure Event, your failure to provide us with adequate delivery instructions or any delays in manufacturing and despatch that are relevant to the supply of the Products.

8.2 Delivery of an order shall be completed when we deliver the Products to the address you gave us within your order and the Products will be your responsibility from that time.

To check relevant delivery charges, please refer to our Delivery Policy. We may not be able to offer all delivery options in all address in the United Kingdom.

9.3 Prices for our Products may change from time to time, but changes will not affect any order in respect of which we have already sent you an Order Confirmation.

9.4 Our site contains a large number of Products. It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the Products on our site may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check 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.

9.5 We are under no obligation to provide a Product to you at the incorrect (lower) price, even after we have sent you an Order Confirmation, if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as a mis-pricing.

10. Payment
