You acknowledge and agree that we do not promise that our products will be precisely in accordance with such guidance and without any variation at all. While we endeavour to ensure that our guidance is helpful and accurate there are many factors, such as minor changes in stock, ongoing product development and even your own computer or other monitor technology that mean that actual products may vary slightly from the illustrations, photographs, weights, dimensions and/or descriptions on the Website.
9. ORDER PROCESS
-
9.1 You must be over 18 to place an order via the Website or by phone or instore.
-
9.2 You may place an order using the Website or by phone or instore. Your order constitutes a binding offer by you to purchase the product(s) ordered from us but is not binding on us until we have formally accepted it in accordance with Clause 9.6 below.
-
9.3 If you place an order, we will in the first instance acknowledge receipt of your order. However, this initial acknowledgement is not an acceptance.
-
9.4 Before we formally accept your order, we will check if we have the product(s) in stock and if you have cleared funds to make payment.
-
9.5 We will then take payment from you by processing your debit or credit card, or by other form of electronic transfer, using the payment information you provided when you placed your order. Once we are in receipt of cleared funds and we have confirmed stock availability, and have otherwise confirmed that the transaction details (including but not limited to the description and price of the goods) are correct in every respect, we will arrange for the delivery of the products to the address you have indicated.
-
9.6 We will proceed to formally accept your order either by delivering the products, or by first sending you a communication in which we will confirm that the products have been dispatched and we will provide you also with an estimated date and/or time of delivery. The contract for the sale of goods becomes binding on us upon the point of this formal acceptance.
-
9.7 Communications such as the acknowledgement of your order (referred to in Clause 9.3 above) or the confirmation of product dispatch (referred to in Clause 9.6 above) will normally be sent by email, to the email address that you provided to us when you placed your order. If you ordered by phone or instore and do not have an email address, we will send these communications by post instead. In some cases, we may need to phone you to confirm details of the delivery arrangements.
-
9.8 We will take all reasonable care, in so far as it is in our power to do so, to keep the details of your order and payment secure, but in the absence of negligence on our part we cannot be held liable for any loss you may suffer if a third party procures unauthorised access to any data you provide when accessing or ordering from the Website.
10. PRICES
-
10.1 The prices payable for products are shown on the Website and will be discussed with you if you place an order by phone or instore. We may make an additional charge for delivery costs and this will be shown separately in the checkout section of the Website or discussed with you if you place an order by phone or instore, before you submit your payment information.

On the product pages of the Website, the product prices are exclusive of any delivery charges, which are added, inclusive of VAT, in the shopping basket and check out section of the Website.

10.3 If you qualify for, and wish to take advantage of, a VAT exemption, you will need to submit some additional information to us. Please contact us using the information available on the Contact Us page on our Website. Please note that the initial payment will be taken inclusive of VAT. Only upon receipt of the additional information that we will request will a VAT credit be applied to your account and if due, a refund will be issued within 30 days.
