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 dispatch 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.

Availability and Delivery

• Your order will be delivered as quickly as possible. Please see our delivery & returns page for more detailed information.

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.

Price and Payment

• The price of any products will be as quoted on our site, except in cases of obvious error
• 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 email.
• 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 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.
