OUR CONTRACT WITH YOU
3.1
How we will accept your order. Your order is an offer to us to buy the products in your order. Once you have placed an order to purchase products from us, we will send you a message confirming receipt of your order and containing the details of your order (the "Order Confirmation"). The Order Confirmation is acknowledgement that we have received your order, and does not confirm acceptance of your offer to buy the products. Our acceptance of your order will take place when we dispatch the products to you and send you an email confirming that we have dispatched the products to you, at which point a contract will come into existence between you and us.
3.2
If we cannot accept your order. If we are unable to accept your order, we will inform you of this in writing or by phone and will not charge you for the product. This might be because the product is out of stock, because of unexpected limits on our resources which we could not reasonably plan for, because we have identified an error in the price or description of the product.
3.3
Your order number. We will assign an order number to your order and tell you what it is when we accept your order. It will help us if you can tell us the order number whenever you contact us about your order.
3.4
We only sell to the UK. Our website is solely for the promotion of our products in the UK. Unfortunately, we do not accept orders from and/or deliver to addresses outside of the UK.

YOUR RIGHTS TO END THE CONTRACT
8.1
Ending your contract with us. Your rights when you end the contract will depend on what you have bought, whether there is anything wrong with it, how we are performing and when you decide to end the contract:

If what you have bought is faulty or misdescribed you may have a legal right to end the contract (or to get the product repaired or replaced or to get some or all of your money back), see clause 11;
8.1.2
If you want to end the contract because of something we have done or have told you we are going to do, see clause 8.2;
8.1.3
If you have just changed your mind about the product, see clauses 8.3 and 8.4. You may be able to get a refund if you are within the cooling-off period, but this may be subject to deductions and you will have to pay the costs of return of any goods.
8.2
Ending the contract because of something we have done or are going to do. If you are ending a contract for a reason set out at clauses 8.2.1 to 8.2.4 below the contract will end immediately and we will refund you in full for any products which have not been provided . The reasons are:
8.2.1
we have told you about an error in the price or description of the product you have ordered and you do not wish to proceed;
8.2.2
there is a risk that supply of the products may be significantly delayed because of events outside our control;
8.2.3
we have suspended supply of the products for technical reasons, or notify you we are going to suspend them for technical reasons, in each case for a period of more than 1 month; or

How long do I have to change my mind? For most products bought online you have a legal right, under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, to change your mind within 14 days and receive a refund. Our return period is more generous than your legal rights under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, and you have 30 days after the day you (or someone you nominate) receives the products.

PRICE AND PAYMENT
12.1
Where to find the price for the product. The price of the product (which includes VAT) will be the price indicated on the order pages when you placed your order. We take all reasonable care to ensure that the price of the product advised to you is correct. However please see clause 12.3 for what happens if we discover an error in the price of the product you order.
12.2
We will pass on changes in the rate of VAT. If the rate of VAT changes between your order date and the date we supply the product, we will adjust the rate of VAT that you pay, unless you have already paid for the product in full before the change in the rate of VAT takes effect.
12.3
What happens if we got the price wrong. It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the products we sell may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices before accepting your order so that, where the product's correct price at your order date is less than our stated price at your order date, we will charge the lower amount. If the product's correct price at your order date is higher than the price stated to you, we will contact you for your instructions before we accept your order. If we accept and process your order where a pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could reasonably have been recognised by you as a mispricing, we may end the contract, refund you any sums you have paid and require the return of any goods provided to you.
12.4
When you must pay and how you must pay. We accept payment with Visa, Visa Debit, Mastercard, Amex and Discover. You must pay for the products before we dispatch them.

OUR RESPONSIBILITY FOR LOSS OR DAMAGE SUFFERED BY YOU
13.1
We are responsible to you for foreseeable loss and damage caused by us. If we fail to comply with these terms, we are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breaking this contract or our failing to use reasonable care and skill, but we are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable. Loss or damage is foreseeable if either it is obvious that it will happen or if, at the time the contract was made, both we and you knew it might happen, for example, if you discussed it with us during the sales process.
13.2
We do not exclude or limit in any way our liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so. This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors; for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; for breach of your legal rights in relation to the products including the right to receive products which are: as described and match information we provided to you; of satisfactory quality; fit for any particular purpose made known to us; and for defective products under the Consumer Protection Act 1987.
13.3
We are not liable for business losses. We only supply the products for domestic and private use. If you use the products for any commercial, business or re-sale purpose we will have no liability to you for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity.

OTHER IMPORTANT TERMS

15.5
Even if we delay in enforcing this contract, we can still enforce it later. If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking this contract, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date. For example, if you miss a payment and we do not chase you but we continue to provide the products, we can still require you to make the payment at a later date.
