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 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.

Remember to check your spam/junk email box, the email may be inadvertently directed there.
If we are unable to fulfil your order, we will inform you of this 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 or because we are unable to meet a delivery deadline you have specified.

All Products ordered by you will become your responsibility from the time they are delivered to the address you provided to us.
Title and ownership of the Products will pass to you once payment has been received in full.

a) we have refused to deliver the Products;
b) you told us before we accepted your order that delivery within the delivery deadline was essential.
If you do not wish to treat the contract as at an end straight away, we will specify a new deadline for delivery of the Products within 14 days from the previous deadline.
If you do choose to treat the contract as at an end for late delivery, you must cancel your order by contacting Customer Services using one of the methods as stated above and rejecting any Products delivered. After the Products have been returned and your cancellation has been acknowledged, we will arrange for any sums paid by you to be refunded.

We will make any refunds due to you as soon as possible. If you are exercising your right to change your mind, then:
a) Your refund will be made within 14 days from the day on which we receive the Product back from you or, if earlier, the day on which you provide us with evidence that you have sent the Product back to us; or
