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 Goods have been dispatched (Dispatch Confirmation).

If we are unable to dispatch the Goods to you within 30 days of receipt of your order, or if the price of the Goods changes before the end of the period of 30 days from the date on which we receive your order, we will contact you to let you know the new price. You will then have the option to either cancel your order in accordance with clause 4 or inform us that you wish to continue with the purchase at the new price.

3.2 If, when we receive your order, we are unable to fulfil it (for reasons such as lack of stock), we will contact you to let you know and we will offer you a choice of a refund or a substitute item. If we are able to offer a substitute and you inform us that you are happy to proceed with your purchase of the substitute but you subsequently cancel the Contract under clause 4, we will meet the cost of returning the Goods by the same method by which it was delivered.

3.3 The Contract will relate only to those Goods whose dispatch we have confirmed in the Dispatch Confirmation. We do not have to supply any other Goods which may have been part of your order unless and until the dispatch of such Goods has been confirmed in a separate Dispatch Confirmation.

We will normally verify prices as part of our dispatch procedures so that, where a Goods correct price is less than our stated price, we will charge the lower amount when dispatching the Goods to you. If a Goods correct price is higher than the price stated on our site, we will normally, at our discretion, either contact you to see what you want to do before dispatching the Goods, or reject your order and notify you of such rejection.
