At any point up until then we may decline to supply an item to you. If we decline to supply an item to you and you have already paid for it, we will give you a full refund of any amount already paid for that item.

If we decline your order for any reason we will normally e-mail or telephone you to inform you, and give you our reasons. We will not accept any order until we have received pre-payment in full of the price, delivery charges, VAT and other amounts payable in respect of the order. Other reasons for us declining an order may include that the price-, offer-, or product has changed or because any of the goods you have ordered are not available.

We will not be responsible for variations between the description of the goods on our web site and the manufacturer's specifications, and the latter shall prevail. We will also not be responsible for minor variations in specification, colour or other design features, and no such minor variation shall entitle you to rescind the contract, reject the goods or be the subject of any claim against us.

You agree to pay the price, delivery charges and any other charges stated in the ordering web pages, in accordance with the terms of the contract. The price, delivery charges and all other amounts payable under the contract are inclusive of value added tax which we may charge in addition at the rate applicable from time to time and which shall be payable at the same time as the amount on which it is charged.
Customers requiring delivery to countries outside the UK may be liable for payment of duties and/or taxes levied by their country’s Customs authorities when goods ordered from us arrive in their country. Any and all such duties and taxes are the responsibility of the customer, and in placing an order with us you acknowledge that you accept full responsibility for making any such payments that may be required by the relevant authorities in your country in order for them to release the goods to you.
9. PAYMENT TERMS
9.1 Payment With Order
Payment of the price, delivery charges, and all other fees and amounts must be made with your order.
9.2 Payment Methods
We accept payment by MasterCard and Visa, and such other cards or payment methods as may be stated on our web site from time to time. Payment is deducted when we process your order, if payment is due with order. If your payment cannot be authorised or cleared for any reason we will tell you.
10. DELIVERY
10.1 Delivery Address
Delivery will be to the delivery address selected or provided by you in the ordering web pages. If no address was selected, then delivery will be to the address at which your payment card is registered, or to any other address you have provided.
10.2 Delivery Method
Items are delivered by Royal Mail or Courier service. Courier items are only delivered on working days, being Monday to Friday, excluding public and bank holidays, between 8am and 6pm. Any statements as to delivery within a number of days should be read as working days, and if a bank or other public holiday falls within any delivery period then you should allow an extra two working days for delivery. If you order after 12.00 p.m., please calculate your delivery time as if your order had been placed the following working day.
10.3 Delivery Timescales
Delivery dates and times are given as advice only and may vary due to circumstances beyond our control. We regret that we can’t accept orders where time is of the essence.
10.4 Failure to Receive the Goods
If delivery is attempted within our stated delivery hours and you are not present to collect the goods, our carrier will leave a card asking you to contact them to arrange for collection or redelivery thereof. If you do not contact them within a reasonable time, the goods will be returned to us. You will then have the option of cancelling the order and receiving a refund, or having the goods sent out again, for which a second delivery charge will be payable.
10.5 Proof of Delivery
All deliveries must be signed for before our carrier will release them to you. Signing for delivery is for simple proof of receipt purposes and will not affect any of your other rights. Please make sure you keep the paperwork enclosed with your goods, as this will be important if you are returning the goods later on.
10.6 Inspection on delivery
When you receive the goods you should immediately inspect them for damage and faults, and you should inform us in writing by end of the following working day if you do not consider that you have received the goods you ordered or if you consider that the goods are faulty or damaged, otherwise we will consider them to have been correctly delivered, free from damage or faults and in good working order. This will be without prejudice to any damage or fault you could not have discovered on reasonable inspection of the goods.
10.7 Risk
Risk in the goods shall pass to you on delivery.
10.8 Retention of Title
Title to the goods passes to you on delivery, unless the price or any other amount payable by you is outstanding at delivery, in which case title is retained by us until you have paid in full the price and all other amounts payable under the contract. You agree that we may still sue for the price, notwithstanding that title has not passed. You also agree that your right to possession and use of the goods shall cease if any amount payable by you under the contract becomes overdue, or you enter into liquidation or administration, and that we shall be entitled to enter any premises where the goods are kept for the purposes of repossessing them.
11. CANCELLATION RIGHT
11.1 Your right to cancel
You have the right to cancel this contract without giving any reason within 14 calendar days from the date on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you, acquires physical possession of the goods.

We may make a deduction from the refund for loss in value of any goods supplied if this loss is as a result of unnecessary handling by you. Please note that refunds cannot be made for items that have been damaged due to customer abuse/misuse or modified in any way.
We will make the refund to you without undue delay, and not later than 14 calendar days after the day we receive back from you any goods supplied, or (if earlier) 14 calendar days after the date on which you provide evidence that you have returned the goods. We will make the refund using the same means of payment you used for the initial transaction, and you will not incur any fees as a result of the refund.
