A. PURCHASE OF PRODUCTS

1. Creating the Contract

1.3 After you have submitted your order you will receive an order acknowledgement e-mail from us.

1.4 If you are paying by credit card, we will authorize your debit or credit card payment.

1.5 Once payment has been authorised and we have determined the availability of stock we will arrange for the delivery of the goods to you. Acceptance of your order and the creation of a legally binding contract between us will only occur when we send you a second e-mail which contains the details of how your goods will be delivered to you.

1.6 We reserve the right to decline all or part of any order for whatsoever reason and should this occur we will e-mail you with these details.

1.7 It is recommended that you retain all e-mails relating to your order and contract.

2. Payment

2.1 If you have chosen to pay by card, once your order is received we will process the payment for your order by way of the credit or debit card details you have provided. In the event that there is insufficient stock to satisfy your order you will be informed as soon as possible. A refund will be processed through your chosen credit or debit card used for the payment of the order.

2.2 If your order contains any item with a lead time of more than 2 weeks and you have opted to pay a 50% deposit by card, the balance outstanding must be paid in full on the same card 2 weeks before final delivery is made. As part of the checkout process, you will be requested to confirm that you agree to this. A receipt for the balance payment will be posted to your billing address. We do not operate a ‘cash on delivery’ system.

2.3 We will advise you if your payment details cannot be authorized for any reason and we may then invite you to pay by another method.

2.4 All prices and charges on this website are quoted in UK pounds. The price you pay for your order is that price which is displayed on the website. Prices include VAT unless otherwise stated. Delivery is calculated as part of the checkout process, based on the cost of your order and your delivery address. If we discover an error in the price of goods you have ordered we will inform you as soon as possible and give you an option of reconfirming your order at the correct price, or cancelling the order. If we are unable to contact you we will treat the order as cancelled and you will receive a full refund.

3. Security and Clearing

3.1 All credit and debit card payments that are made on our website are protected by a secure connection. This secure connection ensures that your credit and debit card is encrypted prior to it being transferred to the bank for authorization.

3.2 As an additional security means, no credit or debit card details submitted online are stored directly by us once your order has been processed.
