9. How a contract is formed between you and the Company
9.1. After placing an order on the Website, you will receive an e-mail from the Company acknowledging that it has received your order.

The contract between the Company and you ("Contract") will only be formed when the Company sends you the Dispatch Confirmation.
9.2. The Contract will relate only to those Goods whose dispatch the Company has confirmed in the Dispatch Confirmation. The Company will not be obliged to supply any other Goods which may have been part of your order until the dispatch of such Goods has been confirmed in a separate Dispatch Confirmation.
10. Company's status
10.1. Please note that in some cases, the Company accepts orders as agents on behalf of third party sellers. The resulting legal contract is between you and that third party seller, and is subject to the terms and conditions of that third party seller, which they will advise you of directly. You should carefully review their terms and conditions applying to the transaction.
10.2. The Company may also provide links on the Website to the websites of other companies, whether affiliated with the Company or not.

This DISCLAIMER does not affect your statutory rights against the third party seller. The Company will notify you when a third party is involved in a transaction, and the Company may disclose your customer information related to that transaction to the third party seller.
11. Consumer rights
11.1. If you are contracting as a consumer, you may cancel a Contract at any time within 14 working days, beginning on the day after you received the Goods. In this case, you will receive a full refund of the price paid for the Goods in accordance with the Company refund policy
11.2. To cancel a Contract, you must inform the Company in writing, or by email. Please complete the contact form on the Contact Us page selecting Order Enquiry from the drop down selection. You must also return the Goods to the Company immediately, in the same condition in which you received them, and at your own cost and risk. You have a legal obligation to take reasonable care of the Goods while they are in your possession. If you fail to comply with this obligation, the Company may have a right of action against you for compensation.
11.3. You will not have any right to cancel a Contract for the supply of goods if you are a commercial organisation (as opposed to a domestic consumer) and you have entered into a specifically worded commercial contract.

14.2. These prices include VAT but exclude delivery costs, which will be added to the total amount due as set out in the Delivery Charges
14.3. Prices are liable to change at any time, but changes will not affect orders in respect of which the Company has already sent you a Dispatch Confirmation.
14.4. The Website contains a large number of Goods and it is always possible that, despite the Company's best efforts, some of the Goods listed on the Website may be incorrectly priced. The Company will normally verify prices as part of its dispatch procedures so that, where the correct price of the Goods is less than the price stated on the Website, the Company will charge the lower amount when dispatching the Goods to you. If the correct price of the Goods is higher than the price stated on the Website, the Company will normally, at its discretion, either contact you for instructions before dispatching the Goods, or reject your order and notify you of such rejection.
14.5. The Company is under no obligation to provide the Goods to you at the incorrect (lower) price, even after it has sent you a Dispatch Confirmation, if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as a mis-pricing.
14.6. Payment for all Goods must be by credit or debit card. The Company accepts payment with UK Bank Debit Cards, Visa, Mastercard, Maestro, Solo and American Express.
15. Company's refund policy
15.1. When you return Goods to the Company:
(a) Because you have cancelled the Contract with the Company within the seven-day cooling-off period as set out in clause 11.1 above, the Company will process the refund due to you as soon as possible and, in any case, within 30 days of the day you have given notice of your cancellation. In this case, the Company will refund the price of the Goods in full, including the cost of sending the item(s) to you. However, you will be responsible for the cost of returning the item(s) to the Company.
(b) For any other reason, the Company will examine the returned Goods and will notify you of your refund via e-mail within a reasonable period of time.

Goods returned by you because of a defect will be refunded in full, including a refund of the delivery charges for sending the item to you and the cost incurred by you in returning the item to the Company.
