All orders are subject to acceptance by the Company, and the Company will confirm such acceptance to the Customer by sending the Customer an e-mail dispatch confirmation verifying that the Goods have been dispatched. The Contract between the Customer and the Company will only be formed when the Company sends the Customer the dispatch confirmation.

14.7 The Contract will relate only to those Goods whose dispatch the Company has verified in the dispatch confirmation.

14.18 All prices and charges shown on the sites are in UK pounds sterling, which is the currency in which the Customer will be billed; any other currency displayed on the sites is for comparison only. If the Customer purchases the Goods from outside the United Kingdom, currency fluctuations and credit card charges may make a difference to the amount billed to the Customer’s credit or debit card.

14.19 Prices are liable to change at any time, but changes will not affect orders in respect of which the Company has already sent the Customer a dispatch confirmation.

14.20 The sites contain a large number of Goods and it is always possible that, despite the Company’s best efforts, some of the Goods listed on the sites may be incorrectly priced. The Company will normally verify prices as part of the Company’s dispatch procedures so that, where the correct price of the Goods is less than the Company’s stated price, the Company will charge the lower amount when dispatching the Goods to the Customer. If the correct price of the Goods is higher than the price stated on the sites, the Company will normally, at the Company’s discretion, either contact the Customer for instructions before dispatching the Goods, or reject the Customer’s order and notify the Customer of such rejection.

14.21 The Company is under no obligation to provide the Goods to the Customer at the incorrect (lower) price, even after the Company has sent the Customer a dispatch confirmation, if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could have reasonably been recognised by the Customer as a mispricing.

14.22 Unless the Customer has an approved trade account with the Company, payment in full for all Goods is required at point of sale. Goods will not be dispatched until full payment has been received; this will not be deemed to have occurred until the credit or debit card used by the Customer to make payment has been verified, or the Company has received the Customer’s bank transfer. The Company accepts payment by credit or debit card with Visa, Maestro and MasterCard and accepts payment via PayPal.

14.23 Subject to the rights of any Customer who contracts with the Company as a consumer (see clauses 14.24-14.32 below) no cancellation, suspension or variation of the Contract requested by the Customer shall be valid unless agreed with the Company in writing and such agreement will only be given, subject to adequate compensation or expenses incurred in connection with the Contract and for any loss of profit. In addition to the above compensation, the Company may impose a cancellation, restocking and administrative charge at its discretion.

14.24 A Customer shall be deemed to be placing their order for Goods from the Company as a consumer if the Customer is not acting for the purposes of their business, trade or profession in purchasing Goods from the Company. All other Customers shall be deemed to be business customers.

14.25 A consumer may cancel a Contract entered into with the Company through the sites (without giving any reason for cancellation) at any time within the period: (a) beginning upon the submission of the Customer’s offer; and (b) ending at the end of 14 days after the day on which the Goods come into the Customer’s physical possession or the physical possession of a person identified by the Customer to take possession of them (or, if the Contract is for delivery of multiple Goods, lots or pieces of something, 14 days after the day on which the last of those Goods, lots or pieces comes into the Customer’s physical possession or the physical possession of a person identified by the Customer to take possession of them).

14.26 In order to cancel a Contract on the basis described in clause 14.25, the Customer must inform the Company of the Customer’s decision to cancel. The Customer may inform the Company by means of any clear statement setting out the decision. The Customer may inform the Company using the cancellation form that the Company will make available to the Customer. To meet the cancellation deadline, it is sufficient for the Customer to send the Customer’s communication concerning the exercise of the right to cancel before the cancellation period has expired.

14.27 The Customer must send the Goods back to the Company or hand them over to the Company or a person authorised by the Company to receive them. The Customer must comply with the Customer’s obligations referred to in this clause 14.27 without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days after the day on which the Customer informs the Company of the Customer’s decision to cancel the Contract. The Customer must pay the direct cost of returning the Goods.

14.28 If the Customer cancels a Contract on the basis described in clause 14.25, the Customer will receive a full refund of the amount the Customer paid to the Company in respect of the order including the costs of delivery to the Customer.

14.29 If the value of the Goods returned by the Customer is diminished by any amount as a result of the handling of those Goods by the Customer beyond what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the Goods, the Company may recover that amount from the Customer up to the Contract price. The Company may recover that amount by deducting it from any refund due to the Customer or require the Customer to pay that amount direct to the Company. Handling which goes beyond the sort of handling that might reasonably be allowed in a store will be "beyond what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the Goods" for these purposes.

14.30 Unless the Company has offered to collect the Goods, the Company will process a refund due to the Customer as a result of a cancellation on the basis described in clause 14.25 within the period of 14 days after the day on which the Company receives the returned Goods or (if earlier) after the day on which the Customer supplies to the Company evidence of having sent the Goods back. If the Company has not sent the Goods to the Customer at the time of cancellation or has offered to collect the Goods, the Company will process a refund due to the Customer without undue delay and, in any case, within the period of 14 days after the day on which the Company is informed of the cancellation.

14.31 The cancellation right described in clause 14.25 is in addition to any other right that the Customer might have to reject the Goods, for instance because they are faulty or defective.

14.32 The Customer will not have the right to cancel a Contract on the basis described in clause

14.25 in respect of any special order, custom made or customised Goods.

14.33 Subject to the rights of any Customer who contracts with the Company as a consumer (see clauses 14.24-14.32 above) any Goods returned to the Company by the Customer will be examined by the Company and the Customer will be notified via e-mail within a reasonable time of any refund to which the Customer is entitled. The Company will usually process the refund as soon as possible thereafter. Goods may not be returned without prior notification and an order number must be obtained from the Company prior to returning the Goods. A restocking charge will be payable on each order which will be outlined in full to any Customer wishing to make a return. Any special order/custom made Goods may not be returned unless the Goods are found to be damaged and/or faulty. The return of goods is entirely at the Company’s discretion.

14.34 The Company will normally refund any money received from the Customer using the same method originally used by the Customer to pay for the Customer’s purchase.

16.6 Any dispute arising under or in connection with the Contract shall be referred to arbitration by a single arbitrator appointed by agreement or (in default) nominated on the application by either party to the President for the time being of the Law Society whose decision as to the type, qualifications and experience of such arbitrator shall be final and binding on the parties.

16.7 The costs of the arbitrator shall be borne by the parties as he directs and his decision on the issue in dispute shall be final.
