If you are not a consumer, you warrant that by making an order you have authority to bind any business on whose behalf you purchase Products.

After you place an order online, you will receive an e-mail from Us acknowledging that We have received and despatched your order.

If We grant you a trade account you warrant that you are a business or charity and not a consumer and that all purchase orders raised by you to purchase the Products from Us are made in accordance with these Terms.  If you have a trade account then your order acknowledges that this constitutes an offer to purchase the Products from Us.  A Contract shall not be concluded between you and Us until such time as We have delivered the Products to you.

If you place an order over the phone We will confirm the details and confirm Our acceptance to you at which point you agree and acknowledge that a Contract will be formed between you and Us.

If you place an order by mail then a contract will exist when we deliver your order to you.

If you specifically request so over the phone or if you place an order via Our Site We will confirm Our acceptance of your order to you by sending you an e-mail that confirms the details of the order, the amount paid, any right you have to cancel your order (as described in the Cancellations and Returns sections below) and estimated delivery time at which point a Contract will be formed between you and Us.

The price of a Product includes VAT (where applicable) at the applicable current rate chargeable in the UK for the time being.

There are a large number of items for sale on Our Website and We use our best efforts to ensure that the prices of the Products are correct at the time when the relevant information was entered onto the system. It is always possible that, despite Our best efforts, some of the Products on Our Site may be incorrectly priced.
