The Contract

After submitting an order to us we will pass you over to our trusted payment-processing partner (GlobalCollect Services BV) to allow you to provide your payment details in the most secure environment.

NB. At no point do we store your credit/debit card details on our own computer systems.

Any notification e-mails are acknowledgments, not acceptance of your order.

No contract for the sale of any product will subsist between you and us until we dispatch the product(s) ordered. We will confirm that the product(s) have been dispatched by a confirmation e mail. This confirmation e mail amounts to an acceptance by us of your offer to buy goods from our company.

We may decline all or part of your order for any reason, in which case we will email to tell you so.

We will tell you if your payment details cannot be authorised for any reason and may invite you to pay by another method.

Prices , Payment and Processing of Orders

All prices and charges on this site are shown in UK pounds sterling. They include any VAT payable, but exclude delivery charges (for details see ‘Delivery’ below).

The total cost of your order will be the price of the products you order, plus the applicable delivery charge. All these will be set out clearly in your Shopping Basket before you submit your order.

If you order products from our site for delivery outside the UK ,they may be subject to import duties and taxes which are levied when the delivery reaches your specified destination. We have no control over such charges and cannot advise on the likely amount you could be charged. We advise you to check your local customs office for further information before placing your order.

We try very hard to ensure that all information on this site is accurate. However, occasionally, an error can occur. If we discover an error in the price, description, or quantity available of a product you have ordered, we will contact you and will offer an alternative product, a full refund or the original product subject to the newly revised price, description and or amended quantity.

We accept payment by MasterCard, Visa, Delta, Switch, Electron, Solo, Amex and other debit cards. Payment is deducted when our partner payment provider processes your order.
