Your use of our Website and the order or purchase of our Products constitutes your full acceptance of these terms and conditions. If you do not agree with these terms and conditions, you should not use our Website or order or purchase any of our Products. You are advised to print a copy of these terms and conditions for future reference. Our Website is intended for use only by people resident in the European Union and we reserve the right to reject orders or purchases from outside those regions.
2.0 Your Status
By placing an order through our Website, you warrant that:
- you are legally capable of entering into binding contracts;
- you are at least 18 years old;
- you are resident in the European Union; and
- you are accessing our Website from within the European Union.
3.0 Formation of a Contract
After placing an order, you will receive an e-mail from us acknowledging that we have received your order. Please note that this does not mean that your order has been accepted. Your order constitutes an offer to us to buy a Product. All orders are subject to acceptance by us, and we will confirm such acceptance to you by sending you an e-mail that confirms that we have fulfilled your order (the “Acceptance Confirmation”). The contract between you and us (the “Contract”) will be formed only when we send you the Acceptance Confirmation.
The Contract will relate only to those Products confirmed in the Acceptance Confirmation. We will not be obliged to supply any other Products which may have been part of your order until the acceptance of such Products has been confirmed in a separate Acceptance Confirmation.
Any drawings, photographs, descriptions or advertising we issue, and any photographs, descriptions or illustrations contained on our Website, are issued or published solely to provide you with an approximate idea of the Products they describe. They do not form part of the Contract or any other agreement between you and us.
4.0 Consumer Rights
As a European Union customer, you may cancel the Contract at any time within seven working days (the “Cooling-off Period”), beginning on the day after you have received the Products purchased. In such case, you will receive a refund of the price paid for the Products, subject to the following:
- your notification to us in wiriting of the cancellation of the Contract;
- the immediate return of the Products purchased, unused, in exactly the same condition in which you received them, and at your own cost and risk; and
- you understand and accept that you have a legal obligation to take reasonable care of the Products while they are in your possession and that if you fail to comply with this obligation, we may have a right of action against you for compensation.
5.0 Delivery
Your order will be fulfilled by the delivery date set out in the Acceptance Confirmation or, if no delivery date is specified, then within 7 working days of the date of the Acceptance Confirmation, unless there are exceptional circumstances.
Delivery will be made to the address specified in your order, unless you request a change to your delivery address before the order has been dispatched, in which case we reserve the right to apply a charge of £5 to make the change. We are unable to change the delivery address after your order has been dispatched from us.
Orders will be processed within 1 to 2 working days from the Acceptance Confirmation and will be delivered in accordance with your delivery request providing further security checks are not required and all the Products are available.
We are under no obligation to dispatch or deliver any Products until clear funds have been received by us from you.
The Products shall be delivered according to the details provided by you at the time of the Order. You agree that we shall not be held liable for any Products delivered to an incorrect address if such address was provided by you as the delivery address at the time of the order. You agree that any orders delivered to an incorrect address shall be your sole responsibility and risk except where this is a result of our own mistake.
6.0 Risk and Title
The Products will be at your risk from the time of fulfilment onwards. If you order Products from our Website for delivery outside the UK, they may be subject to export/import duties and taxes which are levied when the delivery reaches the specified destination. You agree and accept that you shall be be responsible for payment of any and all such import duties and taxes. You are advised to contact your local customs office for further information before placing your order, as we have no control over such charges and cannot predict their amount.
You must comply with all applicable laws and regulations of the country for which the Products are destined, including if such applicable laws and regulations prevent you from placing your order. We will not be liable for any breach by you of any such laws.
Ownership of the Products will only pass to you when we receive full payment of all sums due in respect of the Products, including delivery charges.
7.0 Price and Payment
The price of any Products will be as quoted on our Website from time to time, except in cases of obvious error.
These prices are not subject to sales tax and exclude delivery costs if any, which will be added to the total amount due at the completion of the checkout process or in exceptional circumstances as part of the Acceptance Confirmation.
Prices are liable to change at any time, but changes will not affect orders in respect of which we have already sent you an Acceptance Confirmation.
Our Website contains a range of Products and it is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the Products listed on our Website may be incorrectly priced. We will normally verify prices as part of our dispatch procedures so that, where a Product’s correct price is less than our stated price, we will charge the lower amount when dispatching the Product to you. If a Product’s correct price is higher than the price stated on our Website, we will normally, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before dispatching the Product, or reject your order and notify you of such rejection
We are under no obligation to provide the Product to you at the incorrect (lower) price, even after we have sent you a Acceptance Confirmation, if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as a mis-pricing.
Payment for all Products must be by credit, debit card or Paypal. No payment shall be deemed to have been received until we have received cleared funds. Please be aware that if you are using Paypal as your payment method we reserve the right to not ship to unconfirmed addresses.
Your credit or debit card details will be encrypted by our payment processor to minimise the possibility of unauthorised access or disclosure. Authority for payment must be given at the time of order. If there is a problem taking payment for all or part of your order, we may contact you by telephone or e-mail.

- because you have cancelled the Contract between us within the Cooling-off Period period, we will process the refund due to you as soon as possible and at the latest within 30 days from the day that you provide to us written notice of your cancellation. In this case, we will refund the price of the Product in full, including the cost of sending the item to you. However, you will be responsible for the cost of returning the item to us. We recommend that all items are returned via a recorded delivery method, as we will not be liable for any damage or loss whilst in transit;
- for any other reason (for instance because you claim that the Product is defective), we will examine the returned Product and contact you via e-mail as soon as possible to arrange a refund or redelivery.

If you elect a refund of a Product returned by you because of a defect it will be refunded, including a refund of the the cost of returning the defective Product to us (up to a maximum of £1.00). If you elect a replacement of a defective Product we will not charge you for redelivery of the replacement Product and we will refund the cost of returning the defective Product to us (up to a maximum of £1.00). In either case the cost of returning the defective Product to us will be refunded only upon our receipt of proof of costs incurred by you.
