2. Order acknowledgement
All products advertised on this website are simply an invitation to you to either make further enquiries to us or to make an offer to purchase products from us.
By placing an order you are offering to purchase a product on and subject to the following terms and conditions. All orders are subject to approval, product availability and confirmation of the order price (please see condition 3 below).
When you have placed an order we will send you an email confirming receipt of your order. It will confirm our contact details, the products requested, the total cost (including VAT if applicable and delivery expenses), delivery and invoice details, the existence of your statutory right of cancellation (Please see condition 4. below) and details on our after-sales services and guarantees.
The email is only an acknowledgement of your order and does not constitute acceptance or confirmation of your order. If after successfully placing your order, for whatever reason we cannot process it, we will email you to inform you of this and, if possible, offer an explanation. Non-acceptance of an order may be a result of one of the following:
- The product you ordered being subsequently found to be unavailable from stock;
- Our inability to obtain authorisation for your payment;
- The identification of a pricing or product description error;
- You not meeting the eligibility to order criteria, set out within these terms and conditions.
3. Order acceptance
Acceptance of your offer to purchase products only takes place when your order is processed by us and not before. You will be charged when you place the order and we will commence processing your order for despatch. This stage is confirmed by us sending you an email to confirm that your order has been accepted is being processed for despatch. Only those goods listed in the confirmation email sent at the time of despatch will be included in the contract formed. We will endeavour to carry out this contract within 30 days of confirmation of your order. If we are unable to do this we will inform you in writing and offer an explanation.
4. Order cancellation
If you wish to cancel your order you can do so by confirming to us in writing that you wish to cancel your order. This can be by email or post. Your right to cancel an order ends seven working days after the day on which you sign to accept delivery of your order. If you cancel your order within this time we will reimburse you the cost of post and packaging for returning your order. We will refund a cancelled order within thirty days of receiving notification, in writing, of your wish to cancel.
5. Telephone orders
The same terms and conditions apply if you place an order over the telephone with us. You will receive from us a written receipt of your order. It will confirm our contact details, the products requested, the total cost (including VAT and delivery expenses), delivery and invoice details, the existence of your statutory right of cancellation (please see Condition 4. Above) and details on our after-sales services and guarantees.
6. Risk of loss and title of goods (when they become ‘yours’)
Ownership of a product/s will not pass to you until we have received in full (in cash or cleared funds) all sums due to us in respect of the product/s. Until ownership of the product/s has passed to you, you must (i) hold the product/s on a fiduciary basis as our trustee, (ii) store the product/s (at no cost to us) and (iii) maintain the product/s in satisfactory condition.
7. Stock availability
It is not our policy to advertise stock we do not hold. It is possible however that we will, on occasion be unable to fulfil your order immediately or at all. Under these circumstances we will endeavour to, where possible, order an item from a manufacturer for you, offer you the closest alternative, process your order without the item or cancel your order. If this is the case, we will inform you as soon as possible with details of any delays or issues there may be. You will only be charged when your order is processed. In the instance of us supplying an alternative product we will cover the cost of any return post and packaging for the alternative product only.

We cannot confirm the price of a product until your order is accepted in accordance with our order acceptance policy (please see condition 3).
If we discover that there is any difference in the price or description of a product between the time of this information being entered onto our system and you ordering we will inform you as soon as possible. On these occasions, you can choose to either cancel your order or go ahead with your order on acceptance of the newly agreed price and product description.
The prices of all products advertised for sale on our website are inclusive of VAT where applicable.
