The placing of a product on our website is an invitation to accept offers for such product and is not an offer to sell at the listed price nor is it binding on us.  We are under no obligation to accept your order (whether or not the order has been confirmed and the credit cared been charged).

We will acknowledge by e-mail your order for a product at the time you place your order.  We will then notify you within 2 days of such e-mail whether we have accepted your order.  At the same time if we have accepted your order we will notify you of delivery dates.

In the event a product is listed at an incorrect price due to a typographical error, we will notify you of the correct price by e-mail and we will give you the choice of either purchasing the product at the correct price or cancelling your order.  If you confirm you want the product at the corrected price we will deliver the product to you.  If payment has been charged for the purchase and you cancel your order we will, on return of the product (if the product has been sent out) immediately issue a refund.  Any order (whether or not accepted) is subject to availability of the product.  If the product becomes unavailable prior to delivery we will notify you and give you the choice of refund or of purchasing an alternative product.

You may cancel the contract at any time up to and including the fourteenth working day after the day on which the goods are delivered to you by notifying us by e-mail or post at the company address set out at the beginning of these Terms and Conditions.  If you cancel the contract you must return the goods to us at the address set out at the beginning of these Terms and Conditions at your own cost and risk.  If you cancel the contract and then you receive the goods you must not unpack them from their packaging but must immediately send them back to us.

In any event, you must return the goods to us within 17 days of receiving them.  If you do not return the goods to us within 17 days we will contact you.  If we have to collect them from you we will deduct any costs we incur in recovering the goods from your payment to us prior to re-crediting your charge card.

Provided that we receive the goods in the condition they were in when delivered to you then we will re-credit your charge card with the amount debited for your order for the goods in question as soon as possible and, in any event, within 30 days of your cancelling the contract.

Until you return the goods to us you must keep them in your possession and take reasonable care of them.

If the products delivered are defective, not what you ordered, or damaged on delivery please notify us straight away and return them to us using Recorded Delivery.  You should keep a proof of posting.  Full postal costs will be refunded.

We will repair, replace or refund you for the price paid for any products which are found to be incorrect or damaged on delivery for a period of one year after delivery.  If you opt to exchange the products, any additional payments must be included with the returned products.  Replacement products will not be despatched until such payment has been received.

Risk in the products passes to you when the products are signed for at the delivery address stipulated in your order.  We accept no responsibility for any damage or loss to the products after risk passes.
