PRICE AND PAYMENT

9.1

The price of any Products will be as quoted on our Website from time to time, except in cases of obvious error.

Prices include VAT and delivery costs to mainland UK, but exclude delivery costs to Isle of Man, Scottish Islands, Silly Isles, Northern Ireland and Channel Islands, which will be an additional charge, as set out on our Website.

9.3

Prices are liable to change at any time, but changes will not affect orders in respect of which we have already sent you an Order Acceptance.

9.4

Our Website contains a large number 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.

9.5

We are under no obligation to provide the Product to you at the incorrect (lower) price, even after we have sent you an Order Acceptance, if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as a mis-pricing.

9.6

Payment for all Products must be by credit or debit card. We accept payment by Visa, Mastercard, Switch, Maestro or PayPal. We will charge your credit or debit card at the time that you make your order. Should we not have a Product available for dispatch at the time of taking your payment, your payment will be regarded as a pre-payment.
