- On placing an order through our Website you are making an offer to us to purchase the products selected in accordance with these Conditions. (Please note that we may not always be able to accept your offer; please see details under “Acceptance” below).
- By making an offer to purchase products, you expressly authorise us and/or our online business partners to perform the appropriate credit checks and, should it appear necessary, obtain additional information required to process your order efficiently.

(Please see our Privacy Policy.)
- Please note that changes to applicable law between the date your order is placed and the date you are sent a confirmation of order may result in changes to the sales tax associated with your order.

Access and Use of our Website
The Website is only available to online customers who meet the requirements set out in the Term of Use. For a full copy, please click here.
-
Acceptance
- Once your order has been submitted through the Website, we will send you a confirmation email with an Order Reference Number. Please make sure that you save this order reference number for future inquiries regarding your order.
- We will send you a second email to let you know when your order has been despatched and to confirm the tracking number.
- Unless you cancel your order in accordance with Your rights to end the contract (clause 9), acceptance of your order and completion of the contract between you and us will take place when we dispatch your order. The sale contract is therefore concluded at that time in London, England and the language of the contract is English.
- If we are unable to accept your order, we will inform you in writing and will not charge you for the product. This might be because the product is out of stock, because of unexpected limits on our resources which we could not reasonably plan for, because we are unable to obtain authorisation for payment from your credit card company, because we have identified an error in the price or description of the product, because you do not meet the terms of eligibility as set out above; or that our courier partner is unable to deliver to your stated delivery address.
- We retain the express right not to process a transaction before dispatching your order to you at any time at our sole discretion for whatever reason. In this event, we will not be liable to you or any third party by reason of our withdrawing any products from the Website, whether or not such products have been sold.
-
Our Products
- It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the products we sell may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices before accepting your order so that, where the product's correct price at your order date is less than our stated price at your order date, we will charge the lower amount. If the product's correct price at your order date is higher than the price stated, we will contact you for your instructions before we accept your order. If we accept and process your order where a pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could reasonably have been recognised by you as a mispricing, we may end the contract, refund you any sums you have paid and require the return of any products provided to you.
- The images of the products on the Website are for illustrative purposes only. Although we have made every effort to display the colours accurately, we cannot guarantee that a device’s display of the colours accurately reflects the true colour of the products. Your product may vary slightly from those images.
-
Your rights to make changes
If you wish to make a change to the product you have ordered, please Contact Us. We will let you know if the change is possible, if there are any changes to the price of the product, the timing of supply and anything else which would be necessary as a result of your requested change and ask you to confirm whether you wish to go ahead with the change.
-
Payment
- We accept the following payment cards: American Express, MasterCard, Visa, Visa Debit and Maestro and any other methods which may be clearly advertised on our Website from time to time.
- Payment will be debited and cleared from your account immediately upon clicking “Complete secure checkout” subject to your bank’s clearing process. Debit of the payment does not mean acceptance of the offer and conclusion of the contract, therefore your payment will be refunded if the product is not dispatched to you and the sale contract is not concluded.
- You are responsible for confirming that you are the legitimate holder of the credit/debit card or that you have been specifically authorised by the owner of the credit/debit card to use it and that your details are correct. All cardholders are subject to validation checks and authorisation by the card issuer. If the card issuer refuses to authorise payment to us, we will not be liable for any delay or non-delivery.
