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 the Product has been dispatched. The contract between us will only be formed when we send you the Dispatch Confirmation.
  • The Contract will relate only to those Products whose dispatch we have confirmed in the Dispatch Confirmation. We will not be obliged to supply any other Products which may have been part of your order until the dispatch of such Products has been confirmed in a separate Dispatch Confirmation.
  • Our status

    • Please note that we may provide links on our site to the websites of other companies, whether affiliated with us or not. We cannot give any undertaking, that products or services you purchase from these companies will be of satisfactory quality and any such warranties are disclaimed by us absolutely. This disclaimer does not affect your statutory rights against those companies.

    Consumer rights

    • If you are contracting as a consumer, you may cancel a Contract at any time within seven working days, beginning on the day after you received the Products. In this case, you will receive a full refund of the price paid for the Products in accordance with our refunds policy.
    • To cancel a Contract, you must inform us by email or in writing and provide a brief explanation as to the reason for the return. We will email you with the relevant return instructions. Upon receipt of those instructions you must return the Product(s) to us immediately, in the same condition in which you received them, with the original packaging slip or a copy thereof, and at your own cost and risk. We would suggest that you consider the use of Recorded Delivery or some other form of trackable delivery when returning the Products to us.
    • You have a legal obligation to take reasonable care of the Products while they are in your possession. If you fail to comply with this obligation, we may have a right of action against you for compensation.
    • This provision does not affect your statutory rights.

    Availability and delivery

    • We endeavour to dispatch your order on the day of receipt of the same provided your order is received before 2.30pm. If your order is received after this time or is received over the weekend or on a bank or public holiday then it will be dispatched the next business day. During periods of excessive demand or under other exceptional circumstances these time indications may increase.
    • In the unlikely event of an item forming part of your order being out of stock we will inform you of this by email and provide you with an indication of when we may expect that item to arrive back in stock. You will be given the opportunity to cancel that part of the order if you so wish. For the avoidance of doubt you shall not be charged for that part of the order until it is dispatched.
    • Where part of your order is out of stock we may send the remainder of your order to you and the out of stock portion at a later date. You will not incur any additional postage costs for the out of stock items being sent separately.
    • Standard delivery is normally made by Royal Mail 1st Class and usually received within 2-4 days of placing the order. Deliveries to the Republic of Ireland will usually be made within 2 working days.
    • Please note that the dispatch estimates indicated above are merely estimates and not guarantees and as such should not necessarily be relied upon.
    • Your delivery may require a signature. If you are not likely to be at home to sign for your delivery we would suggest that you choose to have your order delivered to your work or an alternative address at the time of ordering.
    • Where the carrier fails to make a delivery to you, either because you were not available at the address provided when the carrier attempted to deliver your order and did not collect the order within the time limit set by the carrier or because the address you provided is incorrect or does not exist, and as a result your order is returned to us, we will make a charge not exceeding �5 for domestic shipments to cover the costs that we incur in sending your order and paying for its return. Upon receiving your returned order we will issue you with a refund for the amount remaining after the deduction of the aforementioned charges. We are unable to resend returned orders but if you still require the items please reorder. We regret that we cannot be held responsible if the carrier has failed to notify you of an attempted delivery. Please contact the carrier directly.
    • In the unlikely event of your order not arriving please note that Royal Mail will not consider it lost until 21 days from the date of dispatch have passed and we cannot resend the missing order until after this time. In the case of international deliveries we cannot accept the same as lost until 30 days from the date of dispatch have passed.

    Risk and title

    • The Products will be at your risk from the time of delivery.
    • 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.

    Price and payment

    • The price of any Products will be as quoted on our site from time to time, except in cases of obvious error.
    • These prices include VAT but exclude delivery costs, which will be added to the total amount due as set out in our ‘Shipping and Returns’ section.
    • Prices are liable to change at any time, but changes will not affect orders in respect of which we have already sent you a Dispatch Confirmation.
    • Our site contains a large number of Products and it is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the Products listed on our site 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 site, 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 price, even after we have sent you a Dispatch Confirmation, if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as a mispricing.
    • Payment for all Products must be by credit or debit card. We will not charge your credit or debit card until we dispatch your order.
    • Your order will only be processed if your credit card billing address and card security code can be verified by our credit card payment acquisition company.
