10. Price and Payment

  1. Where to find the price for the Product: The price of the Product (inclusive of VAT – where applicable) will be the price indicated on the order pages when you placed your order. We take all reasonable care to ensure that the price of the Product advised to you is correct. However, please see Clause 10.3 for information in the event that we discover an error in the price of the Product you order.
  2. We will contact you in the event that there are any changes in the rate of VAT payable. If the rate of VAT changes between your order date and the date we supply the Product, we will adjust the rate of VAT that you pay, unless you have already paid for the Product in full before the change in the rate of VAT takes effect.
  3. What happens if the initial price was incorrect: It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the Products we sell may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check all pricing before accepting your order. Where the Product’s correct price on the date that you ordered the Product is actually less than any price stated, we would charge you the lower amount. If the Product’s correct price at your order date is actually higher than the price stated to you, we will contact you for your instructions before we accept your order.
  4. We accept payment with all major credit and debit cards.
  5. You must make full payment for the Products before we dispatch them. We will charge your credit or debit card at the point we process the Products for dispatch to you.

11. Our responsibility for loss or damage suffered by you. 

  1. We are responsible to you for foreseeable loss and damage caused by us. If we fail to comply with these terms, we are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breaching this contract, or our failing to use reasonable care and skill, but we are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable. Loss or damage is foreseeable if either it is obvious that it will happen or if, at the time the contract was made, both you and we knew it may occur.
  2. We do not exclude or limit in any way our liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so. This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors; for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; for breach of your legal rights in relation to the Products including the right to receive Products which are: as described and match the information we provided to you and any sample or model seen or examined by you; of satisfactory quality; fit for any particular purpose made known to us; and supplied with reasonable skill and care, and for defective Products under the Consumer Protection Act 1987.
  3. We are not liable for business losses. We only supply the Products for domestic and private use otherwise we agreed to supply for business use and please refer business to the business team and conditions. If you use the Products for any commercial, business or re-sale purpose we will have no liability to you for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity.

    3. Nobody else has any rights under this contract. This contract is between you and us. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms.
    4. If a court finds part of this contract illegal, the rest will continue in force. Each of the paragraphs of these terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.
    5. Even if we delay in enforcing this contract, we can still enforce it later. If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaching this contract, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date. For example, if you miss a payment and we do not chase you but we continue to provide the Products, we can still require you to make the payment at a later date.
    6.
