Unless otherwise agreed in writing, these conditions are the only conditions upon which we are prepared to supply the Goods to you. These Conditions shall constitute the whole agreement between us and shall govern the contract between us ("Contract") to the entire exclusion of all other terms or conditions (including your terms and conditions or those implied by trade, custom or practice).

ii. you are at least 18 years old;
iii. you are resident in the UK.
iv. you are accessing our site from the UK.

5 How the Contract is Formed Between You and Us

• After placing an order, there will be a page on our website that will acknowledge your order. Please note that this does not mean that your order has been accepted. Your order constitutes an offer to us to buy Goods. 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 order ("Order Confirmation"). The Contract will only be formed when we send you the Order Confirmation.
• The Contract will relate only to those Goods we have confirmed in the Order Confirmation. We will not be obliged to supply any other Goods which may have been part of your order until the order of such Goods has been confirmed in a separate Order Confirmation.

6 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 Goods. In this case, you will receive a full refund of the price paid for the Goods in accordance with our refunds policy (set out in paragraph 11 below).
• To cancel a Contract, you must inform us in writing and return the Goods to us immediately, in the same condition in which you received them, and at your own cost and risk.
• The rights outlined in the two preceding paragraphs, however, do not apply to the supply of food, beverages, or other goods intended for everyday consumption.

7 Availability and Delivery

Please allow for standard delivery 3 - 5 working days for your order to be delivered.

8 Non-Delivery

• The quantity of any consignment of Goods as recorded by us upon despatch from our place of business shall be conclusive evidence of the quantity received by you on delivery unless you can provide conclusive evidence proving the contrary.
• We shall not be liable for any non-delivery of Goods (even if caused by our negligence) unless written notice is given to us within 5 days of the date when the Goods would, in the ordinary course of events, have been received.
• Any liability we have for non-delivery of the Goods shall be limited to replacing the Goods within a reasonable time or issuing a credit note at the pro rata Contract rate against any invoice raised for such Goods.

9 Risk and Title

• The Goods will be at your risk from the time of delivery.
• Ownership of the Goods will only pass to you when we receive full payment of all sums due in respect of the Goods, including delivery charges.

• These prices include VAT but exclude delivery costs, which will be added to the total amount due as set out in our Delivery Guide.
• Prices are liable to change at any time, but changes will not affect orders in respect of which we have already sent you a Order Confirmation.
• Our site contains a large number of Goods and it is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the Goods listed on our site may be incorrectly priced. We will normally verify prices as part of our dispatch procedures so that, where the correct price of the Goods is less than our stated price, we will charge the lower amount when dispatching the Product to you. If the correct price of the Goods is higher than the price stated on our site, we will normally, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before dispatching the Goods, or reject your order and notify you of such rejection.
• We are under no obligation to provide the Goods to you at the incorrect (lower) price, even after we have sent you a Order Confirmation, if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as a mis-pricing.
• Payment for all Goods must be by credit or debit card. We accept payment with Visa, MasterCard or Switch. We will charge your credit or debit card as soon as we receive your order.

• When you return Goods to us (for instance, because you have cancelled the Contract between us in accordance with condition 6 or because you claim that the Goods are defective), we will examine the returned Goods and will notify you of any refund via e-mail within a reasonable period of time. We will usually refund any money received from you using the same method originally used by you to pay for your purchase. We will usually process the refund due to you as soon as possible and, in any case, within 30 days of the day we received your cancellation or the day we confirmed to you via e-mail that you were entitled to a refund for delivery of the defective Goods.
• Goods returned by you because of a defect will be refunded in full, including a refund of the delivery charges for sending the item to you and the cost incurred by you in returning the item to us.
• Goods returned by you within the seven-day cooling-off period (see paragraph 6 above) will be refunded in full, including the cost of sending the item to you. However, you will be responsible for the cost of returning the item to us.
