Conditions Applicable

All conditions of the Customer or other terms and conditions or warranties whatsoever are excluded from the contract or any variation thereof unless expressly accepted by the Company in writing, and these terms and conditions shall be deemed to be incorporated in any quotation received from the Company and the Customer’s own conditions shall not be regarded as a counter offer.

The Contract between us
3.1 We must receive payment of the whole of the price for the goods that you order before your order can be accepted. Your payment of the price for the goods represents an offer on your part to purchase the goods, which will be accepted by us when we send to you an email confirming that the goods have been despatched to you. Our acceptance of your order brings into existence a legally binding contract between us.
3.2 Payment by Telephone: With a view to your online protection regretfully it is not possible to take payments over the phone, for delivery to a different address than the registered card address for your first order. In order for you to complete a transaction successfully, your billing and shipping addresses must be the same and to the address that appears on your payment card statement.
3.3 We gladly accept most major credit cards, including VISA, Maestro and MasterCard. We also take payments made with debit or solo cards.
3.4 Please note your order will not be shipped until payment for your purchase has been approved, usually the day after the order is placed. A Landline phone number is also required for all telephone orders so that the address and contact details can be verified when the payment is processed.
3.5 If you wish to ship to a different address we can send you a secure Pay Pal Payment Request to you by email address and once payment has been approved we can then dispatch your order ONLY to the address used for the Pay Pal payment. If you wish to ship to a different address than your normal card address, you will need to register the shipping details with your credit card company before you will be able to process the Pay Pal payment, so we can process your order.
