3.4 We reserve our rights to cancel any Order at any time without further reason to you.

3.5 If we are unable to accept the Order, we shall inform you of this in writing and shall not charge you for the Product(s). 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 a credit reference we have obtained for you does not meet our minimum requirements, because we have identified an error in the price or description of the Product or because we are unable to meet an estimated delivery date you have specified.

Price And Payment

10.1 The price of the product excludes VAT (unless otherwise stated) and will be the price indicated on the order pages when you placed your order. 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.

If the product’s correct price at your order date is higher than the price stated to you, we will contact you for your instructions before we accept your order. If you are a Business Customer, we will notify you of the charges and either refund you the overpaid amount or invoice you for the underpaid amount.

You must pay us interest together with any overdue amount. We may claim fixed sum compensation from you under Section 5A of that Act to cover our credit control overhead costs;

(b) You are to indemnify us in full and hold us harmless from all expenses and liabilities we may incur (directly or indirectly including financing costs and including legal costs on a full indemnity basis) following any breach by you of any of your obligations under these terms; and

(c) if you have an approved credit account with us, we may withdraw it or reduce your credit limit or bring forward your due date for payment.

This interest shall accrue on a daily basis from the due date until the date of actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgment. You must pay us interest together with any overdue amount.

(d) you alter or repair the product without our written consent; or

11.4 Except where you are a Consumer Customer and may be entitled to any other rights by law and except as provided in this clause 11.1 to 11.6 (inclusive), we shall have no liability to you in respect of a product’s failure to comply with the warranty set out in clause 11.1.

12.3 If you are ending a contract for a reason set out at 12.3(a) to (e) below the contract will end immediately and we will refund you in full for any products which have not been provided and you may also be entitled to compensation. The reasons are:

12.9 If you are exercising your right to change your mind:

(b) We will also reduce your refund by a return fee of £10 per box returned to cover the costs of your return (or such other cost as notified to you at the time of any requested return) and a charge of 20% to cover our restocking and storage costs for the returned Products.

12.13 If you are responsible for the costs of return and we are collecting the product from you, we will charge you the direct cost to us of collection as notified to you from time to time.

12.14 If you are entitled to a refund under these terms, we will refund you the price you paid for the products including delivery costs, by the method you used for payment. However, we may make deductions from the price as described in clause 12.9.

12.15 If you are a Consumer Customer exercising your right to change your mind then:

(a) If the products are goods and we have not offered to collect them, your refund will be made within 14 days from the day on which we receive the product back from you or, if earlier, the day on which you provide us with evidence that you have sent the product back to us.
