8.2 Whenever we revise these Terms in accordance with this clause 8, we will give you notice of this by stating that these Terms have been amended and the relevant date at the top of this page.

9. DELIVERY

9.1 We will use reasonable efforts to complete delivery of your order by the estimated delivery date set out in the Order Confirmation, subject to any Event Outside Our Control, but time will not be of the essence in respect of delivery.  If we are unable to meet the estimated delivery date, we will contact you with a revised estimated delivery date as soon as practicable.

9.2 We may deliver the Products ourselves or we may use a third party carrier to deliver the Products.  In either case, delivery will be completed when the Products are delivered to the address you gave us.

9.3 If no one is available at your address to take delivery, we or the third party carrier (as the case may be) will leave you a note that the Products have been returned to our premises or to the premises of the third party carrier (as the case may be).  Please contact us to rearrange delivery as soon as possible.  If you do not rearrange and take delivery of the Products within 21 days from the date of first dispatch, we reserve the right either to:

(a) store the Products (either ourselves or with a third party) until such time as you rearrange and take delivery of them, and charge a reasonable fee for doing so, provided that we accept no liability arising out of or in connection with doing so; or

(b) treat your order as cancelled, in which case we will refund the price paid less a reasonable restocking fee.

9.4 The Products will be your responsibility from completion of delivery.

9.5 You own the Products once we have completed delivery and received payment in full, including all applicable delivery charges.

9.6 You will be deemed to accept the Products 3 days after completion of delivery.  If you believe that the Products delivered are defective or deficient in quantity, you must notify us before that date.

10. NO INTERNATIONAL DELIVERY

10.1  We do not accept orders from or deliver to addresses outside the UK.

11. PRICE OF PRODUCTS AND DELIVERY CHARGES

11.1 The prices of the Products will be as quoted on our site from time to time. We take all reasonable care to ensure that the prices of Products are correct at the time when the relevant information was entered onto the system. However if we discover an error in the price of Product(s) you ordered, please see clause 11.5 for what happens in this event.

11.2 Prices for our Products may change from time to time, but changes will not affect any order which we have confirmed with an Order Confirmation.

11.3 The price of a Product displayed on our site is exclusive of VAT (where applicable).  VAT will be charged at the applicable current rate chargeable in the UK for the time being.

11.4 The price of a Product includes standard delivery charges.

11.5 Our site contains a large number of Products. It is always possible that, despite our reasonable efforts, some of the Products on our site may be incorrectly priced. If we discover an error in the price of the Products you have ordered we will inform you of this error and we will give you the option of continuing to purchase the Product at the correct price or cancelling your order. We will not process your order until we have your instructions. If we are unable to contact you using the contact details you provided during the order process, we will treat the order as cancelled and notify you in writing. Please note that if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as a mispricing, we do not have to provide the Products to you at the incorrect (lower) price.

14.5 Except as expressly stated in these Terms, we do not give any representation, warranties or undertakings in relation to the Products.  Any representation, condition or warranty which might be implied or incorporated into these Terms by statute, common law or otherwise is excluded to the fullest extent permitted by law.

15. EVENTS OUTSIDE OUR CONTROL

15.1 We will not be liable or responsible for any failure to perform, or delay in performance of, any of our obligations under a Contract that is caused by an Event Outside Our Control. An Event Outside Our Control is defined below in clause 15.2.

(a) we will contact you as soon as reasonably possible to notify you; and

(b) our obligations under a Contract will be suspended and the time for performance of our obligations will be extended for the duration of the Event Outside Our Control. Where the Event Outside Our Control affects our delivery of Products to you, we will arrange a new delivery date with you after the Event Outside Our Control is over.

16. COMMUNICATIONS BETWEEN US

16.1 Any reference in these Terms to communication or notice in writing includes e-mail.

16.2 If we have to contact you or give you notice in writing, we will do so by e-mail or by pre-paid post to the address you provide to us in your order.

16.3 Any notice or other communication given by you to us, or by us to you, under or in connection with the Contract shall be in writing and shall be delivered personally, sent by pre-paid first class post or other next working day delivery service, e-mail, or posted on our website.

16.6  The provisions of this clause shall not apply to the service of any proceedings or other documents in any legal action.

17. OTHER IMPORTANT TERMS

17.1 We may transfer our rights and obligations under a Contract to another organisation, but this will not affect your rights or our obligations under these Terms.

17.2 You may only transfer your rights or your obligations under these Terms to another person if we agree in writing.

17.3 This contract is between you and us. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms, whether under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties Act) 1999 or otherwise.

17.4 Each of the paragraphs of these Terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful or unenforceable, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.

17.5 If we fail to insist that you perform any of your obligations under these Terms, or if we do not enforce our rights against you, or if we delay in doing so, that will not mean that we have waived our rights against you and will not mean that you do not have to comply with those obligations. If we do waive a default by you, we will only do so in writing, and that will not mean that we will automatically waive any later default by you.

17.6 A Contract and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with it or its subject matter or formation (including non-contractual disputes or claims) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of England and Wales.

17.7 We both irrevocably agree that the courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with a Contract or its subject matter or formation (including non-contractual disputes or claims).
