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. If we mistakenly accept and process your order where a pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could reasonably have been recognised by you as a mispricing, we may cancel supply of the Goods and refund you any sums you have paid.

6.2 Prices for our Goods may change from time to time, but changes will not affect any order you have already placed.

6.3 The price of Goods excludes VAT (where applicable), and is charged at the applicable current rate for the time being.
