10. Payment

The price of any Products will be as quoted on our Website from time to time, except in cases of obvious error.

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 Payment Confirmation.

Our Shop catalogue contains a large number of Products and it is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the Products listed on our Website may be incorrectly priced. We will normally verify prices as part of our dispatch procedures so that, where a Product's correct price is less than our stated price, we will charge the lower amount when dispatching the Product to you. If a Product’s correct price is higher than the price stated on our Website, we will normally, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before dispatching the Product, or reject your order and notify you of such rejection.

We are under no obligation to provide the Product to you at the incorrect (lower) price, even after we have sent you an Order Confirmation, if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as a mis-pricing.

Payment for all Products must be by credit or debit card. We accept payment with VISA, Master Card, Switch or Delta. Unfortunately we are unable to accept AMEX, ELECTRON cards, cheques, cash or postal orders through the Website. For an order to be processed you will need to provide the cardholder's name as it is shown on the card as well as the postcode that appears on the card statement. Neither we nor our online payment provider accept any responsibility for incorrect or incomplete details submitted on the Website. We will not charge your credit or debit card until we despatch your order.

Perpetrators of card fraud will be prosecuted.

11. Refunds

When you return a Product to us (for instance, because you have cancelled the Contract between us, or have notified us in accordance with Paragraph 20 that you do not agree to any change in these terms and conditions or in any of our policies, or because you claim that the Product is defective), we will examine the returned Product and will notify you of your 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 Product.

Products 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.
