We may choose not to accept your order for any reason without liability to you. After submitting an order to us via the Shopping Basket area of the Web Store, we will send you an order acknowledgement email with your order number and details of the Products you have ordered. Please note that this email is an acknowledgement that we have received your order and is not an acceptance of your order. Acceptance of your order and the formation of a contract of sale between us and you will not take place unless and until the Products have been despatched to you. The contract will be concluded and documents related to it supplied in English. When placing an order for the first time, you will be required to register with us and complete certain required fields on an order form. We may provide you with and/or ask you to use identifications and passwords and other means for you to be able to access certain areas of the Web Store, such as the My Account section of the Web Store (“Secure Access”).

You shall comply with all security directions and/or recommendations given by us and inform us immediately if you become aware of or suspect any unauthorised use of the Secure Access or if the Secure Access becomes available to an unauthorised party. Without prejudice to our other rights and remedies, we may suspend your access to the Web Store without liability to you, if in our reasonable opinion, such action is necessary for safeguarding the Web Store. In the event prolonged inactivity causes your connection to our Web Store to fail, your selection of goods may be lost. In such case, you will be required to re-enter your selection. Before you submit your order, you will be given the opportunity to review your selection, check the total price of your order and correct any input errors.

Where you place an order for any Products which are subsequently unavailable, we will not charge you for such Products and will not supply any substitute Products in their place. You will only be charged for Products which have been despatched to you (together with the relevant delivery charges and any card processing charges). Although we have made all reasonable efforts to correctly display product colours on the Web Store, we cannot guarantee that these will be accurately represented.
