The 'confirmation' stage sets out the final details of your order. Following this, we will send to you an email, acknowledging receipt of your order and detailing the products you have ordered (“Order Confirmation”). However, please note that this does not mean that your order has been accepted. Acceptance of your order and the completion of the contract between you and us will take place on dispatch to you of the products ordered, at which time we will send to you an order dispatch confirmation email. We may choose not to accept orders for any reason or no reason. If we are unable to accept your order, we will inform you of this in writing and will not charge you for the product. 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 we have identified an error in the price or description of the product or because we are unable to meet a delivery deadline you have specified.

As our Product range is being constantly developed, we do not guarantee the availability of any Product advertised on the Webstore.
