2. Formation of agreement
2.1 An agreement for us to sell you goods is made on the basis of these terms and conditions when we accept your order for goods made through the Website. (This agreement between us is referred to in these terms and conditions as "this agreement".)
2.2 The description of the goods, price, currency and delivery costs are set out in the 'confirm order' page.
3.1 Orders shall be accepted at our sole discretion and are subject to acceptance in accordance with this agreement. The 'confirm order' page sets out the final details of your order. Following this, we will send to you an order acknowledgement email detailing the goods you have ordered. Please note that the order acknowledgement email is not an order confirmation or order acceptance from us.
3.2 Acceptance of your order and the completion of the agreement between you and us will take place on despatch to you of the goods ordered unless we have notified you that we do not accept your order or you have cancelled it.
4.1 The price of the goods will be stated at the 'confirm order' stage and in the order acknowledgement e-mail. Whilst we try to ensure that the pricing of goods is accurate at all times, occasionally there may be an error. If we find a pricing error we will inform you as soon as possible and give you the option of cancelling or confirming your order. If you decide to cancel your order we will refund any money already paid by you in full.
5.1 Unless we specify otherwise, delivery dates will always be within 14 days. However, all delivery dates are given only for general guidance and we will not be held liable in any way for late delivery of goods.
