In all cases, we will enclose a copy of you order confirmation with your product on delivery. We recommend keeping your order confirmation in a safe place in case you have any queries.

4.6. If we cannot accept your order. If we are unable to accept your order, we will inform you of this and will not charge you for the product. This might be because the product is out of stock, because you failed the age verification process, 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.
5.1. Products may vary slightly from their pictures. The images of the products on our website are illustrative only. Although we have made every effort to display the colours accurately, we cannot guarantee that your computer's display of the colours accurately reflect the colour of the products.

If the price of an unconfirmed order changes, we will let you know and give you the option of cancelling the order.
6.3. When we incorrectly price your product. It is always possible that, despite our reasonable efforts, some of the products on our website may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices as part of our dispatch procedures so that:
(I) where the product's correct price is less than the price stated on our website, we will charge the lower amount when dispatching the products to you or apply a credit to your online account; and
(II) if the product's correct price is higher than the price stated on the website, we do not have to provide the products to you at the incorrect (lower) price. In this instance we will contact you as soon as possible to inform you of this error. You will then have the option to cancel the order and receive a full refund if you have already paid the price to us or to continue to purchase the product at the correct (higher) price. We will not process your order until we have your instructions. If we are unable to contact you within a reasonable time using the contact details you provided during the order process, we will treat the order as cancelled and notify you in writing.

We do not accept responsibility for products lost or damaged in the post. PLEASE NOTE that returning products under the 14-day period allowed by the CCR is at your cost. |
What we will do We may make a deduction from the refund for any loss in value of the products, if the loss has been caused by unnecessary handling by you. |
