3.4 Use of Our Site is subject to our Website Terms of Use. Please ensure that you have read them carefully and that you understand them.
4.1 We make all reasonable efforts to ensure that all descriptions and graphical representations of Goods available from Us correspond to the actual Goods. Please note, however, the following:
4.1.1 Images of Goods are for illustrative purposes only. There may be slight variations in colour between the image of a product and the actual product sold due to differences in computer displays and lighting conditions;
4.1.2 Images and/or descriptions of packaging are for illustrative purposes only, the actual packaging of Goods may vary.
4.2 Please note that sub-Clause 4.1 does not exclude Our responsibility for mistakes due to negligence on Our part and refers only to minor variations of the correct Goods, not to different Goods altogether. Please refer to Clause 8 if you receive incorrect Goods (i.e. Goods that are not as described).
4.3 Where appropriate, you may be required to select the required size, model, colour, number of the Goods that you are purchasing.
4.4 We cannot guarantee that Goods will always be available. Stock indications are provided on Our Site, however such indications are subject to information received from our suppliers and, whilst passed on in good faith, We cannot be held responsible for any delay beyond our control.
4.5 Minor changes may, from time to time, be made to certain Goods between your Order being placed and Us processing that Order and dispatching the Goods, for example, to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements, or to address particular technical or security issues. Any such changes will not change any main characteristics of the Goods and will not normally affect your use of those Goods. However, if any change is made that would affect your use of the Goods, suitable information will be provided to you.
4.6 We make all reasonable efforts to ensure that all prices shown on Our Site are correct at the time of going online. We reserve the right to change prices and to add, alter, or remove special offers from time to time and as necessary. All pricing information is reviewed and updated daily. Changes in price will not affect any order that you have already placed (please note sub-Clause 4.9 regarding VAT, however).
4.7 All prices are checked by Us before We accept your Order. In the unlikely event that We have shown incorrect pricing information, We will contact you in writing to inform you of the mistake. If the correct price is lower than that shown when you made your Order, we will simply charge you the lower amount and continue processing your Order. If the correct price is higher, We will give you the option to purchase the Goods at the correct price or to cancel your Order (or the affected part of it). We will not proceed with processing your Order in this case until you respond. If We do not receive a response from you within 7 days We will treat your Order as cancelled and notify you of this in writing.

5.2 If, during the order process, you provide Us with incorrect or incomplete information, please contact Us as soon as possible. If We are unable to process your Order due to incorrect or incomplete information, We will contact you to ask to correct it. If you do not give us the accurate or complete information within a reasonable time of Our request, We will cancel your Order and treat the Contract as being at an end. If We incur any costs as a result of your incorrect or incomplete information, We may pass those costs on to you.
5.3 No part of Our Site constitutes a contractual offer capable of acceptance. Your Order constitutes a contractual offer that We may, at Our sole discretion, accept. Our acknowledgement of receipt of your Order does not mean that we have accepted it. Our acceptance is indicated by sending you a Despatch Confirmation email. Only once the goods you have ordered are despatched from our warehouse to be delivered to the designated address will there be a legally binding Contract between Us and you.

5.6 Any refunds due under this Clause 5 will be made using the same payment method that you used when ordering the Goods.
6.1 Payment for Goods and related delivery charges must always be made in advance (unless you are an education establishment registered to pay via official purchase order number) and you will be prompted to pay during the order process. Your chosen payment method will be charged at point of order.
6.2 We accept the following methods of payment on Our Site:
6.2.1 Visa Debit or Credit Card;
6.2.2 Mastercard Debit or Credit Card;
6.2.3 PayPal.
7.1 All Goods purchased through Our Site will normally be delivered within 30 calendar days after the date of Our Order Confirmation unless otherwise agreed or specified during the Order process (subject to delays caused by events outside of Our control, for which see Clause 11).
7.2 If We are unable to deliver the Goods on the delivery date, the following will apply:
7.2.1 If no one is available at your delivery address to receive the Goods and the Goods cannot be posted through your letterbox or left in a safe place nominated by you, Our chosen courier will leave a calling card explaining how to rearrange delivery or where to collect the Goods;
7.2.2 If you do not collect the Goods or rearrange delivery within 7 days, We will contact you to ask you how you wish to proceed. If we cannot contact you or arrange redelivery or collection, We will treat the Contract as cancelled and recover the Goods. If this happens, you will be refunded the purchase price of the Goods themselves, but not the cost of delivery. We may also bill you for any reasonable additional cost that we incur in recovering the Goods.
7.3 In the unlikely event that We fail to deliver the Goods within 30 calendar days of Our Order Confirmation (or as otherwise agreed or specified as under sub-Clause 7.1), if any of the following apply you may treat the Contract as being at an end immediately:
7.3.1 We have refused to deliver your Goods; or
7.3.2 In light of all relevant circumstances, delivery within that time period was essential; or
7.3.3 You told Us when ordering the Goods that delivery within that time period was essential.
7.4 If you do not wish to cancel under sub-Clause 7.3 or if none of the specified circumstances apply, you may specify a new (reasonable) delivery date. If We fail to meet the new deadline, you may then treat the Contract as being at an end.
7.5 You may cancel all or part of your Order under sub-Clauses 7.3 or 7.4 provided that separating the Goods in your Order would not significantly reduce their value. Any sums that you have already paid for cancelled Goods and their delivery will be refunded to you within 2 working days. Please note that if any cancelled Goods are delivered to you, you must return them to Us or arrange with Us for their collection. In either case, We will bear the cost of returning the cancelled Goods.
7.6 Delivery shall be deemed complete and the responsibility for the Goods will pass to you once We have delivered the Goods to the address including, where relevant, any alternative address you have provided.
7.7 Ownership of the Goods passes to you once we have received payment in full of all sums due (including any applicable delivery charges).
7.8 Any refunds due under this Clause 7 will be made using the same payment method that you used when ordering the Goods.
8.1 By law, We must provide goods that are of satisfactory quality, fit for purpose, as described at the time of purchase, in accordance with any pre-contract information We have provided, and that match any samples or models that you have seen or examined (unless We have made you aware of any differences). If any digital content is included in the Goods, that digital content must also conform. If any Goods you have purchased do not comply and, for example, have faults or are damaged when you receive them, or if you receive incorrect (or incorrectly priced) Goods, please contact Us at [email protected] as soon as reasonably possible to inform Us of the fault, damage or error, and to arrange for a refund, repair or replacement. Your available remedies will be as follows:
8.1.1 Beginning on the day that you receive the Goods (and ownership of them) you have a 7 calendar day right to reject the Goods and to receive a full refund if they do not conform as stated above.
8.1.2 If you do not wish to reject the Goods, or if the 7 calendar day rejection period has expired, you may request a repair of the Goods or a replacement. We will bear any associated costs upon receipt of the Goods and will carry out the repair or replacement within a reasonable time and without significant inconvenience to you. In certain circumstances, where a repair or replacement is impossible or otherwise disproportionate, We may instead offer you the alternative (i.e. a replacement instead of a repair or vice versa) or a full refund. If you request a repair or replacement during the 7 calendar day rejection period, that period will be suspended while We carry out the repair or replacement and will resume on the day that you receive the replacement or repaired Goods.
8.1.3 If, after a repair or replacement, the Goods still do not conform (or if We cannot do so as previously described, or have failed to act within a reasonable time or without significant inconvenience to you), you may have the right either to keep the Goods at a reduced price, or to reject them in exchange for a refund.
8.1.4 If you exercise the final right to reject the goods more than six months after you have received the Goods (and ownership of them), We may reduce any refund to reflect the use that you have had out of the Goods.
8.2 Please note that you will not be eligible to claim under this Clause 8 if We informed you of the fault(s), damage or other problems with the Goods before you purchased them (and it is because of the same issue that you now wish to return them); if you have purchased the Goods for an unsuitable purpose that is neither obvious nor made known to Us and the problem has resulted from your use of the Goods for that purpose; or if the problem is the result of normal wear and tear, misuse or intentional or careless damage. Please also note that you may not return Goods to Us under this Clause 8 merely because you have changed your mind. If you are a consumer in the European Union you have a legal right to a 14 calendar day cooling-off period, which is further supplemented by Our Returns Guarantee, bringing it to a total of 30 calendar days, within which you can return Goods for this reason. Please refer to Clause 10 for more details.
8.3 To return Goods to Us for any reason under this Clause 8, please contact Us at [email protected] to arrange for a collection and return. We will be responsible for the costs of returning Goods under this Clause 8 and will reimburse you where appropriate.
8.4 Refunds (whether full or partial, including reductions in price) under this Clause 8 will be issued within 14 calendar days of the day on which We agree that you are entitled to the refund.
8.5 Any and all refunds issued under this Clause 8 will include all delivery costs paid by you when the Goods were originally purchased.
8.6 Refunds under this Clause 8 will be made using the same payment method that you used when ordering the Goods.
8.8 For further information on your rights as a consumer, please contact your local Citizens’ Advice Bureau or Trading Standards Office.
9.1 If you are a consumer in the European Union, you have a legal right to a “cooling-off” period within which you can cancel the Contract for any reason. This period begins once your Order is complete has been despatched from our warehouse and a Despatch Confirmation email sent to you, i.e. when the Contract between you and Us is formed. You may also cancel for any reason before We send the Despatch Confirmation.
9.2 In addition, We offer a further Returns Guarantee which extends the legal cooling-off period within which you may change your mind, cancel, and return the Goods as detailed below.

9.3.1 Telephone: 0208 342 0807 (Option 2);
9.3.2 Email: [email protected];

9.5.3 If the Goods are likely to deteriorate quickly, for example flowers or food;

Please note that if We issue a refund before We have received the Goods and have had a chance to inspect them, We may subsequently charge you an appropriate sum if We find that the Goods have been handled excessively.
9.10.2 Standard delivery charges will be reimbursed in full as part of your refund. Please note, however, that We cannot reimburse for premium delivery. We will only reimburse the equivalent standard delivery costs when issuing refunds under this Clause 9.
