Please note that you must comply with any applicable laws and regulations of the country for which the Products are destined. We will not be liable for any breach by you of such laws.

4.1 When you place an order whether by post, fax, telephone or via the internet, together with appropriate payment and payment method (see condition 8.6), it constitutes an offer to us to buy a Product and is subject to acceptance by us. We will not accept your order until we have checked the availability of stock in our warehouse and are happy that we can fulfil the order.

4.2 If you place an order via our website, you will receive an e-mail from us acknowledging that we have received your order. Please note that this does not mean that your order has been accepted.

4.3

We will process orders for shipment provided stocks are either currently available or likely to be so within the next 7 working days.

If the product is likely to be delayed beyond 7 working days, we will write to you to inform you of the likely delivery date and will take instructions from you as to how you would like to proceed.

A dispatch confirmation will be included with the shipment but if you provide us with a valid e-mail address we will send you an electronic confirmation of dispatch.

The contract between us will only be formed, and you will only be charged, when the Products are dispatched from our warehouse (the “Contract”).
