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 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 UK WEEE Regulations require that businesses involved in the supply of electrical equipment take an active role in its collection and recycling. We have made a financial contribution toward the development of improved recycling collection points (known as ‘DesignatedCollection Facilities’) throughout the UK through our membership of the Distributor Take Back Scheme. To remind you to recycle, all new electrical products are marked with a crossed out wheelie bin symbol. You can take any old electrical equipment to participating ‘household waste recycling centres’ run by their local councils which you can locate using www.recycle-more.co.uk .
