2 YOUR STATUS
2.1 By placing an order through our site, you warrant that you have due authority to contract on behalf of any organisation on behalf of which you purport to contract.
3 HOW THE CONTRACT IS FORMED BETWEEN YOU AND US
3.1 After placing an order, 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. Your order constitutes an offer to us to buy Goods or use a Service. All orders are subject to acceptance by us, and we will confirm such acceptance to you by sending you an e-mail which confirms that the Goods have been dispatched or that the Service will be provided (the Dispatch Email). The contract between us (the Contract) will only be formed when we send you the Dispatch Email.
3.2 The Contract will relate only to those Goods or Services mentioned in the Dispatch Email. We will not be obliged to supply any other Goods or Services which may have been part of your order until the dispatch of such Goods or the supply of such Services has been confirmed in a separate Dispatch Email.
4 CONSUMER RIGHTS
4.1 We do not provide Goods or Services for consumers and unless advised to the contrary may assume you are contracting with us in relation to your business.
5 AVAILABILITY AND DELIVERY
5.1 Your order for Goods will be fulfilled by the delivery date set out in the Dispatch Email or, if no delivery date is specified, then within 7 working days of the date of the Dispatch Email, unless there are exceptional circumstances.
6 INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
6.1 Intellectual property provisions relating to the usage of downloaded materials is set out in our Terms of Website Use, under the heading "Intellectual Property Rights".
7 RISK AND TITLE
7.1 The Goods will be at your risk from the time of delivery.
7.2 Ownership of the Goods will only pass to you when we receive full payment of all sums due in respect of the Goods, including delivery charges.
8 PRICE AND PAYMENT
8.1 The price of any Goods and Services will be as quoted on our site from time to time, except in cases of obvious error.
8.2 These prices include VAT but exclude delivery costs, which will be specified and added during the online ordering process.
8.3 Prices are liable to change at any time, but changes will not affect orders in respect of which we have already sent you a Dispatch Email.
8.4 It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the Goods and Services listed on our site may be incorrectly priced. We will normally verify prices as part of our dispatch procedures so that where the Goods' correct price is less than our stated price, we will charge the lower amount when dispatching the Goods to you. If the Goods' correct price is higher than the price stated on our site, we may, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before dispatching the Goods, or reject your order and notify you of such rejection. The same principles will apply to the provision of Services.
8.5 We are under no obligation to provide Goods and Services to you at the incorrect (lower) price, even after we have sent you a Dispatch Email, if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as a mis-pricing.
9 OUR REFUNDS POLICY
9.1 When you return any Goods to us for any valid reason (for instance, because you have notified us in accordance with clause 19 that you do not agree to any change in these terms and conditions or in any of our policies, or because you claim that the Goods are defective), we will examine the returned Goods and will notify you of your refund via e-mail within a reasonable period of time. We will usually process the refund due to you as soon as possible and, in any case, within 30 days of the day we confirmed to you via e-mail that you were entitled to a refund for the defective Goods. Goods returned by you because of a defect will be refunded in full, including a refund of the delivery charges for sending the item to you and the cost incurred by you in returning the item to us.
9.2 We will usually refund any money received from you using the same method used by you to pay for your purchase.
