10. Price and payment

10.1 Where to find the price for the product. The unit price excluding VAT or other sales tax of the product is stated on our website and the total price for your order (which will have VAT or other applicable sales tax added) will be the price indicated on the order pages when you placed your order. We use our best efforts to ensure that the price of the product advised to you is correct. However please see clause 10.3 for what happens if we discover an error in the price of the product you order.

10.2 We will pass on changes in the rate of VAT or other sales tax. If the rate of VAT or other applicable sales tax changes between your order date and the date we supply the product, we will adjust the rate of VAT or sales tax that you pay, unless you have already paid for the product in full before the change in the rate of VAT/sales tax takes effect.

10.3 What happens if we got the price wrong. It is possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the products we sell may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices before accepting your order so that, where the product’s correct price at your order date is less than our stated price at your order date, we will charge the lower amount. If the product’s correct price at your order date is higher than the price stated to you, we will contact you for your instructions before we accept your order.

10.4 When you must pay and how you must pay. We accept payment by the various means listed on the order pages. You must pay for the products on order.

10.5 What to do if you think an invoice is wrong. If you think an invoice is wrong please contact us promptly to let us know.

11. Our responsibility for loss or damage suffered by you

11.1 We are responsible to you for foreseeable loss and damage caused by us. If we fail to comply with these terms, we are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breaking this contract, but we are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable. Loss or damage is foreseeable if either it is obvious that it will happen or if, at the time the contract was made, both we and you knew it might happen, for example, if you discussed it with us during the sales process.

11.2 We do not exclude or limit in any way our liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so. This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors; for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; for breach of your legal rights in relation to the products as summarised at clause 9.2 and for defective products under the Consumer Protection Act 1987

11.3 We are not liable for business losses. Although we supply products for domestic and business use, these terms only govern sales of products to consumers and the supply of products for domestic and private use. If you use the products for any commercial, business or re-sale purpose we will have no liability to you for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity.

12. How we may use your personal information

12.1 How we will use your personal information. We will use the personal information you provide to us:

(a) to supply the products to you; (b) to process your payment for the products; and (c) if you agreed to this during the order process, to give you information about similar products that we provide, but you may stop receiving this at any time by contacting us.

12.2 We will only give your personal information to other third parties where the law either requires or allows us to do so.

13. Other important terms

13.1 We may transfer this agreement to someone else. We may transfer our rights and obligations under these terms to another organisation. We will always tell you in writing if this happens and we will ensure that the transfer will not affect your rights under the contract.

13.2 Nobody else has any rights under this contract. This contract is between you and us. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms.

13.3 If a court finds part of this contract illegal, the rest will continue in force. Each of the paragraphs of these terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.

13.4 Which laws apply to this contract and where you may bring legal proceedings. These terms are governed by English law and you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the products in the English courts. You may also be able to bring legal proceedings in respect of the products in the courts of the country or jurisdiction in which you live.

13.5 Alternative dispute resolution. Alternative dispute resolution is a process where an independent body considers the facts of a dispute and seeks to resolve it, without you having to go to court. If you are not happy with how we have handled any complaint, you may want to refer the dispute for online resolution to the European Commission Online Dispute Resolution platform.
