You place your order by clicking on the submit order button at the end of the online order process. You will be guided through the process of placing an order by a series of simple instructions on the Website.

​

Once you have placed your order, we will send to you an acknowledgement email detailing the Goods that you have ordered, a payment reference and the value of your order which will be debited from your credit/debit card.

​

Unless we have notified you that we are not able to accept your order or you have cancelled your order in accordance with the Cancellation and Returns Procedures set out below, our acceptance of your order and the completion of the contract between you and us will take place at the time and date that we notify you by e-mail that we have despatched the Goods ordered by you. The deemed time and date of receipt by you shall apply regardless of whether, for reasons outside our control, you have not received that email.

• The identification of a pricing or product description error or,

• You not meeting the eligibility to order criteria set out in these Terms.
