If an item's correct price is higher than the price stated on the Website, we will inform you as soon as possible after receiving your order and give you the option of reconfirming your order at the correct price or cancelling it. If we are unable to contact you we will treat the order as cancelled.

Retention of Title

  1. All Goods supplied to the Buyer, notwithstanding delivery and the passing of risk, shall remain the property of the Seller until such time as all monies due to the Seller, whether in relation to the specific goods or otherwise, have been discharged in full. Until title to the Goods has passed to the Buyer, the Buyer shall store the Goods separately from all other goods held by the Buyer so that they remain readily identifiable as the Seller's property and shall maintain the Goods in satisfactory condition and keep them insured against all risks for their full price from the date of delivery.  Furthermore and in the event that the Buyer has not discharged all sums due to the Seller, the Seller reserves the right to repossess any Goods supplied in respect of which payment has not been made and thereafter to sell on these Goods. The Buyer hereby grants an irrevocable right and licence to the Seller, its representatives or agents to enter upon all and any of its premises to recover such Goods. This clause shall be binding on the Buyer, its staff, agents and any receiver, liquidator or examiner or such other person as may be appointed by the Courts.

 

Payment

  1. The Buyer shall effect payment to the Seller for all Goods supplied on or before the due date, as agreed with the Seller.

  3. We may suspend supply of Goods if you do not pay us for Goods when you are supposed to.
  4. The Seller reserves the right to recover all and any charges incurred by it in collecting overdue monies including debt collectors’ fees, solicitors’ fees and/or Court costs.

 

Ending the Contract

You can just contact us and let us know.  The contract will end immediately and we will refund you any sums for products not provided but we may deduct from that refund reasonable compensation for the costs we will incur as a result of your ending the contract.

 

Severance

If any provision or part-provision of these Conditions are or become invalid, illegal or unenforceable, they shall be deemed modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid, legal and enforceable. If such modification is not possible, the relevant provision or part-provision shall be deemed deleted.  Any modification to or deletion of a provision or part-provision under this clause shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the rest of these Conditions.

 

Variation

  1. No variation of these Conditions, including the introduction of any additional terms and conditions, shall be effective unless it is writing and agreed in writing by the Seller.

 

Governing Law and Jurisdiction
