OUR PRODUCTS

The images of the Products on our site are for illustrative purposes only. Although we have made every effort to display the colours accurately, we cannot guarantee that your computer's display of the colours accurately reflects the colour of the Products. Your Products may vary slightly from those images. Whilst we have tried our best to be as precise as possible, all sizes, weights, capacities, dimensions and measurements indicated on our site are approximate but the Products we sell to you will match the model that you order, except to the extent that any differences are brought to your attention before you place your order.

PURCHASE OF PRODUCTS

Our E-Shop pages will guide you through the steps you need to take to place an order with us. Our order process allows you to check and amend any errors before submitting your order to us. Please take the time to read and check your order at each page of the order process.

After you place 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. Our acceptance of your order will not take place before we send you an e-mail confirming that the Products have been dispatched (Dispatch Confirmation). The contract between us will only be formed when we send you the Dispatch Confirmation (Contract). Timescales for delivery and delivery charges will vary depending on the availability of our products and your address. If we are not able to deliver the whole of your order at one time due to operational reasons or shortage of stock, we may deliver it in instalments, but we will not charge you extra delivery costs for this. If we are unable to supply you with a Product (for example because that Product is not in stock or no longer available or because we cannot meet your requested delivery date or because of an error in the price or delivery information on our site), we will inform you of this by e-mail and we will not process your order and, if you have already paid for the Products and delivery, we will refund you your payment as soon as possible.

For replacement Products delivered to consumers outside the European Union, you will be responsible for all the delivery charges.
