If, by mistake, we have under-priced an item or a collection of items, we will not be liable to supply an item to you at the stated price provided that we notify you before we dispatch the item concerned.

2.5             Our prices are calculated based on current costs including the cost of materials, labour, delivery, insurance and other costs. We reserve the right to increase our prices at any time up to despatch of an order arising from any factor beyond our control including any increase in our costs. Please note also that we reserve the right to increase our prices in the event that you request any change or variation in the goods or services supplied and that we are not obliged to accept any such request.

3.               Price Promises and Price Matching

3.1             From time to time we may offer price promises under which we agree to match prices with our competitors. Please note that any such price promises are subject to the following conditions:

3.1.1        The price match must be claimed before placing an order, we do not provide refunds for orders which have been placed.

3.1.2        The two products must be identical and sold with the same service conditions. (The comparable price must apply to an identical product in terms of manufacturer, model, size and colour.)

3.1.3        The comparison-price product offered by our competitor must be an item that is actually held in stock (rather than an item only available to order)

3.1.4        The comparison product must be brand new and priced under the same promotional terms as our product, i.e. without carriage charges, with or without VAT and with reference to any costs relating to the number of products originally purchased.

3.1.9        Sellers that trade on a different basis to us (e.g. indirect sellers and resellers using auction and marketplace sites) are not considered to be equivalent competitors. Their prices are therefore excluded from consideration. The published prices of companies who are going out of business or closing down, are in financial difficulties, or in administration or liquidation are also excluded from this guarantee.

3.1.10      We reserve the right to reject an application for any price matching offer if, in our opinion, the quoted prices are unverifiable and the terms of the sale are not considered identical

4.3             Please note also that it is virtually impossible to accurately portray the precise colour of goods in an internet photo, due to differing screen resolutions, and variations from batch to batch. We endeavour to give the best portrayal of colour, but we cannot accept colour or shade differences as evidence of defects.

6.5             Where the items are to be delivered in instalments, each delivery shall constitute a separate contract and failure by us to deliver any one or more of the instalments in accordance with these terms or any claim by you in respect of any one or more instalments shall not entitle you to treat the contract as a whole as terminated.

6.6             If you fail to take delivery of the items or fail to give us adequate delivery instructions at the time stated for delivery (otherwise than by reason of any cause beyond your reasonable control or by reason of our fault) then, without prejudice to any other right or remedy available to us, we reserve the right to:

6.6.1        attempt to redeliver the items to you and charge you an additional delivery fee; or
