6. OUR AGREEMENT FOR THE SALE OF GOODS AND THE ORDERING PROCESS
6.1 The Website displays Goods which are advertised for sale and gives information about them. By advertising Goods on the Website, We are inviting You to place an Order with Us. If You place an Order, We are not obliged to accept that Order and the Contract between Us will only be formed if and when We accept Your Order. Neither submitting an electronic order form, nor completing the checkout process constitutes Our acceptance of Your Order. Our acceptance of Your order and the formation of a binding contract between You and Us will take place when We dispatch the Goods to You. Up until this point, there will be no contract in place between You and Us, which means that neither You nor We will have any rights against or obligations towards the other (i.e. these Terms will not apply to Your order until We accept Your contract by dispatching the Goods). You may include any number of items within a single Order, subject to any restrictions set out in these Terms or on the Website and each Order which You place will be a separate Contract between Us. We reserve the right to refuse to supply Goods to any person.
6.2 Any terms and conditions appearing or referred to in the Order or otherwise stipulated by You shall have no effect. Any variation of the Contract must be confirmed in writing by Us.
6.3 The following paragraphs explain the process which You will need to go through to place an Order and how the Contract for the sale of Goods between us will be formed. This section also explains important information about payment and delivery.
Step 1 - Choosing Your Goods
You can select a product for purchase by clicking on the item which You are interested in and then clicking on "Add to Basket".
Step 2 –Reviewing Your Basket
You can review the products which You have added to Your basket. You can change the contents of Your basket by amending the quantity of Goods You want to order (which may be subject to a maximum number of items, per size from time to time), removing any unwanted items by clicking 'Delete' and viewing the basket total value. You can also enter any voucher code which You may have. Entering a valid voucher code and clicking 'Apply' will update the basket total. You can then continue shopping and adding to Your basket if You wish or if You don't want to buy anything else, go straight to the next step.
Step 3 – Going to Checkout
Once You have finished shopping, You will then be asked to choose Your delivery options. Once You have done this, You should select 'Proceed to Secure Checkout' or, alternatively, You can choose to pay with PayPal at this stage by clicking on the PayPal link.
Step 4 – Completing Your Billing & Delivery Address
If You are an existing Customer and You have already logged in, the billing address details You have previously entered will now appear. If You are not logged in, or if this is Your first visit, You will be asked to enter Your billing address. You will then be asked to enter Your delivery address. You have the option of selecting the same address as Your billing address. You then have the option to review Your delivery option at this point. You must provide us with the correct address details. We will not be liable for any delay to or failure of delivery as a result of Your failure to provide accurate address details. If You are happy that You have entered Your details correctly, You can proceed by clicking on 'Continue Securely'.
Step 5 – Entering Your Payment Details
You will then need to enter Your payment details. Please check this information very carefully. If You are logged in as an existing customer and you have previously saved Your payment details, they will appear here. If you want to check Your Order, Your Order summary page will be in the right hand corner. This includes details of the Goods in Your Order. You should check the details at this stage very carefully as this is the final stage in the Order process at which You can correct any mistakes or change the Goods which You want to Order. You can do this by returning to the home page and completing the process set out above again. If You are happy with Your Order, click 'Continue Securely'.
Step 6 – Placing Your Order
By clicking on 'Place Order & Pay', You are confirming that You have read, these Terms and that you accept that these Terms apply to Your contract with Us. At this point Your details will be submitted to Us.
Step 7 – Order Acknowledgement
Once We have received confirmation that Your payment has been authorised, a screen will appear, thanking You for Your Order. You will be given an Order reference and an e-mail will be sent to You to acknowledge Your Order. It will confirm the Goods, price and any delivery charge. Print a copy of the Order acknowledgment and e-mail and keep them for Your records. Please note, Our acceptance of Your Order (regardless of the content of any emails We send You) will only take place when we despatch Your Order.
6.4 We may refuse Your Order or cancel Your Order if We decide it is reasonable to do so which may include circumstances where:
6.4.1 We are unable to obtain authorised payment or the payment process is incomplete; or
6.4.2 We identify a product or pricing error on the Website; or
6.4.3 You fail to meet any criteria for eligibility of purchase which We may impose from time to time; or

6.4.6 Goods are unavailable or out of stock.

We reserve the right to limit the total value of Goods which can be included in an Order.

This means that if You order more than one item, there is no delivery charge for the additional items.
7.2 We may amend prices at any time. Where there is a difference between a price at the time the Order is made and when We ship Your Order, We will inform You by email or telephone and ask You if You wish to proceed. If You decline and for any reason payment has already been taken, it will be re-credited to Your credit or debit account.
7.3 Offers and promotions on the Website are subject to availability and We may change or withdraw them at any time and without notice. Nothing shall oblige Us to maintain offers or promotions for any period. Additional terms may apply, details of which will be displayed.

7.5 We accept payment via PayPal and most major credit and debit cards including Visa, MasterCard, Maestro and American Express. You must only use a card if You are the named cardholder. By placing an Order, You confirm that You are the authorised cardholder. All credit and charge card holders are subject to validation and security checks as well as authorisation by the card issuer and any additional terms imposed by the issuer. If the issuer does not authorise payment, We will not accept Your Order and will not be liable for any delay or non-delivery.
7.6 Your card provider may charge You for using You card on our Website. Please check the terms and conditions with Your card provider carefully and in advance of submitting Your payment details.

We will not be responsible for any compensation if Goods which You order are not available for any reason.

We may also use third parties to do this. Information which You provide to Us may be disclosed to a registered credit reference agency which may keep a record of the information. By ordering from Us You agree to such checks. Please refer also to Our Privacy Policy. These measures are taken to protect You, to ensure Your shopping experience with Us is as secure as possible.
