3. OUR CONTRACT WITH YOU
3.1 How we will accept your order. Our acceptance of your order will take place when we email you to accept it, at which point a contract will come into existence between you and us.
3.2 If we cannot accept your order. If we are unable to accept your order, we will inform you of this and will not charge you for the product. This might be because the product is out of stock, because of unexpected limits on our resources which we could not reasonably plan for because we have identified an error in the price or description of the product or because we are unable to meet a delivery deadline you have specified.

7.3 We are not responsible for delays outside our control. If our supply of the products is delayed by an event outside our control then we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and we will take steps to minimise the effect of the delay. Provided we do this we will not be liable for delays caused by the event, but if there is a risk of substantial delay you may contact us to end the contract and receive a refund for any products you have paid for but not received.

If so, this will have been stated in the description of the products on the Website. If necessary, we will contact you to ask for this information. If you do not give us this information within a reasonable time of us asking for it, or if you give us incomplete or incorrect information, we may end the contract (and clause 10.2 will apply). We will not be responsible for supplying the products late or not supplying any part of them if this is caused by you not giving us the information we need within a reasonable time of us asking for it.

8. YOUR RIGHTS TO END THE CONTRACT
8.1 You can always end your contract with us. Your rights when you end the contract will depend on what you have bought, whether there is anything wrong with it, how we are performing and when you decide to end the contract:
8.1.1 If what you have bought is faulty or misdescribed you may have a legal right to end the contract (or to get the product repaired or replaced or to get some or all of your money back), see clause 11;
8.1.2 If you want to end the contract because of something we have done or have told you we are going to do (other than late delivery), see clause 8.2;
8.1.3 If you want to end the contract because we do not deliver on time,see clause 8.3;
8.1.4 If you have just changed your mind about the product, see clause 8.4. You may be able to get a refund if you are within the cooling-off period, but this may be subject to deductions and you will have to pay the costs of return of any products;
8.1.5 In all other cases (if we are not at fault and there is no right to change your mind), see clause 8.7.
8.2 Ending the contract because of something we have done or are going to do. If you are ending a contract for a reason set out at clause 8.2.1 to 8.2.5 below the contract will end immediately and we will refund you in full for any products which have not been provided and you may also be entitled to compensation. The reasons are:
8.2.1 we have told you about an upcoming change to the product or these terms which you do not agree to (see clauses 5 and 15 );
8.2.2 we have told you about an error in the price or description of the product you have ordered and you do not wish to proceed;
8.2.3 there is a risk that supply of the products may be significantly delayed because of events outside our control;
8.2.4 we have suspended supply of the products for technical reasons, or notify you we are going to suspend them for technical reasons; or
8.2.5 you have a legal right to end the contract because of something we have done wrong.
8.3 Your options if we deliver late
8.3.1 Your legal rights if we deliver late. You have legal rights if we deliver any products late. If we miss the delivery deadline for any products then you may treat the contract as at an end straight away if any of the following apply:
8.3.1.1 we have refused to deliver the products;
8.3.1.2 delivery within the delivery deadline was essential (taking into account all the relevant circumstances); or
8.3.1.3 you told us before we accepted your order that delivery within the delivery deadline was essential.
8.3.2 Setting a new deadline for delivery. If you do not wish to treat the contract as at an end straight away, or do not have the right to do so under clause 8.3.1, you can give us a new deadline for delivery, which must be reasonable, and you can treat the contract as at an end if we do not meet the new deadline.
8.3.3 Ending the contract for late delivery. If you do choose to treat the contract as at an end for late delivery under clause 8.3.1 or clause 8.3.2, you can cancel your order for any of the products or reject products that have been delivered. If you wish, you can reject or cancel the order for some of those products (not all of them), unless splitting them up would significantly reduce their value. After that we will refund any sums you have paid to us for the cancelled products and their delivery. If the products have been delivered to you, you will have to return them.
8.4 Exercising your right to change your mind without any reason. For most products bought online you have a legal right to change your mind within 14 days after the date of delivery and receive a refund.
8.5 When you don’t have the right to change your mind. You do not have a right to change your mind in respect of:
8.5.1 products sealed for health protection or hygiene purposes, where the seal has been broken after you receive them; and
8.5.2 any products which become mixed inseparably with other items after their delivery.
8.5.3 products which have been personalised (e.g. engraved products), unless they are faulty.
8.6 How long do I have to change my mind? How long you have depends on what you have ordered and how it is delivered. To meet the cancellation deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right to cancel before the cancellation period has expired.
8.6.1 If you buy products which will be delivered in a single delivery, you have 14 days after the day you (or someone you nominate) receives the products at the delivery address on your order.
8.6.2 If your products are split into several deliveries over different days, you have until 14 days after the day you (or someone you nominate) receive(s) the last delivery at the delivery address on your order to change your mind about the products.
8.7 Ending the contract where we are not at fault and there is no right to change your mind. If you do not have any other rights to end the contract (see clause 8.1), you can still contact us before it is completed and tell us you want to end it. If you do this the contract will end immediately and we will refund any sums paid by you for products not provided but we may deduct from that refund (or, if you have not made an advance payment, charge you) reasonable compensation for the net costs we will incur as a result of your ending the contract.

9.6 When your refund will be made. We will make any refunds due to you as soon as possible.

12.3 What happens if we got the price wrong. It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the products we sell may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices before accepting your order so that, where the product’s correct price at your order date is less than our stated price at your order date, we will charge the lower amount. If the product’s correct price at your order date is higher than the price stated on the Website, we will contact you for your instructions before we accept your order.

12.5 What to do if you think an invoice is wrong. If you think an invoice is wrong please contact us promptly to let us know.
12.6 The invoice will be sent in a digital format in the shipping confirmation e-mail. If for any reason you are unable to retrieve your email invoice, or have not received one, please contact the Customer Care service.
