3 Our contract with you
How we will accept your order. After placing your order, you will receive an email from us confirming your order number and the products that you have ordered. This email is automatically generated by our site and does not mean that your order has been accepted by us. Our acceptance of your order will only take place when we email you with a shipping confirmation confirming that your products have been dispatched to you, at which point a contract will come into existence between you and us.
If we cannot accept your order. If we are unable to accept your order, we will inform you of this and will refund you for any products you have paid for. 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 existing stock has been placed on hold due to a quality concern or, we have identified an error in the price or description of the product, or because our ecommerce authorisation or fraud screening service provider advises us to decline to accept your order or because we are unable to meet a delivery deadline you have specified.
Your order number. We will assign an order number to your order and tell you what it is as set out in clause 3.1. It will help us if you can tell us the order number whenever you contact us about your order.

We will pass on changes in the rate of VAT. If the rate of VAT changes between your order date and the date we supply the product, we will adjust the rate of VAT that you pay, unless you have already paid for the product in full before the change in the rate of VAT takes effect.
What happens if we got the price wrong? It is always possible that some of the products we sell may be incorrectly priced on our site. We will normally check prices before dispatching your order so that, where the products correct price at your order date is less than our stated price at your order date, we will refund the difference between the correct price and our stated price. If the product's correct price at your order date is higher than the price stated to you, we will contact you for your instructions before we accept your order. If we accept and process your order where a pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could reasonably have been recognised by you as a mispricing, we may end the contract, refund you any sums you have paid and require the return of any goods provided to you.

This interest shall accrue on a daily basis from the due date until the date of actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgment. You must pay us interest together with any overdue amount.
