We will notify you when a third party is involved in a transaction, and we may disclose your personal information related to that transaction to the third party seller.

5.             Consumer rights

5.1          If you are contracting as a consumer, you may cancel a Contract at any time within 14 working days, beginning on the day after you received the Products. In this case, you will receive a full refund of the price paid for the Products in accordance with our refunds policy (set out in clause 10 below).  A refund will only be given for Products which are unused, and for which you are able to show proof of purchase.

5.2          To cancel a Contract, you must inform us in writing. You must also return the Products to us as soon as reasonably practicable, and at your own cost.  You have a legal obligation to take reasonable care of the Products while they are in your possession. If you fail to comply with this obligation, we may have a right of action against you for compensation.

5.3          You will not have any right to cancel a Contract for the supply of any Products which have been used.

6.             Availability and Delivery

6.1          All quoted delivery dates and times are estimates and although we will try our best to meet them we will not be responsible if we are unable to do so.

8.2          The prices shown online show VAT included and excluded.

8.3          Product prices and delivery charges are liable to change at any time, but changes will not affect orders in respect of which we have already sent you a Dispatch Confirmation.

8.4          Our site contains a number of Products and it is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the Products listed on our site may be incorrectly priced.  We will normally verify prices as part of our dispatch procedures so that, where a Product's correct price is less than our stated price, we will charge the lower amount when dispatching the Product to you.  If a Product’s correct price is higher than the price stated on our site, we will normally, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before dispatching the Product, or reject your order and notify you that we are rejecting it.

8.5          If the pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could have reasonably recognised by you as an error, we do not have to provide the Products to you at the incorrect (lower) price.

8.6          Payment for all Products must be by credit or debit card.  We accept payment from all credit or debit cards except American Express, Laser & Paypal.  We will charge your credit or debit card, and then dispatch your order.

In this case, we will refund the price of the Product in full, and any applicable delivery charges. However, you will be responsible for the cost of returning the item to us.

(b)        for any other reason (for instance, because you have notified us in accordance with clause 22that you do not agree to a change in these terms and conditions or in any of our policies, or because you consider that the Product is defective), you must return the product to us within 14 days of the Dispatch Confirmation being sent to you, we will then examine the returned Product and will notify you if you are eligible for a refund via e-mail within a reasonable period of time.  We will usually process any refund that may be due to you as soon as possible and, in any case, within 30 days of the day we confirmed to you via e-mail that you were entitled to a refund.
