That acceptance will be complete at the time we send the Despatch Confirmation E-mail to you. Any products on the same order which we have not confirmed in a Despatch Confirmation E-mail to have been dispatched do not form part of that contract.

As we process your order, we will inform you by e-mail if any products you order turn out to be unavailable. Please note that despatch estimates are just that. They are not guaranteed despatch times and should not be relied upon as such.
Despite our best efforts, a small number of products in our catalogue maybe mispriced. Rest assured, however, that we verify prices as part of our Despatch procedures. If a product’s correct price is lower than our stated price, we charge the lower amount and send you the product.
