The price of the products does not include the delivery charge which will be charged at the rates applicable at the date you place your order.

However please see Clause 11.3 for what happens if we discover an error in the price of the product you order.

11.2 Changes in the rate of VAT and other taxes and duties. 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. The VAT tax applicable to your order will depend on a number of factors which we will establish at the point of placing your order including the types of products ordered and where products are to be delivered. You are responsible for paying any import or similar duties which may be levied on the export or import of the products ordered by you.

If we don’t hear from you, we will treat your order as cancelled. If cancellation is after payment by you, we will refund you in full.

11.4 When you must pay and how you must pay. We accept payment with any of the following cards: Visa, MasterCard, Visa Debit, Maestro, PayPal and American Express. You must give us authority for payment at the time of order. All card holders are subject to validation checks and authorisation by the card issuer. We will not deliver any products prior to these checks and authorisations being completed. If your card issuer refuses to authorise payment to us, we cannot accept your order, and will not be liable for any delay or non-delivery. You must pay for the products before we dispatch them.

11.5 **Our right of set-off if you are a business customer. If you are a business customer you must pay all amounts due to us under these terms in full without any set-off, counterclaim, deduction or withholding (other than any deduction or withholding of tax as required by law).

If you do not make any payment to us by the due date we may charge interest to you on the overdue amount at the rate of 3% a year above the London Inter-Bank Offer Rate, or the nearest equivalent successor rate from time to time.
