5. PRICING AND AVAILABILITY

We will wherever possible list information on the Site and on each Product information page, relating to the availability of Products We sell on the Site.  Except for the information we provide on a Product information page or elsewhere on the Site we cannot be more specific about Product availability.

As we process your order you will receive a prompt from us if the Product you wish to order is no longer available.  We may offer you the opportunity to purchase a Product of at least equivalent specification and value to the one you have attempted to order.  This will not happen if the Product you are trying to order is temporarily out of stock.

The Site contains a large number of Products and it is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the Products listed on the Site may be incorrectly priced.  We will normally verify prices as part of our order processing procedures so that, where a Product’s correct price is less than our stated price, we will charge you the lower amount and send you the Product.  However, we are under no obligation to sell the Product to you at the incorrect lower price if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as being incorrect.   If the correct price of the Product is higher than the price stated on the Site we will normally, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before dispatching the Product, or reject your order and notify you of such rejection.

Prices are liable to change at any time but changes will not affect orders in respect of which we have already sent you a confirmation of order.

Prices are inclusive of VAT
