As a small business, we have tried to make our website clean, functional and easy to use but there are times when legal matters come into play and we are obliged to lay out the T&Cs. If you have any problems or enquiries about any element of our site we would welcome you to get in touch with us via email or our contact form. If you enjoy reading about cancellation rights or our responsibility to take the best pictures of the products we sell, then knock yourself out. Maybe get a cuppa as it could take a while...
Our Agreement
When you place an order with us, you are making an offer to buy goods. Once we have reviewed your order and checked the price and availability of goods we will e-mail you to confirm that we accept your order.
In the unlikely event that your items are out of stock or a price discrepancy has occurred, we will notify you as soon as we can and allow you the option to cancel your order or purchase at the revised price. Prices are as stated on the website and are subject to change at any time without notice.
We have made every effort to display accurately the colours of the products that appear on our website. However, we cannot guarantee that your monitor's display of any colour will accurately reflect the colour of the actual goods. All sizes and measurements are as accurate as possible but sizes may occasionally differ slightly from those listed.
Payment
We use secure payment facilities for online purchases. You can pay for your order by Paypal, Paypal accepts most major credit and debit cards and does not require a Paypal account if you do not already have one. All prices quoted on our website are in UK pounds and include Value Added Tax at the current rate where applicable. All credit/debit cardholders are subject to validation checks and authorisation by the card issuer.
