2.2 If we accept the Order, we will notify acceptance to you by online electronic means ("Confirmation") to the email address you have given to us on ordering. The Order will then be fulfilled by the date set out in the Confirmation or, if the Confirmation does not contain such a date, within 30 days of the date we sent the Confirmation. A legally binding contract will be formed between us at the time of sending the Confirmation.
3. Terms of Sale
3.1 If we accept your Order we agree to supply the goods ("the Products") from this website which you specify ("the Products").
3.2 Nothing in these terms excludes or limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, or for fraudulent misrepresentation. Subject to the preceding sentence:

4.3 Each Price is the price in force at the date and time of your Order. Any of the Prices may change before or after you place an Order. We try to ensure that the Prices are accurate but the price on your Order will need to be validated by us as part of the acceptance procedure (see clause 2.2). We shall inform you if a Product's correct Price is higher than that stated in your Order and, if so, we give you the right to either reconfirm your Order at the correct price or cancel the Order.

You must pay for the Products by credit or debit card at the time you place the Order, at which time you will be notified of the current Price. Your card will only be debited once we have accepted the Order. We regret we are unable to accept American Express.

If you've changed your mind about your purchase, please return it in its original condition with proof of purchase and we'll exchange or refund it. Unless faulty, this should be within 30 days of receiving your order.
