Placing an order does not guarantee acceptance.
A legally binding contract is formed only when we dispatch your order.
We reserve the right to refuse or cancel orders where:
- products are unavailable;
- pricing errors have occurred;
- payment cannot be authorised;
- fraud or misuse is suspected; or
- we are unable to fulfil the order.
If your order is cancelled after payment has been taken, you will receive a full refund.
7. Payment
Payment must be made in full at the time of ordering using one of the payment methods available on our website.
Orders will not be dispatched until payment has been successfully authorised.
8. Delivery
We currently deliver to Mainland UK only.
Delivery times are estimates and are not guaranteed.
Some heavy or bulky products may only be available through our local van delivery service. Where this applies, it will be clearly indicated on the product page.
If no one is available to accept delivery, additional delivery charges may apply for a rearranged delivery where permitted.
Risk in the goods passes to you upon delivery.
Ownership of the goods remains with us until payment has been received in full.

Consumers have the right to cancel eligible online purchases within 14 days of receiving their order under the Consumer Contracts Regulations.
To exercise your right to cancel, you must notify us within this period.
Unless the goods are faulty, damaged or incorrectly supplied, you are responsible for the cost of returning unwanted items.
Returned products must be unused and returned, where reasonably possible, in their original packaging.
Your statutory rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 remain unaffected.
Please see our separate Returns & Refunds Policy for full details.
