If our supply of the products is delayed by an event outside our control then we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and we will take steps to minimise the effect of the delay.

7.5 If you are not at home when the product is delivered our delivery agent will follow their usual procedure to inform you of the steps you should take to arrange a redelivery (if appropriate) or will indicate where your order has been left (i.e. with a neighbour or designated safe space).

7.6.2 delivery within the delivery deadline was essential (taking into account all
the relevant circumstances); or
7.6.3 you told us before we accepted your order that delivery within the delivery deadline was essential.
7.7 If you do not wish to treat the contract as at an end straight away, or do not have the right to do so under clause 7.7, you can give us a new deadline for delivery, which must be reasonable, and you can treat the contract as at an end if we do not meet the new deadline.
7.8 If you do choose to treat the contract as at an end for late delivery under clause 7.7 or clause 7.8, you can cancel your order for any of the products or reject products that have been delivered. If you wish, you can reject or cancel the order for some of those products (not all of them), unless splitting them up would significantly reduce their value. After that we will refund any sums you have paid to us for the cancelled products and their delivery.

We will contact you to tell you we are suspending supply of the products. We will not suspend the products where you dispute the unpaid invoice (see clause 12.7). We will not charge you for the products during the period for which they are suspended. As well as suspending the products we can also charge you interest on your overdue payments (see clause 12.6).  why is any of this required they will pay on point of order

8 YOUR RIGHTS TO END THE CONTRACT

8.1 Your rights when you end the contract will depend on what you have bought, whether there is anything wrong with it, how we are performing and when you decide to end the contract:
8.1.1 If what you have bought is faulty or misdescribed you may have a legal right to end the contract (or to get the product repaired we would never repair  or replaced or a service re-performed this wouldn’t happen either or to get some or all of your money back), see clause 11;
8.1.2 If you want to end the contract because of something we have done or have told you we are going to do, see clause 8.2;
8.1.3 If you have just changed your mind about the product, see clause 8.3. You may be able to get a refund if you are within the cooling-off period don’t believe there is a requirement for a cooling off period, but this may be subject to deductions and you will have to pay the costs of return of any products;
8.1.4 In all other cases, see clause 8.6.
8.2 If you are ending a contract for a reason set out at 8.2.1 to 8.2.5 below the contract will end immediately and we will refund you in full for any products which have not been provided and you may also be entitled to compensation. The reasons are:
8.2.1 we have told you about an upcoming change to the product or these terms which you do not agree to (see clause 6.2);
8.2.2 we have told you about an error in the price or description of the product you have ordered and you do not wish to proceed;
8.2.3 there is a risk that supply of the products may be significantly delayed because of events outside our control;
8.2.4 we have suspended supply of the products for technical reasons, or notify you we are going to suspend them for technical reasons, in each case for a period of more than 28 days; or
8.2.5 you have a legal right to end the contract because of something we have done wrong (including because we have delivered late (see clause 7.6).
8.3 Exercising your right to change your mind (Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013). For most products bought online you have a legal right to change your mind at any time from the date that we confirm your order by e-mail until the date 14 days after you receive the products (or the last products in the order if send in separate instalments) and receive a refund. These rights, under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, are explained in more detail in these terms. To cancel your contract you just need to let us know by calling our customer services on 08000 093 330.
8.4 You do not have a right to change your mind in respect of:
8.4.1 products sealed for health protection or hygiene purposes, once these have been unsealed after you receive them.  This means that you cannot change your mind once you have opened the products, although you can take them out of their delivery box without affecting your right to change your mind; and
8.4.2 any products which become mixed inseparably with other items after their delivery.
8.5 You have 14 days after the day you (or someone you nominate) receive the products, unless:
8.5.1 Your products are split into several deliveries over different days. In this case you have until 14 days after the day you (or someone you nominate) receive the last delivery to change your mind about the products.
8.5.2 Your products are for regular delivery over a set period. In this case you have until 14 days after the day you (or someone you nominate) receive the first delivery of the products.
8.6 Ending the contract where we are not at fault and there is no right to change your mind. Even if we are not at fault and you do not have a right to change your mind (see clause 8.1), you can still end the contract before it is completed, but you may have to pay us compensation. A contract for goods is completed when the product is delivered and paid for. If you want to end the contract in these circumstances, just contact us to let us know. The contract will end immediately and we will refund any sums paid by you for products not provided but we may deduct from that refund (or, if you have not made an advance payment, charge you) reasonable compensation for the net costs we will incur as a result of your ending the contract.

12.1 The price of the product (which includes VAT if it applies to the sale of the product) will be the price indicated on the order pages when you placed your order. We take all reasonable care to ensure that the price of the product advised to you is correct. However, prices are subject to change without notice (please see clause 12.4 for what happens if we discover an error in the price of the product you order).
12.2 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.

Please refer to HMRC VAT Notice 701/14 if you require any further information.

If the product’s correct price at your order date is higher than the price stated in our price list, we will contact you for your instructions before we accept your order. If we accept and process your order where a pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could reasonably have been recognised by you as a mispricing, we may end the contract, refund you any sums you have paid and require the return of any products provided to you.
12.5 We accept payment with VISA, MasterCard and Amex. Payment is due in full at the time of ordering.
