We take all reasonable care to ensure that the prices of Products are correct at the time when the relevant information was entered onto the system.

We will not process your order until we have your instructions. If we are unable to contact you using the contact details you provided during the order process, we will treat the order as cancelled and notify you in writing. Please note that if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could have reasonably been recognized by you as a miss-pricing, we do not have to provide the Products to you at the incorrect (lower) price.
