2 TERMS

2.1 The terms set out here will apply to all contracts, and if there are any additional negotiations as to terms or additional documentation allegedly forming part of a contract, but inconsistent with it, then these contract conditions will prevail, in the event of a dispute. This shall not exclude or limit the liability of either party for fraudulent misrepresentation.

2.2 Clients placing an order on our website, which is accepted by us, form a legally binding contract, on the terms and conditions set out here.

2.3 If an individual places an order on our website, on behalf of a company for whom they are working, our contract will be with their company. Consequently, any individuals placing orders with our website must ensure they have the necessary authority and capacity to contract on behalf of their employers, and must make the relevant checks before placing an order. No cancellation will be permitted on the basis there was no authority to enter a contract.

2.4 All clients entering a contract, other than in a personal capacity, must identify on whose behalf they are purporting to act and the basis for their alleged contracting capacity. Failure to properly state the identity of the purchaser, will result in a contract being formed with the individual entering the contract, and not their alleged principal.

2.5 All clients must be over the age of 18, and not be disentitled by any legal or other proceedings from entering a personal contract, or on behalf of a declared principal. If the age of majority in the country of domicile of the client is a higher age, then that higher age is the minimum permitted age for the purpose of this reservation.

3 FEES AND CHARGES

3 All purchase fees and other charges, including postal and/or insurance charges shall be payable in advance. No goods will be dispatched unless the vendor is in receipt of cleared funds. If the client is tendering payment by personal or other cheque, the goods will be dispatched after notification from the vendor¿s bank that the funds have cleared, or within 10 working days, whichever is the sooner. VAT at the prevailing rate will be payable on all purchases where applicable, and will be added to the sale price.

4 CONTRACT FORMATION

4.1 A contract is formed between the vendor and the client when the vendor accepts an order placed on our website. Until the offer is formally accepted, the vendor reserves the right to consider the client¿s order as an ¿invitation to treat¿ , which will not form the basis of a binding contract until formally accepted by the vendor.
4.2 The vendor offers the goods and services on the website in good faith, and as available for purchase, but reserves the right to withdraw items from the sale procedures if they are otherwise sold before a binding contract of sale with a client has been formed.
