- 7. Price and payment
- The price of the Product(s) will be as quoted on our Website from time to time, except in cases of obvious error. Product prices include VAT at the prevailing rate. The price quoted on our Website for Product(s) excludes delivery charges which are quoted separately on our Website.
- Product prices and delivery charges are subject to change at any time, but changes will not affect orders in respect of which we have already sent you a Dispatch Confirmation.
- Our Website contains a large number of Product(s) and it is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the Product(s) listed on our Website may be incorrectly priced. We will normally verify prices as part of our dispatch procedures so that, where a Product's correct price is less than our stated price, we will charge the lower amount when dispatching the Product to you. If a Product's correct price is higher than the price stated on our Website, we will normally, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before dispatching the Product, or reject your order and notify you that we are rejecting it. If the price of the Product(s) is obviously an error and could have reasonably been recognized by you as an error, we do not have to provide the Product(s) to you at the incorrect (lower) price.
