Our acceptance of your order brings into existence a legally binding contract between us.

3 Accuracy of content
We have taken care in the preparation of the content of this website, in particular, to ensure that prices quoted are correct at the time of publishing and that all goods have been fairly described.

Goods ordered on ‘pre-order’ will be allocated to you as soon as they arrive in stock.
