1. Security & Order Confirmation
When You pay by credit or debit card, Your details are handled by PayPal or DOJO on a secure server using encryption.
When You place an order to purchase a product We will send You an e-mail confirming receipt of Your order and containing the details of Your order, including transaction and order reference numbers. Your order represents an offer to Us to purchase a product which is accepted by Us when We dispatch your order.
When We accept Your order, We will send a Dispatch Confirmation E-mail or note. Regardless of the currency you have selected the base currency will be in £ Sterling, on occasions there may be errors in the order confirmation, the amount charged at checkout will be the correct amount.
Any products on the same order which We have not confirmed in a Dispatch Confirmation E-mail or note to have been dispatched do not form part of that contract.
If You have incorrectly entered Your email address Your confirmation and despatch email may fail. So long as payment has been processed successfully this will in no way affect Your order.
Failure by Us to send a receipt confirmation email or despatch confirmation email in no way invalidates Your offer or Our acceptance of your offer.
 
2. Postage and Packaging
1st and 2nd class and courier P&P prices are for orders to UK mainland ONLY. If You have special delivery directions, please leave details in the appropriate box at the checkout stage.
If we have to re-direct the items a charge may be made to cover that cost.
Full Post Codes are needed for each order. If You provide an incorrect address, including the postcode, We do not accept any responsibility for a non-delivery of an order due to an incorrect address.
We try to despatch orders the same day if they are received before 12:00pm (Monday to Friday) sometimes this is not possible. Orders can sometimes take 2 - 7 days to be dispatched.
Orders received on Friday will not be sent until Monday regardless of postage method, This is because We do not want Your products sitting in a hot/damp warehouse over the weekend.
In hot or extremely cold weather, We reserve the right to delay Your order until the weather has moderated. In extreme situations this can delay orders for several days. We will notify You of any such delay by Email or by publishing details on our Web Sites. Any items that are incorrectly addressed and returned will be refunded minus the postage and transaction fees.
For urgent orders We will contact You for authority to send despite prevailing weather conditions. If You authorise such dispatch We cannot accept any liability for damage or loss.
Time is not of the essence in relation to this contract.
