Assuming that this amount has already been paid, we will reimburse the customer by crediting your bank account within ten (10) days from payment of the Products that have become unavailable.
8.2 We take every care to ensure that the description and specification of our products are correct at the time of publication. However, while the photographs and images of the Products are a close representation, we cannot accept any responsibility for any variation caused by the browser software or computer system used by you. To the extent permitted by applicable law, we disclaims all warranties, express or implied, as to the accuracy of the information contained in any of the materials on this website.
8.3 Products can only be delivered to the United Kingdom or France at the delivery address that you stated when ordering the Products.
8.4 Subject always to the provisions of clause 6, Products are delivered within an average of between 2 (two) to 6 (six) days from the date we send you the Dispatch Confirmation, depending on the geographic area and mode of transport chosen by us. Delivery days are calculated in working days i.e. excluding weekends and public holidays. Orders confirmed by you on Friday afternoon, Saturday or Sunday are processed and, where appropriate, confirmed by us on the next business day.
8.5 Any delay in delivery will not give rise to any right to damages or deduction of any kind whatsoever, or a right to cancel a current order (this does not affect your Consumer Rights under clause 7 above), where this delay arises either due to your acts, a fact that is unforeseeable and insurmountable, due to a third party to the contract or in the event of force majeure as defined in clause 18 below.
8.6 The orders are delivered by Chronopost International, represented in UK by DDP or by another carrier at our choice.
8.7 For orders in excess of £120, delivery is free.

10.3 The delivery charges are calculated automatically according to weight and volume, including shipping and packaging. The amount of the delivery charges is stated in the shopping basket, in the order summary and on the invoice.
10.4 Prices are liable to change at any time, but changes will not affect Products which have been dispatched to you.
10.5 Our site contains a large number of Products and it is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the Products listed on our site 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 site, we will normally, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before dispatching the Product, or reject your order and notify you of such rejection. We are under no obligation to provide the Product to you at the incorrect (lower) price, even after we have sent you a Dispatch Confirmation, if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as a mis-pricing.
10.6 Payment for all Products must be by credit or debit card approved by us. Payment is made through a secure electronic payment service provided by a banking institution. The bank data entered by you (card number, security code and expiry date of the card) when paying by credit or debit card are immediately encrypted and are not subject to any transmission to us.
10.7 The amount charged to your credit or debit card will be equal to the total price of the Products shipped to your delivery address together with, where applicable, the delivery charges.
10.8 You warrant to us that you have the authorisations to make a payment by credit or debit card. As part of the fight against fraud on the Internet, the information relating to all orders can be transferred to any third party for verification.
