2. How to conclude a Contract with us
2.1. These are the steps you need to take to conclude a Contract with us.
(A) Check variable information such as prices
2.2. We will display on our Website certain variable information which you will need to know before you place your Order, such as the range and descriptions of Products and Services and their current prices (exclusive of VAT). This information may also be available outside the Website, for example in printed documentation or supplied over the telephone by our sales staff.
2.3. Note that this variable information is known as an "invitation to treat" and not a contractual offer from us which you may accept. This means we reserve the right to correct any errors in that information without any liability to you. It also means that in no circumstances will we be contractually bound to supply you with Products or Services on the basis of any incorrect information, even if that information is repeated in your Order.
(B) Make sure you read and understand our terms
2.4. It is your responsibility to read the legal terms on our Website carefully and to raise any problems with us before you place your Order. That includes these Conditions, our terms of use and privacy policy and any Specific Terms that are available on our Website.
2.5. Please note that our online shopping facility is intended for businesses and not Consumers and that you may not use our online shopping facility if you are under 18 years of age. If you accept the legal terms referred to in Condition 2.4 on behalf of a corporate buyer, you represent that you are authorised to do so. If you are not so authorised, nor deemed in law to have such authority, you assume sole personal liability for the obligations set out in those legal terms.
(C) Complete your Order
2.6. You will be responsible for selecting the Products and/or Services you wish to buy, for supplying your delivery address, for telling us how you wish to pay and for giving us any other information we request to enable us to fulfil your Order and comply with the Contract. All information you submit to us must be adequate, relevant, accurate and up to date.2.7. You may pay online by credit or debit card or ask us to send you an invoice. If you choose to pay by credit or debit card, we will check to see whether the transaction is authorised. If you ask to pay by invoice, we will post you a paper invoice, which you must pay within 14 days of the date of the invoice.
2.8. When you have completed your Order, you will be shown a copy on screen. It is your responsibility to check your Order carefully to identify any errors and to correct them prior to placing your Order. The Website allows you to cancel your draft Order, and to edit any details and once you have finished checking and correcting your Order, please print out a copy before placing it.
(D) Place your Order
2.9. You may place your Order by clicking on the "Buy Now" button.
2.10. We will acknowledge receipt of your Order on the Website and, if you request it, by e-mail, in each case without undue delay. This is not our Acceptance of your Order, but a confirmation of its receipt.
(E) Wait for our Acceptance of your Order
2.11. You may not assume we have accepted your Order until we send you an Acceptance. Only if and when you receive our Acceptance will we have made a binding legal Contract with you.
2.12. You may receive an acknowledgement from our payment processor, advising you whether or not your credit or debit card payment has been authorised. This acknowledgment relates to your payment only and is not our Acceptance of your Order.
2.13. We will be entitled to refuse to accept your Order if in our sole discretion we consider it necessary. If that happens we will let you know as soon as we can. If we accept your Order, we will send you an Acceptance without undue delay.
