Your product may vary slightly from those images.

13.2 You will have the opportunity to identify and correct input errors prior to making your order by clicking the button to edit the order on the final order confirmation screen.

13.3 If we are unable to accept your order, we will inform you of this by email, chat or account message and will not charge you for the product or, if payment has already been taken, promptly refund such payment. This might be because the product is out of stock, because we have identified an error in the price or description of the product or because we are unable to meet a requested delivery deadline.

14. PRICES

14.1 The price of the product (which includes VAT) will be the price indicated on the order pages when you placed your order. We take all reasonable care to ensure that the price of the product advised to you is correct. However please see clause 14.3 for what happens if we discover an error in the price of the product you order.

14.2 We may from time to time change the prices quoted on our Sites, but this will not affect any contract between you and us that is already in existence.

14.3 It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the products on the Sites may be incorrectly priced.

You will then have the option of continuing with the purchase at the correct price or to cancel the order. If we haven't been able to contact you using the details you provided during the order process, we will treat the order as cancelled and let you know in writing. If we accept and process your order where a pricing error is obvious and unmistakable and could reasonably have been recognised by you as a mispricing, we may end the contract, refund you any sums you have paid and require the return of any goods provided to you.

The offers contained within the Discount Progress Bar and/or CSA Kit Builder may be applied to customers on a personalised or generic basis, and are subject to removal and/or change from time to time entirely at our discretion without any requirement for us to notify you.

15.6 If you do not make any payment to us by the due date we may charge interest to you on the overdue amount at the rate of 2% a year above the base lending rate of the Bank of England from time to time. This interest shall accrue on a daily basis from the due date until the date of actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgment. You must pay us interest together with any overdue amount.

15.7 If you think an invoice is wrong please contact us promptly to let us know. You will not have to pay any interest until the dispute is resolved. Once the dispute is resolved we will charge you interest on correctly invoiced sums from the original due date.
