4. Order Process
4.1 The advertising of products on our website constitutes an “invitation to treat” rather than a contractual offer.
4.2 No contract will come into force between you and us unless and until we accept your order in accordance with the procedure set out in this section 4 (Order Process).
4.3 To enter into a contract through our website to purchase products from us, the following steps must be taken: you must add the products you wish to purchase to your shopping cart and then proceed to the checkout. If you are an existing customer, you will be given the option to log in to your account, where your personal information on the preference of payment method, address details, and payment information may be saved. For more information on how this personal data is stored, please visit our privacy policy.
Once you proceed to the checkout stage of the site, you will be asked to provide your email address, personal details and delivery address. This data is used for the purpose of facilitating your order with us and will not be used for any other purposes, such as marketing, without your explicit and recorded consent. Please note that this data will be used to contact you with updates about your order. These are considered transactional updates and constitute a component of the order fulfilment process.
You will be required to choose your preferred method of delivery. The options available to you for your purchase will be provided to you. Please note that we offer free delivery on orders over the value of GBP 75.00 to addresses within the United Kingdom. You must select your preferred method of delivery and confirm your order. We cannot provide you with a delivery method that is not provided to you at this point in the process.
Upon confirmation of your chosen delivery method, you will be transferred to our payment method page. Here you will be presented with the payment method options available to you for this purchase. Please note that we will not accept a method of payment for chosen goods that are not presented to you during the payment stage of the checkout process. After selecting your method of payment, you will need to input the details of your payment method into the required fields.
The details of your order can be found in the order summary within the pages of the checkout process. This will detail the total cost of your order, including postage. Taxes are applied at the point when you place your chosen items into your basket. The amount of tax is shown here for your information. Note that the order total amount includes any taxes charged for the purchase.
When you place your order, our payment service provider will handle your payment. Once your payment is accepted, we will send you an initial acknowledgement; once we have checked whether we can meet your order, we will send you an order confirmation via email. It is at this point that your order will become a binding contract. Alternatively, if we cannot meet your order, we will send you an email to let you know.
4.4 You will have the opportunity to identify and correct input errors before making your order by reviewing the details in your bag. Before placing your order, you will have the option to check and, if required, amend your delivery address and shipping method. Please note that once you place your order, you will not be able to edit your order details, delivery address and shipping method.
4.5 Customers with a valid promotional code will have the option to apply the code within the checkout process on the payment page. Promotional codes will automatically amend your order prices where applicable. Any terms and conditions of the promotion will be presented to you at the point when the promotion is offered.

6.5 In addition to the price of the products, you may have to pay a delivery charge, which will be notified to you before the contract of sale comes into force.

7.1 You must, during the checkout process, pay the prices of the products you order.
7.2 Payments may be made by any of the permitted methods specified on our website.
