The Order Confirmation will contain details of your Order, the Price and an estimate of the delivery time for the Order. It is your responsibility to contact Us and notify Us of any error or mistake with the Order as soon as reasonably practicable. Failure to do so may lead to the incorrect Order being sent out to you.

Despite Our best efforts, some of the Products listed on the Site may be incorrectly priced or the price may increase between your order and Our acceptance of Your order.
