• A contract is formed between us when we notify you by e-mail, first class post or facsimile that your order has been accepted. Your order will not be accepted until we receive authorisation of your credit card payment, your cheque has been cleared, or we have agreed credit account terms with you. We will not accept orders from you if your address is not within the United Kingdom. You may not vary or cancel your order once it has been accepted.
