Order Confirmation:
- The customer is responsible for verifying the accuracy of ordered goods and is strongly advised to meticulously review the order confirmation before the scheduled delivery.
Delivery:
- Delivery dates, while approximate, may be subject to change due to circumstances beyond the seller's control.
- If the buyer refuses or fails to accept the delivery of goods, the seller reserves the right to impose a restocking fee or request full payment for the goods. Additionally, the seller will assume custody of the goods at the buyer's risk, with associated storage costs to be borne by the buyer. After three months, the seller retains the right to dispose of the goods.
- Returns are accepted with us reserving the right to charge 15% as a restocking charge.
- The seller maintains ownership of all goods supplied to the buyer until full payment has been received, whether for the goods themselves or any other outstanding amounts.

- Disputes arising under this contract shall not absolve the buyer of their obligation to make payment, and deductions from the sums owed to the seller are not permissible on the grounds of dispute.
- In case of delayed payment by the buyer beyond the stipulated due date, the seller reserves the right to suspend all deliveries without prior notice. Additionally, interest charges will be applied to the buyer on a daily basis at a rate of 8% over the Bank of England base rate, in compliance with the late payment of commercial debts regulations 2002 & 2013. Alternatively, the seller may issue a notice to the buyer, demanding immediate payment for all supplied goods, regardless of the due date.
