You will only own the goods once they have been successfully delivered and when we have received cleared payment in full, and no other amounts are still due to us from you.

An acceptance of your order will take place on despatch of the goods ordered.

14. Age requirements for specific goods

15. Cancellation rights

Consumers have the legal right under the Distance Selling Regulations to cancel their order within seven working days starting the day after delivery of the goods (with the exception of any made to order items). Account customers may cancel their order by giving us notice of cancellation within thirty days of the receipt of goods. Notice may be given by email, post, telephone or fax. If you cancel because there is a problem with the goods, please provide full details of the problem, at the time of cancellation. On cancellation for whatever reason, you must return the goods to us at your cost unless we agree that you can dispose of them, in which case any instructions given by the manufacturer must be complied with if the goods are hazardous in any way. When goods are returned because they have been supplied incorrectly or they are faulty, we will meet the cost of their return, but we reserve the right to nominate the carrier.

Please note: Some items may be categorised as 'made to order' and as such special terms may apply. Please see the section 'Returns Policy - Custom Made / Non-returnable Goods' in our Returns Policy.
