When you are ready to proceed to payment of your order, you will be taken to a portal operated by our payment processing provider, in order to complete the payment of your order.
After you have placed an order and made your payment via Worldpay, you will receive an order confirmation e-mail from us acknowledging that we have received your order, after which a binding contract will be formed between us (the "Contract").
If we cannot accept your order
We take steps to ensure that the Product availability information on our website is correct. However, there is a small chance that the Product availability information on our website may not be accurate.
If this occurs and we are unable to supply you with a Product after we have accepted your order, for example because that Product is not in stock or no longer available or because we cannot meet your requested delivery date or because of an error in the price on our website as referred to below, we will inform you of this by e-mail. We will not dispatch your order and we will instruct Worldpay to issue you a full refund.

We will assign an order number to your order and tell you what it is when we accept your order. It will help us if you can tell us the order number whenever you contact us about your order.

Your Product may vary slightly from those images.
Products packaging may vary
The packaging of the Products may vary from that shown in images on our website.
Use by dates
