If we are unable to accept your order for any reason, we will inform you of this in writing and will not charge you for the product and/or service. This might be because the product is out of stock, because of unexpected limits on our resources which we could not reasonably plan for, because there is a problem with your payment details, because we have identified an error in the price or description of the product, because your property is not suitable in terms of access, deliver, installation or the products you have ordered or, we are unable to meet a delivery deadline you have specified.
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.
We supply products within the UK Mainland and, subject to our agreement, we may supply products to other countries in Europe.

This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors; for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; for breach of your legal rights in relation to the products, including the right to receive products which are: as described and match information we provided to you and any sample or model seen or examined by you; of satisfactory quality; fit for any particular purpose made known to us; and for defective products under the Consumer Protection Act 1987.

Each of the paragraphs of these terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.
If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking this contract, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date. For example, if you miss a payment and we do not chase you but we continue to provide the products and/or services, we can still require you to make the payment at a later date.
These terms are governed by English law and either one of us can only bring legal proceedings in respect of the products only in the English courts.
