Ordering

You can send in a purchase order by post or email detailing your purchase requirements.

In all cases, these terms and conditions will apply.

Checking and correcting

It is up to you to check that your order is correct. If however, you realise that you have made a mistake then do call us on +353 (0)1 460 4888 and we will see whether it is possible to intercept the order before it is accepted by us.

After you place an order, you will receive an e-mail from us acknowledging that we have received your order. However, please note that this does not mean that your order has been accepted.

Orders cannot be withdrawn without our agreement.

By submitting your order by any of the above methods you are irrevocably offering to buy the goods on these terms and conditions.

Acceptance of orders

We are not obliged to supply goods or services to you until we have confirmed acceptance of your order – we do this by email under the heading “Order Confirmation”. The contract between us will only be formed when we send you an Order Confirmation.

Risk

Risk of loss or damage to the goods passes to you when they leave our premises. If you want us to arrange insurance in transit please contact us before ordering (see Damaged Goods in clause 16 below).

Ordering allows us to use your personal data

By submitting your order you are also allowing us to use your personal details for the purposes of supplying the goods or services concerned (including passing your details onto couriers and other subcontractors for the purpose of fulfilling your order) and other purposes as set out in our Privacy Statement.

Quotations

You can get a quote by phone, post or email. Quotes clearly state the date until which they are valid. Should you decide to alter your requirements in any way then the original quote will expire and a new quotation should be requested.

3. Pricing

We try to keep our prices as simple to understand as possible. However, you should bear in mind that prices are always subject to change. Prices shown in our print advertising, emails and other marketing communications are submitted some days or weeks prior to publication and therefore may be subject to change.

The prices of the products may be as quoted on our site from time to time. We use our best efforts to ensure that the prices of products are correct at the time when the relevant information was entered onto the system.

Reseller Partners can access their current pricing through their Account Manager or by requesting automatic daily price feeds to be set up.

It is always possible that, despite our reasonable efforts, some of the products may be incorrectly priced. If we discover an error in the price of the products you have ordered we will inform you of this error and we will give you the option of continuing to purchase the product at the correct price or cancelling your order. We will not process your order until we have your instructions. If we are unable to contact you using the contact details you provided during the order process, we will treat the order as cancelled and notify you in writing. Please note that if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as a mispricing, we do not have to provide the products to you at the incorrect (lower) price.

Any delivery charges are shown as a separate line on every order. You can get a quote for delivery charges outside mainland UK by specifying your delivery destination as part of your quotation.
