The site contains a large number of products and it is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the Products listed on the Site may be incorrectly priced.  We will normally verify prices as part of our order processing procedures so that, where a product’s correct price is less than our stated price, we will charge you the lower amount and send you the product.  However, we are under no obligation to sell the product to you at the incorrect lower price if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as being incorrect.   If the correct price of the product is higher than the price stated on the site we will normally, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before despatching the product, or reject your order and notify you of such rejection.
