- Our Products
- 1 Products may vary from the pictures on our Site – The images of the Products on our Site are for illustrative purposes only. Although we have made every effort to display the colours accurately, we cannot guarantee that a device’s display of the colours accurately reflects the colour of the Products. Your Products may vary slightly from those images.
- 2 Product packaging may vary from that shown in images on our Site.
- Changes
- 1 Your rights to make changes to your Order – If you wish to make a change to the Products you have ordered please contact us. We will let you know if the change is possible. If it is possible, we will let you know about any changes to the price of the Products, the timing of supply or anything else which would be necessary as a result of your requested change and ask you to confirm whether you wish to go ahead with the change. If we cannot make the change or the consequences of making the change are unacceptable to you, you may want to end the Contract (see Clause 9 – Your rights to end the Contract).
- 2 Our rights to make changes – We may change Products:
- 2.1 to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements; and/or
- 2.2 to implement minor technical adjustments and improvements. These changes will not affect your use of the Product.
- Price and payment
- 1 Where to find the price for the Product – The price of a Product (which includes VAT) will be the price indicated on the order pages when you placed your Order. We take all reasonable care to ensure that the price of the Product advised to you is correct. However please see Clause 7.3 for what happens if we discover an error in the price of a Product you have ordered.
- 2 If the rate of VAT changes between the date of your Order and the date we take payment for the Product, we will adjust the rate of VAT that you pay to account for such changes.
- 3 Incorrect pricing – It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the Products we sell may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices before accepting your Order so that, where the Product’s correct price at your Order date is less than our stated price at your Order date, we will charge the lower amount. If the Product’s correct price at your Order date is higher than the price stated to you, we will contact you for your instructions before we accept your Order. If we accept and process your Order where a pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could reasonably have been recognised by you as a mispricing, we may end the Contract, refund you any sums you have paid and require the return of any Products provided to you.
- 4 We accept payment by most major credit or debit cards, Stripe and both PayPal Pay Now and PayPal Credit.
- 5 Unless your chosen Payment Method collects payment from you immediately upon placing your Order, you must pay for the Products before we dispatch them.
- 6 We may charge interest if you are late in paying for Products – If you do not make any payment to us by the due date we may charge interest to you on the overdue amount at the rate of 8% a year above the base lending rate of the Bank of England from time to time. This interest shall accrue on a daily basis from the due date until the date of actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgment. You must pay us interest together with any overdue amount.
- 7 If you think an invoice is wrong please contact us promptly to let us know. You will not have to pay any interest until the dispute is resolved. Once the dispute is resolved we will charge you interest on correctly invoiced sums from the original due date.
- Coupon Policy
- 1 We may issue coupon codes which can be used at checkout to provide a discount to your order. When coupon codes are issued, they are issued with the purpose of being used by a specific pre-agreed user, e.g. an authorised car club member, etc. If a coupon code is used outside or its intended use, the code will be rejected after the order is placed and also our contract may be ended, resulting in the cancellation of your order.
- Delivery of the Products
- 1 The costs of delivery will be as displayed to you on our Site and will depend on the method of delivery you have chosen.

Provided we do this we will not be liable for delays caused by the event, but if there is a risk of substantial delay you may contact us to end the Contract and receive a refund for any Products you have paid for but not received.
