- 4.2 Nothing provided by Us, including but not limited to sales and marketing literature, price lists and other documents, constitutes a contractual offer capable of acceptance. Your Order constitutes a contractual offer that We may, at Our sole discretion, accept. Our acknowledgement of receipt of Your Order does not mean that We have accepted it.

- 4.3 Where the Goods include bespoke elements for You such as logos, slogans, corporate images or names, We will provide You with artwork, and once you have approved the artwork, and notwithstanding clause 4.2, Your Order will be
deemed confirmed, and a legally binding Contract between Us and You will have been formed.

If We have taken payment, any such sums will be refunded to You as soon as possible and in any event within 28 working days.

5. Goods, Pricing and Availability
5.1 We make all reasonable efforts to ensure that all descriptions and graphical representations of Goods available from Us correspond to the actual Goods. Please note, however, the following:
- 5.1.1 images of Goods are for illustrative purposes only;
- 5.1.2 images and/or descriptions of packaging are for illustrative purposes only, and the actual packaging of Goods may vary; and
- 5.1.3 due to the nature of the Goods sold by Us, there may be minor variances in the size and dimensions between the actual Goods and their description.
- 5.2 Where We have provided You with samples of Goods prior to the placing by You of Your Order, and You have then placed such Order based on the samples, We will make all reasonable efforts to ensure that the actual Goods delivered correspond in all material respects with the samples, but You accept that there may be minor variances between the actual Goods and the samples. Any such variances will not change the main characteristics of the Goods and will not normally affect Your use of those Goods. Goods will not be considered as faulty or incorrect where the actual Goods delivered correspond in all material respects with the samples.
- 5.3 Please note that clauses 5.1 and 5.2 do not exclude Our responsibility for mistakes due to negligence on Our part and refer only to minor variations of the correct Goods. Please refer to clause 8 if You receive incorrect Goods (i.e. Goods that are not as described).
- 5.4 Minor changes may, from time to time, be made to certain Goods between Your Order being placed and Us processing that Order and dispatching the Goods, for example, to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements, or to address particular technical or security issues. Any such changes will not change any main characteristics of the Goods and will not normally affect Your use of those Goods. However, if any change is made that would affect Your use of the Goods, suitable information will be provided to You.
- 5.5 In some cases, it may be necessary for more significant changes to be made to the Goods. If any such changes are made and will affect Your Order, We will notify You in writing before the changes take effect.
- 5.6 We make all reasonable efforts to ensure that Our published prices for the Goods are correct at the time of publication. We reserve the right to change prices and to add, alter, or remove special offers from time to time and as necessary.
- 5.7 In the event that We have published incorrect pricing information, We will contact You in writing to inform You of the mistake. If the correct price is lower than that published when You made Your Order, We will simply charge You the lower amount and continue processing Your Order. If the correct price is higher, We will give You the option to purchase the Goods at the correct price. We will not proceed with processing Your Order in this case until You respond. If We
do not receive a response from You within 7 days, We will treat Your Order as cancelled and notify You of this in writing. In no event will We be required to supply the Goods to You at the incorrect price.
- 5.8 Our prices are exclusive of VAT. If the VAT rate changes between Your Order being placed and Us taking payment, the amount of VAT payable will be automatically adjusted when taking payment.

- 7.3 Notwithstanding that delivery has not been possible, a refund in respect of the Goods will not be given except with Our written approval which We may withhold at Our entire discretion. Where the Goods are bespoke for You or have been branded or decorated in accordance with Your instructions a refund will not be given in any circumstance.
