products. All orders are subject to acceptance by us and such acceptance will
be confirmed by sending you an e-mail confirming that the product has been
given for dispatch ("Dispatch Confirmation"). A contract for the
purchase of a product between us ("Contract") will only be deemed to
have been entered into when we send you the Dispatch Confirmation. The Contract

products that may be part of your order until we have confirmed the dispatch of
those products in a separate Dispatch Confirmation.

We shall have no liability to you or to any third party for the withdrawal of any products from this website, whether sold or not, or for the removal or editing of any material or content of the website or
for
refusing to process or accept an order after we have sent you an Order
Confirmation.

If, after 7
days from the time your order is ready for delivery, the said order has still
not been delivered for reasons beyond our control, we will consider that you
wish to cancel the Contract and the Contract will be considered terminated. As
a result of the termination of the Contract, we will refund the full amount
paid for the Products in question as soon as possible and in any event within
