4. How the contract is formed between you and Us

4.1 Orders for Products can be placed by clicking on "Buy Now" and following the instructions on screen. Orders may be submitted and processed in the English language only.

4.2 After placing an order, you will receive an e-mail from Us acknowledging that we have received your order ("Order Confirmation"). Please note that this does not mean that your order has been accepted. Your order constitutes an offer to Us to buy a Product. All orders are subject to acceptance by Us and we reserve the right to refuse any order at our sole discretion. The contract between us (Contract) will only be formed when we accept the order and allocate stock to fulfil it. You can check whether an order has been accepted by logging into your online account on the Website and checking the status of your order. All orders marked "Completed" have been accepted.

4.3 The Contract will relate only to those Products where the status is updated to "Completed". We will not be obliged to supply any other Products which may have been part of your order until their status is updated to "Completed".

4.4 WE WILL NOT ACCEPT YOUR ORDER AND ALLOCATE STOCK TO FULFILL IT UNTIL WE HAVE RECEIVED PAYMENT IN FULL. THIS MEANS DELIVERY WILL BE DELAYED UNTIL AFTER PAYMENT HAS BEEN RECEIVED. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THIS, PLEASE DO NOT SUBMIT ORDERS.

4.5 Please check the details of your order on the Checkout page carefully before submitting to ensure that they are correct and rectify any errors. If you identify an error in your order after submission, please contact the billing centre identified on your email acknowledgement for details of the applicable policy on cancellations and changes to orders. The contact details of the billing centres appear at the end of these terms and conditions.

4.6 We store records of orders online and you can view your order on the "My Account" section of our Website. However, it is important that you retain the Order Confirmation and print a copy of the terms and conditions displayed on the website at the time when you place your order.

5. Our status

5.1 Please note that we accept orders as agents on behalf of third party sellers, including Our group companies. The resulting legal contract is between you and that third party seller, and is subject to the terms and conditions of that third party seller, which they will advise you of directly. You should carefully review their terms and conditions applying to the transaction. We will disclose your customer information related to each transaction to the relevant third party seller.

5.2 We may also provide links on Our Website to the websites of other companies, whether affiliated with Us or not. We cannot give any undertaking that products you purchase from companies to whose website we have provided a link on Our Website will be of satisfactory quality, and any such warranties are DISCLAIMED by us absolutely. This DISCLAIMER does not affect your statutory rights against the third party seller.

5.3 All Products are subject to the supplier's terms and conditions for use which will be provided on delivery.

6. Availability and delivery

Your order will be fulfilled within a reasonable time of the date of the update of the status of your order to "Completed", unless there are exceptional circumstances in which case we will notify you of expected delivery dates. You agree that, where the Product is a service, service provision will commence as soon after payment as it is reasonably practicable for us to commence provision unless we expressly agree otherwise.

7. Risk and title

7.1 The Product items will be at your risk from the time of dispatch to you.

7.2 Ownership of the Product items will only pass to you when we receive full payment of all sums due in respect of the Products, including delivery charges.

8.1 The price of any Products will be as quoted on Our Website from time to time, except in cases of obvious error. This clause 8 takes precedence over any terms and conditions in payment contained in the terms and conditions of third party suppliers.

8.2 These prices include VAT but exclude delivery costs, which will be added to the total amount due.

8.3 Prices are liable to change at any time, but changes will not affect orders in respect of which we have already sent you a Dispatch Confirmation.

8.4 Our Website contains a large number of Products and it is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the Products listed on Our Website may be incorrectly priced. We will normally verify prices as part of Our dispatch procedures so that, where a Product's correct price is less than Our stated price, we will charge the lower amount when dispatching the Product to you. If a Product’s correct price is higher than the price stated on Our Website, we will normally, at Our discretion, either contact you for instructions before dispatching the Product, or reject your order and notify you of such rejection.

8.5 We are under no obligation to provide the Product to you at the incorrect (lower) price, even after we have sent you a Dispatch Confirmation, if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as a mis-pricing.

8.6 Payment for all Products must be by credit or debit card. We accept payment by Mastercard, Visa, Delta, Maestro and Solo cards. We will charge your credit or debit card prior to despatch of your order. Products will only be authorised for dispatch once payment is received by Us in full.

8.7 Where licences for products require annual renewal, we reserve the right to allocate renewals payments to the earliest outstanding invoice. Licence keys or authorisation codes will only be authorised for dispatch once payments for outstanding invoices have been received in full.

8.8 Discounts are limited to one discount voucher code per transaction. All Our discount campaigns are discretionary and we reserve the right to refuse a discount voucher code and to change discount levels or voucher validity dates without notice to you.
