All products featured on our site are subject to availability. We will endeavour to make it clear where Products offered are available for a limited time or in limited numbers.

We will keep you informed by email if any of the Products which you have ordered are unavailable or there are delays with ordering/dispatching them.

Some Products may be made available for pre-order which means they will not be dispatched until the scheduled release date. We will send you an e-mail confirming the date on which this Product is dispatched. If you ordered pre-order Products and Products that are already released in one order, we will dispatch your complete order until all Products are released.

We use our best efforts to ensure the prices of Products displayed on our site are correct. However, our site contains a number of Products and it is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the Products listed on our site 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 may at our discretion charge the lower amount when dispatching the Product to you. If a Product's correct price is higher than the price stated on our site at the time you placed your order, we will normally, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before dispatching the Product (ie to confirm your order and that you wish to proceed at the correct price), or reject your order and notify you of such rejection.
9.3
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 pricing mistake. We reserve the right to withdraw from the contract including any accepted Contract in the case of obvious and unmistakable pricing errors.
