General
Your order will initially be treated as an offer to buy the items you selected,
and will only be accepted once we have confirmed that the items are still
available and that payment has been received. Due to the fact that
most of works we sell are limited in quantity, there may be occasions where an
item is already sold but still appears available in the web site. If you
order an item that has already been sold, your order will still be processed and
your credit/debit card debited, but you will be credited the money back as soon
as possible.
We reserve the right to refuse to supply goods. We also reserve the right
to change or update the information, specifications, prices, and descriptions of
products listed in our web site at anytime. We endeavour to ensure that
the information given on our web site at any one time is accurate.
However, we cannot guarantee that the content will be error-free but we will

inability to access the web site and any failure to complete a transaction. Nor
do we accept liability for any indirect or consequential loss of any kind arising out of the use of the web site or for any

you of the correct price and give you the opportunity to cancel the order. All
prices shown on our website exclude postage and packaging charges, and these
will be added to the goods total when you check out in our on-line shop.
