14.1 The prices of the Products will be as quoted on our site from time to time.

However if we discover an error in the price of Product(s) you ordered, please see clause 14.5 for what happens in this event.

14.2 Prices for our Products may change from time to time, but changes will not affect any order which we have confirmed with a Dispatch Confirmation.

14.3 The price of a Product includes VAT (where applicable) at the applicable current rate chargeable in the Republic of Ireland for the time being.

14.4 The price of a Product does not include delivery charges. Our delivery charges are as quoted on our site. To check relevant delivery charges, please refer to our Delivery page. Delivery costs are based on the Grand Total of your order. If you apply a discount or loyalty reward during the checkout process then your Grand Total may change and the delivery cost will be recalculated. This may result in your Grand Total failing to meet an applicable threshold for a promotion (such as for free delivery).

14.5 Our site contains a large number of Products. It is always possible that, despite our reasonable efforts, some of the Products on our site may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices as part of our dispatch procedures so that:

We will not process your order until we have your instructions. If we are unable to contact you using the contact details you provided during the order process, we will treat the order as cancelled and notify you in writing. Please note that if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as a mispricing, we do not have to provide the Products to you at the incorrect (lower) price.

Discount Codes and Loyalty Credit

14.6 We will from time to time provide discount codes and we operate a Loyalty Points scheme.

A discount code cannot be used at the same time as a Loyalty Points discount.

Multiple discount codes cannot be applied to the same order.

Discount codes and Loyalty Points cannot be applied to your order retrospectively.

If you are unable to use a discount code or Loyalty Points please contact our customer service team before completing your order as we are unable to assist once you have placed the order. During the order process you will be given the opportunity to review your order before submission. If, during this review, you note that a discount code or Loyalty Points discount has not been applied, please do not submit the order.

14.7 Delivery costs are based on the Grand Total of your order in accordance with clause 14.4. If you apply a discount code or Loyalty Points discount during the checkout process your Grand Total may change and the delivery cost will be recalculated based on the new Grand Total. This may mean that your order does not meet the threshold for a certain promotion, such as free shipping. If the discount code or Loyalty Points discount reduces the Grand Total below this threshold your order will not be eligible for the promotion.

14.8 You are responsible for deciding whether or not the use of a discount code or Loyalty Points discount provides the best value.

14.9 We reserve the right to withdraw discount codes and the Loyalty Points Programme without any advance notification. We are under no obligation to honour any discount codes or Loyalty Points.

20. Other important terms

20.1 We may transfer our rights and obligations under a Contract to another organisation, but this will not affect your rights or our obligations under these Terms. We will notify you in writing or by posting on this webpage if this happens.

20.2 You may only transfer your rights or your obligations under these Terms to another person if we agree in writing.

20.3 This contract is between you and us. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms, whether under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties Act) 1999 or otherwise.

20.4 Each of the paragraphs of these Terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful or unenforceable, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.

20.5 If we fail to insist that you perform any of your obligations under these Terms, or if we do not enforce our rights against you, or if we delay in doing so, that will not mean that we have waived our rights against you and will not mean that you do not have to comply with those obligations. If we do waive a default by you, we will only do so in writing, and that will not mean that we will automatically waive any later default by you.

20.6 If you are a consumer, please note that these Terms are governed by English law. This means a Contract for the purchase of Products through our site and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with it will be governed by English law. You and we both agree to that the courts of England and Wales will have non-exclusive jurisdiction. However, if you are a resident of Northern Ireland you may also bring proceedings in Northern Ireland, and if you are a resident of Scotland, you may also bring proceedings in Scotland.
