HOW THE CONTRACT FOR THE SALE OF PRODUCTS AND/OR SERVICES IS FORMED BETWEEN YOU AND US

  1. Please note that receipt of your order by us (whether by telephone, letter or email) does not mean that your order has been accepted. Your order constitutes an offer to us to buy a Product and/or Services. All orders are subject to acceptance by us, and we will confirm such acceptance to you by sending you an e-mail or letter that confirms our acceptance of your order (the Acceptance Confirmation). The contract between us (Contract) will only be formed when we send you the Acceptance Confirmation.

  3. Please ensure that you read and understand these terms and conditions before you submit your order, because you will be bound by the terms and conditions once a Contract comes into existence between us, in accordance with clause 1.
  4. The Contract will relate only to those Products and/or Services whose acceptance of order we have confirmed in the Acceptance/Confirmation. We will not be obliged to supply any other Products or Services relating to these other Products which may have been part of your order, until your order for such Products and/or Services has been confirmed in a separate Acceptance Confirmation.
