SECTION A – CURRENT SALES PROMOTIONS

Special Buy/ Sale

Special buy products are available for a limited time only. The prices have been specifically negotiated with our suppliers and we believe to offer value for money rather than a discount from a previously established price.

4. IMAGES AND SIZING OF PRODUCTS

4.1 The images of the Products on our site are for illustrative purposes only.

5.4 Due to the large number of Products on our site, it is always possible that some of the Products listed on our site may be incorrectly priced, despite our reasonable efforts. We will normally verify prices as part of our order-handling procedure 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 the Product’s correct price is higher than the price stated on our site, we will normally, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before dispatching the Product, or reject your order and notify you of the rejection.

5.5 We are under no obligation to provide the Product to you at the incorrect (lower) price, even after we have sent you an order acceptance, if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as a mispricing.

5.6 For each specific Product we may provide a “typical high street” price to allow you to compare the cost of our Product with similar items sold by other retailers. This comparable price is an estimate only (based on closest equivalent products in design and functionality, but which may differ in other respects, such as finishes and materials) and the items compared may not exactly match the characteristics of the Product on our site.
