Typographical Errors

Whilst we try to ensure that all prices on our Sites are accurate, errors may occur. If we discover an error in the price of any item you have ordered, we will inform you as soon as possible. If the price displayed was higher than the correct price, we will refund you the difference. Where the item's correct price is less than the price stated on our Sites, we will charge the lower amount when dispatching the item to you. However, 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 item to you at the incorrect (lower) price. If we are unable to contact you after making reasonable endeavours to do so, you agree that we may treat the order as cancelled. If you choose to cancel after you have already paid the incorrect price, you will receive a full refund from us
