The Company conducts business within the United Kingdom and exports to EU and Non-EU Countries. Every contract to which these conditions apply shall be construed and operate as an English contract and in accordance with English Law and all disputes shall be submitted to the jurisdiction of the English Courts.

In the course of business the company deals with trade and commercial organisations and individuals and private consumers with whom trading Laws differ. It is the company's intention to respect and uphold Laws and Legislation relating to each. If it is determined that any condition set out below is in conflict or contravention with any English Statute in part or whole then the company respectfully amends or withdraws that condition in order to comply with the essence of that legal requirement.

As of 13 June 2014 the Distance Selling Regulations are replaced by Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 and all retail consumer contracts shall be in accordance with this legislation. Private consumers are advised to study CCR 2013 and make themselves aware of protection under this Statutory Instrument. (Please click on link to access document.

If we agree to accept for re-stocking goods surplus to requirements or goods which have been ordered in error, they must be returned within 7 working days of the date of supply.
