1.8  Any samples, drawings, descriptive matter, or advertising issued by us and any descriptions or illustrations contained in our catalogues or brochures or on the Website are issued or published for the sole purpose of giving an approximate idea of the Products described in them. They shall not form part of the Contract or any other contract between you and us for the sale of the Products.

2.  Purchase of Products
2.1  The placing of a Product on our Website is an invitation to accept offers for such Product and is not an offer to sell at the listed price nor is it binding on us.  We are under no obligation to accept your order (whether or not the order has been acknowledged and payment made).
2.2  You shall ensure that the terms of your order are complete and accurate.
2.3  After placing an order you will receive an e-mail from us acknowledging that we have received your order. Please note that this does not mean that your order has been accepted. Your order constitutes an offer to us to buy Products.
2.4  The Contract will relate only to those Products whose order we have confirmed in the Acceptance Confirmation. We will not be obliged to supply any other Products which may have been part of your order until the acceptance of such Products has been confirmed.
2.5  Any order is subject to availability of the Product. If the Product becomes unavailable prior to delivery we will notify you as soon as possible following the Acceptance Confirmation. Either us or you may then cancel the part(s) of the order relating to the unavailable Product (including those Products which can be reasonably linked to the unavailable Product) or we will, where possible, give you the choice of purchasing an alternative from us (an “Alternative”). A full refund will be issued to you for all cancelled parts of your order after we have received from you or sent notification of cancellation of the order. If you choose to purchase an Alternative in accordance with this condition 2.6 these Terms will apply. If an Alternative is chosen and payment has already been taken for the order we will refund to you any overpayment or, in the case of an underpayment, you will pay us any additional sums due in relation to the Alternative.
2.6  In the event that a Product is listed or quoted at an incorrect price due to an error, we will notify you within 14 days of the Acceptance Confirmation of the correct price by e-mail, telephone or fax. Either us or you may then cancel the part(s) of the order relating to the incorrectly priced Product (including those Products which can be reasonably linked to the incorrectly priced Product) or you may purchase the incorrectly priced Product(s) at the correct price. If you confirm you want to purchase the Product at the corrected price we will then arrange delivery of the Product to you. If payment has been taken for the Product and you cancel your order we will, on return of the Product (if the Product has been sent out) issue a refund. If only some of the Products you ordered are mispriced it will not affect the order in relation to any Products which were priced correctly.
2.7  For the avoidance of doubt, for ordered Products which are not on our standard stock list, which are being made to your order or which are or have been acquired by us specifically to fulfil your order there will be no right to cancel in respect of those Products.
2.8 You agree that in accordance with CE/RoHS guidelines, products categorised as R&D will only be used for research and development or large-scale fixed installation.

3.  Delivery

Contact us within 21 days of the Product being received back to us to arrange re-delivery or refund.

Refund is less the cost of the original shipping cost, the shipping agent's return cost and the re-stocking fee (see 5.14). After a period of 21 days we will resell or otherwise dispose of the Products.
