The prices indicated on the Website and in the Brochure include VAT unless otherwise stated. All orders are to be paid in UK pounds (also called GBP/Great Britain Pounds/Pounds Sterling). Pay by PayPal, Credit or Debit card. Visa, MasterCard, Maestro & American Express accepted. Solo cards are not accepted. Also ‘Pre-paid’ and ‘single-use’ type credit cards / charge cards do not work with our system, Sorry. PayPal and Credit card orders automatically convert (e.g. US Dollars) into UK Pounds. Credit cards are authorized at time of order download but are only charged when goods are shipped.

Please note: although funds are not taken when a card is authorized, they are allocated/reserved until the order is dispatched. - This may appear on your bank statement as a transaction, but this should clear once the actual charge has been made.

The prices on the Website and in the Brochure are checked regularly to seek to ensure they are accurate and up-to-date. However, if we find they have changed when we receive your order we will contact you and ask if you wish to proceed.

It is your responsibility to ensure that the payment details you provide are correct and complete. We are not responsible for supplying products if the details you submit when making your order are incorrect or incomplete. No payment will be deemed to have been made until we have cleared funds and we will not dispatch the products until we receive payment in full.

We sometimes accept payment by bank wire if credit card or cheque is not possible. Please remember that banks often charge for this and the customer must pay all the bank charges.
