1.2 In order to enter into a contract to purchase Products from us, you will need to take the following steps:

(i) you must add the products you wish to purchase to your shopping cart, and then proceed to the checkout;

1.3 If we cannot supply you with the Products that you have requested or the Product ordered is not in stock, we will inform you of this as soon as reasonably possible. In these circumstances we will either cancel the order (we will give you notice of this by email), or give you the option of cancelling your order or waiting until the Products can be supplied. We will give you a full refund where you have already paid for the Products and the relevant order is cancelled.
