However please see clause 3 for what happens if we discover an error in the price of the Product you Order.
  
  
• We will pass on changes in the rate of VAT. If the rate of VAT changes between your Order Date and the date we supply the Product, we will adjust the rate of VAT that you pay, unless you have already paid for the Product in full before the change in the rate of VAT takes effect.
  
  
• What happens if we got the price wrong. It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the Products we sell may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices before accepting your Order so that, where the Product’s correct price at your Order Date is less than our stated price at your Order Date, we will charge the lower amount. If the Product’s correct price at your Order Date is higher than the price stated to you, we will contact you for your instructions before we accept your Order.

• to process your payment for the Products; and
• if you agreed to this during the order process, to give you information about similar Products that we provide, but you may stop receiving this at any time by contacting us.

• If a court finds part of this Contract illegal, the rest will continue in force. Each of the paragraphs of these Terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.
  
  
• Even if we delay in enforcing this Contract, we can still enforce it later. If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these Terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking this Contract, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date.
