At any point up until then, we may decline to supply the Goods to you without giving any reason. At the moment the Goods are dispatched, a contract will be made between you and us.
3.3 Any information we supply to you about the availability of Goods is an estimate only. We cannot be more specific about availability. If we give a dispatch estimate, it will not be a guarantee of the dispatch time and should not be relied upon as such. As we process your order, we will inform you if any Goods you have ordered turn out to be unavailable. If for any reason we are unable to supply a particular item, we will not be liable to you except to ensure that you are not charged for that item.

If your order is cancelled for any reason before we have dispatched the Goods, we will refund any sums paid by you to us for the Goods.
3.5 All our prices are expressed inclusive of any VAT payable, unless otherwise stated. When ordering Goods from us for delivery overseas, you may be subject to import duty and taxes which are levied once the Goods reach the overseas destination. Any additional charges for such duties and taxes, whether for customs clearance or otherwise, must be borne by you. We have no control over these costs and cannot predict what they will be. If you are an overseas customer, you should check with your local customs office before placing the order with us.
3.6 You must make payment in full to us before we will dispatch the Goods to the delivery address. If required by you, we will issue you with an invoice prior to payment and, in any event, upon payment we will issue you with a receipted invoice. We will only accept payment in pounds sterling.

3.8.3 You have the right to cancel the contract with us and return the Goods to us if, within seven days of the Goods being delivered, you give us written notice of your wish to cancel by contacting us on office@countiesuk.org.

If you cancel in this way, you will be responsible for the cost of returning the Goods and the Goods must be returned in original condition.
