2. Sometimes we reject orders, for example we may refuse to accept your order:

4. If your Product(s) arrived damaged when it was delivered, you must notify us within 72 hours of the day you receive the Product(s). Any damage not reported will be determined to have been caused by your handling of the Product(s), unless it can be proven otherwise.

Installation services
1. Delivery of the Product(s) does not include installation.
2. We do not offer installation services.
Risk and title
1. The Products will be your responsibility from the time of delivery.
2. Ownership of the Product(s) will only pass to you on the later of either i) delivery or ii) when we receive:
(a) full payment of all sums due in respect of the Products, including delivery charges; and
(b) if you have agreed to trade-in a device, until we receive the traded-in device you have promised to provide us.

Price and payment
1. The price of the Products will be as quoted on our website from time to time, except in cases of obvious error. Product prices include VAT at the prevailing rate. The price quoted on our website for Products excludes delivery charges which are quoted separately on our Website.
2. Product prices and delivery charges are subject to change at any time, but changes will not affect orders in respect of which we have already sent you a Dispatch Confirmation.
3. Our Website contains a large number of Products and it is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the Products listed on our Website may be incorrectly priced. We will normally verify prices as part of our dispatch procedures so that, where a Product's correct price is less than our stated price, we will charge the lower amount when dispatching the Product to you. If a Product's correct price is higher than the price stated on our Website, we will normally, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before dispatching the Product, or reject your order and notify you that we are rejecting it. If the price of the Product(s) is obviously an error and could have reasonably been recognised by you as an error, we do not have to provide the Products to you at the incorrect (lower) price.
4. Payment can be made using all major credit and debit cards (American Express, Maestro, Mastercard, Visa Credit, and Visa Debit) and it is collected on our behalf by Adyen. Payment will be taken at the time of purchase or shortly after, unless you are pre-ordering, in which case payment will be taken within 28 days of you placing your order. Alternatively, other payment methods and credit facilities may be offered on the website for you to utilise to make your payment. These will have different terms and conditions that you will be asked to review and accept at the time you make payment.
