    1. you do so as principal and not as our agent; and

    2. title to the Items shall pass from us to you immediately before the time at which resale by you occurs.

  5. If, before title to the Items passes to you, you become subject to any actual or threatened administration, insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings or if you are unable to pay your debts as they fall due, then, without limiting any other right or remedy we may have:

PRICE OF ITEMS AND DELIVERY CHARGES

  1. The prices of the Items will be as quoted on our site or catalogues from time to time or as otherwise communicated to you by a member of our staff. We take all reasonable care to ensure that published prices of Items are correct at the time when the relevant information was entered onto the system. However if we discover an error in the price of Item(s) you ordered, please see Clause 8.5 for what happens in this event.

  2. Prices for our Items may change from time to time, but changes will not affect any order which we have confirmed with an Order Acceptance.

  3. The price of an Item includes VAT (where applicable) at the applicable current rate chargeable in the UK for the time being. However, if the rate of VAT changes between the date of your order and the date of delivery, we will adjust the VAT you pay, unless you have already paid for the Items in full before the change in VAT takes effect.

  4. Our site contains a large number of Items. It is always possible that, despite our reasonable efforts, some of the Items on our site or catalogue may be incorrectly priced. If we discover an error in the price of the Items you have ordered we will inform you of this error and we will give you the option of continuing to purchase the Item at the correct price or cancelling your order. We will not process your order until we have your instructions. If we are unable to contact you using the contact details you provided during the order process, we will treat the order as cancelled and notify you in writing. Please note that if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as a mispricing, we do not have to provide the Items to you at the incorrect (lower) price.
