6.2 Our prices exclude delivery costs, which will be added to the total amount due before completion of your order and can be checked on our FAQ’s page.
6.3 Prices are liable to change at any time, but changes will not affect orders in respect of which we have already sent you an invoice.
6.4 As our Site contains a large number of Products and it is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the Products listed on our Site may be incorrectly priced. We will normally verify prices as part of our order confirmation procedures and where a Product’s correct price is less than our stated price, we will charge the lower amount when invoicing you. If a Product’s correct price is higher than the price stated on our Site we will contact you by email to advise you and/or to obtain your confirmation that the amended price is acceptable.
6.5 Payment for all Products must be by credit or debit card and those accepted by us are those listed on our website on the date when your order is placed.
6.6 All credit/debit cardholders are subject to validation checks and authorization by the card issuer. If the issuer of your payment card refuses or for any reason does not authorize payment to us, whether in advance of or subsequent to a payment, we will not be liable for any delay or non-delivery of the Products ordered.

Redelivery will be attempted for a fee of AED 35 the next day to the same address as was provided on the order unless you have given us or the courier company an alternative address and this new delivery address has been acknowledged.

If a Product is not as on the Order Confirmation or damaged, we will credit or refund your purchase. In the case of damaged or incorrect goods you must take photographic evidence and email this to us, and retain the damaged or incorrect Products and all packaging for inspection by us. Subject to our report on the claimed damage or incorrect goods and to these Terms and Conditions we will refund the price you paid for the returned Products together with the delivery charge, or at our option we will provide you with a credit for further products. We will have no liability to you for any indirect loss.
