Despite our efforts, a small number of the products in our catalogue may be mispriced. Rest assured, however, that we verify all prices as part of our dispatch procedures. If a product's correct price is discovered to be lower than our stated price, we charge the lower amount and send you the product.
Prices advertised online may not reflect in-store prices and should be treated as online exclusive prices in this case. Also, each retail store is not obliged to match a price found online which is due to a pricing error, as per the terms above.
