ORDER ACCEPTANCE

After placing your order, you will receive an automated acknowledgement. Please note that this does not mean that your order has been accepted.

Our acceptance of your order will take place when it is dispatched, at which point a contract will come into existence between the User and STL.

A number will be assigned to your order of which you will be informed upon acceptance. The contract to sell products to you only relates to those products listed in the confirmation email.

If we are unable to accept your order, we will inform you and refund any quantity we may have charged, this might be because a product is out of stock, because of unexpected limitations on our resources for which we could not reasonably plan, because we have identified an error in the price or description of the product or because we are unable to meet a delivery deadline you have specified.

ORDER CONFIRMATION AND CANCELLATION

Before completing the order, the User may review all the relevant details and products included so that, if considered necessary, they may be modified, added to or eliminated.

Once the order has been formalised by your confirmation, it will not be possible to modify or cancel the order through the Website and, therefore, you will have to contact the Customer Service Department ("CSD") directly (see clause 10 below). Once you have contacted the CSD, provided that the order has not entered the shipping process and been dispatched from our central offices, it will be possible to change or cancel any issue relating to the order.

DELIVERIES

When placing an order, Users can receive it at an address of their choice, except P.O. boxes. Shipping addresses must be located in the same country of the purchase.

Our delivery period is approximately between 2 and 7 working days from the order confirmation.

We will keep you informed regarding the progress of your order by email or text message using the contact details you supply.

Delivery costs are £7,95 regardless the amount of the order.

If when opening the package, the User observes that any of the items are damaged, the damaged articles should be detailed in the delivery note and they should contact the CSD. In such cases, STL will repair or replace, at no cost, any article lost during transport or that has suffered any type of damage during the delivery process, provided that the User reports the incident within 24 hours of receiving the order.

Once the order has been delivered, any damage that may be caused henceforth will be your responsibility. Any risks relating to the purchased product will be assumed by you from the time of delivery.

If the product's correct price at your order date is higher than the price stated to you, we will contact you for further instructions before accepting your order. If we accept and process an order where a pricing error is obvious and unmistakable and could reasonably have been recognised by you as mispricing, we may end the contract, refund you any sums you have paid and require the return of any products provided to you.

If the rate of VAT changes between your order date and the date we supply the product, we will adjust the rate of VAT that you pay, unless you have already paid for the product in full before the change in the rate of VAT takes effect.
