Should you subsequently have a complaint as to the Goods, you must direct this complaint to Us directly.

8 PRICE AND PAYMENT

8.1 The price of the Goods will be those in force at the time We confirm your order. Our prices may change at any time, but price changes will not affect contracts that We have already agreed with you.

8.2 These prices include VAT unless We indicate to the contrary. However, if the rate of VAT changes between the date of the contract agreement with you and the date of delivery, We reserve the right to adjust the rate of VAT that you will pay, unless you have already paid for the Goods in full before the change in the rate of VAT takes effect.

8.3 Where delivery includes carriage or postage, the prices for the Goods exclude carriage or delivery costs, which will be added to the total amount due unless We have agreed to the contrary.

8.4 Where We are providing Goods to you, you must make payment for the Goods in advance by cash, cheque, electronic transfer, or credit or debit card (at Our discretion). We reserve the right to impose a limit upon the amount of any cash payment.

8.5 If you do not make any payment due to Us by the due date for payment, We may charge you interest on the overdue amount at the rate of 3% a year above the base lending rate of Barclays Bank Plc from time to time. This interest shall accrue on a daily basis from the due date until the date of actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgment. You must pay Us interest together with any overdue amount.

8.6 We may act as agent from time to time for a credit company providing retail finance under the Consumer Credit Act 1974. If We agree to provide credit facilities, you will enter into a credit agreement which will contain separate and additional terms by which you will be bound. As a consumer, you will have legal rights in relation to Goods supplied under a credit agreement. Nothing in these Terms will affect those legal rights.

(b) If you have made any payment in advance for Goods that have not been delivered to you, We will refund these amounts to you.
