2 Price and Delivery Charges
2.1 The price of the goods will be as quoted on the website at the time you confirm your order subject only to any inadvertent technical error for which we will not be liable.

If your delivery is subject to a delivery charge, it will be shown to you as a separate charge on the delivery confirmation page before you confirm your order.
