3 Ordering
3.1 When making an order through the Website, the technical steps the Buyer needs to take to complete the order process are described in the checkout process section within the Website.
3.2 All orders for Goods shall be deemed to be an offer by the Buyer to purchase Goods pursuant to these Terms and Conditions and are subject to acceptance by the Seller. The Seller may choose not to accept an order for any reason.
3.3 All Goods shown on the Seller’s Website are subject to availability. Where the Goods ordered by the Buyer are not available from stock the Buyer shall be notified and given the option to either wait until the Goods are available from stock or cancel the order and receive a full refund. The Seller will confirm the order by sending a confirmation email as detailed in clause 4.4 below. For the avoidance of doubt a contract between the Buyer and Seller will only be formed once the Seller sends a confirmation email.
4 Price and Payment
4.1 The price of the Goods shall be that stipulated on the Website from time to time. The price is exclusive of VAT.
4.2 The total purchase price, including VAT and delivery charges, will be displayed in the Buyer’s shopping cart prior to confirming the order.
4.3 After the order is received the Seller shall confirm by email the details, description and price for the Goods together with information on the right to cancel if the Buyer is a Consumer.
4.4 All successful orders placed via the website will be confirmed by email. Therefore the responsibility of specifying a valid email address in the checkout process is the responsibility of the Buyer. If the Buyer does not receive a confirmation email, the Buyer must contact the Seller to confirm the status of the order.
4.5 In the case of business customers and Consumer sales (but not Public Sector Bodies), payment of the price plus VAT and delivery charges must be made in full before dispatch of the Goods.
4.6 Prices for the Seller’s Goods may change from time to time, but changes will not affect any order which the Seller has confirmed with a confirmation email.
4.7 The price of the Goods is exclusive of VAT (where applicable) at the applicable current rate chargeable in the UK for the time being. However, if the rate of VAT changes between the date of the Buyer’s order and the date of delivery, the Seller will adjust the VAT the Buyer pay, unless the Buyer has already paid for the Goods in full before the change in VAT takes effect.
4.8 Delivery charges are calculated before completing an order by utilising the delivery charges and costs button to calculate the charge for delivery. Some Goods sold on the Website will include the delivery price, this is clearly indicated when utilising the delivery charges and costs button.
4.9 The Seller’s Website contains a large number of Goods. It is always possible that, despite the Seller’s best efforts, some of the Goods on the Seller’s site may be incorrectly priced. The Seller will normally check prices as part of the Seller’s dispatch procedures so that:
4.9.1 where the Goods’ correct price is less than the price stated on the Seller’s Website, the Seller will charge the lower amount when dispatching the Goods to the Buyer. However, if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could have reasonably been recognised by the Buyer as a mispricing, the Seller does not have to provide the Goods to the Buyer at the incorrect (lower) price; and
4.9.2 if the Goods’ correct price is higher than the price stated on the Seller’s Website, the Seller will contact the Buyer as soon as possible to inform the Buyer of this error and the Seller will give the Buyer the option of continuing to purchase the Goods at the correct price or cancelling the order. The Seller will not process the Buyer’s order until the Seller has the Buyer’s instructions. If the Seller is unable to contact the Buyer using the contact details provided during the order process, the Seller will treat the order as cancelled and notify the Buyer in writing.
4.10 If the Buyer is a Consumer the Buyer can only pay for Goods using a debit card or credit card. The Seller accepts the following cards: Mastercard, Visa Credit, Visa Debit, Visa Electron.
4.11 If the Buyer is a Public Sector Body or charity then the Buyer may be eligible to purchase the Goods from the Seller by means of a credit account.

All instant credit accounts for Public Sector Bodies and charities are provided on the condition that the invoice is paid in 30 days from date of invoice. All orders placed through the Website in this manner must be supported by the Buyer subsequently sending an official purchase order clearly showing the letterhead and business details. This can be send via e-mail to sales@rototek.com
4.12 If the Buyer is a business customer, payment can be made by BACS or by cheque provided that the Buyer’s purchase order has been provided to the Seller in advance, the Seller will then provide a pro-forma invoice to the Buyer. No Goods will be dispatched until payment has cleared into the Seller’s account.
