2.3 When we use the words "writing" or "written" in these Conditions, this includes emails.

3. Our Contract with you

3.1 The Order you place via the Website constitutes an offer to purchase the Goods in accordance with these Conditions. As the Paint Products are made to your specific order you are responsible for ensuring that the terms of the Order are correct. Please read and check your Order before placing as you will not be able to cancel the Contract with regards to the Paint Products unless there is a fault with the Goods or in accordance with the reasons set out in clause 8.3. If ordering Goods other than Paint Products your right to cancel will not be affected with regard to those Goods.

3.2 The Order shall only be deemed accepted by us when you have paid for the Goods, monies received by us and the Goods have been dispatched. Any email, order confirmation or other electronic acknowledgement by us of receipt of an Order does not constitute legal acceptance by us of your Order. We will confirm our acceptance to you by sending you an email confirming that the Goods have been dispatched, at which point the Contract will come into existence between you and us.

3.3 The only language in which the Contract can be concluded is English.

3.4 If we are unable to accept your order, we will inform you of this in writing and will not charge you for the Goods. This might be because the Goods are out of stock, because of unexpected limits on our resources which we could not reasonably plan for, because a credit reference we have obtained for you does not meet our minimum requirements, because we have identified an error in the price or description of the Goods or because we are unable to meet a delivery deadline you have specified.

3.5 We will assign an order number to your order and tell you what it is when we accept your order. It will help us if you can tell us the order number whenever you contact us about your order.

3.6 When ordering the Goods for delivery outside of the United States you may be subject to import duties and taxes, which are levied once the package reaches the specified destination. Any additional charges for customs clearance must be borne by you; we have no control over these charges. Customs policies vary widely from country to country, so you should contact your local customs office for further information. Additionally, please note that when ordering from us, you are considered the importer of record and must comply with all laws and regulations of the country in which you are receiving the Goods. Please be aware that we do not accept any liability for import and export issues as noted above and consider this to be an Event Outside Our Control. Your privacy is important to us and we would like our international customers to be aware that cross-border deliveries are subject to opening and inspection by customs authorities.

4. Our Goods

4.1 The images of the Goods on our Website are for illustrative purposes only. Although we have made every effort to display the colors accurately, we cannot guarantee that a device's display of the colors accurately reflects the color of the Goods. Your Goods may vary slightly from those images.

4.2 Paint Products are color matched by our software using the information you provide to us. It is therefore essential that you check the information you provide to us before purchasing.

4.3 The packaging of the Goods may vary from that shown in images on our Website.

5. Your rights to make changes
If you wish to make a change to the Goods you have ordered please contact us. We will let you know if the change is possible. If it is possible we will let you know about any changes to the price of the Goods, the timing of supply or anything else which would be necessary as a result of your requested change and ask you to confirm whether you wish to go ahead with the change. If we cannot make the change or the consequences of making the change are unacceptable to you, you may want to end the Contract (see clause 8 - Your rights to end the Contract).
6. Our rights to make changes
We may change the Goods in order to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements or to implement minor technical adjustments and improvements. Also, we will be entitled to adjust agreed prices on the basis of the average change in the cost price of the Goods to be delivered.
7. Providing the Goods

7.1 The costs of delivery will be as displayed to you on our Website.

7.2 The delivery charge for each item is listed on the Goods detail page. When you add Goods to your shopping basket and have chosen the delivery option the appropriate charge will be added automatically.

7.3 During the order process we will let you know when we will provide the Goods to you. Any dates quoted for delivery are approximate only and these dates shall not be construed as falling within the meaning of “time is of the essence”, unless you specified in writing that delivery within the delivery deadline was essential before we accepted your Order. We cannot be held liable for any costs incurred if delivery is delayed.

7.4 We shall have no liability for any delay in delivery of the Goods, or failure to deliver the Goods, where the delay or failure is caused either by an Event Outside Our Control or the Customer's failure to provide us with adequate delivery instructions or any other instructions that are relevant to the supply of the Goods. If our supply of the Goods are delayed by an Event Outside Our Control then we may contact you as soon as possible to let you know and we will take steps to minimize the effect of the delay.

7.5 Where the courier is unable to deliver the Goods, they will either attempt to deliver to a neighbor, attempt to redeliver the following day, leave a card for you to rearrange a suitable time for redelivery or leave the parcel at your local Post Office for you to collect.

7.6 If we miss our estimated delivery deadline for the Goods or, in the absence of any estimate being given the date thirty (30) calendar days after the dispatch confirmation, you may cancel your Order straight away if any of the following apply:

(a) we have refused to deliver the Goods; or

(b) you told us before we accepted your Order that delivery within the delivery deadline was essential. If you do not wish to treat the Contract as at an end straight away, or do not have the right to do so under clause 7.6, you can give us a new deadline for delivery, which must be reasonable, and you can treat the Contract as at an end if we do not meet the new deadline.

7.7 If you do choose to treat the Contract as at an end for late delivery when you specified in writing before your ordered the Goods that delivery within the delivery deadline was essential, you can do so for just some of the Goods or all of them, unless splitting them up would significantly reduce their value. If the Goods have been delivered to you, you will have to return them to us or allow us to collect them, and we will pay the costs of this. After you cancel your Order we will refund any sums you have paid to us for the cancelled Goods and their delivery.

7.8 The risk of loss with respect to the Goods shall pass to you at the time of shipment. The method and agency of transportation and routing will be designated by us. In the event you request alternative shipment or routing, the resulting alternative packing, shipping and transportation charges will for your account.

7.9 You own the Goods once we have received payment in full.

The Customer agrees to pay any such taxes or reimburse payment of such taxes by us.

12.4 Offers cannot be used in conjunction with one another. Where more than one offer is available on the same Goods only one discount will apply. The offer giving the greatest saving will be applied in the basket. Equally, voucher code offers cannot be used in conjunction with any other promotional offer.

Payment will be debited from your account just before the dispatch of your Goods, and if your payment card has expired, we will be unable to take payment and fulfil your Order.

12.7 When an Order is placed a pre-authorization will be made against your account. Payment is not taken at this time. We will endeavor to process any payments at the time of dispatch. On the rare occasion that this process is not successful, we will re-process accordingly. We will not inform you if this delay occurs. We are not liable for any bank charges that may be incurred by the Customer if sufficient funds are not available at the time when payment is taken.

12.8 All credit and debit card holders are subject to validation checks and authorization by the card issuer. If the issuer of your payment card refuses to authorize payment to us, we will not be liable for any delay or non-delivery.

12.9 In addition, to prevent fraudulent use of credit and debit cards, we will validate the names, addresses and other information supplied during the Order process against commercially available records (e.g. Electoral Roll data, Credit Reference Services). A third party may also be instructed to complete these checks. By ordering from the Website you consent to such checks being made. We may need to contact you by letter, telephone or email to verify details before we are able to process and dispatch your Order or we may be unable to accept your Order. Any information given may be disclosed to a registered Credit Reference Agency which may keep a record of the information. All information provided will be treated in accordance with the relevant data protection legislation applicable in Delaware.

16.3 Each of the paragraphs of these Conditions operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.

16.4 If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these Conditions, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking this Contract, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date. For example, if you miss a payment and we do not chase you but we continue to provide the Goods, we can still require you to make the payment at a later date.
