1. Scope of Terms & Conditions

  1. Scope of terms & conditions: These terms and conditions outline the contractual agreement between you and us for the supply of products.
  2. Importance of reading these terms and conditions: We encourage you to carefully read these terms and conditions before submitting your order. They provide important information on our identity, how we will supply the products to you, the process for changing or terminating the contract, how to handle any issues that may arise, and other essential details.

As a result, you waive any claims for innocent or negligent misrepresentation or negligent misstatement based on any statement not contained in this agreement.

However, if there is a significant risk of delay, you may contact us to terminate the contract and receive a refund for any products you have paid for but not received.

  7. Failure to reschedule delivery: If delivery is not rescheduled or the item is not collected from the depot within the specified timeframe, the product will be returned to us. We will contact you to discuss further instructions and may charge for any storage or additional delivery costs incurred.
