By placing an order via the Shop, you warrant that you are legally capable of entering into binding contracts and that you agree to be bound by this Agreement and the Purchase Agreement. To place an order, you will be required to provide complete and accurate personal details on the order form. This will include some or all of the following: full name, email address, telephone number, invoicing and delivery address. After placing an order, you may receive an email acknowledging receipt of your order. Please note that this email is an acknowledgment and does not mean that your order has been accepted. The sale and purchase contract between us will be formed only when we send you a confirmation. All orders are subject to acceptance.

14. Prices and Payment
Prices (and/or packaging/delivery costs) are as set out on the relevant pages of the Shop (except in cases of obvious error) and all listed prices are exclusive of VAT (or similar) tax unless otherwise stated. Such amounts are subject to change at any time. You are responsible for payment of sales tax and any other applicable import duties and taxes that may be levied once the purchased products reach your country.

15. Credit Cards
Payment for purchased products may be by credit or debit card. We accept payment by Visa, Visa Debit, Mastercard, Maestro, American Express and/or PayPal. All credit/ debit cardholders are subject to validation checks and authorisation by the card issuer. If your card issuer refuses to authorise payment, your order will be cancelled and we will not be liable for any delay or non-delivery. We are not obliged to inform you of the reason for the refusal. We are not responsible for your card issuer or bank charging you as a result of us processing of your credit/debit card payment in accordance with your order. By using your credit or debit card, you confirm that the card is yours and that there are sufficient funds or credit available to cover the charges.

16. Delivery
Deliveries are subject to delivery costs set out in the relevant listing. Deliveries may require a signature on delivery (and for this reason, it is not possible to deliver to a PO Box address or a hotel). Risk passes to you once delivered, but purchased products shipped to any non-card registered address are sent entirely at your risk. A signature may be required at time of delivery of goods may not be left without such signature. In the unlikely event a purchased product is damaged or lost in transit, we shall endeavour to supply a replacement as soon as possible. If we cannot supply an identical product, we will offer you an alternative similar product and/or issue a credit note. Please note that no title of the relevant goods shall pass to you until payment has been received in full and delivery has been completed. If you order products for delivery outside the UK, they may be subject to import duties and taxes which are levied when the delivery reaches the specified destination. You will be responsible for payment of any such import duties and taxes. Please note that we have no control over these charges and cannot predict amounts or other requirements. If in doubt, please contact your local customs office for further information before placing your order. Please also note that you must comply with all applicable laws and regulations of the country for which the products are destined. We will not be liable for any breach by you of any such laws.

17. Damaged Products
Purchased products will be your responsibility after the time of delivery. Therefore, if the packaging is damaged at the time of delivery, please check the package in the presence of the carrier in order to verify the condition of the Products. In the unlikely event a Product is damaged or lost in transit, you must immediately report the damage to mail@ISTD.org.uk. If such damage is verified and an identical product cannot be supplied, you may be offered an alternative similar product and/or issued a credit note.

18. Right of Cancellation
You may cancel your purchase of a product from the Shop at any time within fourteen (14) days, beginning on the day after you receive the product. In this case, you will receive a full refund of the price paid for the product in accordance with our refunds policy (set out below). To cancel a purchase, you must inform us in writing and must return the product to us, unopened and undamaged, as soon as reasonably practicable at your own cost. The date upon which the package is post-marked will determine whether you have returned the product(s) within the required period and products will be deemed received two days after the date of the postmark (not including Sundays and public holidays). Failure to comply with the return obligations hereunder may result in a deduction by us of the direct cost of recovering the unreturned product(s). All refunds will be processed at our sole discretion according to the condition of the returned product(s). We will not be liable to you for failures, defects or delays in delivery caused by:

(a) your provision of incorrect information;

(b) your mailbox being full and unable to receive correspondence;
