2. PRODUCTS UNSUITABLE FOR INTERNATIONAL DELIVERY
Some products maybe too large or too heavy for overseas delivery. If a product is not available for overseas delivery this will be clearly stated against the product. The website does not have any facility to prevent you from adding such a product to the basket, therefore if such a product is added we will have the right to either decline your order or offer to accept your order with a revised delivery charge.  This condition may also apply if you order a number of products that due to size will need to be sent as separate parcels.

3. DELIVERY ADDRESS
We will only deliver to the credit / debit card billing address except where you wish to send the product as a gift to a UK delivery address. If you place an order with a different delivery address to the address registered against your credit / debit card
(other than UK address) we reserve the right to decline your order.

5. CUSTOMS AND IMPORT DUTIES 
You are responsible for any customs or import duties levied once your parcel reaches your country. We have no control over these possible charges and unfortunately cannot predict what they will be. If charges are levied in your country and you refuse to pay them, you are responsible for the original shipping costs, any duties, taxes and/or customs charges that are incurred on the package / product, and the cost of returning the package to us. These costs will be subtracted from your refund and your credit card will be charged accordingly.

6. IMPORT RESTRICTIONS 
You are responsible for ensuring that you do not order any product that is not permitted or restricted for import into your country. We will not be held responsible should this situation arise as we do not have this local knowledge.
