6. Prices, VAT, and Website Pricing
6.1. Product Prices
All prices displayed on the website are shown in the currency selected or indicated on the website at the time of purchase. The website may display prices in multiple currencies, including GBP (Pounds Sterling), EUR (Euro), USD (US Dollar), CAD (Canadian Dollar), AED (UAE Dirham), AUD (Australian Dollar), AZN (Azerbaijani Manat), CZK (Czech Koruna), HUF (Hungarian Forint), KZT (Kazakhstani Tenge), MDL (Moldovan Leu), NZD (New Zealand Dollar), PEN (Peruvian Sol), PLN (Polish Złoty), and UZS (Uzbekistani Som). Prices shown at checkout will be the prices applicable to the order unless an obvious pricing error is identified.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, VAT is included in the displayed price of the product. The price shown to the customer therefore already includes applicable VAT and is intended to present the product cost as clearly as possible.
6.3. Price Changes
We reserve the right to change prices at any time. However, such changes shall not affect an order that has already been accepted by us. Price changes may be made for commercial, operational, supplier-related, or legal reasons.

(a) the payment transaction is handled by an independent third-party provider;

We may refuse, suspend, or cancel an order where:
(a) payment is declined;
(b) payment is not successfully completed;

8.2. Your Order
When you place an order through the website, you are making an offer to purchase the selected goods subject to these Terms and Conditions. It is your responsibility to review your order carefully before submitting it.

After placing your order, you may receive an email acknowledging receipt of your order. This acknowledgement confirms only that your order has been received and is being reviewed.

The contract between you and us will be formed only when we accept your order, which may occur by:
(a) sending you a dispatch confirmation;
