Terms and Conditions

Making A Purchase

We ship worldwide.

Making a purchase could not be easier. Just browse our store, and add any items that you wish to buy into the shopping cart. After you have finished your selection, click on ‘Checkout’ and you will be asked for a few details that we need to be able to complete the order.

Our fulfilment partner for online purchases is Solent Marine Ltd. Payments will be made into their ecommerce system, and orders shipped from their warehouse. Shipments and documentation may bear their name.

We accept credit card payment. If you are shopping from overseas, place your order and your credit card company will convert the transaction to your own currency.

We accept Visa, Mastercard. We do not charge for any item until it is ready to ship. Backordered items are not charged until they are shipped. You may send your credit card information via phone, fax, surface mail or over the Internet.

When confirmation of order is received, this is to indicate that we have received your order. It does not indicate that a contract exists between us. We will indicate acceptance of your order, and hence a contract between us, when we send you an invoice. We have included this term to protect us in the case that a mistake has been made in pricing, we have inadvertently under-priced goods, or we are no longer able to supply a particular product for some reason. In the case of a change of price, we will always contact you first to ensure that the price is acceptable.
