12. ORDERS PLACED THROUGH THE COMPANY’S WEBSITE
12.1 This Condition sets out the terms on which, and the procedure whereby, the Company supplies any of the Goods listed on the Company’s website at www.kensingtonlocks.co.uk  to the Buyer and also outlines the terms of use applicable to the Company’s website.

(b) The Buyer is at least 18 years old; and
(c) The Buyer is resident in, and is accessing the Company’s website from, the United Kingdom.
12.4 After placing an order, the Buyer will receive an e-mail from the Company acknowledging that the Company has received the Buyer’s order.  Please note that this does not mean that the Buyer’s order has been accepted.  The Buyer’s order constitutes an offer to the Company to buy Goods.  All orders are subject to acceptance by the Company, and the Company will confirm such acceptance to the Buyer by sending the Buyer an e-mail dispatch confirmation verifying that the Goods have been dispatched.  The Contract between the Buyer and the Company will only be formed when the Company sends the Buyer the dispatch confirmation. 
12.5 The Contract will relate only to those Goods whose dispatch the Company has verified in the dispatch confirmation.  The Company will not be obliged to supply any other Goods which may have been part of the Buyer’s order until the dispatch of such Goods has been verified in a separate dispatch confirmation.

12.7 The price of any Goods will be as quoted on the Company’s website from time to time, except in cases of obvious error. 
12.8 Prices are liable to change at any time, but changes will not affect orders in respect of which the Company has already sent the Buyer a dispatch confirmation.
12.9 The Company’s website contains a large number of Goods and it is always possible that, despite the Company’s best efforts, some of the Goods listed on the Company’s website may be incorrectly priced.  The Company will normally verify prices as part of the Company’s dispatch procedures so that, where the correct price of the Goods is less than the Company’s stated price, the Company will charge the lower amount when dispatching the Goods to the Buyer.  If the correct price of the Goods is higher than the price stated on the Company’s website, the Company will normally, at the Company’s discretion, either contact the Buyer for instructions before dispatching the Goods, or reject the Buyer’s order and notify the Buyer of such rejection.
12.10 The Company is under no obligation to provide the Goods to the Buyer at the incorrect (lower) price, even after the Company has sent the Buyer a dispatch confirmation, if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could have reasonably been recognised by the Buyer as a mispricing.
12.11 Without prejudice to the provisions of Condition 12.9 and 12.10, the price of any Goods shown on the Company’s website may differ from the price of identical Goods appearing in the Company’s catalogues and brochures and the Company reserves the right to charge different prices for identical Goods pursuant to this Condition 12.11.
12.12 Payment for all Goods must be by credit or debit card.  The Company accepts payment with Visa, Visa Delta /  Debit, Visa Electron, Mastercard, UK Maestro, Solo, American Express, Diners Club and JCB.  The Company will not charge the Buyer’s credit or debit card until the Company despatches the Buyer’s order.
12.13 Access to the Company’s website is permitted on a temporary basis, and the Company reserves the right to withdraw access thereto or to revise the service provided thereon, without notice. Without limitation, the Company shall not be liable if for any reason the Company’s website is unavailable at any time or for any period.
12.14 Commentary and other materials and/or images or information appearing on the Company’s website are not intended to be relied upon or to amount to advice on which reliance should be placed. The Company hereby disclaims all liability and responsibility arising from any reliance placed on such information.
12.15 Where the Company’s website contains links to other sites and/or resources provided by third parties, these are provided for information only. The Company has no control over the contents of those sites and/or resources, and accepts no responsibility for them or for any loss or damage that may arise from any use of them. 
12.16 The Company is the owner or the licensee of all intellectual property rights in the Company’s website, and in the material published on it.  Those works are protected by copyright laws and treaties around the world.  All such rights are reserved. Any use of the Company’s website, or its contents, including copying or storing it or them in whole or in part other than for the Buyer’s own personal, non-commercial use, is strictly prohibited.

13. ASSIGNMENT
13.1 The Company may assign the Contract or any part of it to any person, firm or company.

14. FORCE MAJEURE
The Company reserves the right to defer the date of delivery or to cancel the Contract or reduce the volume of the Goods ordered by the Buyer (without liability to the Buyer) if it is prevented from or delayed in the carrying on of its business due to circumstances beyond the reasonable control of the Company including, without limitation, acts of God, governmental actions, war or national emergency, acts of terrorism, protests, riot, civil commotion, impossibility of the use of public or private telecommunications networks, fire, explosion, flood, epidemic, lock-outs, strikes or other labour disputes (whether or not relating to either party's workforce), or restraints or delays affecting carriers or inability or delay in obtaining supplies of adequate or suitable materials, provided that, if the event in question continues for a continuous period in excess of 180 days, the Buyer shall be entitled to give notice in writing to the Company to terminate the Contract.

15. GENERAL
15.1 Each right or remedy of the Company under the Contract is without prejudice to any other right or remedy of the Company whether under the Contract or not.
15.2 The Company and the Buyer shall each keep confidential any and all information which has been expressed to be confidential or could reasonably be supposed to be confidential and which has been obtained or disclosed as a result of the relationship of the respective parties under the Contract

15.4 Failure or delay by the Company in enforcing or partially enforcing any provision of the Contract shall not be construed as a waiver of any of its rights under the Contract.
15.5 Any waiver by the Company of any breach of, or any default under, any provision of the Contract by the Buyer shall not be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach or default and shall in no way affect the other terms of the Contract.
