Please note, this does not mean that your order has been accepted by us. Your order is simply an offer to buy products from us in accordance with these Terms.
5.2 Acceptance of your order by us takes place when we dispatch your order to you, at which point a legally binding contract is formed between you and us on these Terms. At any point up until then, we may decline to supply the products to you for any reason, including legal and regulatory reasons or where we cannot authorise your payment.
5.3 We will send to you a dispatch confirmation email to let you know once your order has been dispatched.
5.4 If we do not accept your order, for example because we have been unable to pre-authorise the payment, the products are unavailable, you are under 18 or live outside of the UK, or there has been a mistake or error regarding the pricing or description of the products, we will endeavour to email you using the details you provided when you placed your order.
