We will not take any further steps to process your Order until we have your instructions. If we are unable to contact you using the contact details you provided during the order process, we will treat the Order as cancelled and notify you in writing. If you have paid any part of the price of the Product but we are unable to contact you to take your further instructions, we will refund such sums to you as soon as reasonably possible.
(b) if we accept an Order where there is a pricing error that is obvious and unmistakable and which could reasonably have been recognised by you as mispricing, we may end the contract with you, refund to you any sums you have paid under the contract and required the return of any Products supplied to you under that contract.
Your pricing error
(c) if we have quoted the correct price to you and a contract between us for the supply of the Products has been formed, but when paying the price you have paid an amount less than the quoted price, you must make payment of the remainder due by the deadline we notify to you.
