The packaging of the Products may vary from that shown on Our Website.

2.2 Our Website shopping pages will guide You through the steps that You need to take to place an Order with Us. Our order process allows You to check and amend any errors before submitting Your Order to Us. Please check the details of Your Order at each stage of the ordering process.

2.3 Each Order shall be deemed to be an offer by You to purchase the Products from Us, subject to these Terms. No Order placed by You shall be deemed to have been accepted by Us, and no Contract shall be formed, until an [e-mail] Order Confirmation has been issued by Us to You.

3. PRICE

3.1 The Price for the Product will be as quoted on the Website at the time You submit Your Order. Unless agreed otherwise in writing by Us, all Prices are shown and payable in the currency listed on the Website.

3.2 Unless otherwise stated, the Price is inclusive of VAT at the applicable current rate, a breakdown of which shall be displayed when We take payment for the Products from You. You are responsible for payment of any importation taxes, sales taxes or other charges which may be applied when the delivery reaches that destination. Please note that We have no control over these charges and We cannot predict their amount. You must comply with all applicable laws and regulations of the country for which the Products are destined.

We shall inform You as soon as We become aware of an error in the pricing of a Product. [In the event of an error in the pricing of a Product which results in the Price of a Product being displayed at an incorrect Price], We shall also request Your confirmation as to whether You wish to proceed with the Order at the correct price or whether You wish to cancel Your Order. If We are unable to contact You for any reason, Your Order will be deemed cancelled. Any monies paid in respect of cancelled Orders shall be refunded in full within 30 days from the date of cancellation. Please note in all cases that if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakable and could have reasonably been recognized by You as a mispricing, We do not have to provide the Products to You at the incorrect (lower) price.

5.2 Delivery times or dates in respect of deliveries are estimates only and are not guaranteed.

5.3 We shall be entitled to deliver the Products in separate instalments. Any delay or failure by Otter to deliver, or any claim by You in respect of any one or more of the instalments in accordance with these Terms, shall not entitle You to treat the Contract as a whole as cancelled.

5.4 We reserve the right, at Our sole option, to cancel or withhold the delivery of any Products, in whole or in part:

(i) until receipt of Your payment for the Products and any applicable delivery charges;

(ii) if We are affected by an Event Outside Our Control, as described in Clause 11.

5.5 We will aim to deliver the Products within a period of seven (7) days after Order Confirmation; if no one is available at the Delivery Location, our courier will leave a collection slip notifying You as to where and when the Products will be available for collection. On delivery of the Products, which shall be completed when We have delivered the Products to the address You gave Us, You shall check the Products against the delivery note.

5.6 If, for any reason, You fail to take delivery of any of the Products on the date of delivery, or We are unable to deliver the Products because You have not provided appropriate instructions, documents, licences or authorisations, We may store the Products until delivery at a later date, at Your cost (including but not limited to storage and insurance costs). If You fail to take delivery of the Products (or in the event that our courier has notified You of where and when the Products can be collected, if you fail to collect the Products) within fourteen (14) days following the date of the first attempted delivery, We may cancel the Contract and sell the Products to someone else.

6. NON-DELIVERY

If We fail to deliver the Products [within the agreed timescales for delivery] then You can either, (i) give Us a new deadline for delivery, which must be reasonable or, (ii) cancel Your Order and We will refund any sums that You have paid to Us for the cancelled Products and their delivery charges.
