Your contract with us for the purchase of the relevant Product(s) will be formed when we send the Confirmation Email.

4.3. You acknowledge that the Confirmation Email will be sent promptly following payment by you, wherever possible, and accordingly any applicable statutory right to a “cooling-off” period will not apply.

7. Cancelling your order and your rights

7.1.
