When you visit our website or place an order you’re bound by the terms and conditions of sale which are outlined below. Our contact information can be around at the bottom of this page, or you can get in touch.
Pricing and Information
We offer honest and transparent pricing across our range of laptops for sale. Occasionally, mistakes can happen on pricing due to human error.
If by mistake we have underpriced an item, we will not be liable to supply that item to you at the stated price, provided that we notify you before we despatch the item to you. In those circumstances, we will notify the correct price to you so you can decide whether or not you wish to proceed with the order. If you decide not to order the item, we will give you a full refund on any amount already paid for that item in accordance with our refund policy.
Prices displayed are correct at the time of entry, and what the law calls an “invitation to treat”. You cannot insist that a shop sells you anything at a marked price, whether or not they have made a mistake. Under the law, a retailer is entitled to decide the price they want to charge for goods. Visit http://www.tradingstandards.gov.uk/advice/consumer-advice.cfm for more information from Trading Standards.
In the same way you don’t have to buy goods from anyone, a retailer is under no obligation to sell you anything.

We can only send goods to your registered PayPal address.
On some products, we may offer financial services through Klarna. The payment terms are displayed on the product page. We do not have access to Klarna’s decision-making for declined applications. Klarna performs a hard credit search that will show on your profile. You should consider the impact of obtaining credit before you make your purchase.
We can accept Bank Transfer as payment, these payments are processed by our accounts team during usual working hours. If we don’t receive your payment within 24 hours of receiving your order we’ll cancel your order and release the stock.

On occasion, we may offer a discount on your order or certain items using a discount or voucher code. These codes are applicable for online transactions only and cannot be used in conjunction with any other offer. We reserve the right to end or extend these promotions at any time and without notice.
Discount codes are only available to retail customers choosing to purchase one or more items. Voucher codes may not be used against wholesale, bulk-purchasing or any re-sale environment. A fair usage policy may be implied.
Regretfully, we can’t process discount codes retrospectively – please make sure you apply them at the time of order.
