We will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with this clause.
3. Our Products
3.1
We will take all reasonable care to ensure that all Product Descriptions are correct. We have made every effort to display as accurately as possible the appearances, colours, textures or finishes of our Products. What you see will depend on your computer equipment, screen or monitor and we are therefore unable to guarantee that a Product's images are an accurate representation of the actual merchandise. Please refer to our Returns Policy if you are unhappy with your Order.
3.2
Products are subject to availability. We will do our best to remove any Products which have sold out at the earliest opportunity. As there is a delay between the time when your Order is placed, and the time when the Order is accepted, the stock position relating to a particular Product may change. If a Product you have ordered becomes out of stock before we accept your Order, then Thomas Wolski shall not be liable to you for being unable to provide that Product. If such a situation arises, then we shall notify you as soon as possible and you will not be charged for the out of stock Product.
4. Pricing
4.1
We endeavour to ensure that all Products on the Platforms are available at the same price in all our stores. However, from time to time we may offer additional discounts for purchases made via the Platforms that do not apply in-store, or vice versa. Additionally, Products offered as sets on the Platforms may not be offered as part of a set in-store and individual prices may apply.
4.2
Any coupon, discount, offer or promotional discount offered on the Platforms is valid only for use as part of a purchase made via the Platforms, unless otherwise stated and subject to availability.
4.3
Product prices shown on the Platforms are in British Pounds, or such other currency as we may offer from time to time and are inclusive of UK value added tax ("VAT") (where applicable), at the appropriate rate. Product prices shown on the Platforms (irrespective of which currency you choose to pay in) may change from time to time. Please also be aware that the price of a Product may change at checkout if it is subject to any taxes, duties, fees, levies or delivery charges applied in the country you have selected for delivery of your Order.
4.4
Although we try to ensure all our Products' prices displayed in the Product Description are accurate, errors may sometimes occur. If we discover an error in the price of a Product you have ordered, we will be unable to accept your Order and shall contact you as soon as possible in order to give the option of either reconfirming your Order at the correct price or cancelling it. If we are unable to contact you, we will treat your Order in respect of the incorrectly priced Product as cancelled.
4.5
All Product prices shown on the Platforms are inclusive of any applicable UK VAT. Where you have requested delivery of your Order to an EU country, the total cost of your Order will include UK VAT. Where you have requested delivery of your Order to a non-EU country, the total cost of your Order will not include UK VAT. Where you have requested delivery of your Order to a non-EU country, you will be responsible for paying any taxes, duties, fees, levies or other charges levied by that non-EU country to the relevant local customs authorities.

You will be the importer for the international delivery of your Order (i.e. any Order delivered to a country other than the UK). Therefore, before placing an Order, it is your responsibility to check that the Products you are planning to import comply with state and federal government import regulations, and that there are no local requirements or restrictions which may affect receipt of your Order. If any customs requirements apply or charges are due, you agree to be responsible for these.
5. Product Restrictions
5.1
There may be instances where due to restrictions (legal or otherwise) or practices in relation to a Product, we are prevented from being able to deliver it to you (for example age or country restricted products such as alcohol). Thomas Wolski shall not be held liable in relation to any Product that we are unable to sell or deliver to you as a result of such restrictions. Please refer to the Product Description of your selected Product(s) to see if any restrictions apply. In the event that a restriction is enforced after you have placed your Order with us, we will do our utmost to notify you as soon as reasonably practicable.
5.2
If you place an Order for any Products which are age-restricted, you warrant that you meet the age requirement for that Product, for example over eighteen (18) years to place an Order for any alcohol product. It is an offence to buy or attempt to buy age-restricted Products if you are under age or to purchase such Products for someone else who is under age.
5.3
We reserve the right not to sell or deliver any age-restricted Product to anyone who is, or appears to be, under the required age.

8.4
You may select the international delivery option at the end of the checkout process, and by specifying a delivery address outside of the UK.
