2. How The Contract Is Formed Between You And Us
2.1 After placing an order, you will receive an e-mail from us acknowledging that we have received your order. Please note that this does not mean that your order has been accepted. Your order constitutes an offer to us to buy a Product. All orders are subject to acceptance by us, and we will confirm such acceptance to you by sending you an e-mail that confirms that the Products has been dispatched ("Dispatch" and "Dispatch Confirmation"). The contract between us ("Contract") will only be formed when we send you the Dispatch Confirmation or, where we are required specially to order Products for you, at the time we commence work on your order.
2.2 The Contract will relate only to those Products whose Dispatch we have confirmed in the Dispatch Confirmation. We will not be obliged to supply any other Products which may have been part of your order until the Dispatch of such Products has been confirmed in a separate Dispatch Confirmation.
3. Cancellation
3.1 Except where we have specially ordered Products for you, you may cancel the order at any time prior to Dispatch.
3.2 Where we have specially ordered Products for you and you cancel the order we reserve the right to invoice to you and you undertake to pay to us any costs incurred by us in processing your order up to the order value.
4. Availability And Delivery
4.1 Your order will be fulfilled by the delivery date set out in the Dispatch Confirmation or, if no delivery date is specified, then within a reasonable time of the date of the Dispatch Confirmation, unless there are exceptional circumstances.
4.2 Time of Dispatch and/or delivery shall not be of the essence in respect of any orders you place with us.
4.3 We reserve the right to make partial deliveries.
4.4 Delivery charges may apply to orders below our minimum order value or if you have special delivery requirements. These charges will be added during the checkout process.
4.5 If we fail to deliver the Products, our liability shall be limited to the costs and expenses incurred by you in obtaining replacement goods of similar description and quality in the cheapest market available, less the price of the Products.
5. Risk And Title
5.1 The Products will be your responsibility from the time of delivery.
5.2 Ownership of the Products will only pass to you when we receive full payment of all sums due in respect of the Products, including delivery charges.
5.3 Until ownership of the Products has passed to you, you shall:
5.3.1 hold the Products on a fiduciary basis as our bailee;
5.3.2 store the Products separately from all other goods held by you so that they remain identifiable as our property;
5.3.3 maintain the Products in satisfactory condition and keep them insured against all risks for their full price from the date of delivery, but you may resell or use the Products in the ordinary course of business.
5.4 If before ownership of the Products passes to you, you become subject to any of the events listed in clause 13 or we reasonably believe that any such event is about to happen and notify you accordingly, then, provided that the Products have not been resold or irrevocably incorporated into another product, and without limiting any other right or remedy we may have, we may at any time require you to deliver up the Products and, if you fail to do so promptly, enter any of your premises where the Products are stored in order to recover them.
6. Price And Payment
6.1 The price of the Products and our delivery charges will be as quoted on our site from time to time, except in cases of obvious error.
6.2 Product prices include VAT which will be shown separately during checkout and on our invoice. If the rate of VAT changes between the date of your order and the date of delivery, we will adjust the VAT you pay, unless you have already paid for the Products in full before the change in VAT takes effect.
6.3 Product prices and delivery charges are liable to change at any time, but changes will not affect orders in respect of which we have already sent you a Dispatch Confirmation.
6.4 Our site contains a large number of Products and it is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the Products listed on our site may be incorrectly priced. We will normally verify prices as part of our dispatch procedures so that, where a Product's correct price is less than our stated price, we will charge the lower amount when dispatching the Product to you. If a Product’s correct price is higher than the price stated on our site, we will normally, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before dispatching the Product, or reject your order and notify you that we are rejecting it.
6.5 If the pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could have reasonably recognised by you as an error, we do not have to provide the Products to you at the incorrect (lower) price.
6.6 When ordering on www.doodlebone.co.uk, all payment for products must be made on the website checkout or via one of our customer service advisors. We accept most major credit and debit cards.
6.7 Payment may be made by cheque payable to “EGMG Limited” and should be sent to our address. Orders will only be processed after funds have cleared to our Bank.

Failure or delay by the Company in enforcing or partially enforcing any provision of the Contract shall not be construed as a waiver of any of its rights under the Contract. Any waiver by the Company of any breach of, or any default under, any provision of the Contract by the Customer shall not be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach or default and shall in no way affect the other terms of the Contract. The parties to the Contract do not intend that any term of the Contract shall be enforceable by virtue of the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 by any person that is not a party to it.
