1.2. The customer acknowledges that it enters into the contract in the course of its business and not as a consumer.
BASIS OF CONTRACT
2.1 These conditions apply to the contract to the exclusion of any other terms that the customer seeks to impose/ incorporate or which are implied by trade, custom, practice or course of dealing.
2.2 These terms and conditions apply to all customers whether purchasing via our website or otherwise. Some terms specifically apply to website customers and these are clearly indicated below.
2.3 A quotation for the goods given by Cockney Doll does not constitute an offer. Our quotations become void after 30 days (unless otherwise stated). The order is an offer by the customer to purchase the goods in accordance with these conditions. The customer is responsible for ensuring that the terms of the order and any applicable specification submitted by the customer are complete and accurate.
2.4 The order is only deemed accepted when Cockney Doll issues written acceptance of the order, thus causing the contract to form. For website customers this written acceptance will be in the form of an email.
2.5 If we are unable to accept your order (in part or in whole), we will inform you in writing and will not charge you for the relevant goods. This may be due to the unavailability of goods caused by unexpected limits on our resources which we could not reasonably plan for; a credit reference obtained for you does not meet our minimum requirements; an error has been identified in the price or description of some or all of the goods.
PRICE
3.1 NON – WEBSITE CUSTOMERS:
3.1.1 The price quoted for the goods excludes VAT (unless otherwise stated). VAT will be charged at the rate applying at the time of delivery.
3.1.2 The price quoted excludes the costs and charges of delivery, insurance and transport of the goods, which shall be invoiced to the customer (unless otherwise stated).
3.1.3 Unless otherwise stated, the price quoted is an illustrative estimate only and the price charged will be our price current at the time of delivery.
3.1.4 Rates of tax and duties on the goods will be those applying at the time of delivery.
3.1.5 At any time before delivery we may adjust the price to reflect any increase in our costs of supplying the goods.
3.1.6 We may invoice you for the goods on or at any time after the completion of delivery pursuant to clause 5.
3.2 WEBSITE CUSTOMERS:
3.2.1 The price of the goods will be the price indicated on the website and confirmed on the order pages when you place your order. We take all reasonable care to ensure that the price of the product advised to you is correct. See clause 3.2.5 for the procedure where a pricing error is discovered in your order.

3.2.5 Despite our best efforts, it is possible that some products listed may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices before accepting your order. At the order date if the product’s correct price is less than our stated price, we will charge the lower (correct) amount. If the product’s correct price is greater than the stated price, we will contact you for instruction before accepting the order. If your order is accepted and processed where a pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable to you, where you could reasonably have recognised it as mispricing, we may end the contract, refund to you any sums paid and require the return of any goods provided to you.
