If you have not made any arrangements to take delivery and delivery has been attempted then you will be responsible for any additional delivery charges incurred.

If you are exporting or importing any item, you will be solely responsible for compliance with exporting and importing laws and requirements of the countries to and from which the item is being shipped together with payment of any expenses incurred including any export/import duties, fees, liabilities and tax/duty costs, which may arise.

We will not in any circumstances be liable for any indirect, incidental or consequential loss or damage, including any economic loss or loss of profit suffered by you or any third party however caused, including as a result of any negligence, breach of contract, misrepresentation or otherwise.

In the event of our breaching any of these Terms and Conditions, the damages and/or compensation which we are liable to pay to you will not in any circumstances exceed the price of the relevant item.
