8  Order process and formation of a contract

8.1 Our Website, catalogue and brochure merely illustrate our Goods and the packaging of the Goods. Your computer may not accurately display the colours of the Goods. Although we aim to accurately depict our Goods and their packaging, there may be differences between the packaging and the colours of the Goods delivered to you and those shown on our Website and in our catalogue and brochure.

8.2 All orders are subject to acceptance and availability. If we are unable to supply you with the Goods in your order due to matters such as unavailability of stock, materials, key staff or an Event Outside our Control or because we have identified a mistake in the description of the Goods or the price stated by us, we will notify you. We will not proceed with the order and will refund any sums you have paid us.

8.3 If the Goods are temporarily unavailable, we will notify you by email of the date they are expected to be available. You will have the option either to wait until they are available or to cancel your order. If you cancel your order, we will refund any sums you have paid us.

8.4 Any order placed by you for the Goods constitutes an offer to purchase them from us.

8.5 You agree that if we contact you to acknowledge receipt of your order such communication shall not amount to our acceptance of your offer to purchase the Goods.

8.6 We may not be able to accept your order due to one or more of the following reasons, or for a reason not listed below:

8.6.1 The item you have ordered is out of stock

8.6.2 We cannot authorise your payment or have reasonable grounds to suspect your payment may be fraudulent

8.6.3 There has been a pricing or product description error

8.6.4 There is a system or procurement failure

8.6.5 You have failed our customer validation checks, for example by failing to provide a valid telephone number and email address. Orders where neither a valid telephone number nor email address have been supplied will be automatically cancelled and refunded.

8.7 A 'Confirmation Notice' means an email which we send to you to confirm that we have dispatched the Goods. A Confirmation Notice will be our acceptance of the offer made in the order to which that Confirmation Notice relates.

8.8 A contract between you and us for the supply of the Goods (the 'Contract') incorporating the version of these Conditions in force at the time of your order will come into existence when we send you the Confirmation Notice relating to your order. You may print and keep a copy of the Confirmation Notice for future reference.

8.9 If you think that there is a mistake in the Confirmation Notice or if you wish to make any changes, please contact us to discuss this. If you request a change, we will tell you if that is possible and about any changes to the price, delivery or performance dates or any other changes that we need to make as a result of your request. We will ask you if you wish to go ahead with the change.

8.10 We may make

8.10.1 minor technical adjustments to the Goods to improve them or to comply with relevant laws and regulatory requirements,

If you would like to purchase fuel for resale or any purpose other than using yourself for fuel, you must inform us in advance of placing the order and we will issue a VAT invoice including the required 20% VAT for customers inside the United Kingdom. For customers who are VAT registered in another member state of the European Union, we will issue an invoice without charging VAT if the requirements of applicable legislation are met. In failing to make any use other than own fuel clear to us at the point of purchase you agree to indemnify us against any claim from HMRC arising for underpaid Value Added Tax and agree to compensate us for any additional levy retrospective or otherwise and to pay any additional reasonable costs incurred in the satisfaction of HMRC.

8.12 If we make any changes in accordance with clause 8.10 we will give you written notice of the changes before we supply the Goods. You can choose to cancel the contract if the change would be significantly to your disadvantage.
