Conclusion of sales and availability of stock

Users may place orders for Goods, which Windscreen Distributors may accept or reject. Whether or not Windscreen Distributors accepts an order depends on the availability of Goods, correctness of the information relating to the Goods (including without limitation the price), and receipt of payment or payment authorization by Windscreen Distributors for the Goods.
Windscreen Distributors will indicate the acceptance of your order by delivering the Goods to you, and only at that point will an agreement of sale between you and Windscreen Distributors come into effect (the “Sale”). This is regardless of any communication from Windscreen Distributors stating that your order or payment has been confirmed. Windscreen Distributors will indicate the rejection of your order by canceling it and, as soon as possible thereafter, refunding you for any amount already paid.
Placing Goods in a shopping basket without completing the purchase cycle does not constitute an order for such Goods, and as such, Goods may be removed from the shopping basket if stock is no longer available or the price thereof might change without notice to you. You cannot hold Windscreen Distributors liable if such Goods are not available or are not available at the particular price when you complete or attempt to complete the purchase cycle at a later stage.
You acknowledge that the stock of all Goods on offer is limited and that pricing may change at any time without notice to you. In the case of Goods for sale by Windscreen Distributors, Windscreen Distributors will take all reasonable efforts to monitor stock levels and ensure that when stock is no longer available, that offers thereof are discontinued on the Website. However, we cannot guarantee the availability of stock. When Goods are no longer available after you have placed an order, Windscreen Distributors will notify you and you will be entitled to a refund of any amount already paid by you for such Goods.
