This email represents our legal acceptance of the order you have made to purchase the item(s) and the contract between us (the “Contract”) will only be formed when we send you the Dispatch Confirmation.

If we confirm to you that some but not all item(s) that you have ordered have been dispatched, those item(s) that have not been dispatched will not form part of the Contract.
