12.

PRICE OF PRODUCTS AND SERVICES AND DELIVERY CHARGES

12.1
The prices of the Products and Services will be as quoted on our Website from time to time in our Price List (link). We take all reasonable care to ensure that the prices of Products and Services are correct at the time when the relevant information was entered onto the system. However if we discover an error in the price of Product(s) or Services you ordered, please see clause 12.5 for what happens in this event.
12.2
Prices for our Products or Services may change from time to time, but changes will not affect any order which we have confirmed with a Order Confirmation as regards Products.
12.3
The price of a Product or Service excludes VAT (where applicable) at the applicable current rate chargeable in the UK for the time being. If the rate of VAT changes between the date of your order and the date of delivery or performance, we will adjust the VAT you pay, unless you have already paid for the Products and/or Services in full before the change in VAT takes effect.
12.4
The price of a Product does not include delivery charges. Our delivery charges are as quoted on our Website from time to time. To check relevant delivery charges, please refer to our Delivery Charges page (link).
12.5
Our Website contains a large number of Products and Services. It is always possible that, despite our reasonable efforts, some of the Products and / or Services on our Website may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices as part of our dispatch procedures so that:
(a)
where the Product's or Service’s correct price is less than the price stated on our Website, we will charge the lower amount when dispatching the Products to you or when carrying out the Services. However, if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as a mispricing, we do not have to provide the Products or Services to you at the incorrect (lower) price; and
(b)
if the Product's or Service’s correct price is higher than the price stated on our Website, we will contact you as soon as possible to inform you of this error and we will give you the option of continuing to purchase the Product and / or Service at the correct price or cancelling your order. We will not process your order until we have your instructions. If we are unable to contact you using the contact details you provided during the order process, we will treat the order as cancelled and notify you in writing.
12.6
If you do not make any payment due to us by the due date for payment, we may at our sole discretion:
(a)
Charge late payment compensation on each outstanding invoice to the full amount permissible by law under the late payment legislation in force at the time. Late payment legislation refers to the amended Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998, the Late Payment of Commercial Debts Regulations 2002 and the Late Payment of Commercial Debts Regulations 2013;
(b)
charge interest to you on the overdue amount at the rate of 8% per annum above the base lending rate of Barclays Bank PLC from time to time or, if this is deemed unreasonable by a court of England and Wales, at the standard court rate of the time pursuant to s69 of the County Courts Act 1984 (currently 8% per annum). This interest shall accrue on a daily basis from the due date until the date of actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgment. You must pay us interest together with any overdue amount; and
(c)
cease provision of broadband services if an invoice remains unpaid for more than 14 days and any costs associated with or arising from the ceasing of services will be payable by you.
12.7
If a Direct Debit is returned, or any other charge is incurred as a result of your non-payment of an invoice on the due date, we may at our sole discretion charge a fee incurred by us to you to cover our administration costs and by way of compensation for your breaching this contract.
12.8
We reserve the right to hand over any unpaid accounts to one or more, of our appointed debt collection agencies. Our collection agencies may also levy a further fee added to the total debt for costs incurred in collecting the debt.
12.9
For the avoidance of doubt, in respect of broadband services, if the phone line that the broadband is activated on is cancelled, and as a result our broadband service is automatically cancelled, you will still have to pay for the agreed charges and remaining term of any fixed term contract.
13.

HOW TO PAY

13.1
You can only pay for Products and / or Services using MasterCard, Visa, Electron and American Express, Direct Debit or other methods set out on our website from time to time.
