The contract between us ("Contract") will only be formed when we send you the Dispatch Confirmation.

You should carefully review their terms and conditions applying to the transaction.
5.3 We may also provide links on our site to the websites of other companies, whether affiliated with us or not. We cannot give any undertaking, that products you purchase from third party sellers through our site, or from companies to whose website we have provided a link on our site, will be of satisfactory quality, and any such warranties are DISCLAIMED by us absolutely. This DISCLAIMER does not affect your statutory rights against the third party seller. We will notify you when a third party is involved in a transaction, and we may disclose your customer information related to that transaction to the third party seller.
6. CONSUMER RIGHTS
6.1 Well Keen's products are not available to consumers and consumers should not attempt to purchase products from us.

9.4 Our Sites contain a large amount of information and it is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the Products listed on our Sites may be incorrectly priced.
