We reserve the right to reject or cancel any order, including where:

• a product is unavailable

• we suspect fraud or unauthorised activity
• there are delivery restrictions
• there are legal or compliance concerns

If we cancel an order after payment has been taken, we will refund the amount paid in accordance with your statutory rights.
