Working days means that Saturdays, Sundays or public holidays are not included in this period.

9.9 Details of your legal right to cancel and an explanation of how to exercise it are provided in the Order Confirmation.

12. Price of Products and Delivery Charges

12.1 The prices of ‘buy it now’ Products will be as quoted on our site from time to time. We take all reasonable care to ensure that the prices of Products are correct at the time when the relevant information was entered onto the system.

12.5 Our site contains a large number of Products. It is always possible that, despite our reasonable efforts, some of the ‘buy it now’ Products on our site may be incorrectly priced. If we discover an error in the price of the Products you have ordered we will open a case in the eBay resolution centre and inform you of this error; we will give you the option of continuing to purchase the Product at the correct price or cancelling the transaction. If we do now hear from you within 7 (seven) days we will treat the order as cancelled and notify you in writing. Please note that 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 to you at the incorrect (lower) price.
