When you buy anything in the UK a contract is formed between the buyer and seller. It is formed as follows:-
The seller makes an offer to treat. For example our magazine advert, web site, a verbal price quote and agreement to abide by these terms and conditions of sale. Nothing is binding at this stage.
The buyer makes an offer to buy. By doing this you are accepting our terms and conditions of sale and the selling price, etc. You may get a confirmation that your order has been received, however this is not an acceptance of your offer.
The seller accepts the offer to buy or rejects the offer. We may reject the offer, for example, if the price was wrong, the goods are no longer made or if we think the buyer is trying to fraud, etc. Your offer is accepted only at the stage when we produce an invoice and take payment.
All court actions will be dealt with under UK law and at a court of our choosing close to our locality.
By purchasing from UK Camera Store Ltd, in any manner, you agree to abide by the terms and conditions in this document.
Our registered office is located at: UK Camera Store Ltd,ECL House , Lake Street , Leighton Buzzard , Bedfordshire , LU7 1RT
