9.2. These prices are exclusive of VAT and delivery costs, which will be added to the total amount due as set out in the delivery section of our website here https://trade.fableengland.com/delivery and as advised to you during the check-out process, before you confirm your order.

9.4. Our website contains a large number of Goods and it is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the Goods listed on our website may be incorrectly priced. We will normally verify prices as part of our dispatch procedures so that, where the Goods' correct price is less than our stated price, we will charge the lower amount when dispatching the Goods to you. If the Goods’ correct price is higher than the price stated on our website, we will normally inform you of this error and we will give you the option of continuing to purchase the Goods 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. If we mistakenly accept and process your order where a pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could reasonably have been recognised by you as a mispricing, we may cancel supply of the Goods and refund you any sums you have paid.
9.5. Payment for all Goods must be by credit or debit card. We accept payment with most major credit and debit cards, including, Visa, Mastercard and Maestro. Payment must be made at the time of the order or otherwise in accordance with such credit terms as we have expressly agreed with you. Where payment is made at the time of the order, we will not actually charge your credit or debit card until we despatch your order. The time for the payment of the price shall be of the essence of the Contract.
9.6. If you fail to pay us any sum due pursuant to the Contract, we reserve the right to charge you interest on such sum from the due date for payment at the annual rate of 2% above the base lending rate from time to time of the HSBC Bank plc, accruing on a daily basis until payment is made, whether before or after any judgment. We also reserve the right to claim interest under the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998.
