All prices displayed on the Website are shown in Euro (€) and include applicable Value Added Tax (VAT) unless otherwise stated.

Shipping costs, cash-on-delivery fees (where applicable) and any additional charges are displayed before the customer completes the purchase.

Where an obvious pricing or technical error has occurred, the Company reserves the right to cancel the order after informing the customer.
