IMPORTANT: Please read these general terms and conditions of sale ("the Conditions") carefully as they together with your order confirmation constitute the contract (the "Contract") between GreenHalse Electronics Limited ("us"/"we"/"our") and you ("you"/"your"/"yourself") for the sale of the goods you purchase on, or as a result of you viewing our product range in either our catalogue or on www.greenhalse.co.uk (the "Site").
By placing an order you confirm that you have read, understood and agree to these Conditions in their entirety. Please check that the details on your order are complete and accurate before you commit yourself to this Contract. Please ensure that you have read and understood these Conditions before you submit your order, because you will be bound by these Conditions once a contract comes into existence between us in accordance with Clause 1.3. If you do not agree with these Conditions, you must not place an order for any goods. In these Conditions, "Goods" means the goods which we supply to you in accordance with these Conditions.

We reserve the right to revise and amend these Conditions from time to time to reflect changes in market conditions affecting our business, changes in payment methods or changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements. You will be subject to the Conditions in force at the time that you order the Goods from us. We shall use our reasonable endeavours to notify you of any changes to these Conditions.

Alternative terms and conditions attached in any form, or referred to, with your order request, will not be valid. At our discretion, a director of GreenHalse Electronics may agree and sign amended or alternative Terms and Conditions for a specific order only, but this must be negotiated and agreed before an order is accepted by us, and your terms and conditions agreement from us must be signed in person by a Director of GreenHalse Electronics. 

1.3 These Conditions will become binding on you and us when we issue you with written confirmation of your order.

If we cannot accept your order because, for example, the Goods you have selected are not available or because your payment has not been authorised we will attempt to contact you by e-mail or telephone in order to resolve any outstanding issues.

1.4 Whilst we make every effort to supply you with the Goods listed on the order confirmation, there may be occasions where we are unable to supply these Goods because, for example (i) such Goods are no longer being manufactured or available; or (ii) we are unable to source relevant components; or (iii) if there was a pricing error in our catalogue or on the Site.
