1. The contract between us

when a confirmation of acceptance is sent by us. Only at this point is a legally binding
contract created between us.
2. Acknowledgement of your order
To enable us to
process your order, you will need to provide us with your e-mail address. We
will notify you by e-mail as soon as possible to confirm receipt of your order
and to confirm details. For the avoidance of doubt, this correspondence does
not constitute a contract between us.
