The prices shown are only applicable to purchases made via the Autolok Security Products Limited web site. Special Offers and promotions advertised in the press or other media may be excluded unless specifically advertised as available online. All prices are correct at time of display online and include VAT where applicable. In the unlikely event of an administrative typographical or other error resulting in an incorrect price being displayed and your order therefore including one or more item at an incorrect price, we reserve the right to cancel that contract. In these circumstances, neither you nor we will be bound to continue with that contract by you to purchase the goods included in that order, and you will be asked by us to email us to confirm whether or not you wish to proceed with your order including all goods correctly priced. There will be no contract in place unless and until you do email us to confirm that you wish to proceed. Autolok's VAT number is GB719 562316.

a) Buy immediately online and pay using your debit or credit card via Paypal;
b) Telephone our order line and pay by debit or credit card; or
c) Send your order by post and pay by cheque or postal order.
We must receive payment of the whole of the price for the goods that you order before your order can be accepted. [Once payment has been received by us we will confirm that your order has been accepted by sending an email to you at the email address you provide in your order form. Our acceptance of your order brings into existence a legally binding contract between us]

Most major credit or debit cards.

Payment will be debited to your account before the despatch of your purchased goods.

4. Validation Checks
All credit and charge card holders are subject to validation checks and authorisation by the card issuer. If the issuer of your payment card refuses to authorise payment to us, we will not be liable for any delay or non-delivery.

In addition, in the interests of preventing fraudulent use of credit, debit and charge cards, Autolok will validate the names, addresses and other information supplied during the order process with the card issuer. We may need to contact you again to verify details before we are able to dispatch your order or we may be unable to accept your order.

5. Credit Card Misuse
The majority of card issuers cover all the charges that may result from unauthorised use of your credit card or debit cards, but some may limit your liability to £50. If you believe your credit or debit card has been subject to unauthorised use you should contact your card issuer without delay.

6. Delivery of Goods
We can deliver to addresses within the United Kingdom and the price includes delivery costs except for deliveries to non-mainland UK addresses and also certain remote UK mainland addresses and locations including the Scottish Isles, Isle of Man, Isle of Wight, Northern Ireland, Scottish Highlands, Channel Islands.

Goods can be delivered either to your home address or to any specified alternative address or to your work (subject to the possibility of additional delivery charges as referred to in the previous paragraph, in respect of non UK mainland and remote addresses and locations), but we will have fulfilled our delivery obligations to you if we arrange delivery to the delivery address provided by you in your online order (or if no specific delivery address is given to us, by delivery to your own address as provided to us).
