7. No international delivery
7.1 Unfortunately, we do not deliver to addresses outside the UK.
7.2 You may place an order for Goods from outside the UK, but this order must be for delivery to an address in the UK.
8. Price of goods and delivery charges
8.1 The prices of the Goods will be as quoted on our site at the time you submit your order. We take all reasonable care to ensure that the prices of Goods are correct at the time when the relevant information was entered onto the system. However, please see clause 8.5 for what happens if we discover an error in the price of Goods you ordered.
8.2 Prices for our Goods may change from time to time, but changes will not affect any order you have already placed.
8.3 The price of Goods excludes VAT (where applicable) at the applicable current rate chargeable in the UK for the time being. However, if the rate of VAT changes between the date of your order and the date of delivery, we will adjust the VAT you pay, unless you have already paid for the Goods in full before the change in VAT takes effect.
8.4 The price of the Goods does not include delivery charges. Our delivery charges are as advised to you during the check-out process, before you confirm your Order. To check relevant delivery charges and time periods, please refer to our Delivery Information page [Delivery Information : Treat Your Dog].
8.5 We sell a large number of Goods through our site. It is always possible that, despite our reasonable efforts, some of the Goods on our site may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices as part of our dispatch procedures so that:
