If the Company discovers an error in the price of the Goods subject to the Contract, the Company shall contact the Buyer to inform it of this error and give the Buyer an option of purchasing to Goods at the correct price or cancelling the order. If the Company is unable to contact the Buyer in respect of a pricing error (after using the contact details made available by the Buyer) the Company will treat the order as cancelled and notify the Buyer or such cancellation in writing.

7.3 The price for the Goods shall be exclusive of any value added tax and all costs, charges, taxes, levies and other fees in relation to packaging, loading, unloading, carriage and insurance, all of which (where possible) amounts the Buyer shall pay in addition when it is due to pay for the Goods or for which, in accordance with condition 4.10, the Buyer shall be responsible.

The Company may arrange delivery to an address designated by the Buyer upon request (and for such further cost as agreed in writing between the parties).
7.4 The price for the Goods is based on the cost of materials, labour, transport, taxes (including value added tax) and duties and all other relevant costs at the date of the order.
