You must ensure that you keep these details secure and do not provide this information to a third party. You’ll need your email and password to log into the User Account later. Please note that even though the creation of User Account is optional, you will need one to log into the Subscription Portal that allows you to review and manage any Subscription(s).
2.5 We will take all reasonable care, in so far as it is in our power to do so, to keep the details of your order and payment secure, but in the absence of negligence on our part we cannot be held liable for any loss you may suffer if a third party procures unauthorised access to any data you provide when accessing or ordering from the Website.
2.6 In our Website, you can purchase Goods and Services, or sign up to Fixed Subscriptions or Ongoing Subscriptions.

When you place your order online we will send you an email to confirm that we have received it.This email confirmation will be produced automatically so that you have confirmation of your order details. The fact that you receive an automatic confirmation does not necessarily mean that we will be able to meet your order. Once we have sent the order confirmation email we will then check availability. If the Goods are available and the details of the order are correct, we will send you an order acceptance email which constitutes an acceptance of your order, confirming the price of the Goods purchased and the fact that it has shipped.
2.9 If your order has not been accepted – since the Goods are not available or for any other reason – you will be notified of this in writing together with the reasons.

Prices for Fixed Subscriptions and Ongoing Subscriptions are additionally displayed via Subscription Portal, but prices there include delivery charges only for the UK deliveries. Delivery charges for other destinations are as quoted upon your initial order for a Subscription and on the Subscription Portal front page, and they are added into prices before your card is charged.
