    • 4. HOW TO MAKE AN ORDER AND HOW IT IS PROCESSED

    • 4.1 Compiling your Order: Once you have selected the Products you wish to order from the Product of your chosen Supplier and provided the other required information, you will be given the opportunity to submit your Order by clicking or selecting the "proceed", "place my order" or similar button. It is important that you check all the information that you enter and correct any errors before clicking or selecting this button; once you do so we will start processing your Order and errors cannot be corrected.
    • 4.2 Amending or cancelling your Order: Once you have submitted your Order and your payment has been authorised, you will not be entitled to change or cancel your Order, nor will you be entitled to a refund (please refer to paragraph 4.4 for details of the process relating to rejected Orders). If you wish to change or cancel your Order, you may contact our Customer Care team as described in paragraph 6.3 and they will attempt to contact the Supplier in order to communicate your requests. However, there is no guarantee that we will be able to reach the Supplier or that the Supplier will agree to your requests as they may have already started processing your Order.
    • 4.3 Payment authorisation: Where any payment you make is not authorised, your Order will not be processed or communicated to the relevant Supplier.
    • 4.4 Processing your Order and Supplier rejections: On receipt of your Order, we will begin processing it by sending it to the relevant Supplier and will notify you by email that your Order has been received and is being processed. Please note that any confirmation page that you may see on the Website and any Order confirmation e-mail that you may receive each merely indicate that your Order has been received and is being processed by us, and does not necessarily mean that your Order has been accepted by the Supplier. We encourage all our Suppliers to accept all Orders and to communicate any rejection promptly, and we will notify you (generally by email) as soon as reasonably practicable if a Supplier rejects your Order. However, Suppliers have the discretion to reject Orders at any time because they cannot meet the delivery targets, due to weather conditions or for any other reason.
    • 4.5 Delivery of your Order: Estimated times for deliveries and collections are provided by the Suppliers and are only estimates. Neither we nor the Suppliers guarantee that Orders will be delivered or will be available for collection within the estimated times.

    • 5. PRICE AND PAYMENT

    • 5.1 VAT and delivery costs: Prices will be as quoted on the Website. These prices include VAT but may exclude delivery costs (if you opt for delivery instead of collection) and any online payment administration charge imposed by the Supplier (if you pay for your Order online). These will be added to the total amount due where applicable.
    • 5.2 Incorrect pricing: This Website contains a large number of products and it is possible that some of the products may include incorrect prices. If the correct price for an Order is higher than the price stated on the Website, we will normally contact you before the relevant Order is dispatched. In such an event, neither we nor the relevant Supplier is under any obligation to ensure that the Order is provided to you at the incorrect lower price or to compensate you in respect of incorrect pricing.
    • 5.3 Payment methods: Payment for Orders must be made by an accepted credit or debit card through the Website or in cash to the Supplier at the point of delivery to you.
    • 5.4 Card payments: If you pay by credit or debit card, you may be required to show the card to the Supplier at the time of delivery as proof of identification and so that they can check that the card conforms with the receipt data for the Order. Please note that from time to time there may be delays with the processing of card payments and transactions; this may result in payments taking up to sixty (60) days to be deducted from your bank account or charged to your credit or debit card.
    • 5.5 Credit and discount vouchers: A credit or discount may apply to your Order if you use a promotional voucher or code recognised by the Website and endorsed by GAS VILLAGE , and you pay for any balance by credit or debit card. Please refer to our voucher terms for the full terms and conditions applicable to the use of credit and discount vouchers. Please note that because of standard banking procedures, your bank or card issuer will initially "ring-fence" the full amount of the Order (before any credit or discount) in your account for between 3 to 5 working days (or longer, depending on your bank or card issuer), and this amount will therefore be unavailable in your account for that period. The credit or discount will be applied at the time your bank or card issuer transfers the funds for your Order to us, at which point the credit or discounted amount will not be transferred to us and will instead be released by your bank or card issuer back into your available balance. You acknowledge and agree that neither we nor the relevant Supplier will be responsible or liable to you in relation to this delay by your bank or card issuer in the release of funds back into your account.
    • 5.6 Rejected Orders: Because of standard banking procedures, once you have submitted an Order that you are paying for by credit or debit card and your payment has been authorised, your bank or card issuer will "ring-fence" the full amount of your Order. If your Order is subsequently rejected by the Supplier (as described in paragraph 4.4 above) or cancelled for any other reason, your bank or card issuer will not transfer the funds for the Order to us, and will instead release the relevant amount back into your available balance. However, this may take between 3 to 5 working days (or longer, depending on your bank or card issuer). You acknowledge and agree that neither we nor the relevant Supplier will be responsible or liable to you in relation to this delay by your bank or card issuer in the release of funds back into your account.Estimated times for deliveries and collections are provided by the Suppliers and are only estimates. Neither we nor the Suppliers guarantee that Orders will be delivered or will be available for collection within the estimated times.

    • 6. CUSTOMER CARE
