2. By purchasing such goods, you:

2.1   acknowledge that you have been informed by us that the clearance goods are offered in the condition described, and

2.2 agree to accept such goods in the condition described 

Conclusion of sales and availability of stock

1. Once you register, you may place orders for goods, which Chamdor may accept or reject. Whether or not Chamdor accepts an order depends on the availability of the goods, correctness of the information relating to the goods (including without limitation the price) and receipt of payment or payment authorisation by Chamdor for the goods.
2. NOTE: Chamdor will indicate the acceptance of your order by delivering the goods to you (at your cost) or allowing you to collect them (at your cost) , and only at that point will an agreement of sale between you and Chamdor  come into effect (“the sale”). This is regardless of any communication from Chamdor stating that your order or payment has been confirmed. Chamdor may cancel or reject a confirmed order and will indicate the rejection of your order by cancelling it and, as soon as possible thereafter, refunding you for any amount already paid.
3. Prior to delivery or your collection of the goods, you may cancel an order at any time provided you do so before receiving a dispatch or delivery notice. After delivery or your collection of the goods, you may return the goods only in accordance with the Returns Policy.
4. Placing Goods in a wish list or shopping basket without completing the purchase cycle does not constitute an order for such goods, and as such, goods may be removed from the shopping basket if stock is no longer available or the price thereof might change without notice to you. You cannot hold Chamdor liable if such goods are not available or are not available at the particular price when you complete or attempt to complete the purchase cycle at a later stage.
5. You acknowledge that stock of all goods on offer is limited and that pricing may change at any time without notice to you. In the case of goods for sale by Chamdor, Chamdor will take all reasonable efforts to monitor stock levels and ensure that when stock is no longer available, that offers thereof are discontinued on the website. However, we cannot guarantee the availability of stock. When goods are no longer available after you have placed an order, Chamdor will notify you and you will be entitled to a refund of any amount already paid by you for such Goods.
