We accept the payment methods displayed during checkout. Payment is due at the time of placing your order. Your order will be processed after successful payment.
4. Formation of Contract
A binding purchase agreement is formed when you receive an order confirmation from us by email. We reserve the right to refuse or cancel an order in exceptional circumstances (e.g. pricing errors, stock unavailability, or failure to pass age verification).

We aim to process and ship orders within 1–2 business days. Estimated delivery times are provided during checkout and are indicative only.

Risk of loss and damage passes to you upon delivery. However, if a product arrives damaged, please refer to our Return & Refund Policy.
