3 Ordering goods
3.1 Contract formation: This website and the information on it constitute an invitation to treat and not an offer to supply goods.

3.2 Order Process: You may order goods from us by completing the relevant form online or emailing sales@keasigmadelta.com and providing us with the details of your order. You must provide all required information (including your name, physical address and email address, including your payment preference or we might not be able to process your order). We shall then accept your order through our website following our receipt of your payment for that order or by e-mail confirmation. Our message will also confirm details of your purchase and tell you when your order will be available for download (for downloadable goods), or when we shall despatch your order (for physical goods).
3.3 Our discretion in rejecting or accepting orders: No order shall be deemed accepted by us until we have sent you an order confirmation. We will endeavour to notify you whether we have accepted or rejected your order and, if applicable, to confirm the details of your order within 2 days. If you do not receive our notification within 3 days please contact us at sales@keasigmadelta.com. We reserve the exclusive right to accept or reject (for any reason whatsoever and in whole or in part) any order submitted by you. If we reject your order (or part of your order), any money paid by you in relation to the rejected part of that order shall be refunded and we shall have no further liability to you in relation to the rejected part of that order.
