Although we warrant that the Products will, at the time of delivery, correspond to the description given by us all Products we sell are of a technical nature and it is not practical to publish detailed specifications of all the Products. All images, descriptive matter, specifications and advertising are for the sole purpose of giving an approximate description of the Products. Whilst we endeavour to ensure all information is correct at the time of publication, Product specifications do vary. As such we cannot accept responsibility for incorrect information. Full details are available from the original Manufacturer’s brochures and websites. Except where the Customer is dealing as a Consumer, all other warranties, conditions or terms relating to fitness for purpose, merchantability or conditions of the Products whether implied by statute, common law or otherwise are excluded and the Customer warrants that the Customer is satisfied as to the suitability of the Products for the Customer's purpose.
