You acknowledge and agree that WorldGate Trading Company's role is limited to procuring products available in Hong Kong and other regions and making these products available through the site to you for purchase in Hong Kong and for your import to your country.

You will have an opportunity to check and correct any input errors in your order up until you click the Confirm Order button.

After you confirmed an order we will give you an Order Number and details of the products you have ordered. We will send the same details to you in an e-mail automatically when we received your order. Please note that these e-mails are acknowledgements, not acceptance of your order.

Acceptance of your order and the creation of a legally binding contract between us will only occur when we send you a second e-mail, which confirmed that your order status has been updated to 'Processing. Alternatively, we may decline all or part of your order for any reason, in which case our second e-mail will tell you so and explain why.

When deciding whether or not to accept your order we may use certain information about you, including any received from SagePay and Streamline who are our card payment processing agency or other related agencies.

Every effort is made to ensure that prices shown on this website are accurate at the time you place your order. If within 1 working day of receiving your order (but before the second email which confirm the acceptance of your order) a pricing error is found in respect of any or all of the goods you have ordered, we will notify you as soon as possible detailing the mis-priced goods and offering you the option of:

1. placing a new order at the correct price for those goods.

2. cancelling the whole of your order; or

3. cancelling your order for the mis-priced goods and reconfirming your order for the correctly priced goods.

4. If, within 7 working days of receipt of our notice to you, you have not responded by selecting one of the available options at conditions 1 to 3 above then:

(a) if all of the goods you have ordered are found to be mis-priced, the entire order will be cancelled automatically and we will refund or re-credit you for any sum you have paid for those goods; or

(b) if only some of the goods you have ordered are found to be mis-priced, our contract with you continues and we will deliver the correctly priced goods but we will not be obliged to supply you with the mis-priced goods. In these circumstances we will refund or re-credit you for any sum you have paid for the mis-priced goods.

To avoid any doubt, where goods are unavailable and you order alternative goods from us, or where goods have been mis-priced and you subsequently order such goods at the correct price, these terms of sale shall apply to the order and the supply of the relevant goods.
