3.2 If We Cannot Accept Your Order: If, for any reason, we are unable to accept your order, we will inform you via email and will not charge you for the product. This might occur due to a product being out of stock, an error in pricing or product description, safety concerns, or if we cannot verify that you are over 18 years of age or if you reside in a country we cannot supply to (see clause 3.4 below).

3.3 Your Order Number: When we accept your order, we will provide you with an order number for reference in any future communication.

3.6 Age Verification: To comply with legal requirements and prevent fraud, we conduct electronic age verification on our customers. We will verify your age when you open an account and may re-verify it if your personal details change (e.g., your delivery address or email). We use Experian for electronic verification, sharing your name, address, and date of birth. If we cannot verify your age electronically, we will request documentary evidence (e.g., a copy of your passport or driver's license) to confirm that you are over 18.
