The Site is operated by Kind Patches Limited (we / us). We are registered in England and Wales under company number 15263256 with our registered office at 4 Kitsbury Court, Kitsbury Terrace, Berkhamsted HP4 3EL. 

  1. How the contract is formed between you and us

2.1 You may place an order to purchase a Product advertised for sale on the Site by following the onscreen prompts after clicking on the item you are interested in. You will have an opportunity to check and correct any input errors in your order up until the point at which you submit your order by clicking the "Proceed to Secure Payment" button on the "Payment details" page. No amends can be made by you to your order after this point.

2.2 After placing an order, you will receive an e-mail from us acknowledging that we have received your order and giving you an order number and a summary of your order. Please note that this does not mean that your order has been accepted. Your order constitutes an offer to us to buy a Product. All orders are subject to acceptance by us, and we will confirm such acceptance to you by sending you an e-mail that confirms that the Product has been dispatched (the Dispatch Confirmation). The contract between us for the sale of a Product will only be formed when we send you the Dispatch Confirmation for the relevant Product. If you order several Products from us which are being delivered at different times or separately from a 3rd Party Supplier, each contract is formed when we provide the Dispatch Confirmation for each Product.

2.3 Each Contract will relate only to those Products whose dispatch we have confirmed in the Dispatch Confirmation. We will not be obliged to supply any other Products which may have been part of your order until the dispatch of such Products has been confirmed in a separate Dispatch Confirmation.
