We may also change a Product in order to implement minor technical adjustments and improvements. We do not anticipate that these changes will materially affect your use or enjoyment of the Product.

We deliver products to many international destinations. An international destination means any destination outside the Republic of Ireland. We charge Irish VAT and Irish excise duty on all sales made from this website bound for the EU. Any sale made to a customer outside the EU will not be liable for Irish VAT and therefore Irish VAT will not be charged.
For any delivery made to an international destination, your purchase may be liable for local sales taxes or import duties or other charges on arrival in your country which may be charged at the time your package is clearing customs or at any other time.
Before you place an order on this website from an international destination you should contact your local customs office with regards to the charges mentioned in 14.2.
We are not responsible or liable for any of the charges mentioned in 14.2. All or any additional charges are your responsibility as the legal owner of the goods. Failure to pay any charges may result in the goods being destroyed by customs or returned to us. If the goods are returned to us, we will deduct any shipping or associated costs from any refund owed to you and return the balance.
You must comply with all applicable laws and regulations of the Republic of Ireland, of the country from which the order is placed and of the country for which the Product is destined. We will not be liable or responsible if you break any such law.
