    1. Where to find the price for the services. The price of the services (which includes VAT) will be the price set out on the booking page. We take all reasonable care to ensure that the prices of services advised to you are correct. However please see clause 10.3 for what happens if we discover an error in the price of the services you book and clause 5 for our rights to make changes to the services. 
    2. We will pass on changes in the rate of VAT. If the rate of VAT changes between your booking date and the date we provide the services, we will adjust the rate of VAT that you pay, unless you have already paid for the services in full before the change in the rate of VAT takes effect.
    3. What happens if we got the price wrong. It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the services we sell may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices before accepting your booking so that, where the service’s correct price at your booking date is less than our stated price at your booking date, we will charge the lower amount. If the service’s correct price at your booking date is higher than the price stated on our website, we will contact you for your instructions before we accept your booking. If we accept and process your booking where a pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could reasonably have been recognised by you as a mispricing, we may end the contract, refund you any sums you have paid and not perform the services.
    4. When you must pay and how you must pay. When you make your booking you must pay a deposit of 25% of the price of the services. We reserve the right to vary the deposit as appropriate.

This interest shall accrue on a daily basis from the due date until the date of actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgment. You must pay us interest together with any overdue amount.
    7. What to do if you think an invoice is wrong. If you think an invoice is wrong please contact us promptly to let us know. You will not have to pay any interest until the dispute is resolved. Once the dispute is resolved we will charge you interest on correctly invoiced sums from the original due date.
