However if we discover an error in the price of Product(s) you ordered, please see clause 12.6 for what happens in this event.
12.2 Prices for our Products may change from time to time, but changes will not affect any order which we have dispatched to you.

We will not process your order until we have your instructions. If we are unable to contact you using the contact details you provided during the order process, we will treat the order as cancelled and notify you in writing. Please note that if the pricing error is obvious and could have reasonably been recognised by you as a mispricing, we do not have to provide the Products to you at the incorrect (lower) price.
