Depending on Your card provider, You may be redirected to a card verification page in which You will be asked to enter certain letters or numbers of Your secret password.

If you choose to take out a Finance Package, You will have to complete additional documentation with the finance provider. This takes additional time and we will only be able to process Your Order once the finance provider has completed their documentation and checks. Finance Package Orders tend to be processed 5 to 10 days after the date of the Order.
5.2 Some Goods may have a long lead-time. For example, if a bike is a special order, there are no bikes in the country or we have to wait for a supplier to get delivery. In such circumstances, the finance payments make commence before You receive the Goods.
5.3 Delivery charges will be added at checkout.

6.6 Where You have taken out a Finance Package, You have the right to a 14 day “cooling off” period. Where this applies, You must return the Goods to us unused and in a saleable condition within 7 days of notifying us of Your decision to cancel the Finance Package.
