4. HOW THE AGREEMENT IS FORMED BETWEEN US
4.1 When you place an order with us for Products, we will send you an e-mail acknowledging receipt 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 Products. All orders are subject to acceptance by us, and we will confirm such acceptance to you by sending you an e-mail that confirms acceptance of your order (Acceptance Order Acknowledgement). As soon as we receive payment from you in cleared funds in accordance with clause 8 we will send you an e-mail confirming that the Products are in stock and have been dispatched (the Dispatch Confirmation). The contract between us (Contract) will only be formed when we send you the Dispatch Confirmation.

6. CONSUMER RIGHTS
6.1 All Product prices are determined on fluctuations in the financial market (e.g. the Forex Gold Index, Dubai Gold Futures Index etc.) and therefore all Contracts are exempt from any cancellation rights granted under the Consumer Protection (Distance Selling Regulations) 2000.
7. DELIVERY
7.1 We will set out the delivery date or delivery dates on which we expect the Product or Products to be delivered to you (the "Delivery Date") in our Dispatch Confirmation. Please note that the Delivery Date is not a guaranteed delivery date and time will not be of the essence.
7.2 We will use reasonable endeavours to ensure that the Products are delivered to you in accordance with the Delivery Date.
7.3 The Product will be delivered to the address of the card holders paying for the Products, unless payment has been made by bank transfer in which we will deliver the Products to the address notified to us.

8. PAYMENT
8.1 The price of any Products will be as quoted on our site from time to time, except in cases of obvious error. We are under no obligation to provide Products to you at an incorrect (lower price) if the pricing error is obvious and could reasonably have been recognised by you as a pricing error.

The prices exclude delivery costs, which will be added to the total amount due and will be set out on our site from time to time.
8.4 Prices are liable to change at any time, but changes will not affect orders in respect of which we have already sent you an Acceptance Order Acknowledgement.
