Sales of Goods made via this Site

1. Parties to the Contract

This website and The Toddler Learning Store is not the seller of any goods purchased via this website.

The seller (whom we shall now call “Seller”) of each item is identified in the online catalogue under the picture for each item.  When you press a buy now button and proceed to check out you are making an offer to purchase the goods from that Seller.  A contract does not come into existence until the Seller has accepted the offer from you by email acknowledging receipt and acceptance of your order.  If you have included items from more than one Seller in your basket then you are making separate offers to the various Sellers and will have a separate contract with each Seller who accepts your offer.  In this case you will receive an email from each.  For the avoidance of doubt, acknowledging receipt of your order is not the same as acceptance of your order and it is possible for one Seller to accept your offer and for another Seller not to.

2. Price

All prices are quoted in pounds Sterling and are inclusive of VAT unless otherwise specified.
Prices are subject to any changes to the rate or applicability of VAT
All item prices are exclusive of delivery and packaging, unless otherwise stated. Details of our delivery charges are found in the "Postage" and “Handling” sections of our catalogue.
