Orders received by Commercial Christmas cannot be cancelled without Commercial Christmas’s written consent.

Commercial Christmas reserves the right to correct any significant errors or omissions of any kind in its offers, quotations, Order confirmations or invoices, and the correction will be binding on Commercial Christmas and the Buyer.

The Prices charges for the Services and/or Goods will be as specified in the Order or as otherwise agreed in writing, signed by the director of Commercial Christmas.

Unless Commercial Christmas agrees in writing, signed by the director of Commercial Christmas, if the Buyer fails or refuses or indicates to Commercial Christmas that it will fail or refuse, to take or accept delivery then the products will be deemed to have been delivered when Commercial Christmas was ready, willing and able to deliver them.
