2.2 If we are unable to accept your order, we will inform you of this in writing and will not charge you for the Product. This might be because the Product is out of stock, because of unexpected limits on our resources which we could not reasonably plan for, or because we have identified an error in the price or description of the Product.

2.3 Payment can be made by any method specified in the check-out section of the Site. We will take all reasonable precautions to keep the details of your order and payment secure.
