3.2. Price updates may happen at any time, but changes will not affect orders for which a Shipping Confirmation has already been sent.
3.3. Pricing Errors: The price of each product will be as quoted on our website, except in cases of obvious error. If we discover an error in the price of any product you have ordered, we will inform you as soon as possible and give you the option to either reconfirm your order at the correct price or cancel it. If we are unable to contact you, the order will be deemed as cancelled and you will receive a full refund.
3.4. We are under no obligation to supply you with any product at an incorrect lower price (even after sending a Shipping Confirmation) if the pricing error is obvious and unequivocal and could have been reasonably recognized by you as an incorrect price.
4. Ordering Process & Payment Methods
4.1. Orders are processed securely through Shopify. After finalizing an order, the customer will receive an automated confirmation email outlining order specifications, delivery addresses, product details, and invoicing. Customers are responsible for reviewing these details immediately.
