• Our contract with you

1. 1. 1. How we will accept your order. Our acceptance of your order will take place when you tick the box confirming that you have read both these terms and conditions, and the related license agreement, and then click the button that says “Place Order”, at which point a contract will come into existence between you and us. The Rithum System is not for resale.
      2. If we cannot accept your order. If we are unable to accept your order, we will inform you of this in writing and will not charge you for the Rithum System. This might be because the Rithum System is out of stock, because of unexpected limits on our resources which we could not reasonably plan for, because we are unable to meet a delivery deadline you have specified, or other reasons beyond our reasonable control. 
      3. We only sell to the UK and other nations within the EU. Our website is solely for the promotion of the Rithum System in the UK and the EU. Unfortunately, we do not accept orders from, or deliver to, addresses outside the UK or the EU.
