MTL tries to ensure that all information on the Website, including description of goods and listed prices, are accurate and correct at all times. However, mistakes or errors may occur from time to time.

The customer is responsible for checking that the actual size and specification of the goods is suitable for purpose. Goods are subject to availability. MTL does not provide any guarantee that it will be able to supply a customer’s order. MTL reserves the right to withdraw any goods from sale at any time, and MTL’s only liability to a customer for withdrawing any goods will be to refund any money paid to MTL in respect of those goods which are no longer available. MTL does not give the customer any assurances that the information contained or goods advertised on the Website are or will be suitable for the customer’s purposes. MTL does not warrant that goods acquired from MTL over this Website will meet the customer’s requirements. The customer agrees that the customer has relied upon the customer’s own independent assessment when purchasing goods.
Order of Goods
Placement of an order with MTL constitutes an offer to purchase goods. Acceptance of a customer’s order will take place only when MTL dispatches the goods. No contract is formed until MTL dispatches the goods. MTL reserves the right, at its sole discretion and without need to give reasons, to decline any offer at any time before it has been accepted by MTL. Should MTL decline a customer’s order MTL shall notify the customer as soon as reasonably possible and refund any payment made by the customer in respect of the goods within 3 working days.
