3.3 Some product images and the final product may look slightly different. You should also consider colours and quality of the image may vary slightly from computer to computer and therefore should only be considered as a guide.
3.4 From time to time a manufacturer may change or improve the product slightly without notifying us – this may include the packing, ingredients, materials used, size etc.. While we constantly monitor the goods supplied to us and update our web sites accordingly it is impossible to be 100% accurate and the goods we supply may not match the descriptions or photographs exactly. The products supplied to you will be the current version as supplied in the UK to us by the manufacturer or distributor.
