If we are unable to accept your order, we will inform you of this by email, post or telephone (depending on how you placed your order) and will not charge you for the Goods. This might be because the Goods are out of stock, because of unexpected limits on our resources which we could not reasonably plan for, because we have identified an error in the price or description of the Goods, because we are unable to meet a delivery deadline you have specified, or if we reasonably believe you are intending to resell the Goods as a part of a business, trade, craft or profession (whether on e-Bay or otherwise).
