  At the point an order is submitted, it is deemed that the Purchaser has agreed to, and is bound by, the terms and conditions herein described by the company. That acceptance will be deemed complete and will be deemed for all purposes to have been effectively communicated to you at the time the Company sends the e-mail confirmation to the Purchaser (whether or not you receive that e-mail). For the avoidance of doubt, any such contract will be deemed to have been concluded in the United Kingdom. Further, any such contract will be interpreted, construed and enforced in all respects in accordance with the laws of England and the Purchaser and the Company irrevocably submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the English Courts.
