4. Prices, Taxes and Duties and Customs Policies
Price charged for the Product is the price effective at the time you place your order and the price is confirmed in the order confirmation. If the price at the Store is incorrect due to a typo or other comparable mistake, the incorrect price is not binding on Roberts.

EU Customers
If you order Products from a country or location belonging to EU customs and taxation union, prices are exclusive of transportation and handling cost, value added tax and other applicable taxes.
Non-EU Customers
If you order Products from a country or location not belonging to EU customs and taxation union, the prices are exclusive of transportation and handling costs, but you may have to pay value added taxes or other additional taxes and/or customs duties. You may also be required to pay a brokerage (handling) fee for the shipment. These charges are separate from the price charged by Roberts and are levied once the package reaches the specified destination.
We request that you contact your customs office and ask about import regulations and restrictions as well as applicable taxes and duties before placing your order. It is important for you to become familiar with customs policies for your specific country or location before ordering. Customs regulations differ by country and not knowing their regulations can result in your order incurring high import duties, the delivery being delayed or even returned. Please check with your customs office to see if your country permits the shipment of the Products you are planning to order from us and if any additional licenses or permits are needed.
You are responsible for complying with the laws and regulations in the country of destination including, but not limited those regarding customs procedures and payment of the applicable duties and levies.
5. Processing the Orders and Conclusion of the Contract
Your order is an offer to purchase the Products listed in your Order. We may choose not to accept orders in our sole discretion, particularly notably unusual orders or orders that have not been submitted in good faith. When you place an order to purchase a Product from Roberts, we will send you an e-mail confirming receipt of your order and containing the details of your order (the “Order Acknowledgement E-mail”). The Order Acknowledgement E-mail is acknowledgement that we have received your order, and does not confirm acceptance of your offer to buy the Product(s) ordered. We only accept your offer, and conclude the contract of sale for the Products ordered by you, when we send the e-mail order confirmation to you (the “Order Confirmation E-mail”)
We recommend that you keep the Order Confirmation E-mail for possible further use as the Order Confirmation E-mail is your receipt of the purchase.
