Products cannot be reserved for later purchase, and placing a Product in your shopping basket without completing the purchase does not constitute an Order for, or a Purchase of such Product. Consequently, prior to actual Purchase, HC may remove any Product from your shopping basket if stock of the Product is no longer available.
The invoice in respect of your Purchase will be available online in the "My Account" section of the Site. A copy of such invoice will also be included with the Product when delivered.
