estimated completion date. The remaining balance i.e. 50% and any extra costs; delivery
costs; is to be paid on completion of order. Changes requested to the
instrument specification, custom work, or additional accessories, will be
costed and added to the outstanding balance due.

proportionate to the consultation time, preparation of drawings, new

notification has been given that work has begun, full payment is expected
upon completion. If you cancel your order during this period the item will
continue to be made and sold with every effort to achieve the highest
price. Any losses incurred will be deducted from your deposit.
