Governing Law and Contract Formation

In respect of any orders that are placed by telephone, by correspondence or in person, the standard OSC terms applicable to such orders in force from time to time shall apply to those orders (and only to those orders) instead of these General Terms and Conditions, the Terms and Conditions of Sale.

Information displayed on the Web Site relating to pricing and availability is subject to change by OSC without notice.  The pricing which will apply to your order will be that displayed on the Web Site on the day you make the order.

Further, any such contract will be interpreted, construed and enforced in all respects in accordance with the laws of England, and you and OSC irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English Courts.
