ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS 
Rodanthe reserves the right to make changes to these Terms & Conditions at any time, and such changes will become effective and binding upon posting.  Consequently, the action of placing an order implies complete adherence, without reservation, to these Terms & Conditions.

​
CONCLUSION OF CONTRACT
The presentation of the Product(s) on Rodanthe’s website does not represent any legally binding offer, but a non-binding online catalogue. An Order is only possible when all the obligatory fields have been filled in.
On Rodanthe’s website the Client will be guided through the steps necessary to place an order. The Client may submit the offer via the online order form integrated into Rodanthe’s website. In doing so, after having placed the selected goods in the virtual basket and passed through the ordering process, and by clicking the button marked "Complete Order" ( or similar), the Client submits a legally binding offer of contract with regard to the goods contained in the shopping cart. At the same time the Client confirms that he has read and understood the current Terms & Conditions. 
Rodanthe’s order process allows the Client to check and amend any input errors before submitting a binding order via Rodanthe’s online order form. The Client may recognize input errors by reading attentively the information displayed on the screen. Rodanthe’s acceptance of the Clients order will take place with an email confirmation to the email address the Client has register during the order process, summarising the order ( products, prices, product availability, quantity, estimated delivery date etc.). At this point Rodanthe will process the payment details the Client has given to Roanthe to take payment for the Order. 

If Rodanthe  is unable to accept the Clients order, Rodanthe will notify the Client by email. This might be because the Product(s) is out of stock, because of unexpected limits on resources, which could not have been foreseen, because an error in the price or description of the Product(s) has been identified or because the requested delivery deadline cannot be met. 
In addition, Rodanthe reserves the right to reject orders from Clients if there is reason to believe that the Client is acting in contravention of these Terms and Conditions, is involved in fraudulent activities or other activities of importance from a criminal law standpoint or any other material reason exists.
Order processing and contacting usually takes place via e-mail and automated order processing. It is the Client’s responsibility to ensure that the e-mail address he provides for the order processing is accurate so that e-mails sent by  Rodanathe can be received at this address. Particularly, it is the Client`s responsibility, if SPAM filters are used, to ensure that all e-mails sent by Rodanthe or by third parties commissioned by Rodanthe with the order processing can be delivered.
