6.1. You may place orders for Journals, which Blue Phoenix may accept or reject. Whether or not Blue Phoenix
accepts an order depends on the availability of Journals, correctness of the information relating to the Journals (including without limitation the price) and receipt of payment or payment authorisation by Blue Phoenix for the Journals.
6.2. Blue Phoenix will indicate the acceptance of your order by delivering the Journals to you or allowing you to collect them, and only at that point will an agreement of sale between you and Blue Phoenix come into effect (the “Sale”). This is regardless of any communication from Blue Phoenix stating that your order or payment has been confirmed. Blue Phoenix will indicate the rejection of your order by cancelling it and, as soon as possible thereafter, refunding you for any amount already paid.
6.3. You acknowledge that stock of all Journals on offer is limited, and that pricing may change at any time without notice to you. In the case of Journals for sale by Blue Phoenix, Blue Phoenix will take all reasonable efforts to monitor stock levels and ensure that when stock is no longer available, that offers thereof are discontinued on the Website.

6.5. Placing Journals in a shopping basket without completing the purchase does not constitute an order for
such Journals, and as such, Journals may be removed from the shopping basket if stock is no longer available, or the price thereof changes without notice to you. A purchase is deemed complete only once you have made payment and we have received your payment into our bank account.
6.6. You cannot hold Blue Phoenix liable if such Journals are not available or are not available at the particular price when you complete or attempt to complete the purchase at a later stage.
6.7. Journals may not be purchased for re-sale. You agree note to reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, resell or exploit any portion of the Journal. Should we suspect that any such Journals are being purchased for sale, we are entitled to cancel your order immediately on notice to you.
