2.3 - The Client acknowledges that Ross & Co only stocks certain denominations of each currency and that any Contracts will be processed in accordance with the denominations available at any one time.
2.4 - Any Order is subject to confirmation by Ross & Co whereupon, subject to any correction of Manifest Errors, it will become a legally binding Contract. An Order will be confirmed upon the Order appearing as “confirmed” on the Website.

If Ross & Co in its sole discretion decides to make a change to the Contract at the request of the Client, it may charge an administration fee of up to £25.
2.5 - If Ross & Co does not accept an Order the Client will be notified on the Website. In this event, the Client will not be charged. Please note, the Debit/Credit Card issuer may still reserve the relevant funds for a period of time and the Client should contact the Debit/Credit Card issuer direct in such circumstances.
2.6 - Ross & Co will not fulfil a Contract where; the Client fails to provide Ross & Co with material information when required or where information provided is materially incorrect or misleading; or Ross & Co suspects fraud; or Ross & Co is required to do so on the instruction of any law enforcement or regulatory agency or other body with appropriate authority (in which case Ross & Co may retain or otherwise deal with all or any of the Client's money as v is required to do so by such agency or body).

Except in the event of a Manifest Error, the current prices, fees and/or charges will be those quoted to the Client via the Website or over the telephone. Ross & Co will, when making a determination as to whether a situation amounts to a Manifest Error, act fairly towards the Client but the fact that the Client may have entered into, or refrained from entering into, a corresponding financial commitment, contract or transaction in reliance on a Order placed with Ross & Co (or that the Client has suffered or may suffer any loss) will not be taken into account by Ross & Co in determining whether there has been a Manifest Error.

In instances where a Bank Holiday is between your order date and your payment date we will allow extra time. You must attach your order number to the payment to enable us to identify the funds upon receipt. Failure to do this will likely add processing time to your order.

Ross & Co reserves the right to amend the exchange rate to the prevailing rate on the day the funds are identified.
