It is buying products from Bosta wholly or mainly for personal use (not for use in connection with its trade, business, craft or profession).2.2 These Conditions apply to the Contract to the exclusion of any other terms that the Customer seeks to impose or incorporate, or which are implied by law, trade custom, practice or course of dealing.

2.3 The Order constitutes an offer by the Customer to purchase the Goods in accordance with these Conditions. The Customer is responsible for ensuring that the terms of the Order are complete and accurate.

2.4 The Order shall only be deemed to be accepted when Bosta issues a written acceptance of the Order, at which point the Contract shall come into existence.
