Where the correct price is lower than the price stated on the site you will be charged the lower amount unless paragraph 8.5 below applies.

8.7. The Studio takes reasonable care to ensure that its online payment facility is available and functioning at all times, but cannot guarantee continuous, uninterrupted or secure access to such facility, nor can we guarantee that the facility is virus or error free. We also try to ensure that your payments are processed promptly, but it is often difficult to predict the amount of time needed to complete processing because it is dependent upon many factors outside of our control, such as delays in the banking system or in card networks.
