In such cases, the Intermediary acts as a disclosed intermediary between the seller of the goods and the customer (the Client).

12. The Client should be aware that the price of the Intermediary’s service will be calculated on an individual basis during the delivery of goods from the United Kingdom, because the Intermediary does not have the ability to provide a general pricelist in advance due to the constantly changing fees that affect the total price of the service in the United Kingdom.
