• Acknowledging receipt of your order. After you place an order, you will receive an email from us acknowledging that we have received it, but please note that this does not mean that your order has been accepted, The D-Day Story and associated events are subject to availability.

• If we cannot accept your order. If we are unable to accept your order, we will inform you of this in writing and will not charge you for the product. This might be because the event ticket(s) have sold out, because of unexpected limits on our resources which we could not reasonably plan for, our inability to obtain authorisation of payment, or because we have identified an error in the price or description of the event.
