4. OUR CONTRACT WITH YOU
4.1 Our acceptance of your order will take place when we email you to accept it, at which point a contract will come into existence between you and us.
4.2 If we are unable to accept your order, we will inform you of this and will not charge you for the goods or will refund you in accordance with clause 9.3 if payment has already been made. This might be because what you have ordered is out of stock, because we have identified an error in the price or description of the items ordered or because we are unable to meet a collection time you have specified.
4.3 We will assign an order number to your order and tell you what it is when we accept your order. It will help us if you can tell us the order number if you contact us about your order.
4.4 Our Site is solely for the promotion of our goods in the UK. Unfortunately, we do not accept orders from customers outside the UK.
5. OUR FOOD
Any images of the food on our Site are for illustrative purposes only. Although we have made every effort to display the options accurately, your food may vary slightly from those images.
6. YOUR RIGHTS TO MAKE CHANGES
If you wish to make a change to your order once it has been placed please contact us as soon as possible and in any event at least 45 minutes before the agreed collection time. We will let you know if the change is possible. If it is possible we will let you know about any changes to the price of the order, the timing of collection or anything else which may be different as a result of your requested change and ask you to confirm whether you wish to go ahead with the change. If we 3 cannot make the change or the consequences of making the change are unacceptable to you, you may want to cancel part of the order or cancel the order in full and end the contract (see clause 9).
7. OUR RIGHTS TO MAKE CHANGES
We may make minor changes to the goods or the way they are prepared to reflect any changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements.
8. COLLECTING YOUR ORDER
8.1 During the order process we will confirm an estimated time when your order will be ready for collection at our address above. We do not currently offer a delivery service so all orders made online are for collection only and all collection times are estimates only.
8.2 If there is a delay in getting your order ready for collection then we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and we will do what we can to minimise the delay. Provided we do this we will not be liable for delays caused by any event that is outside of our control, but if there is a risk of substantial delay, you may contact us to cancel the order and receive a refund for any items you have paid for but not received.
8.3 You can collect the goods from the time we specify as being the time for collection of the order in your confirmation email. Orders can only be collected during our opening hours specified on our Site, as amended from time to time.
8.4 If you do not collect your order from us as arranged, we will contact you for further instructions. If, despite our reasonable efforts, we are unable to contact you or re-arrange collection within a reasonable time we may end the contract and may still charge you for the order as it has already been prepared.
8.5 We will not be responsible for failure to supply the goods (or any part of them) on time if this is caused by you not giving us any relevant information we need within a reasonable time of us asking for it.
9. CANCELLING THE CONTRACT
9.1 As the goods that we supply are by their nature perishable and liable to deteriorate rapidly after the agreed collection time, your general right to cancel the contract within 14 days of purchase as under the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 does not apply.
9.2 To cancel an order and end the contract with us, please call or email us at least 45 minutes before the agreed collection time using the details at clause 2.2 above. Please provide your name, details of the order, any order number provided in the confirmation email and, where applicable, your phone number and email address.
9.3 If you cancel the order and we accept the cancellation, we will refund you the price you paid for the goods, by the method you used for payment, within 14 days of your cancellation.
10. OUR RIGHTS TO END THE CONTRACT
10.1 We may end the contract for the goods at any time by writing to you if:
10.1.1 you do not, within a reasonable time of us asking for it, provide us with any additional information that is necessary for us to fulfil the order; or
10.1.2 your payment to us fails or payment has not been made in full for the order (including any changes to the order after the order is placed) at the time of collection.
10.2 If we end the contract in the situations set out in clause 10.1 we will refund any money you have paid in advance for goods we have not provided.
11. IF THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH YOUR ORDER
11.1 We do not accept returns on orders already collected, due to the perishable nature of the goods but if you have any questions or complaints about your order, please contact us with details of the issue.
12. PRICE AND PAYMENT
12.1 Full payment for your order is due at the time of ordering. If any change is made to your order after placing your order on our Site, any additional sum due should be paid at the time of collection.
12.2 The price of the goods (which includes VAT) will be the price indicated when you placed your order on our Site. We take all reasonable care to ensure that the price of the goods advised to you is correct. However please see clause
12.3 for what happens if we discover an error in the advertised price of the goods you have ordered.
12.3 It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the goods we sell may be incorrectly priced on our Site. We will normally check prices before accepting your order so that, where the correct price at your order date is less than our stated price at your order date, we will charge the lower amount. If the correct price at your order date is higher than the price stated to you, we will contact you for your instructions before we accept your order.
12.4 We accept payment by credit or debit card. You will be charged when your order is placed and you must pay for the goods before we will make them available for collection.
13. OUR RESPONSIBILITY FOR LOSS OR DAMAGE SUFFERED BY YOU
13.1 If we fail to comply with these terms, we are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breaking this contract or our failing to use reasonable care and skill, but we are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable. Loss or damage is foreseeable if either it is obvious that it will happen or if, at the time the contract was made, both we and you knew it might happen, for example, if you discussed it with us during the sales process.
13.2 We do not exclude or limit in any way our liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so. This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors; for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; for breach of your legal rights in relation to the goods.
13.3 We only supply the goods for domestic and private use. If you use the goods for any commercial, business or re-sale purpose we will have no liability to you for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity.
14. HOW WE MAY USE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
We will only use your personal information as set out in our Privacy Policy.
15. OTHER IMPORTANT TERMS
15.1 We may transfer our rights and obligations under these terms to another organisation.
15.2 You need our consent to transfer your rights to someone else (except that you can always transfer our guarantee). You may only transfer your rights or your obligations under these terms to another person if we agree to this in writing.
15.3 This contract is between you and us. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms.
15.4 Each of the clauses of these terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining clauses will remain in full force and effect.
15.5 These terms are governed by English law and you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the goods in the English courts.
