4.             Our contract with you

4.1          The steps required to form the contract between you and us are as follows:

4.1.1      You will need to register with us to order our products. You will also need to enter certain details during the order process. If you already have an account with us, you will be able to log in using your existing log-in details. If you do not have an account with us, you will be able to create an account during the order process.

4.1.2      To register with us, you will be asked to enter information such as your name, email address and telephone number as well as information about your billing and/or delivery address if these differ. Once you have registered with us, you will receive an email asking you to validate and activate your account. Once validated, you will receive a welcome email confirming completion of your registration. When you place an order you will be asked to confirm these details for the order. If you have logged into an existing account, some of this information might be pre-populated for you to amend if necessary. You are responsible for ensuring that all of the information you provide to us is true and accurate.

4.1.3      Once registered with us, you can place an order for the products you would like to purchase and be delivered to you on specified days of the week on a weekly basis via your account on our website by following the onscreen prompts. You will have the opportunity to check and correct any errors in your order up until the point at which you place your order by accepting these terms and conditions of sale and clicking the "Confirm order for purchase" button on the checkout page. No changes can be made to your order (including the delivery days for the relevant products) after this point unless you agree these with us by updating your weekly order by clicking the "Edit Weekly Order" button in your account. If you make any changes to your weekly order in your account, you will receive an email confirming these changes for your records. Please note that it may not be possible to make a change to your order less than 12 hours before the nominated delivery date.

4.1.4      Once those steps are completed, we will take payment from your chosen payment method. If payment is successful, you will receive an order confirmation email containing your new weekly order of the products and we will update your order history in your account for your records. A contract between us will be formed only when we send you your order confirmation email.  Once your weekly order is confirmed, you will continue to receive your weekly order of the products from us and we will continue to take payment for the products from you via your chosen payment method until we are notified of any changes to your order or you cancel your order accordingly.

4.1.5      If for any reason we cannot provide you with a product in your order, you will be contacted by telephone or email and a refund will be issued for the amount you paid for such product.This might be because the product is out of stock, because of unexpected limits on our resources which we could not reasonably plan for, because we have identified an error in the price or description of the product or because we are unable to meet a collection or delivery deadline you have specified.

 

5.             Price and payment

5.1          Where to find the price for the product The price of the product (which includes VAT) will be the price indicated on the order pages when you placed your order, except in cases of obvious error.

5.2          We will pass on changes in the rate of VAT. If the rate of VAT changes between your order date and the date we supply the product, we will adjust the rate of VAT that you pay, unless you have already paid for the product in full before the change in the rate of VAT takes effect.

5.3          What happens if we get the price wrong It is possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the products we sell may be incorrectly priced. If this is the case, we will, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before delivering the product, or reject your order and notify you of such rejection.

5.4          When you must pay and how you must pay  We accept payment by direct debit. On registration with us, you will receive an email which contains a link to enable you to proceed with setting up your direct debit mandate with us for payment of the products. You can cancel a direct debit payment at any time before payment is due to be made. Please notify us of any cancellation of your direct debit for our information so we can ensure that we do not continue to deliver the products to you. If a payment is taken after you have cancelled your direct debit you will be entitled to an immediate refund of the payment from your bank or building society.

5.5          If we do not receive payment If you do not make any payment to us by the due date, we may suspend your account pending an interim payment and charge interest to you on the overdue amount at the rate of 2% above the base lending rate of the Bank of Scotland from time to time. Our credit control team will contact you in the event that payment for your order is not made to us by the due date and will arrange alternative payment with you, either by setting up a new direct debit, accepting payment by credit or debit card or by BACS bank transfer. If you think a payment is wrong, please contact us promptly to let us know and we will not charge you interest until we have resolved the issue. In the event of repeated payment failure we may impose a credit limit restriction on your account, reduce delivery quantities, suspend your account or cancel your account.

 

6.             Providing the products

6.1          When we will provide the products During the order process you will be asked to confirm which days of the week you would like the products delivering to you. You will receive a communication by email from us to confirm your weekly order and the days when your products will be delivered to you.

6.2          We are not responsible for delays outside our control. If our supply of the products is delayed by an event outside our control, we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and we will take steps to minimise the effect of the delay.

6.3          Delivery of the products We can only deliver to houses or flats with a private ground level entrance to leave goods.  Unless otherwise agreed, we will leave products on or near the doorstep of any entrances that may be secured.

6.4          When you become responsible for the goods A product will be your responsibility from the time we deliver those goods to the address you gave us. If you provide us with an incorrect delivery address and your order is delivered to someone else, or if the intended recipient is no longer resident at the delivery location you specify, you are responsible for any losses you may incur as a result, for example, theft of the products.

6.5          When you own goods You own a product once we have received payment in full unless due to unforeseen circumstances we cancel your order as set out in these terms.
