We may contact you via email or other forms of electronic communication and pre-paid post as per your prior consent. You have the right to opt out of this at any time.

Basis of Sale

The description of the goods in our website does not constitute a contractual offer to sell the goods. When an order has been submitted on the website, we can reject it for any reason, although we will try to tell you the reason without delay.

The order process is set out on the website. Each step allows you to check and amend any errors before submitting the order. It is your responsibility to check that you have entered the correct information and used the ordering process correctly.

A contract will be formed for the sale of goods ordered only when you receive an e-mail from us confirming the order (Order Confirmation). You must ensure that the order confirmation is complete and accurate and inform us immediately of any errors. We are not responsible for any inaccuracies in the order placed by you.

Delivery

For full delivery information please refer to our Delivery Policy.

Risk and Title

Risk of damage to, or loss of, any goods will pass to you when the goods are delivered to you.

You do not own the goods until we have received payment in full. If full payment is overdue or a step occurs towards your bankruptcy, we can choose by notice to cancel any delivery and end any right to use the goods still owned by you, in which case you must return them or allow us to collect them.

Cancellation

You can withdraw the order by telling us before the contract is made, if you simply wish to change your mind and without giving us a reason, and without incurring any liability.

This is a distance contract (as defined below) which has the cancellation rights (Cancellation Rights) set out below. These cancellation rights, however, do not apply, to a contract for goods that are made to your specifications or are clearly personalised.

Subject as stated in these terms and conditions; you can cancel this contract within 14 days of receipt of goods without giving a reason.

The cancellation period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you, or a third party, other than the carrier indicated by you, acquires physical possession of the last of the goods.

To exercise the right to cancel, you must inform us of your decision to cancel this contract by a clear statement setting out your decision (e.g. a letter sent by post or e-mail). In any event, you must be able to show clear evidence of when the cancellation was made, so you may decide to use the model cancellation form. We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a cancellation in a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.

To meet the cancellation deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right to cancel before the cancellation period has expired.

Except as set out below, if you cancel this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of initial delivery to you (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).

Returning Goods

If you have received goods in connection with the contract which you have cancelled, you must send back the goods or hand them over to us at Home Farm, Leebotwood, Shropshire, SY6 6LX without delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate to us your cancellation of this contract. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You agree that you will have to bear the cost of returning the goods.

For the purposes of these cancellation rights, these words have the following meanings:

  • distance contract means a contract concluded between a trader and a consumer under an organised distance sales or service-provision scheme without the simultaneous physical presence of the trader and the consumer, with the exclusive use of one or more means of distance communication up to and including the time at which the contract is concluded;
  • sales contract means a contract under which a trader transfers or agrees to transfer the ownership of goods to a consumer and the consumer pays or agrees to pay the price, including any contract that has both goods and services as its object.

Conformity

We have a legal duty to supply the goods in conformity with the contract and will not have conformed if it does not meet the following obligation.

Upon delivery, the goods will:

  • be of satisfactory quality;
  • be reasonably fit for the intended purpose;
  • conform to their description.

Circumstances Beyond the Control of Either Party

In the event of any failure by either party because of something beyond its reasonable control:

  • the party will advise the other party as soon as reasonably practicable; and
  • the party's obligations will be suspended so far as is reasonable, provided that that party will act reasonably, and the party will not be liable for any failure which it could not reasonably avoid, but this will not affect the customer's above rights relating to delivery and any right to cancel, below.

Excluding Liability

The supplier does not exclude liability for: (i) any fraudulent act or omission; or (ii) for death or personal injury caused by negligence or breach of the supplier's other legal obligations. Subject to this, the supplier is not liable for (i) loss which was not reasonably foreseeable to both parties at the time when the contract was made, or (ii) loss (e.g. loss of profit) to the customer's business, trade, craft, or profession which would not be suffered by a consumer - because the supplier believes the customer is not buying the goods wholly or mainly for its business, trade, craft, or profession.

Governing Law, Jurisdiction and Complaints

The contract (including any non-contractual matters) is governed by the law of England and Wales.

Disputes can be submitted to the jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales or, where the customer lives in Scotland or Northern Ireland, in the courts of respectively Scotland or Northern Ireland.

Returns & Cancellations.

All our goods are carefully inspected before despatch, although very occasionally problems may occur. We ask our customers to check the goods upon receipt and to notify us, by phone or by e-mail, as soon as possible of any damage, missing items or quality issues.

Consumer Contracts Regulations 2015 offers you the right to cancel an order when you buy online or by phone.

You are entitled to cancel your order, provided that you do so within 14 days from the day on which you receive the goods. Please quote your order number on all correspondence.

If you wish to cancel your order, you must inform us of your decision by giving: your name, address, details of the order you wish to cancel, your phone number and email address.

Refunds

If the goods are received in a suitable condition, we will refund the value of the cancelled goods and the cost of standard delivery (except for any supplementary costs arising if you requested any non-standard delivery).

A deduction may be made if the value of the goods returned has been reduced as a result of you handling the goods more than was necessary.

Once goods are returned, we will refund the person who originally placed and paid for the order.

Ordinarily, we will refund by the method used to pay for the original transaction. It can take up to 14 working days after we have received the returned the item(s) for you to receive your refund.
