We reserve the right to ammend or update these terms without notification.
1. Orders:
Orders are accepted subject to availability of the product from the manufacturer or importer.
2. Parties:
Only we and the customer making the order are intended to benefit from the contract of supply.
3. Minimum Delivery:
We reserve the right not to deliver an order which is valued at less
than £60 (net sales value) (A charge of £5 plus VAT may be levied on
orders below this amount).
4. Splitting Charges:
For your convenience we are pleased to split many original cases;
however, in some instances a minimum split quantity may apply. We may
make a modest additional charge for split cases of 10% unless the
product is already priced for splits in which case no additional
charges will apply.
5. Last Orders:
Local:
We offer same day local delivery in the Blackpool area for orders
placed before 11am. Order placed after this time may be delivered the
following day.
All other areas:
Orders must be received before 3:30 p.m. on the day prior to delivery.
6. Returns:
Our drivers are not authorised to accept goods for return without the
appropriate documentation. However, full cases containing damaged goods
may be returned for full credit at the time of delivery only.
7. Payment Terms:
All deliveries are made on a cash on delivery basis, unless agreed with our office in advance.
Weekly accounts must be settled within 14 days of invoice date.
Monthly accounts must be settled by the 20th of the month following
invoice date and sent to the statement address. In the event of an
account being in arrears, we reserve the right to withhold further
supplies and charge interest of 3% per month.
8. Risk and Ownership:
All risks in the goods pass to the purchaser on delivery. Ownership of
goods delivered to customer shall remain with us until payment of the
invoiced cost has been received in full. Pallets and plastic crates
remain our property at all times. We reserve the right to charge for
any items left at the customer's premises at their request which are
not returned on demand or are lost by the customer.
9. Shortages:
The number of packages delivered must be checked in the presence of the
driver. Claims for shortages should be made at the time of delivery but
in any event claims must be made to the distribution depot on the day
of delivery.
10. Warranty:
All
goods offered for sale are warranted to be of the nature, substance and
quality described and to comply with all statutory requirements from
time to time in force relating to the sale of food (so far as
applicable to such goods).
11. Product Durability:
Most food product with a life from manufacture of twelve months or less
must by law be dated either by Best Before or a Sell By Statement. We
as a company endeavour to ensure that all dated stock has an optimum
remaining life when we sell to our customers. All customers are advised
to check the durability dates upon receipt. We therefore regret that we
are unable to accept returned products relating to date coding from our
customers.
12. Pricing:
We reserve the right to alter prices without notice in the event of
significant unforeseen market fluctuations, or in the case of pricing
errors. Prices are fixed on the day of delivery, not when the goods are
ordered. VAT will be charged at the appropriate rate on goods where
applicable.
13. Limitation of Liability:
a. We do not accept liability for any failure to perform or delay in
performance caused by events outside of our reasonable control
(including, but not limited, to strikes, trade disputes, accident,
breakdowns, shortages affecting us or our usual sources of supply or
means of delivery of the product).
b.
We accept unlimited liability for personal injury or death arising from
our negligence and for all other matters for which it is unlawful for
us to limit our liability under English law.
c. Subject
to (b) above, we shall have no liability to you whether in contract,
tort (including negligence) or breach of statutory duty for any:
(i) loss of profit, loss of business or business opportunity, loss of contract, loss of goodwill; or
(ii) any special, indirect or consequential loss.
