1.5 Minor changes may, from time to time, be made to certain Food Products between your Order being placed and Us processing that Order and dispatching the Food Products, for example, to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements. Any such changes will not change any main characteristics of the Food Products and will not normally affect your use or enjoyment of those Food Products. However, if any change is made that would affect your use or enjoyment of the Food Products, suitable information will be provided to you.
1.6 We make all reasonable efforts to ensure that all prices shown on Our Site are correct at the time of going online.

If We are unable to process your Order due to incorrect or incomplete information, We will contact you to ask to correct it.

If We incur any costs as a result of your incorrect or incomplete information, We may pass those costs on to you.
1.3 No part of Our Site constitutes a contractual offer capable of acceptance. Your Order constitutes a contractual offer that We may, at Our sole discretion, accept. Our acknowledgement of receipt of your Order does not mean that we have accepted it. Our acceptance is indicated by Us sending you an Order Confirmation by email. Only once We have sent you an Order Confirmation will there be a legally binding Contract between Us and you.

2.a.2 If you do not collect the Food Products or rearrange delivery within 1 day, We will contact you to ask you how you wish to proceed. If We cannot contact you or arrange redelivery or collection, We will treat the Contract as cancelled and recover the Food Products.

We may also bill you for any reasonable additional cost that we incur in recovering the Food Products.
1.3 In the unlikely event that We fail to deliver the Food Products within 30 calendar days of Our Order Confirmation (or as otherwise agreed or specified as under sub-Clause 10.1), if any of the following apply you may treat the Contract as being at an end immediately:

1.5 You may cancel all or part of your Order under sub-Clauses 10.3 or 10.4 provided that separating the Food Products in your Order would not significantly reduce their value. Any sums that you have already paid for cancelled Food Products and their delivery will be refunded to you within 10 days. Please note that if any cancelled Food Products are delivered to you, you must return them to Us or arrange with Us for their collection. In either case, We will bear the cost of returning the cancelled Food Products.
1.6 Delivery shall be deemed complete and the responsibility for the Food Products will pass to you once We have delivered the Food Products to the address you have provided.
