HOME DELIVERY TERMS AND CONDITIONS

COOK WEST BRIDGFORD (MARCH RETAILING LIMITED)

None of the following is particularly interesting but the reality is that we live in a world dominated by lawyers and so, while tiresome, it is essential that we include all of this. This does not affect your statutory rights of course.

The terms ‘we’ and ‘us’ refers to March Retailing Limited, trading as COOK West Bridgford an appointed franchisee of COOK Trading Limited.

These Terms and Conditions were updated in April 2014.

1. Registration

By signing up to our website and purchasing products from us, you are agreeing to the terms and conditions of sale which apply to all transactions on www.cookfood.net.

Signing up to the service means we must be provided with the following information:

• Your address, including the postcode, of the billing address associated with the payment card
• Your home telephone number or mobile telephone number
• Your email address, so we can supply you with important information such as your order confirmation and delivery details.

We only sell goods on the website to the end user and they must not, in any way, be resold without our prior written consent.

Your order will be confirmed on screen immediately after payment details have been taken, and we will email you confirmation of the details of your order, including meals ordered, delivery address and delivery date. This confirmation should be checked carefully as we cannot be responsible for any errors or omissions once delivery has been made.

We do not hold your payment details from any previous orders. Therefore, every purchase at cookfood.net will require new payment details entered. It is your responsibility to keep your password secure.

2. Product Prices

The price of goods charged will be as quoted on the web site at the time your order is confirmed. Excluding any inadvertent technical error on pricing, we will honour any prices as published at the time of placing your order. Your credit card shall only be charged for items dispatched to you.

Due to differing product promotions the prices displayed on the website may vary to prices in our retail stores and independent outlets selling our meals.

If you order a large portion-size of a meal and it is not available then we will endeavour to supply the same number of total portions but in smaller tray sizes. Your card will not be charged extra if the price of these smaller trays is greater than the ordered amount.

All of our food products are zero-rated for VAT. However, the price of our ice cream, ceramic dishes and a few other nut containing products are VAT chargeable at the standard rate. Our VAT Registration Number is 184 3745 83.

Our minimum order value, delivery charges and the areas we deliver to can be found by entering your postcode at www.cookfood.net. Seasonal variances may apply. Please ask the shop for full details.

Prices of goods do not include the delivery charge.

Discounts offered in store at COOK West Bridgford or other COOK shops or within any COOK publicity material are not necessarily offered for use against sales delivered via the COOK West Bridgford delivery service. Please check Terms & Conditions for specific promotions.

If discount vouchers are issued they may not be usable in conjunction with other offers.

Please check expiry dates on any vouchers as they do have a time limit and we do want you to have the opportunity to use them. Each voucher code may be used only once per household and we reserve the right to refuse a sale if we feel that fraud is suspected. Different households may receive different offers.

4. Gift Vouchers

COOK Retail Gift Vouchers are not redeemable for Home Delivery orders when the order is placed online or over the phone and COOK Home Delivery vouchers are not redeemable in COOK West Bridgford. COOK Gift Vouchers are not redeemable in independent outlets.

COOK Gift Vouchers cannot be exchanged or refunded for cash.

COOK Gift Vouchers can be used towards the purchase of goods at a higher price than their face value upon payment of the difference. No change or credit will be given for unused portions of a voucher.

COOK West Bridgford is under no liability for replacement or refund should vouchers be lost, stolen, damaged or destroyed whether they have been redeemed or not. Furthermore we reserve the right to refuse any vouchers which have been mutilated, damaged or defaced.

COOK Gift Vouchers are only valid with the unique serial number printed on the reverse and for the amount printed next to it.

5. Delivery

We agree to deliver on the day selected during the order process.

If no special instructions are added during the delivery details screen of the order process or during any subsequent communication, we will expect the customer to be present to accept the order. No boxes can be returned to the shop. They will be left at the agreed delivery address and become the responsibility of the customer.

Special instructions will be followed, but please ensure they are deemed reasonable and are not used to request specific delivery times. Instructions to knock at a neighbour’s house should mean it is within short walking distance of your property, and does not involve the delivery team travelling any further.

We will endeavour to deliver within the time span agreed, however due to circumstances beyond our control such as weather and traffic conditions we may not always be able to achieve this. In this situation we will try to contact you to confirm a revised time.

If there is no one home to receive the delivery when we arrive, we will attempt to contact you to make further arrangements. If we cannot get hold of you we reserve the right to return the order to the shop and await further contact.

We reserve the right to restrict deliveries in certain areas and this includes the right to withdraw the service altogether.

Orders can be cancelled any time up until the moment that they are dispatched.
