policy sets out the terms between you and us under which you may access our
website percyandpickles.co.uk (our site). This acceptable use policy applies

Interactive
services
We may from time to
time provide interactive services on our site, including, without limitation:
Chat rooms and Bulletin boards (interactive services).
Where we do provide
any interactive service, we will provide clear information to you about the
kind of service offered, if it is moderated and what form of moderation is used
(including whether it is human or technical).
We will do our best
to assess any possible risks for users (and in particular, for children) from
third parties when they use any interactive service provided on our site, and
we will decide in each case whether it is appropriate to use moderation of the
relevant service (including what kind of moderation to use) in the light of
those risks. However, we are under no obligation to oversee, monitor or
moderate any interactive service we provide on our site, and we expressly
exclude our liability for any loss or damage arising from the use of any interactive
service by a user in contravention of our content standards, whether the
service is moderated or not.
The use of any of
our interactive services by a minor is subject to the consent of their parent
or guardian. We advise parents who permit their children to use an interactive
service that it is important that they communicate with their children about
their safety online, as moderation is not foolproof. Minors who are using any
interactive service should be made aware of the potential risks to them.
Where we do
moderate an interactive service, we will normally provide you with a means of
contacting the moderator, should a concern or difficulty arise.

cannot accept your order.
If we are unable to accept your order, we
will inform you of this and will not charge you for the product. This might be

make changes

this will have been stated in the description of the products on our website.
We will contact you to ask for this information. If you do not give us this
information within a reasonable time of us asking for it, or if you give us
incomplete or incorrect information, we may either end the contract (and clause
10.2 will apply) or make an additional charge of a reasonable sum to compensate
us for any extra work that is required as a result. We will not be responsible
for supplying the products late or not supplying any part of them if this is
caused by you not giving us the information we need within a reasonable time of
us asking for it.

the supply of a product to:
· (a) deal with technical problems or make minor technical changes;

regulatory requirements;
· (c) make changes to the product as requested by you or notified by us to
you (see clause 6).

rights if we suspend the supply of products.
We will contact you in
advance to tell you we will be suspending supply of the product, unless the
problem is urgent or an emergency. If we have to suspend the product we will
adjust the price so that you do not pay for products while they are suspended.
You may contact us to end the contract for a product if we suspend it, or tell
you we are going to suspend it, in each case for a period of more than 30 days
and we will refund any sums you have paid in advance for the product in respect
of the period after you end the contract.
7.10 We may
also suspend supply of the products if you do not pay.
If you do not
pay us for the products when you are supposed to (see clause 12.4) and you
still do not make payment within 14 days of us reminding you that payment is
due, we may suspend supply of the products until you have paid us the
outstanding amounts. We will contact you to tell you we are suspending supply
of the products. We will not suspend the products where you dispute the unpaid
invoice (see clause 12.6). We will not charge you for the products during the
period for which they are suspended. As well as suspending the products we can
also charge you interest on your overdue payments (see clause 12.5).
8. Your rights to
end the contract
8.1 You can
always end your contract with us.
Your rights when you end the
contract will depend on what you have bought, whether there is anything wrong
with it, how we are performing and when you decide to end the contract:
· (a) If what you have bought is faulty or misdescribed you may have a
legal right to end the contract (or to get the product repaired or replaced or
a service reperformed or to get some or all of your money back), see clause
11;
· (b) If you want to end the contract because of something we have done or
have told you we are going to do, see clause 8.2;
· (c) If you have just changed your mind about the product, see clause
8.3. You may be able to get a refund if you are within the cooling off period,
but this may be subject to deductions and you will have to pay the costs of
return of any goods;
· (d) In all other cases (if we are not at fault and there is no right to
change your mind), see clause 8.7.
8.2 Ending
the contract because of something we have done or are going to do.
If
you are ending a contract for a reason set out at (a) to (e) below the contract
will end immediately and we will refund you in full for any products which have
not been provided and you may also be entitled to compensation. The reasons
are:
· (a) we have told you about an upcoming change to the product or these
terms which you do not agree to (see clause 6.2);
· (b) we have told you about an error in the price or description of the
product you have ordered and you do not wish to proceed;
· (c) there is a risk that supply of the products may be significantly
delayed because of events outside our control;
· (d) we have suspended supply of the products for technical reasons, or
notify you we are going to suspend them for technical reasons, in each case for
a period of more than 14 days; or
· (e) you have a legal right to end the contract because of something we
have done wrong.
8.3 Exercising
your right to change your mind (Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013).
For
most products bought online you have a legal right to change your mind within
14 days and receive a refund. These rights, under the Consumer Contracts
Regulations 2013, are explained in more detail in these terms.
8.4 No
additional goodwill guarantee.
We do not offer a guarantee more
generous than your legal rights under the Consumer Contracts Regulations.
8.5 When
you don’t have the right to change your mind.
You do not have a right
to change your mind in respect of:
· (a) products sealed for health protection or hygiene purposes, once
these have been unsealed after you receive them; and
· (b) any products which become mixed inseparably with other items after
their delivery.
8.6 How
long do I have to change my mind?
Having ordered goods, you have 14
days after the day you (or someone you nominate) receives the goods, unless:
· (a) Your goods are split into several deliveries over different days. In
this case you have until 14 days after the day you (or someone you nominate)
receives the last delivery to change your mind about the goods.
· (b) Your goods are for regular delivery over a set period. In this case
you have until 14 days after the day you (or someone you nominate) receives the
first delivery of the goods.
8.7 Ending
the contract where we are not at fault and there is no right to change your
mind.
Even if we are not at fault and you do not have a right to change
your mind (see clause 8.1), you can still end the contract before it is
completed, but you may have to pay us compensation. A contract for goods or
digital content is completed when the product is delivered, downloaded or streamed
and paid for. A contract for services is completed when we have finished
providing the services and you have paid for them. If you want to end a
contract before it is completed where we are not at fault and you have not
changed your mind, just contact us to let us know. The contract will end
immediately and we will refund any sums paid by you for products not provided
but we may deduct from that refund (or, if you have not made an advance
payment, charge you) reasonable compensation for the net costs we will incur as
a result of your ending the contract.
9. How to end the
contract with us (including if you have changed your mind)
9.1 Tell us
you want to end the contract.
To end the contract with us, please let
us know by email at hello@percyandpickles.co.uk. Please provide your
name, home address, details of the order and, where available, your phone
number.
9.2 Returning
products after ending the contract.
If you end the contract for any
reason after products have been dispatched to you or you have received them,
you must return them to us. You must allow us to collect them from you. Please
email us at hello@percyandpickles.co.uk to arrange collection. If you are
exercising your right to change your mind you must send off the goods within 14
days of telling us you wish to end the contract.
9.3 When we
will pay the costs of return.
We will pay the costs of return:
· (a) if the products are faulty or misdescribed; or
· (b) if you are ending the contract because we have told you of an
upcoming change to the product or these terms, an error in pricing or
description, a delay in delivery due to events outside our control or because
you have a legal right to do so as a result of something we have done wrong.
In all other
circumstances (including where you are exercising your right to change your
mind) you must pay the costs of return.
9.4 What we
charge for collection.
If you are responsible for the costs of return
and we are collecting the product from you, we will charge you the direct cost
to us of collection.
9.5 How we
will refund you.
We will refund you the price you paid for the
products including delivery costs, by the method you used for payment. However,
we may make deductions from the price, as described below.
9.6 Deductions
from refunds if you are exercising your right to change your mind.
If
you are exercising your right to change your mind:
· (a) We may reduce your refund of the price (excluding delivery costs) to
reflect any reduction in the value of the goods, if this has been caused by
your handling them in a way which would not be permitted in a shop. If we
refund you the price paid before we are able to inspect the goods and later
discover you have handled them in an unacceptable way, you must pay us an
appropriate amount.
· (b) The maximum refund for delivery costs will be the costs of delivery
by the least expensive delivery method we offer. For example, if we offer
delivery of a product within 3-5 days at one cost but you choose to have the
product delivered within 24 hours at a higher cost, then we will only refund
what you would have paid for the cheaper delivery option.
9.7 When
your refund will be made.
We will make any refunds due to you as soon
as possible. If you are exercising your right to change your mind then:
· (a) If the products are goods and we have not offered to collect them,
your refund will be made within 14 days from the day on which we receive the
product back from you or, if earlier, the day on which you provide us with
evidence that you have sent the product back to us. For information about how
to return a product to us, see clause 9.2.
· (b) In all other cases, your refund will be made within 14 days of your
telling us you have changed your mind.
10. Our rights to
end the contract
10.1 We may
end the contract if you break it
. We may end the contract for a product at
any time by writing to you if:
· (a) you do not make any payment to us when it is due and you still do
not make payment within 7 days of us reminding you that payment is due;
· (b) you do not, within a reasonable time of us asking for it, provide us
with information that is necessary for us to provide the products;
· (c) you do not, within a reasonable time, allow us to deliver the
products to you or collect them from us;
· (d) you do not, within a reasonable time, allow us access to your
premises to supply the services.
10.2 You
must compensate us if you break the contract.
If we end the contract
in the situations set out in clause 10.1 we will refund any money you have paid
in advance for products we have not provided but we may deduct or charge you
reasonable compensation for the net costs we will incur as a result of your
breaking the contract.
10.3 We may
withdraw the product.
We may write to you to let you know that we are
going to stop providing the product. We will let you know at least 3 days in
advance of our stopping the supply of the product and will refund any sums you
have paid in advance for products which will not be provided.
11. If there is a
problem with the product
11.1 How to
tell us about problems.
If you have any questions or complaints about
the product, please contact us. You can write to us at hello@percyandpickles.co.uk.
11.2 Summary
of your legal rights.
We are under a legal duty to supply products
that are in conformity with this contract.
11.3 Your
obligation to return rejected products.
If you wish to exercise your
legal rights to reject products you must either return them in person to where
you bought them, post them back to us or (if they are not suitable for posting)
allow us to collect them from you. We will refund the costs of postage or
collection.
12. Price and
payment
12.1 Where
to find the price for the product.
The price of the product (which
includes VAT if applicable) will be the price indicated on the order pages when
you placed your order. We use our best efforts to ensure that the price of the
product advised to you is correct. However please see clause 12.3 for what
happens if we discover an error in the price of the product you order.
12.2 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.
12.3 What
happens if we got the price wrong.
It is always possible that, despite
our best efforts, some of the products we sell may be incorrectly priced. We
will normally check prices before accepting your order so that, where the
product’s correct price at your order date is less than our stated price at
your order date, we will charge the lower amount. If the product’s correct
price at your order date is higher than the price stated to you, we will
contact you for your instructions before we accept your order. If we accept and
process your order where a pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could
reasonably have been recognised by you as a mispricing, we may end the
contract, refund you any sums you have paid and require the return of any goods
provided to you.
12.4 When
you must pay and how you must pay.
You must pay for products before we
dispatch them.
12.5 We can
charge interest if you pay late.
If you do not make any payment to us
by the due date we may charge interest to you at the rate of 4% above the base
lending rate of Barclays Bank Plc from time to time. This interest shall accrue
on a daily basis from the due date until the date of actual payment of the
overdue amount, whether before or after judgment. You must pay us interest
together with any overdue amount.
12.6 What
to do if you think an invoice is wrong.
If you think an invoice is
wrong please contact us promptly to let us know. You will not have to pay any
interest until the dispute is resolved. Once the dispute is resolved we will
charge you interest on correctly invoiced sums from the original due date.
13. Our
responsibility for loss or damage suffered by you
13.1 We are
responsible to you for foreseeable loss and damage caused by us.
If we
fail to comply with these terms, we are responsible for loss or damage you
suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breaking this contract or our
failing to use reasonable care and skill, but we are not responsible for any
loss or damage that is not foreseeable. Loss or damage is foreseeable if either
it is obvious that it will happen or if, at the time the contract was made,
both we and you knew it might happen, for example, if you discussed it with us
during the sales process.
13.2 We do
not exclude or limit in any way our liability to you where it would be unlawful
to do so.
This includes liability for death or personal injury caused
by our negligence or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors;
for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; for breach of your legal rights in
relation to the products including the right to receive products which are: as
described and match information we provided to you and any sample or model seen
or examined by you; of satisfactory quality; fit for any particular purpose
made known to us; supplied with reasonable skill and care and, where installed
by us, correctly installed; and for defective products under the Consumer
Protection Act 1987
13.3 We are
not liable for business losses.
We only supply the products for
domestic and private use. If you use the products for any commercial, business
or resale purpose we will have no liability to you for any loss of profit,
loss of business, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity.
14. How we may use
your personal information
14.1 How we
will use your personal information.
We will use the personal
information you provide to us:
· (a) to supply the products to you;
· (b) to process your payment for the products; and
· (c) if you agreed to this during the order process, to give you
information about similar products that we provide, but you may stop receiving
this at any time by contacting us.
14.2 We will only
give your personal information to third parties where the law either requires
or allows us to do so.
15. Other important
terms
15.1 We may
transfer this agreement to someone else. We may transfer our rights and
obligations under these terms to another organisation. We will always tell you
in writing if this happens and we will ensure that the transfer will not affect
your rights under the contract.
15.2 You
need our consent to transfer your rights to someone else (except that you can
always transfer our guarantee).
You may only transfer your rights or
your obligations under these terms to another person if we agree to this in
writing. However, you may transfer our guarantee at clause 8.4 to a person who
has acquired the product or, where the product is services, any item or
property in respect of which we have provided the services. We may require the
person to whom the guarantee is transferred to provide reasonable evidence that
they are now the owner of the relevant item or property.
15.3 Nobody
else has any rights under this contract (except someone you pass your guarantee
on to).
This contract is between you and us. No other person shall
have any rights to enforce any of its terms, except as explained in clause
15.2in respect of our guarantee. Neither of us will need to get the agreement
of any other person in order to end the contract or make any changes to these
terms.
15.4 If a
court finds part of this contract illegal, the rest will continue in force.
Each
of the paragraphs of these terms operates separately. If any court or relevant
authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining paragraphs will
remain in full force and effect.
15.5 Even
if we delay in enforcing this contract, we can still enforce it later.
If
we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under
these terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your
breaking this contract, that will not mean that you do not have to do those
things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date. For
example, if you miss a payment and we do not chase you but we continue to
provide the products, we can still require you to make the payment at a later
date.
15.6 Which
laws apply to this contract and where you may bring legal proceedings.
These
terms are governed by English law and you can bring legal proceedings in
respect of the products in the English courts. If you live in Scotland you can
bring legal proceedings in respect of the products in the English courts. If
you live in Northern Ireland you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the
products in the English courts.
