3. YOUR STATUS
By placing an order through our site, you warrant that:
(a) You are legally capable of entering into binding contracts;
and (b) You are at least 18 years old;
4. HOW THE CONTRACT IS FORMED BETWEEN YOU AND US
4.1 After placing an order, you will receive an e-mail from us
acknowledging that we have received your order. Please note that
this does not mean that your order has been accepted. Your order
constitutes an offer to us to buy a Product. All orders are subject
to acceptance by us, and we will confirm such acceptance to you
by sending you an e-mail that confirms that the Product has been
dispatched (the Dispatch Confirmation). The contract between you
and us (Contract) will only be formed when we send you the Dispatch
Confirmation.
4.2 The Contract will relate only to those Products
whose dispatch we have confirmed in the Dispatch Confirmation.
We will not be obliged to supply any other Products which may have
been part of your order until the dispatch of such Products has
been confirmed in a separate Dispatch Confirmation.
5. CONSUMER
RIGHTS
5.1 As your order will be for perishable food products,
the Distance Selling Regulations do not apply in full. We are,
however, committed to ensuring that all our products meet our strict
quality standards and that our customers get the best possible
service. Therefore, if you have any problems with your order, please
let us know within seven working days of receiving it and we will
look into it for you. In the unlikely event that one of our products
does not meet our high standards, you will receive a full refund
of the price paid for the Product in question in accordance with
our refunds policy (set out in clause 9).
5.2 To cancel an order,
please email us at info@figgys.co.uk before the order has been dispatched.
5.3 This provision does not affect any statutory rights to which
you might be entitled.
6. AVAILABILITY AND DELIVERY
6.1 Naturally, you will want your Christmas pudding for Christmas. So that we can make sure that our Products are in the delivery system in good time, we ask that all orders are made before 5pm GMT on Friday 19 December 2008 . Any orders taken after this time may be rejected. We will inform you by email if this is the case.
6.2 In the unlikely event that we are unable to fulfil your order, we will make sure that we tell you at the first opportunity to make sure that you can source alternatives in time for Christmas.
7. RISK AND TITLE
7.1 The Products will be at your risk from
the time that we pass them to the courier to be delivered.
7.2
Ownership of the Products passes to you when the Products have
been passed to the courier for delivery. For the avoidance of doubt,
this should be assumed to be the same time as the Dispatch Confirmation
is sent.
8. PRICE AND PAYMENT
8.1 The price of any Products will be as quoted on our site from
time to time, except in cases of obvious error.
8.2 These prices
are inclusive of all relevant taxes but exclude delivery costs,
which will be added to the total amount due as set out on our site.
8.3 Although we try to make sure that all the information on our
site is correct and up to date, it is possible that, despite our
best efforts, some of the Products listed on our site may be incorrectly
priced. We will normally verify prices as part of our dispatch
procedures so that, where a Product's correct price is less than
our stated price, we will charge the lower amount when dispatching
the Product to you. If a Product´s correct price is higher than
the price stated on our site, we will normally, at our discretion,
either contact you for instructions before dispatching the Product,
or reject your order and notify you of such rejection.
8.4 We are
under no obligation to provide the Product to you at the incorrect
(lower) price, even after we have sent you a Dispatch Confirmation,
if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could have
reasonably been recognised by you as a mis-pricing.
8.5 Payment
for all Products must be by credit or debit card. We accept payment
online via Paypal. We also accept cheques for telephone orders.
Cheques must clear before dispatch so orders must arrive 7 days
before the last dispatch date.
9. OUR REFUNDS POLICY
9.1 When you cancel your order before Dispatch Confirmation in
accordance with these terms and conditions, we will refund the
price of the Product in full, including the cost of delivery.
9.2
When you return a Product to us for any other reason (for instance,
because you have notified us in accordance with these terms that
you do not agree to any change in these terms and conditions or
in any of our policies, or because you claim that the Product is
defective), we will examine the returned Product and will notify
you of your refund via e-mail within a reasonable period of time.
We will usually process the refund due to you as soon as possible
and, in any case, within 30 days of the day we confirmed to you
via e-mail that you were entitled to a refund for the defective
Product. Products returned by you because of a defect will be refunded
in full, including a refund of the delivery charges for sending
the item to you and the cost incurred by you in returning the item
to us.

the same method originally used by you to pay for your purchase.
