3. Ordering

3.1 You may submit orders for Products by using our online ordering facility on the Website at any time. The facility and our communications to you in relation to any order or contract will be in the English language. The facility allows you to review your order and make any corrections before submitting it to us and by submitting the order you confirm that you have made any such corrections.

3.2 Each Product for which you click 'Add to basket' is added to a 'shopping basket' facility. You are given the opportunity to review the quantity and frequency of the order of each item in your shopping basket when you choose to 'check out'. You can change these, or cancel the purchase of each of the Products completely, at this stage, at any time before clicking 'place order'. After you have clicked 'place order' and after our acceptance of your order, items are added to your delivery in addition to any items that you have previously ordered.

3.3 Your submission of an order amounts to an offer to enter a contract to buy the Products from us; subject to paragraph 5.3, you cannot then withdraw or cancel your order except as stated below.

3.4 No order is accepted from you until our Website displays an order confirmation message. This message is displayed after you click 'place order' in the shopping basket 'order summary' page. When you order by telephone, your order will be accepted (or rejected, as the case may be) verbally by our staff. A contract for our sale of Products to you arises on our acceptance of your order.

3.5 Where we accept an order, we do all that we can to ensure that your order is fulfilled. Products are, however, subject to availability and market conditions and we do not always know if a Product is or will be available at the time of accepting an order. If we are unable to deliver an item you have ordered, we may offer a reasonable substitute. You may reject that substitute, and you will not be charged for it, or, if you have paid already, we will refund any amount paid for it. If we do not offer a substitute, we will remove the Product from your order so that you are not charged or, if you have paid already, we will refund you the price. We will, however, bear no liability for unavailability of Products.

3.6 Some of our Products are priced by weight. We show the prices for weights on the Website. The weight you'll receive may vary from this guide, on most occasions you will receive the advertised weight or more. For an ordered with multiple products, some products may fall short of the advertised weight, but will be made up on another product being over the advertised weight. In this instance, it is within our discretion whether or not a weight refund is appropriate to be processed.

3.7 We sell only to end users and our Products are not for re-sale. You warrant that you shall not re-sell any of the Products.

3.8 When you place your order on our website the value of your order is allocated to your credit / debit card or credit account.

4. Delivery

4.1 The Supplier shall use its reasonable endeavours to meet any date agreed for delivery. In any event time of delivery shall not be of the essence and the Supplier shall not be liable for any losses, costs, damages or expenses incurred by the Buyer or any third party arising directly or indirectly out of any failure to meet any estimated delivery date.

4.2 Delivery of the Goods shall be made to the Buyer’s address specified in the order and the Buyer shall make all arrangements necessary to take delivery of the Goods whenever they are tendered for delivery.

4.3 Risk in the Goods shall pass to the Buyer upon delivery of the Goods, or where the Buyer fails to take delivery on the agreed date, at the time delivery was attempted.

4.4 Title in the Goods shall not pass to the Buyer until payment of the price has been made in full.

4.5 It is compulsory – if there is no person at designated delivery address to receive the goods – for special instructions to be given at the relevant point of the order process. Special instructions will give details of a secure location for the goods to be left at the designated delivery address. Once the courier has left the order in the agreed secure location, the risk in the goods shall pass to the buyer.

5. Returns / Refunds / Cancellations / Amendments

5.1 Due to the nature of our business and the laws governing fresh food, we are unable to accept returns. Should you have a problem with your delivery you will need to contact us via email: info@themeatchop.co.uk or via our contact us page

If you are unhappy with the specifications of an item you have received, please take images of the product and include these in an email to us. We can use these to investigate the issue thoroughly with the relevant supplier. In exceptional circumstances, we may, in our absolute discretion, provide you with a The Meat Chop voucher or a full refund to the value of the goods that have fallen short of your expectations within 2 to 3 working days of a complaint being received. However, complaints need to be logged as soon as possible, preferably upon receipt of unsatisfactory goods.

If for exceptional circumstances a refund is authorised the refund will be made onto either the credit / debit card the order was placed on. No cash refund will be made.
