ORDERING FROM US

Please note, WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO REFUND ORDERS AND NOT SEND ORDERS WHICH HAVE BEEN GIVEN A ‘HIGH RISK’ RATING BY OPAYO/ELAVON, OUR PAYMENT PROCESSOR COMPANY.

Payments made online are taken via OPAYO. Credit card details are entered on a secured page and are transferred using SSL technology. MIDDLETON'S DAIRY LTD will never see or retain your bank or credit card details when you pay online. If not paying online we will contact you to arrange payment and delivery.

When you enter your order on our website it does not indicate that a contract exists between us. Once we deliver the items you have requested to where you have told us to deliver them, there is a contract between us. We have included this term to protect us in the case that a mistake has been made in pricing, we have inadvertently under-priced goods, or we are no longer able to supply a particular product for some reason. In the case of a change of price, we will always contact you first to ensure that the price is acceptable.

Though we constantly strive to provide accurate and current information on this website, MIDDLETON'S DAIRY LTD, will not be responsible for errors/omissions in product descriptions or the customer’s interpretation of those descriptions.

Customers must be of 18 years or over to be able to place an order.

Registration as a customer must be accompanied by your real name, cardholders address, email address and any other requested information during the registration and order process.

Orders can be placed via our website until the cut-off time indicated on the information pages of this website. This cut-off time enables us to check the order and stock and load that order for your next delivery day (this does not imply a delivery next day if we do not deliver on your round every day), subject to availability.

We can accept cheques, cash, BACS/online transfers and the following credit/debit cards: MasterCard, Visa, Visa Electron, Visa Delta, Switch/Maestro.

We cannot send orders to P.O BOX addresses. We will not accept P.O Box addresses as a valid billing address, even if an order is attempted and payment is authorised by Opayo.

Your regular product order and any that you add to it or order specifically may not be delivered if payment on your account is overdue or your last payment was rejected by your bank or card.

PAYMENTS

All prices on this website are in UK pounds sterling and include VAT if relevant. Please note that currently VAT is not applicable to most food products. Prices are subject to change without notice. We are obliged to state that VAT applies to deliveries to UK and other European Union destinations. All other orders are VAT free.

Any quotation or published price is subject to alteration or withdrawal without prior notice as a result of fluctuation in exchange rates, increase in supplier’s prices, and error in published price or other costs beyond our control. Statement of price or a quotation does not constitute an offer. We will inform you of the correct price where the right to cancellation can be exercised.

Full payment is required on all orders when we request payment, usually after delivery. All card payments are subject to security checks before acceptance. If the issuing bank of your payment does not for any reason authorise payment from that account, we will try to contact you to obtain an alternative payment method. If we cannot obtain payment future orders may be delayed or cancelled.

Any account and its orders may be put on hold if a payment is not made on your account.

Monthly payers, that is to say those that choose to receive an invoice containing all items received the previous month, must clear their account within 14 days of receipt of each monthly invoice or request for payment.

PRODUCT AVAILABILITY

ALL GOODS ARE OFFERED SUBJECT TO AVAILABILITY. Items listed on our website are purely an invitation to order. They do not constitute that the item is in stock. We do not and cannot guarantee that every item on our website is available at time of ordering. If an item is ordered and we do not have stock then we will try to contact you to see if you would like an alternative product, or wish to wait while we obtain more stock, provided a correct email address and telephone number is provided by you. We reserve the right to withdraw any item without notice.

The produce images on our website are an indication of the product we are offering, however the packaging may vary.

GUARANTEE

All products are delivered in good condition at the time we deliver them and are fit for consumption within the dates specified by the producer/manufacturer on the packaging.

This includes where the product is left exposed to the elements, public or animals for any prolonged period. We therefore cannot accept responsibility for the condition the product is in once you actually consume it.

You may be responsible for transport and return any goods damaged after we have delivered them.

If you wish to cancel an order and it has already been delivered to you, then the product will be charged for. If you cancel an order within 48 hours of its requested due delivery, especially for a special product or offer we have obtained or reserved specifically for you, then the product may be charged for.

Unless faulty, we cannot accept the return of any special order or reserved products.

Whilst we will make every attempt to limit and remedy this type of situation, we must emphasise it is in everyone’s interest to ensure that the correct items are being ordered and that the delivery day and time is suitable for you.

Should you wish to cancel your deliveries all together, please note that you MUST call the office on 01433 651650. Simply removing your standing order may not cancel all your deliveries. Any deliveries made after you removing your standing order, may still be charged for.

If any part these terms and conditions shall be found to be unlawful it shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of the conditions. This contract is and shall be deemed to have been made in England and shall in all respects be governed by English Law.
