By using any part of this Website, completing your customer registration with us, and/or placing an order on the Website, you agree to be bound by these T&Cs. We may modify these T&Cs at anytime and your continued use of this site following a change signifies your agreement to be bound by the modified T&Cs.

Please take time to read our T&Cs and our Privacy Policy and our other policies and please watch out for updates. If you do not agree to any of the changes we make to our T&Cs or to any of our other changes or if you decide you can no longer accept T&Cs that you have previously accepted, then you must stop using the Site immediately, otherwise you will have accepted the changes or the existing T&Cs

The Social Supermarket is the supplier of the goods. Our Company registration number is 11548215.

- register to use the Website using our registration process. We may change the registration requirements from time to time. When we do we will let you know;
- be the holder of a valid debit or credit card that you use to make purchases through this site.

Please notify us immediately if your personal information changes by contacting our Customer Services department via e-mail to info@SocialSupermarket.org.
- not impersonate any other person or entity or use a false name or a name that you are not authorised to use, or attempt to mislead in any way.

Please review our Privacy Policy, so that you may understand our privacy practices. It explains the uses we will make of any information you provide via the Website or otherwise
This contract shall be concluded in English.

Placing and accepting orders

You place an order request for goods from the Website by clicking on the ‘confirm order’ button at the conclusion of our on-line ordering process. You will be guided through this process by a series of simple instructions on the Website.

We will send to you an acknowledgement once you have placed your order. This will provide you with a payment reference and the value of your order debited to your credit/debit card. This is not an order confirmation or order acceptance from Social Supermarket.

Unless we notify you that we do not accept your order or you cancel your order in accordance with the cancellation section of the Site prior to the dispatch of your order by suppliers, our acceptance of your order and the completion of the contract between you and us will take place when the goods ordered by you are dispatched. To cancel your order after it has been dispatched to you, you will need to follow the details in the Delivery and Returns section of the website.

If you require any information regarding your order(s) please contact Customer Services via support@SocialSupermarket.org.

We may not accept your order if an item you have ordered is out of stock, or we are unable to obtain authorisation for your payment instructions or if we identify a product or pricing error. We reserve the right to reject any offer to purchase by you at any time.

If we are unable to fulfil your order following our order acknowledgement, we will contact you by email advising what has happened. Please see our Cancellation and Returns procedure set out below.

Your account with us

By using the Website, you agree to keep your password and account details confidential, and to take all reasonable measures to prevent unauthorised access to your account. You are responsible for all actions that occur in relation to your account. If you have reason to believe that your password has become known to somebody else, or is likely to be used in any way that is unauthorised by you, you should contact us immediately. If you forget your password we will reset it if you ask us to do so and will send the revised details to the e-mail address you registered with us originally. All the Personal Information you provide to us will be held in accordance with the Privacy Policy.

Your account can be cancelled at any time by contacting [email protected].

Product details

We take all reasonable care to ensure all details, descriptions and prices of products shown on the Website are correct at the time the relevant information is entered onto our system. Although we aim to keep the Website as up to date as possible, the information appearing on this Website at a particular time, including product descriptions, may not always reflect the position exactly at the moment you place an order. We cannot therefore confirm the price of a product until your order is accepted in accordance with our order acceptance policy. (See above)

Customised products

All personalised or custom branded products are non refundable. We will always endeavour to remedy any issues with such products and any issues should be raised in a timely manner with our customer service team.

Many of our products are handmade and therefore may have minor variations in their finish and look. We do not accept any returns or cancellations as a result of such minor variations.

Payments

All prices shown for products are exclusive of delivery charges. The total cost of your order is the price of the products ordered plus delivery charges (as set out in the Delivery section of the Website). Payment can be made by any of the methods specified in the Payment section of this Website and payment will be debited and cleared from your account as set out in the Payment section of this Website.

You confirm that the credit or debit card that you use for any transaction with us is yours.

All credit and debit cardholders are subject to validation checks and authorisation by their card issuer. If the issuer of your payment card refuses to, or subsequently refuses to, or does not, for any reason, authorise payment to us, we will not be liable for any delay or non-delivery of any items you have ordered.

Ownership

We will retain the legal ownership of the goods until full payment has been made by you and such payment has been received by us. Legal ownership of the goods will immediately revert to us if we refund any such payment to you.

Risks

Risk in the goods will pass to you on delivery to you.

Delivery

We will deliver the goods in accordance with the delivery options applicable to each brand which are detailed during the order process and more information can be found here.

Any delivery timescales quoted to you are indicative only. Orders may be delivered in one or more delivery.

Social Supermarket does not accept any liability whatsoever for delivery delays caused by any third party. As soon as you have received the goods, you will assume all risk in the goods. Upon delivery of the goods to you, we will also provide you with sufficient details to enable you to:

exercise your right of cancellation; and
address any intended cancellation or complaints to the correct place of business.

Acceptance

You must inspect the goods which are sent to you immediately upon receipt and you will be deemed to have accepted the goods unless you notify us that you have cancelled the order and/or you return the goods in accordance with the Delivery and Returns Procedures. If no such action is taken, we shall not be obliged to accept any rejection of the goods at a later date. Your statutory rights are not affected.

If you do not receive the entire order as set out in the order confirmation email sent to you when that order is received, please contact [email protected].

Cancellations and Returns

You may cancel your contract with us if you give the brands from which the products have been delivered notice by telephone or by email at any time before the expiry of a period set out for each brand. Full details on this timeline are laid out here.

Should you wish to cancel your order before it has been dispatched, please contact us via email on [email protected]. If your order has already been dispatched, please follow the procedure set out in the Delivery and Returns page.

Your statutory rights are not affected.

If you want to complain about anything in respect of the goods please contact info@social supermarket.org.
