3. HOW THE CONTRACT IS FORMED BETWEEN YOU AND US

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 us (Contract) will only be formed when we send you the Dispatch Confirmation.
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.

4. TRADING INFORMATION

www.jenierteas.com is a wholesale only website.
Whilst there is no minimum order, our products are sold in bulk or by standard case volumes.
Minimum shipping charges apply.
Tea is a food item and as such, cannot be returned once shipped.
Non-tea items may be returned but are subject to a re-stocking fee of 25% of the net value per item.
To cancel a Contract, you must inform us in writing or e-mail. Should you wish to return any non-tea products they must be returned in the same condition in which you received them, and at your own cost and risk. You have a legal obligation to take reasonable care of the Products while they are in your possession. If you fail to comply with this obligation, we may have a right of action against you for compensation.
You will not have any right to cancel a Contract for the supply of any Product which is personalised.
Details of this statutory right, and an explanation of how to exercise it, are provided in the Dispatch Confirmation. This provision does not affect your statutory rights.

5. AVAILABILITY AND DELIVERY

Your order will be fulfilled by the delivery date set out in the Dispatch Confirmation or, if no delivery date is specified, then within 30 days of the Dispatch Confirmation, unless there are exceptional circumstances.
We aim to have all orders dispatched within 24 hours, stock permitting, on the condition that payment is cleared or account status agreed.
Our normal delivery for UK customers is orders received before 2pm GMT are dispatched that day by a tracked courier service to arrive with our UK customers the next working day. If an item is temporarily out of stock, we will notify you of the delay and dispatch your order as soon as the item is available.
All UK and International orders received before 2pm GMT will be processed for same day dispatch where possible.

6. RISK AND TITLE

The Products will be at your risk from the time of receipt of the Products at the delivery address.
Ownership of the Products will only pass to you when we receive full payment of all sums due in respect of the Products, including delivery charges.

7. PRICE AND PAYMENT

The price of any Products will be as quoted on Our Site from time to time, except in cases of obvious error.
These prices exclude VAT and delivery costs, which will be added to the total amount due.
Prices are liable to change at any time, but changes will not affect orders in respect of which we have already sent you a Dispatch Confirmation.
Our Site contains a large number of Products and it is always 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.
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.
For non invoice account customers, payment for all Products through this website must be by credit or debit card or PayPal. We accept payment with most major credit, debit and maestro cards.
Invoice account customers will be able to purchase through the website using the agreed store credit limit assigned to their account. This credit limit may be altered or withdrawn by us at any time and without consultation or agreement with you.
Terms are net 30 days from date of invoice. In the event of non-payment within our contract term, we reserve the right to charge interest at the rate of 2% per month from the due date to the date of payment and in the event of the issue of legal proceedings for the recovery of any outstanding amount a collection charge of £50/£100 (£50 for a debt up to £600 and £100 over £600) is payable by you and will be added to the debt outstanding on any proceedings.
