7.2 You will be subject to the policies and terms and conditions in force at the time that you order Products from us, unless any change to those policies or these Terms and conditions is required to be made in accordance with 5.1 (in which case it will apply to orders previously placed by you).

9.5 It is always possible that, despite our reasonable efforts, some of the Products on the Website may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices as part of our dispatch procedures so that:
9.5.1 Where the Product's correct price is less than the price stated on the Website, we will charge the lower amount when dispatching the Products to you. However, if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as a mispricing, we do not have to provide the Products to you at the incorrect (lower) price; and
9.5.2 If the Product's correct price is higher than the price stated on the Website, we will contact you as soon as possible to inform you of this error and we will give you the option of continuing to purchase the Product at the correct price or cancelling your order. We will not process your order until we have your instructions. If we are unable to contact you using the contact details you provided during the order process, we will treat the order as cancelled and notify you in writing.
10.1 You can pay for Products using a debit card or credit card. We accept the following cards: Visa, MasterCard, and American Express.
10.2 Payment for the Products is in advance. We will not charge your debit card or credit card until we dispatch your order.

If we are unable to meet the estimated delivery date because of an Event Outside Our Control, we will contact you with a revised estimated delivery date.
11.2 Delivery of an order shall be completed when we deliver the Products to the address you gave us and the Products will be your responsibility from that time.
11.3 If you are not at home when the Product is delivered. If no one is available at your address to take delivery and the Products cannot be posted through your letterbox, we will leave you a note informing you of how to rearrange delivery.
11.4 If you do not re-arrange delivery. If you do not collect the Products from us as arranged or if, after a failed delivery to you, you do not re-arrange delivery or collect them from a delivery depot we will contact you for further instructions and may charge you for storage costs and any further delivery costs. If, despite our reasonable efforts, we are unable to contact you or re-arrange delivery or collection we may end the Contract and clause 5 will apply.
12.1 The Products will be your responsibility from the time we deliver the Products to the address you gave us on your order form.
12.2 You own the Products once we have received payment in full, including all applicable delivery charges, which will be displayed to you on our website.
13.1 We do not deliver to addresses outside the UK or the Channel Islands.
13.2 You may place an order for Products from outside the UK, but this order must be for delivery to an address in the UK or the Channel Islands.
14.1 This Clause 14 only applies if you are a consumer.
14.2 If you are a consumer, you have a legal right to cancel a Contract under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 during the period set out below in clause 14.4. This means that during the relevant period if you change your mind or for any other reason you decide you do not want to keep a Product, you can notify us of your decision to cancel the Contract and receive a refund.
14.3 However, this cancellation right does not apply in the case of:
14.3.1 any used or opened Products;
14.3.2 any custom-made Products or Products made to your specification or clearly personalised;
14.3.3 Products that are not suitable for return due to health protection or hygiene. For example, if the goods become unsealed after delivery or have perished;
14.3.4 any Products which become mixed inseparably with other items after their delivery; or
14.3.5 any other category excluded by the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013.
14.4 Your legal right to cancel a Contract starts from the date of the Dispatch Confirmation (the date on which we email you to confirm our acceptance of your order). Your deadline for cancelling then depends on what you have ordered and how it is delivered, as set out in the table below:
|
Your Order |
End of the cancellation period |
|
Your order is for a single Product (which is not delivered in instalments on separate days). |
The end date is the end of 14 days after the day on which you receive the Product. |
|
Your Contract is for the regular delivery of a Product over a set period. |
The end date is 14 days after the day on which you receive the first delivery of the Products. |
14.5 If a Product has been delivered to you before you decide to cancel your order:
14.5.1 then you must return it to us without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days after the day on which you let us know that you wish to cancel. Our returns address is: CafePod Coffee Co, Codestorm Ltd, Codestorm House, Walton Road, Portsmouth, PO6 1TR.
14.5.2 unless the Product is faulty or not as described (in this case, see clause 15.4), you will be responsible for the cost of returning the Products to us. If the Product is one which cannot be returned by post, we estimate that if you use the carrier which delivered the Product to you, these costs should not exceed the sums we charged you for delivery.
14.5.3 As a consumer, you have legal rights in relation to Products that are faulty or not as described. These legal rights are not affected by your right of return and refund in this clause 9 or anything else in these Terms. Advice about your legal rights is available from your local Citizens' Advice Bureau or Trading Standards office.
15.1 To cancel your order, please contact us via any of the methods set out in Clause 1.2.
15.2 To cancel a Contract in accordance with your legal right to do so as set out in clause 14, you must let us know that you have decided to cancel.
15.3 If you send us your cancellation notice by e-mail or by post, then your cancellation is effective from the date you send us the e-mail or post the letter to us.
15.4 If you cancel your Contract we will:
15.4.1 refund you the price you paid for the Product(s). Please note we are permitted by law to reduce your refund to reflect any reduction in the value of the goods, if this has been caused by your handling them in a way which would not be permitted in a shop. If we refund you the price paid before we are able to inspect the goods and later discover you have handled them in an unacceptable way, you must pay us an appropriate amount; and/or
15.4.2 refund any delivery costs you have paid, although, as permitted by law, the maximum refund will be the costs of delivery by the least expensive delivery method we offer (provided that this is a common and generally acceptable method).
15.4.3 make any refunds due to you as soon as possible and in any event within the deadlines indicated below:
15.4.3.1 if you have received the Product: 14 days after the day on which we receive the Product back from you or, if earlier, the day on which you provide us with evidence that you have sent the Product back to us. For information about how to return a Product to us, see clause 17.3;
15.4.3.2 if you have not received the Product: 14 days after you inform us of your decision to cancel the Contract.
15.5 If you have returned the Products to us because they are faulty or mis-described, we will refund the price of a defective Product in full, any applicable delivery charges, and any reasonable costs you incur in returning the item to us.
15.6 We will refund you on the credit card or debit card (or other payment method) used by you to pay. If you used vouchers to pay for the Product we may refund you in vouchers.
16.1 We may have to suspend the supply of a Product to:
(a) deal with technical problems or make minor technical changes;
(b) update the Product to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements; and/or
(c) make changes to the Product as requested by you or notified by us to you.
16.2 Your rights if we suspend the supply of Products.
16.3 We will contact you in advance to tell you we will be suspending supply of the Product, unless the problem is urgent or an emergency. If we have to suspend the Product for longer than 10 business days in any twenty-eight calendar day period we will adjust the price so that you do not pay for Products while they are suspended. You may contact us to end the Contract for a Product if we suspend it, or tell you we are going to suspend it, in each case for a period of more than twenty-eight calendar days and we will refund any sums you have paid in advance for the Product in respect of the period after you end the Contract.
16.4 We may cancel the Contract at any time by writing to you if:
(a) you do not, within a reasonable time, allow us to deliver the Products to you or collect them from us; or
(b) you do not (where applicable), within a reasonable time, allow us access to your premises to supply the services.
16.5 You must compensate us if you break the Contract. If we end the Contract in the situations set out in clause 10.3 we will refund any money you have paid in advance for Products we have not provided but we may deduct or charge you reasonable compensation for the net costs we will incur as a result of your breaking the Contract.
17.1 If you have any questions or complaints about the Product, please contact using one of the methods mentioned in clause 1.2.
17.2 We are under a legal duty to supply Products that are in conformity with this Contract. See the box below for a summary of your key legal rights in relation to the Product. Nothing in these Terms will affect your legal rights.

17.3 Your obligation to return rejected Products. If you wish to exercise your legal rights to reject Products you must either post them back to us or (if they are not suitable for posting) allow us to collect them from you.

22.1 We will not be liable or responsible for any failure to perform, or delay in performance of, any of our obligations under a Contract that is caused by an Event Outside Our Control. An Event Outside Our Control is defined in clause 22.2.
22.2 An Event Outside Our Control means any act or event beyond our reasonable control, including without limitation strikes, lock-outs or other industrial action by third parties, civil commotion, riot, invasion, terrorist attack or threat of terrorist attack, war (whether declared or not) or threat or preparation for war, fire, explosion, storm, flood, earthquake, subsidence, epidemic or other natural disaster, or failure of public or private telecommunications networks or impossibility of the use of railways, shipping, aircraft, motor transport or other means of public or private transport.
22.3 If an Event Outside Our Control takes place that affects the performance of our obligations under a Contract:
22.3.1 we will contact you as soon as reasonably possible to notify you; and
22.3.2 our obligations under a Contract will be suspended and the time for performance of our obligations will be extended for the duration of the Event Outside Our Control. Where the Event Outside Our Control affects our delivery of Products to you, we will arrange a new delivery date with you after the Event Outside Our Control is over.
23.1 When we refer, in these Terms, to "in writing", this will include e-mail.
23.2 If you are a consumer you may contact us as described in clause 1.2.
23.3 If you are a business:

23.4 The provisions of this clause shall not apply to the service of any proceedings or other documents in any legal action.

24.5 If we fail to insist that you perform any of your obligations under these Terms, or if we do not enforce our rights against you, or if we delay in doing so, that will not mean that we have waived our rights against you and will not mean that you do not have to comply with those obligations.
