These terms tell you who we are, how we will provide our bakery products to you, how you and we may change or end the contract, what to do if there is a problem and other important information. If you think that there is a mistake in these terms, please contact us to discuss.
    3. Are you a business customer or a consumer? In some areas you will have different rights under these terms depending on whether you are a business or consumer. You are a consumer if:
      • You are an individual.
      • You are buying bakery products from us wholly or mainly for your personal use (not for use in connection with your trade, business, craft or profession).
      Provisions specific to consumers only are in orange
      and those specific to businesses only are in green.
    4. If you are a business customer this is our entire agreement with you. If you are a business customer these terms constitute the entire agreement between us in relation to your purchase. You acknowledge that you have not relied on any statement, promise, representation, assurance or warranty made or given by or on behalf of us which is not set out in these terms and that you shall have no claim for innocent or negligent misrepresentation or negligent misstatement based on any statement in this agreement.

    4. "Writing" includes emails. When we use the words "writing" or "written" in these terms, this includes emails.
  3. Our contract with you
    1. How we will accept your order. Orders are accepted through our website or software before 1pm each day, at which point a contract will come into existence between you and us.
    2. If we cannot accept your order. If we are unable to accept your order, we will inform you of this and will not charge you for the products. This might be because of unexpected limits on our resources which we could not reasonably plan for, because we have identified an error in the price or description of the products or because we are unable to meet a delivery deadline you have specified.
    3. Your order number. We will assign an order number to your order and tell you what it is when we accept your order. It will help us if you can tell us the order number whenever you contact us about your order.
    4. We only sell to the UK. Our website and wholesale seller software are solely for the sale of our products in the UK. Unfortunately, we do not accept orders from addresses outside the UK.
  4. Our products

    Products may vary slightly from their pictures. The images of the products on our website are for illustrative purposes only. Although we have made every effort to display the colours accurately, we cannot guarantee that a device's display of the colours accurately reflects the colour of the products. Your products may vary slightly from those images.
  5. Your rights to make changes

    If you wish to make a change to the products you have ordered please contact us. We will let you know if the change is possible. If it is possible we will let you know about any changes to the price of the products, the timing of supply or anything else which would be necessary as a result of your requested change and ask you to confirm whether you wish to go ahead with the change.
  6. Our rights to make changes

    Changes to the products. We may change products to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements and to implement minor adjustments and improvements.
  7. Providing the products
    1. Delivery costs. The costs of delivery will be as displayed to you on our website or as otherwise notified to you from time to time.
    2. When we will provide the products. During the order process we will let you know when we will provide the products to you.
    3. We are not responsible for delays outside our control. If our supply of the products is delayed by an event outside our control then we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and we will take steps to minimise the effect of the delay. Provided we do this we will not be liable for delays caused by the event, but if there is a risk of substantial delay you may contact us to end the contract and receive a refund for any products you have paid for but not received.
    4. Collection by you. If you are a consumer, you must collect your products from us at any time during our normal opening hours.
    5. If you are not available to take delivery when the product is delivered. If no one is available at your address to take delivery we will leave you a note informing you of how to rearrange delivery or collect the products from us.

    9. What will happen if you do not give required information to us. We may need certain information from you so that we can supply our products to you. If so, we will contact you to ask for this information. If you do not give us this information within a reasonable time of us asking for it, or if you give us incomplete or incorrect information, we may either end the contract (and clause 10.2 will apply) or make an additional charge of a reasonable sum to compensate us for any extra work that is required as a result. We will not be responsible for supplying the products late or not supplying any part of them if this is caused by you not giving us the information we need within a reasonable time of us asking for it.
    10. Reasons we may suspend the supply of products to you. We may have to suspend the supply of products to:
      1. deal with technical problems or make minor technical changes;
      2. update the products to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements;
      3. make changes to the products as requested by you or notified by us to you (see clause 6).
    11. Your rights if we suspend the supply of products. We will contact you in advance to tell you we will be suspending supply of products, unless the problem is urgent or an emergency. If we have to suspend the products 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 products if we suspend it, or tell you we are going to suspend it, in each case for a period of more than 1 week and we will refund any sums you have paid in advance for the products in respect of the period after you end the contract.
    12. We may also suspend supply of the products if you do not pay. If you do not pay us for the products when you are supposed to (see clause 14.3) and you still do not make payment within 5 days of us reminding you that payment is due, we may suspend supply of the products until you have paid us the outstanding amounts. We will contact you to tell you we are suspending supply of the products. We will not suspend the products where you dispute the unpaid invoice (see clause 14.7). We will not charge you for the products during the period for which they are suspended. As well as suspending the products we can also charge you interest on your overdue payments (see clause 14.6).
  8. Your rights to end the contract
    1. You can always end your contract with us. Your rights when you end the contract will depend on what you have bought, whether there is anything wrong with it, how we are performing, when you decide to end the contract and whether you are a consumer or business customer:
      1. If what you have bought is not of satisfactory quality or misdescribed you may have a legal right to end the contract (or to get the products replaced or to get some or all of your money back), see clause 12 if you are a consumer and clause 13 if you are a business;
      2. If you want to end the contract because of something we have done or have told you we are going to do, see clause 8.2;
      3. If you are a consumer and have just changed your mind about the products, see clause 8.3. You may be able to get a refund if you let us know before 1pm, but this may be subject to deductions;
      4. In all other cases (if we are not at fault and you are not a consumer exercising your right to change your mind), see clause 8.4.
    2. Ending the contract because of something we have done or are going to do. If you are ending a contract for a reason set out at (a) to (e) below the contract will end immediately and we will refund you in full for any products which have not been provided and you may also be entitled to compensation. The reasons are:
      1. we have told you about an error in the price or description of the products you have ordered and you do not wish to proceed;
      2. there is a risk that supply of the products may be significantly delayed because of events outside our control;
      3. we have suspended supply of the products for technical reasons, or notify you we are going to suspend them for technical reasons, in each case for a period of more than 1 week; or
      4. you have a legal right to end the contract because of something we have done wrong.

      2. any products which become mixed inseparably with other items after their delivery.
    4. Ending the contract where we are not at fault and there is no right to change your mind. Even if we are not at fault and you are not a consumer who has a right to change their mind (see clause 8.1), you can still end the contract before it is completed, but you may have to pay us compensation. A contract for our products is completed when the products are delivered and paid for. If you want to end a contract before it is completed where we are not at fault and you are not a consumer who has changed their mind, just contact us to let us know. The contract will end immediately and we will refund any sums paid by you for products not provided but we may deduct from that refund (or, if you have not made an advance payment, charge you) reasonable compensation for the net costs we will incur as a result of your ending the contract.

Loss or damage is foreseeable if either it is obvious that it will happen or if, at the time the contract was made, both we and you knew it might happen, for example, if you discussed it with us during the sales process.
    2. We do not exclude or limit in any way our liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so.

    5. Even if we delay in enforcing this contract, we can still enforce it later. If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking this contract, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date. For example, if you miss a payment and we do not chase you but we continue to provide the products, we can still require you to make the payment at a later date.
    6. Which laws apply to this contract and where you may bring legal proceedings if you are a consumer. These terms are governed by English law and you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the products in the English courts.
    7. Which laws apply to this contract and where you may bring legal proceedings if you are a business.
