Supply of Products - Terms & Conditions
How the contact is formed between you and us
1. 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 order has been accepted (Order Confirmation). The contract between us ("Contract") will only be formed when we send you the Order Confirmation.
2. The Contract will relate only to those Products whose dispatch we have confirmed in the Order Confirmation. We will not be obliged to supply any other Products which may have been part of your order until the order of such Products has been confirmed in a separate Order Confirmation.
Cancellation
3. If you are contracting as a consumer, you may cancel a Contract at any time within seven working days, beginning on the day after our delivery agents have recorded successful delivery of your order, provided you: (a) inform us by either (i) emailing your cancellation to us at online.shop@ahmadtea.com or (ii) writing to us at Ahmad Tea, Winchester Road, Chandlers Ford, Hampshire, SO53 2PZ or (iii) calling us on 02380 278900 between the hours of [9am to 5pm Monday to Friday (except for Public Bank Holidays)]; and (b) return the Product(s) to us immediately in the same condition in which you received them. In this case, you will receive a full refund of the price paid (including the postage price) for the Products in accordance with our refunds policy (set out in clauses 9 - 10). For the avoidance of doubt, we will not refund Product(s) which have been opened or tampered with or which have been consumed in whole or in part.
4. When returning a Product(s) to us in accordance with paragraph 3, you do so 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. Further details of your right to cancel, and an explanation of how to exercise it, are provided in the Dispatch Confirmation. These provisions do not affect any statutory rights that you may have.
Availability
5. The Products shown on this website are a fair representation of the actual terms, although minor details may vary.
6. All Products offered are subject to availability. We will endeavour to identify any "out of stock" products on our website - occasionally, large or frequent orders might mean we run of stock during the trading day.
Risk and Title
7. The Products will be at your risk from the time of signed delivery.
8. 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.
Price and Payment
9. The price of any Products will be as quoted on our site and amended from time to time.
10. These prices include VAT if applicable but exclude delivery costs, which will be added to the total amount due as set out in clause 5.
11. 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.
12. 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.
13. Payment will be taken at the time of ordering.
14. You undertake that the details you provide to us for the propose of ordering or purchasing goods are correct, that the credit or debit card you are using is your own and that there is sufficient funds to cover the cost of the goods or services ordered.
Refund Policy
15. When you return a Product to us:
a. because you have cancelled the Contract between us within the seven-day cooling-off period (see clause 3), we will process the refund due to you as soon as possible and, in any case, within 30 days of the day you have given notice of your cancellation. In this case, we will refund the price of the Product in full. You will be responsible for the cost of returning the item to us and risk remains with you until we receive the Product(s);
b. for any other reason (for instance, because have notified us in accordance with clause 22 that you do not agree to any change in these terms and conditions or in any of our policies, or because you claim that the Product is defective), we will examine the returned Product and will notify you of your refund via e-mail within a reasonable period of time. We will usually process the refund due to you as soon as possible and, in any case, within 30 days of the day we confirmed to you via e-mail that you were entitled to a refund of the Product price paid. Products returned by you because of a defect will be refunded in full, including a refund of the delivery charges for sending the item to you and the cost incurred by you in returning the item to us.
16. We will usually refund any money received from you using the same method originally used by you to pay for your purchase.
Import Duty
17. If you order Products from our site for delivery outside the UK, they may be subject to import duties and taxes which are levied when the delivery reaches the specified destination. You will be responsible for payment of any such import duties and taxes. Please note that we have no control over these charges and cannot predict their amount. Please contact your local customs office for further information before placing your order.
18. Please also note that you must comply with all applicable laws and regulations of the country for which the products are destined. We will not be liable for any breach by you of any such laws.

22. 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 by law or governmental authority (in which case it will apply to orders previously placed by you), or if we notify you of the change to those policies or these terms and conditions before we send you the Dispatch Confirmation (in which case we have the right to assume that you have accepted the change to the terms and conditions, unless you notify us to the contrary within seven working days of receipt by you of the Products).
