Please read these Website Terms carefully before ordering any products through the Website. By ordering products through the Website (whether now or in the future), you agree to be bound by these Website Terms. Use of the Website is also subject to these Website Terms.

We reserve the right to change these Website Terms from time to time by changing them on this page. We advise you to print a copy of these Website Terms for future reference. These Website Terms are only in the English language.

Use of your personal information submitted via the Website is governed by our Privacy Policy and Cookies Policy.

We provide the delivery services, and we may charge you the delivery fee ourselves (in respect of that delivery fee only, as principal).

2. Website access and terms

2.1. Website access

You may access some areas of the Website without making an Order or registering your details with us. Most areas of the Website are open to everyone.

2.2. Acceptance of terms

We may revise these Website Terms at any time. You should check the Website regularly to review the current Website Terms, because they are binding on you. You will be subject to the policies and terms and conditions in force at the time that you place an Order through us.

You are responsible for making all arrangements necessary for you to have access to the Website. You are also responsible for ensuring that all persons who access the Website through your Internet connection are aware of these Website Terms and that they comply with them.

4. How to make an order and how it is processed

4.1. Compiling your Order

Once you have selected the Products you wish to order from the menu and provided the other required information, you will be given the opportunity to submit your Order by clicking or selecting the “proceed”, “place my order” or similar button. It is important that you check all the information that you enter and correct any errors before clicking or selecting this button; once you do so you will be entering into a contract with Veg Life and errors cannot be corrected (subject to paragraph 4.2. below). Where you have not logged in or created an account previously, then you may have the option to continue with your Order as a guest. By electing to complete your Order as a guest, you are agreeing that Veg Life will create a temporary Veg Life guest account for you which will, unless otherwise stated in these Website Terms, be accessible only (a) from the device which you use to place the Order; and (b) for a period of up to twelve months following the date of the Order. Your access to your temporary guest account will expire on the “Expiry Date” which shall be the earlier of (i) the date falling six months after the date on which you last accessed the temporary guest account; (ii) the date falling twelve months after the date on which the temporary guest account was created; and (iii) the date on which you logout of your temporary guest account, or clear the cache on the device which you used when the temporary guest account was created.

4.2. Amending or cancelling your Order

Once you have submitted your Order and your payment has been authorised, you will not be entitled to change or cancel your Order, nor will you be entitled to a refund (please refer to paragraphs 4.4 and 5.6 for details of the process relating to rejected Orders and refunding of payment). If you wish to change or cancel your Order, you may contact our Customer Care team as described in paragraph 6.3 and they will attempt to communicate your requests. However, there is no guarantee that we will be able to cancel your order if it has already began being prepared.

4.3. Payment authorisation

Where any payment you make is not authorised, your Order will not be processed or communicated to Veg Life.

4.4. Processing your Order and Veg Life rejections

On receipt of your Order, we will notify you by email that your Order has been received and is being processed. Please note that any confirmation page that you may see on the Website and any Order confirmation e-mail that you may receive each confirm that you have a contract for the sale of Products with Veg Life but does not necessarily mean that your Order will be fulfilled by Veg Life. We will notify you (generally by email) as soon as reasonably practicable if Veg Life rejects your Order. However, Veg Life have the ability to reject Orders at any time because they are too busy, due to weather conditions or for any other reason. In doing so, Veg Life will be in breach of their agreement with you and any payment made in respect of the order will be returned to you in accordance with paragraph 5.6 below.

4.5. Delivery of your Order

Estimated times for deliveries and collections are provided by Veg Life and are only estimates. Veg Life does not guarantee that Orders will be delivered or will be available for collection within the estimated times.

4.6. Commercial agency

For the avoidance of doubt, any orders processed by Veg Life through the Website are processed by Veg Life.

5. Price and payment

5.1. VAT and delivery costs

Prices will be as quoted on the Website. These prices include VAT but may exclude delivery costs (if you opt for delivery instead of collection) and any administration or service charge imposed by Veg Life. These will be added to the total amount due where applicable.

5.2. Incorrect pricing

This Website contains a large number of menus and it is possible that some of the menus may include incorrect prices. If the correct price for an Order is higher than the price stated on the Website, we will normally contact you before the relevant Order is dispatched. In such an event, Veg Life is under any obligation to ensure that the Order is provided to you at the incorrect lower price or to compensate you in respect of incorrect pricing.

5.3. Payment methods

Payment for Orders must be made by an accepted credit or debit card through the Website, direct bank transfer, or through PayPal.

5.4. Card payments

If you pay by credit or debit card, you may be required to show the card to Veg Life at the time of delivery or collection as proof of identification and so that they can check that the card corresponds with the receipt data for the Order. Please note that from time to time there may be delays with the processing of card payments and transactions; this may result in payments taking up to sixty (60) days to be deducted from your bank account or charged to your credit or debit card.

5.5. Rejected Orders

Because of standard banking procedures, once you have submitted an Order that you are paying for by credit or debit card and your payment has been authorised, your bank or card issuer will “ring-fence” the full amount of your Order. If your Order is subsequently rejected by Veg Life (as described in paragraph 4.4 above) or cancelled for any other reason, your bank or card issuer will not transfer the funds for the Order to us, and will instead release the relevant amount back into your available balance. However, this may take between 3 to 5 working days (or longer, depending on your bank or card issuer). You acknowledge and agree that Veg Life will not be responsible or liable to you in relation to this delay by your bank or card issuer in the release of funds back into your account.

6. Customer care
