We will notify you, via email, of dispatch of your Shop Items.  Our email will include the tracking information provided by our courier, Royal Mail, which will enable you to track delivery of your Shop Items through their online tracking system.

    3. We will deliver to the address you provided to us at the time you place your order.
    4. If you are unavailable to take delivery of your Shop Items, you can provide our courier, Royal Mail, with a nominated “safe place” to leave the parcel (you will be able to do this when Royal Mail provide you with the tracking number for the delivery of your Shop Items). If they are unable to deliver to your “safe place”, they will attempt to leave it with a neighbour or deliver to your local delivery office. A calling card will be left informing you of your parcel’s location (if you need to collect your parcel, instructions for collection will be on the calling card). Your delivery instructions are given at your risk and neither we nor our courier will be responsible for any loss or damage caused by following your instructions.
    5. If delivery of any of your Shop Items is delayed by an event outside our control (for example, bad weather, strikes, fuel shortages, road blockages, power failure, epidemic or pandemic, compliance with any law or governmental order, rule, regulation or direction etc) and there is likely to be significant delay in delivery, then we will contact you, by email, as soon as possible to let you know. We shall have no liability, nor shall we be deemed to be in breach of contract for any delay or failure in performance (in whole or in part), which results from an event outside our control.   When we contact you to let you know that there is likely to be a significant delay in delivery, we will give you the option to end the Contract.  If you choose to end the Contract, we will refund the price you paid for any Shop Items not delivered (and any delivery charge if no Shop Items have been delivered) using your original payment method; it can take up to 14 days for the refund to reach your account.
  10. Cancellation, returns and refunds
      1. If you change your mind about any Shop Items, you can return them (subject to the exception detailed below). Your right to return Shop Items is in accordance with your legal right to change your mind and cancel the Contract (cancelling the Contract means that you need to return all Shop Items in your order (again, subject to the exception detailed below at Clause 10.4).
      2. To exercise your right to change your mind you must comply with the following conditions:
        1. you have 14 days to let us know that you have changed your mind, by completing the Cancellation and Returns Form on our Website here. This 14 day period runs from the day on which you receive your Shop Item(s). If you have ordered a number of Shop Items, we may send them in separate parcels, if we do, the 14 day period will run from the day that you have received all your Shop Items (i.e. 14 days from the day that the last of your Shop Items arrives);
        2. you have a further 14 days to return the Shop Item(s) to us (our address to return Shop Items to us is The Great British Exchange, Unit 1 & 2, Kingsley Farm, Kingsley Road, Harrogate, HG1 4RF). This 14 day period runs from the day you complete the Cancellation and Returns Form (“Return Period”);
        3. all Shop Items (including any product packaging or labels) must be returned to us unused and in the same condition as they were sent to you; you are responsible for ensuring that the Shop Items are adequately packaged to reach us in the same condition and within the Return Period; and
        4. you will need to arrange return delivery to us and must pay all postage/courier charges. Please keep your proof of postage receipt or tracking code until you have received your refund.
      3.

We will refund you using the original payment method.  If any Shop Items are not returned in the same condition as they were sent to you, but you meet all the other conditions above, we will reduce your refund by a reasonable amount to reflect any reduction in the value of those Shop Items.

    Exceptions

    1. We do not accept cancellations or returns of Bake Off Boxes due to the perishable nature of the ingredients in each Bake Off Box.

    1. If we fail to comply with these Terms, we shall only be liable to you up to the price you paid for the Shop Item(s) giving rise to your claim.

  13. Other terms
    1. The Contract is binding on you and us and on our respective successors and assignees.
