Goods, Pricing and Availability

Whilst every effort has been made to ensure that all graphical representations and descriptions of goods available from the Site correspond to the actual goods, We are not responsible for any variations from these descriptions. This does not exclude our liability for mistakes due to negligence on our part and refers only to variations of the correct goods, not different goods altogether. 

We do our utmost to ensure that prices displayed on the site are correct and up to date. However, 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. In the instance where you have been incorrectly charged please email our Customer Support team at help@indiangrocerystore.co.uk with your name and order number and we will arrange for a correction to be applied to the payment method that was originally used at time of purchase.

Where appropriate, you may be required to select the required [size] [model] [colour] [number] [other features] of the goods that you are purchasing.

In the event that prices are changed during the period between an order being placed for goods and us processing that order and taking payment, the company will do its utmost within reason to contact you prior to your order being processed with details of the new price. We are under no obligation to provide the product to you at the incorrect (lower) price. The company reserves the right to cancel any orders placed at that price and return in full any payment received.

Product Purchases and Payment 

Product purchases can only be made through the online ordering facility on the website. The ordering facility and our communications to you in relation to any order or contract will be in the English language. 

The ordering facility allows you to review your order and make any corrections before submitting it to us. For each product in which you click “add to cart” you are given the opportunity to review the quantity and cost of each item in your shopping cart when you choose to view your basket details by clicking the basket icon. You can change your order, or cancel the purchase of each of the products completely, at this stage, or at any time before clicking Pay Now. By submitting the order you confirm that you have made any corrections necessary to your order.

Your submission of an order amounts to an offer to enter a contract to buy the products from us; you cannot then withdraw or cancel your order except as stated below.

Where we accept an order, we do all that we can to ensure that your order is fulfilled. Products are, however, subject to availability and market conditions and we do not always know if a product is or will be available at the time of accepting an order. If we are unable to deliver an item you have ordered, we may offer a reasonable substitute. You may reject that substitute within seven days from receiving the product, in which case we will refund the full amount paid once the product has been returned to our nominated address at a cost to us. If we do not offer a substitute, we will remove the product from your order so that you are not charged or, if you have paid already, we will refund you the price. We will, however, bear no liability for unavailability of products.

Ordering a Product from us carries with it the obligation to pay for it unless we receive from you a cancellation of or change to your orders before order dispatch. You remain responsible for ensuring that any such change or cancellation is not only transmitted by you, but received by us, before the order is dispatched. We reserve the right to deliver and charge in full for any order unless we have received notice of cancellation before order dispatch. For any payments you have made for orders which have been properly cancelled, a credit will be applied to the original payment method used at the time of purchase.

We reserve the right to cancel purchases, for any reason prior to processing payment and dispatch.If purchases are cancelled for any reason prior to dispatch you will be refunded any monies paid in relation to those purchases.

You are entitled to cancel a payment for products where fraudulent use has been made of your payment card by a person not acting, or to be treated as acting, as your agent. If you have already made a payment where your payment card has been so fraudulently used, then you should approach your card issuer for re-credit to your card.

If you wish to purchase from the Site, you must ensure that we are provided with details of a valid payment method. We accept payments from PayPal, Visa, Mastercard and American Express debit and credit cards; please check your service provider for their usage terms and conditions. 

Payments made to this site are done so through the Shopify Payments gateway. As part of the payment services provided by Shopify Payment, they will collect and process your Cardholder Data and in doing so they may transmit or possess the data outside ours or your jurisdiction, and it may be subject to disclosure as required by applicable law. 

We reserve the right to suspend deliveries to you if we are refused authority from your card issuer for payment, or we reasonably believe that payment will be refused. You agree to compensate us in full against any and all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable legal) costs and expenses that we may incur in obtaining payments due from you that you have not made in accordance with your agreement with us as set out in these Terms and Conditions.

Returns and Cancellations of Orders

We want our customers to be satisfied with their products but understand that sometimes circumstances mean orders need to be cancelled or products returned. Full details on our Returns Policy and Cancellation Policy can be found on our website. 

Limitation of liability

We are responsible to you for foreseeable loss and damage caused by us. If we fail to comply with these terms, we are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breaking this contract or our failing to use reasonable care and skill, but we are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable. 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.

We do not exclude or limit in any way our liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so. This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractor; for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; for breach of your legal rights, including the right to receive products which are: as described and match information we provided to you and any sample or model seen or examined by you; of satisfactory quality; fit for any particular purpose made known to us; supplied with reasonable skill and care and, where installed by us, correctly installed; and for defective products under the Consumer Rights Act 2015.

We are not liable for business losses. We only supply the products for domestic and private use. If you use the products for any commercial, business or resale purpose we will have no liability to you for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity.

We are not responsible for delays outside of our control. If our delivery of the products is delayed by an event outside of our control then we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and we will take reasonable 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 have not yet received.

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 events outside our reasonable control (Force Majeure Event).

  • A Force Majeure Event includes any act, event, non-happening, omission or accident beyond our reasonable control and includes in particular (without limitation) the following:
    • Strikes, lock-outs or other industrial action. 
    • 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, zombie apocalypse or other natural disaster.
    • Impossibility of the use of railways, shipping, aircraft, motor transport or other means of public or private transport.
    • Impossibility of the use of public or private telecommunications networks.
    • The acts, decrees, legislation, regulations or restrictions of any government.
  • Our performance under any contract is deemed to be suspended for the period that the Force Majeure Event continues, and we will have an extension of time for performance for the duration of that period.  We will use our reasonable endeavours to bring the Force Majeure Event to a close or to find a solution by which our obligations under the contract may be performed despite the Force Majeure Event. 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.

Insofar as is permitted by law, our only liability to you under these Terms and Conditions will be, at our sole discretion, to make good any shortage or non-delivery, to replace or repair any goods which are received by you in a damaged or defective state or to refund to you any sums actually paid by you for the goods in question. We will not be liable to you for any indirect or consequential loss or damage arising out of any problem you notify to us and will have no liability to you for any failure or delay in delivering goods or any damage or defect in goods delivered which is caused by any event or circumstance which is beyond our reasonable control. Nothing in this clause affects your statutory rights as a consumer.

Whilst every effort has been made to ensure that these Terms and Conditions adhere strictly with the relevant provisions of the Consumer Rights Act 2015, in the event that any of these Terms are found to be unlawful, invalid or otherwise unenforceable, that Term is to be deemed severed from these Terms and Conditions and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining Terms and Conditions. This Term shall apply only within jurisdictions where a particular Term is illegal.

Waiver 

If we fail at any time to insist upon strict performance of any of your obligations under these terms, or if we fail to exercise any of the rights or remedies to which we are entitled under them, this shall not constitute a waiver of such rights or remedies and shall not relieve you from compliance with such obligations. A waiver by us of any default shall not constitute a waiver of any subsequent default. No waiver by us of any of these terms shall be effective unless it is expressly stated to be a waiver and is communicated to you in writing.

Complaints

We aim to resolve any complaints you may have as fast as possible. Once a complaint has been submitted to us in writing via help@indiangrocerystore.co.uk you will receive an acknowledgement of receipt within 48 hours. If we are unable to resolve a complaint that you make within eight weeks you can take your complaint to Retail ADR. This is an independent organisation specialising in providing an alternative dispute resolution service for consumers and retailers.
