  5. OUR SHOP – REPEAT WEEKLY ORDER AND ONE TIME ORDERS

    1. Repeat Weekly Order and One Time Orders. You can:

      1. set up a Repeat Weekly Order for weekly deliveries of a product to you, whereby we make weekly deliveries of the product to you in the ordered quantities, on your chosen days (for example, Mondays and Fridays), and you make recurring weekly payments to us in respect of your order (Repeat Weekly Order) (see clause 8.4 (How to pay)). Your recurring weekly payment for your Repeat Weekly Order will continue indefinitely unless cancelled (see clause 6.1 (How to cancel or change your existing order)) or suspended (see clause 6.2 (Pausing your active orders)) in accordance with these Terms; and
      2. if you sign up to our Weekly Service, you can also purchase a product in our Shop on a one-off basis, whereby you make a one-off payment when placing your order, and we make a single delivery of that product to you, in the ordered quantity, on your selected delivery day (One Time Orders).

    2. How to place an order in our Shop. To place an order in our Shop on our Website or App you need to take the following steps:

      1. log into your Account and select the product you wish to buy;
      2. if you wish to receive recurring deliveries of a product, select “Weekly Service” and choose your required quantities and days of deliveries from the options available on the screen and use the buttons provided on the screen to add the product to your virtual shopping basket;
      3. if you have already signed up to receive a Repeat Weekly Order and wish to place a One Time Order for the product, select “One Time Order” and select your required quantity of the product and use the buttons provided on the screen to add the product to your virtual shopping basket;
      4. continue shopping for order products or proceed to the checkout;
      5. choose your start date (this will be the date on which we will make the first delivery under your Repeat Weekly Order and/or on which we will deliver your One Time Order);
      6. check the details of your orders to make sure that you are happy with them, and select the “Checkout button” to proceed to the payment screen;
      7. select your preferred method of payment (provide your payment card and billing information, or select saved card information); and

    4. Order acknowledgement and acceptance. When you place your order at the end of the online checkout process, we will acknowledge it on screen, followed by an email.

At this point, a legally binding contract will be in place between you and us in respect of that order.

    5. If we cannot accept your order. If we are unable to accept your order, we will email you to inform you about it, and no contract between us will come into force. This might be, for example, because: the goods are unavailable; the milkman serving your area is not available; we cannot authorise your payment; or there has been a mistake on the pricing or description of the goods. If we do not accept your order, we will refund your payment for your order by the method you used for payment within 48 hours.

  6. CANCELLING OR CHANGING YOUR ORDER

    1. How to cancel or change your existing order. You can cancel or make changes to your orders at any time up to 8pm on the day prior to the scheduled delivery day. You can view details of your orders, make changes to your orders, and cancel your orders (except milk) online within your Account on our Website or App. You must contact us if you want to cancel your milk delivery, or to change one type or milk to another (e.g. switch from whole to skimmed milk).

    2. Pausing your active orders. You can temporarily suspend (up to a maximum of four weeks) your Repeat Weekly Order within your Account area on our Website or App any time up to 8pm on the day prior to the scheduled delivery day. You rRepeat Weekly Order will get automatically reactivated at the end of the suspension period set by you. When your Repeat Weekly Order is paused in accordance with this clause 6.2, we will not charge you in respect of goods not delivered to you within the suspension period.

    3. The effect of cancelling or changing your order. If, in accordance with clause 6.1, you:

      1. cancel your Repeat Weekly Order or One Time Order, it will end that order, and all payments received from you in respect of supplies under that order that will not be made after the date of the cancellation will be credited to your Account; or
      2. make a change to your Repeat Weekly Order or One Time Order then:

        (1) any payments which you already made in respect of any cancelled items will be credited to your Account; and

        (2) the prices charged for any new items added by you to your existing order will be the prices applicable to the goods at the time when you submit changes to your original order, as displayed in our Shop, which may be higher or lower than the prices that applied to your original order.

        In each case, we will send you an email confirming the cancellations or changes you make to your order.

    4. Refunds. All refunds under clause 6.3 will be automatically credited to your Account. If you prefer us to refund that money to your payment card, please let us know by contacting us using one of the contact methods set out in clause 1.2 (How to contact us). All such refunds will be made:

      1. without undue delay, and no later than within seven days after we receive your request; and
      2. to your original method of payment (unless you expressly agree otherwise).

        3. In any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of the reimbursement.

    5. Your statutory cancellation rights.

      Under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013, if you buy goods online, you have the right to cancel your purchase without giving any reason within the cancellation period, and receive a refund. 

      In case of one-off sales, the cancellation period ends 14 days after the day on which the goods are delivered. If the contract is a sales contract for regular delivery of goods during a defined period of more than one day, the cancellation period ends at the end of the 14 days after the day on which the first of the goods are delivered.

      These rights are subject to certain exemptions. For example:

      • the Regulations do not apply to contracts for the supply of foodstuffs, beverages or other goods intended for current consumption in the household and which are supplied by a trader on frequent and regular rounds to the consumer's home, residence or workplace (such as supply of consumables by milkmen);

      • the cancellation rights under the Regulations do not apply to the supply of goods which are liable to deteriorate or expire rapidly; and

      • the cancellation rights under the Regulations cease to be available: if sealed goods which are not suitable for return due to health protection or hygiene reasons become unsealed after delivery; or if goods become inseparably mixed with other items after delivery.

      To meet the cancellation deadline, you must communicate your cancellation to us before the 14 days’ period has expired. If you wish, you can but do not have to use the model cancellation form below:

      To Modern Milkman,  Suite 14 Burton House, 2A Market Place, Colne, BB8 0HY, [email protected]  

      I hereby give notice that I cancel my contract of sale of the following goods:

      • Ordered on [*] / received on [*]

      • Name of consumer:

      • Address of consumer:

      • Signature of consumer (only if this form is notified on paper):

      • Date:

      • [*] Delete as appropriate


      For detailed information from Citizens Advice please visit https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/ or call 03454 04 05 06.

       

      1. Nothing in these Terms affects your legal rights. Although most of our products fall under the above exclusions, you may have a statutory cancellation right in respect of an order, which does not fall under one of the exceptions set out above (for example, is not a consumable). You may also have other rights in law.
      2. If you cancel an order under this clause 6.5, we will reimburse to you all payments we receive from you in respect of that order. We may make a deduction from the reimbursement (excluding delivery costs) to reflect any reduction in the value of the goods caused by unnecessary handling by you in a way which would not be permitted in a shop. If we refund you the price paid before we are able to inspect the goods and later discover you have handled them in an unacceptable way, you must pay us an appropriate amount to cover the loss in value of the goods. We will collect the goods from you at our cost. You must make them available for collection on the next delivery day in your area, as instructed by us. You must keep the goods in your possession, take reasonable care of them (including ensuring that you follow any storage instructions provided on the product packaging) and not use them before we collect them from you.
        We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than: 14 days after the day we received back from you any goods supplied; or if there were no goods supplied, 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to cancel this contract.

  7. DELIVERY

    1. Delivery costs. The cost of delivery will be added to the price of goods and will be as shown when you are placing your order.

    2. Delivery address and instructions.

      1. Areas we cover. You can only place an order in our Shop if we cover your area (see clause 4.3 (Delivery restrictions)). Deliveries will be made to your address as registered in your Account (save as set out below).
      2. You must provide us with accurate information. You can add any specific, reasonable, delivery instructions to your Account on our Website or App (for example, “leave on the doorstep”). The address and any other information you provide to us must be accurate and complete. 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, or by you giving us incorrect or incomplete information.
      3. If no one is available to take delivery. We make deliveries at night or in the early hours of the day. Because of that, we will leave your orders on your doorstep (or another place as per your delivery instructions). We will not check if you are at home or knock at your door and hand your order to you. For those reasons, if you are going to be away (for example, if you are going on holiday), you must cancel or suspend your order (see clause 6, Cancelling or changing your order). We will not be responsible if no one is available at your address at the time of delivery.
      4. If you change your address, you must update your details on your Account on our Website or App or let us know using one of the methods set out in clause 1.2 (How to contact us). Changing your address will result in cancellation of your active orders from the date of the address change (see clause 6.3(b) (The effect of cancelling or changing your order)). If your new address is in an area to which we deliver, you can place a new order to your new address. Otherwise, you can close your Account and end the contract with us (see clause 11.1 (Closing your Account)).

    3. Delivery frequency and days. When selecting goods in our Shop (see clause 5.2 (How to place an order in our Shop)), you can choose from the options displayed in our Shop to specify how often (e.g. weekly) and on which days of the week (e.g. Mondays and Fridays) you wish us to deliver each of the products included in your order. The choice of delivery days and frequency may vary in different geographical areas we cover.

    4. Delivery time. Your local milkman will usually deliver your orders before 7.30am, but this time is only an estimate, and we cannot guarantee that your order will be delivered by that time.

    5. If we cannot supply the goods you paid for. If we cannot supply you with the goods that you ordered and already paid for (for example, if we run out of stock required to fulfil your Repeat Weekly Order):

      1. we will either deliver them to you with your next order after those goods become available or substitute them with alternative goods of equal or better standard and value;
      2. we will usually let you know if we intend to do this but this may not always be possible; and
      3. you can refuse to accept substitutes or deliveries with your next order by pausing or cancelling the unavailable item within your Account area on our Website or App, in which case we will credit the price of the unavailable paused or cancelled items to your Account.

        4. Please see clause 6 (Cancelling or changing your order) for further information on cancelling orders, pausing orders and refunds.

    6. We may withdraw the product. We reserve the right to discontinue a product in our product range. If that change affects your active order, we will let you know at least seven days before withdrawing that product, and:

      1. where possible, we will offer to substitute that product with an alternative product; and
      2. you can refuse to accept such substitutes, in which case we will offer you a refund.

        3. If it is not possible to offer you an alternative product, or if you choose a refund, our contract with you for the supply of that product will end, and we will make the refund as soon as possible and in any event within 14 days.

    7. Delays outside our control. If our supply of the products is delayed by an event outside our control, 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.

    8. Completion of delivery. Delivery of the goods will take place when our delivery provider delivers them to the address that you gave to us and leave your order on your doorstep (or another place as per your delivery instructions).

    9. Responsibility for the goods. We are responsible for the goods until they are delivered to you. You are responsible for the goods once delivery has taken place (as set out in clause 7.8 above). In other words, the risk in the goods passes to you when they are delivered to you.

    10. Changes to the areas and days we cover. We reserve the right to cease delivering in your area or change the days of deliveries in your area. We will give you at least 14 days’ notice of any change by sending you an email with details of the change.

      1. If we cease delivering in your area, this contract will automatically end at the expiry of that 14 days’ notice. We will refund to you any sums paid by you in relation to orders placed before the end of the contract, which will not be delivered to you after the contract ends.
      2. If we change the weekdays on which we deliver in your area, and this affects your active orders:

        (1) delivery days for your active orders will be changed to the new weekdays at the end of the 14 days’ notice period; and

        (2) if you choose not to accept the new delivery days, you can cancel your orders as described in clause 6.1 (How to cancel your existing order).

        In each case, we will send you an email confirming the cancellations or changes you make to your order.

    11. Your legal rights if we deliver goods late.

      1. What happens if we miss your delivery date. If we do not deliver your goods on the agreed day, we will deliver the missed order to you on your next scheduled delivery day. If you do not want us to do that, please contact us to cancel that redelivery. Please see clause 6 (Cancelling or changing your order) for information on cancelling orders.
      2. This does not affect your legal rights. We have summarised those rights below. If you prefer to set a different time for delivery or treat the contract as at an end and receive a refund, please let us know using one of the contact methods set out in clause 1.2 (How to contact us).

        3.  

        The Consumer Rights Act 2015:

        • Allows you to treat the contract as at an end if: we have refused to deliver the goods at the agreed time/period, and delivery within the agreed time/period was essential (taking into account all the relevant circumstances, or you told us before we accepted your order that delivery within the agreed time/period was essential. If you treat the contract as at an end, we must without undue delay reimburse all payments made in respect of that order.

        • In any other circumstances, you can specify a period that is appropriate in the circumstances and require us to deliver the goods before the end of that period. If you do, and we fail to deliver again, you may treat the contract as at an end, and we must without undue delay reimburse all payments made in respect of that order.

        • If you do not treat the contract as at an end, that does not prevent you from cancelling the order for any of the goods or rejecting goods that have been delivered, and we have to without delay reimburse all payments in respect of any goods for which you cancel the order or which you reject.

  8. PRICE AND PAYMENT

    1. Our App and Website are free. You only have to pay us when purchasing products in our Shop, which you can access on our Website (including when optimised for mobile devices) and App. Our Website is free to use, and our App is free to download and use.

    2. Where to find the price for a product in our Shop. The price of the product and delivery charges will be as indicated on the order pages when you place your order for the goods in our Shop. Please see clause 6.3(b) (The effect of cancelling or changing your order) for the effect of making changes to your existing orders on the price you pay for the goods.

    3. What is included in the price of goods. The price of the goods:

      1. is in pounds sterling (£)(GBP);
      2. includes VAT at the applicable rate; and
      3. does not include the cost of delivering the goods to you by your local milkman, which will be displayed separately on the order page, and which you must pay in addition to the price of goods.

    4. How to pay. We accept the following methods of payment: credit cards and debit cards as listed on our Shop pages at the time when you place your orders; and our discount codes. The method of payment available to you depends on the type of order you place in our Shop:

      1. one-off payments can be made by a debit or credit card in conjunction with our discount code, if you have one, (see clause 5.2 (How to place an order in our Shop)). Your credit card or debit card will be charged when you place your order;
      2. recurring payments must be made using a recurring card payment facility. In order to set this up, you will need to enter your payment card details on the payment section of our Shop during the ordering process (see clause 5.2 (How to place an order in our Shop)). Once your Repeat Weekly Order is placed, we will send you an email confirming details of the order, including the weekly amount to be charged to your card and the day of the week on which we will charge that amount. You can also view this information and change your payment card details, at any time, in your Account on our Website or App.

        3. For information on cancelling or changing your orders and refunds following such changes, please see clause 6 (Cancelling or changing your order).

    5. Discount codes. We may from time to time make available to you a discount code to reduce the total price you must pay to us for your order. To benefit from your discount code, you need to apply it during the ordering process before completing your order.

    6. Payment failures. If you place an order with us:

      1. We may automatically update your payment card details. We may use a secure payment card update service provided by Visa and Mastercard in order to minimise the risk of a failed payment due to expired, lost, stolen, re-issued or out-of-date payment details. This service will automatically update your payment card details to prevent your recurring weekly payment to us from failing. If we are unable to update your payment card details using this service, we will send you an email asking you to update your payment card details on your Account on our Website or App.
      2. We may suspend your order if your payment fails. We may suspend your active orders if your payment fails three consecutive times; we are refused authority to charge your payment card to fulfil your order; and/or we have reasonable grounds to believe that a scheduled payment will be refused. If we suspend your active order in these circumstances, we will not deliver any regular orders to you during the period of suspension, and will not be liable to you for late or failed delivery.
      3. You must compensate our costs if your payment fails. It is your responsibility to ensure that your payment card details are correct and up-to-date and that you have sufficient funds to cover payments under your orders. If, as a result of you breaking this condition, we are unable to collect a payment from you under an order you have placed with us, you must compensate us for the net costs we will incur.

    7. We may increase our prices. We may vary the prices of our products or product ranges from time to time. If a proposed increase in price affects your existing Repeat Weekly Order, we will give you at least 7 days’ notice by sending you an email with details of the change. The new price will come into effect at the end of that 7 days’ period. If you choose not to accept the price increase, you can cancel your order as described in clause 6.1 (How to cancel your existing order).

    8. What happens if we got the price wrong. We take reasonable care to ensure that the price of the product displayed is correct. However, it is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the products we sell may be incorrectly priced.

      1. We will normally check prices before accepting your order so that, where the product's correct price at your order date is less than our stated price at your order date, we will charge the lower amount.
      2. If the product's correct price at your order date is higher than the price stated to you, we will contact you for your instructions before we accept your order. If you tell us that you do not wish to proceed, we may reject your order and no contract between us in respect of that order will come into existence.
      3. If, after accepting your order, we notice a pricing error, which was obvious and unmistakeable and could reasonably have been recognised by you as a mispricing, we may end the contract, refund you any sums you have paid and require the return of any goods provided to you.

    9. If you receive the goods before you pay. If your payment is not received by us and you have already received the goods, we will add that payment to your next invoice.

    10. Security of electronic payments. We will do all that we reasonably can to ensure that all of the information you give us when paying for the goods is secure by using an encrypted secure payment mechanism. However, in the absence of negligence on our part, any failure by us to comply with this contract or our Privacy Policy or breach by us of our duties under applicable laws, we will not be legally responsible to you for any loss that you may suffer if a third party gains unauthorised access to any information that you give us. To avoid a third party gaining unauthorised access to any information that you provide to us, we recommend that you install appropriate anti-virus software on your computer or mobile device.

  9. YOUR RIGHTS IF THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH A PRODUCT

    1. Your statutory rights. We are under a legal duty to supply products that are in conformity with your contract with us. The box below summarises your key legal rights in that respect.

       

      The Consumer Rights Act 2015 says that goods supplied to consumers for a price must be as described, fit for purpose and of satisfactory quality. During the expected lifespan of the goods, your legal rights entitle you to the following:

      • up to 30 days: if your goods are faulty, then you can get an immediate refund;

      • up to six months: if your goods can’t be repaired or replaced, then you’re entitled to a full refund, in most cases; and

      • up to six years: if your goods do not last a reasonable length of time, you may be entitled to some money back.


      If goods are of a kind that can reasonably be expected to perish after a shorter period, then the time limit for exercising your right to reject the goods ends at the end of that shorter period.


      Please note that most of the products we supply are perishable, with an average lifespan of 3 to 5 days. However, some of our products are expected to last longer, and your consumer rights could apply to them.


      The Consumer Rights Act 2015 says that the following rights apply to services supplied to consumers for a price:

      • you can ask us to repeat or fix a service if it's not carried out with reasonable care and skill, or get some money back if we can't fix it;

      • if you haven't agreed a price beforehand, what you're asked to pay must be reasonable; and

      • if you haven't agreed a time beforehand, it must be carried out within a reasonable time.


      This is a summary of some of your key rights. These rights are subject to certain exceptions. For detailed information from Citizens Advice please visit https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/  or call 03454 04 05 06.

       

      Nothing in these Terms affects your legal rights under the Act. You may also have other rights in law.

    2. Products may vary slightly from their pictures. The images of the products in our Shop on our Website or App 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 product may vary slightly from those images.

    3. Product packaging may vary. The packaging of the goods may be different from that shown in our Shop on our Website or App.

    4. Discounted goods. Any goods sold: at discount prices; as remnants; or as substandard, will be identified and sold as such. Please check that they are of a satisfactory quality for their intended use.

    5. If there is a problem with the product. If you have any questions or complaints about the goods, please contact us using one of the contact methods set out in clause 1.2 (How to contact us). This includes, if you want:

      1. us to replace the goods;
      2. a price reduction; or
      3. to reject the goods and get a refund.

        4. If you wish to exercise the above rights, we may ask you to provide evidence that the goods do not meet the legal requirements (see clause 9.1 (Your statutory rights)).

    6. Your obligation to return rejected products. If you inform us that you wish to exercise your legal rights to reject goods (see clause 9.5 above), you must make them available for collection by us on the next delivery day in your area, as instructed by us, unless we inform you that it is not necessary on the occasion.

    7. Fair wear and tear. Your rights under this clause 9 do not apply to faults, which result from fair wear and tear.

    8. Refunds. When you exercise your right to reject the goods and get a refund, and we agree that you are entitled to a refund, we will reimburse the total price you paid for the product including (where applicable) recurring weekly charges. When you exercise your right to price reduction, we will refund to you the difference between the price you paid for the product and the reduced price.

    9. Deductions from refunds. Where a product is reasonably expected to last more than six months, and you reject that product after the first six months after delivery, we may reduce the refund amount by a deduction for use, to take account of the use you have had of the goods in the period since they were delivered.

    10. How we will make the refund. We will make the reimbursement using the same method of payment you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of the reimbursement.

    11. When we will make the refund. We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than within 14 days beginning with the day on which we agree that you are entitled to a refund.

  • OTHER IMPORTANT TERMS

    3. If a court finds part of these Terms illegal, the rest will continue in force. Each of the paragraphs of these Terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful or unenforceable, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.

    4. Even if we delay in enforcing this contract, we can still enforce it later. If we fail to insist that you perform any of your obligations under these Terms, or if we do not enforce our rights against you, or if we delay in doing so, that will not mean that we have waived our rights against you and will not mean that you do not have to comply with those obligations.

If you live in Northern Ireland, you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the products in either the Northern Irish or the English courts.
