If you have ordered alcohol from us and cannot be at home at your selected delivery time, it is your responsibility to ensure that a suitable person aged eighteen or older is there to receive the order. We reserve the right to refuse handing over any alcoholic products if we suspect you are not eighteen years of age.
6.2 You may submit orders for Products by using our online ordering facility on the Website. The facility and our communications to you in relation to any order or contract will be in the English language. The facility allows you to review your order and make any corrections before submitting it to us and by submitting the order you confirm that you have made any such corrections.
6.3 Each Product for which you click 'Add to basket' is added to a Shopping Basket facility. You are given the opportunity to review and amend the contents of the Shopping Basket, including removing items added to the Shopping Basket and amending quantities for each item in the Shopping Basket.
6.4 You will only be able to proceed to checkout (by clicking ‘Proceed to Checkout’ on the Shopping Basket page) once you have: (a) selected whether you want to collect from delicatezza or receive a delivery, (b) successfully checked that we deliver to your postcode, (c) selected a fulfilment date and time, (d) selected a delivery service and (e) removed any products not available for delivery by the selected delivery service.
6.5 After you have clicked 'Proceed to Checkout', but before you have paid for your purchase, the Website still allows you to review all the Products that you have already ordered from us and return to the store where you can make further amendments to the Shopping Basket.
6.6 No order is accepted from you until our Website displays an order confirmation message. This message is displayed after you complete payment
6.7 Your payment 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 subject to clause 6.15 below.
6.8 If you place an order by telephone, your order will be accepted (or rejected, as the case may be) verbally by our staff. A contract for our sale of Products to you arises on our acceptance of your order.
6.9 All orders will also be confirmed to you by email.
6.10 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 for a small subset of Products we do not always know if they will be available at the time of accepting an order. If we are unable to deliver an item you have ordered, we will contact you and may offer a reasonable substitute. You may reject that substitute, and you will not be charged for it. If we do not offer a substitute or you reject our substitute, we will remove the both the original Product and the substitute from your order so that you are not charged for them. We will, however, bear no liability for unavailability of Products.

6.12 All Products offered by us are subject to seasonal changes in supply levels and supply prices.
6.13 Some of our Products are priced by weight but only hand prepared once after we accept your order (for example, some cheese Products are hand-cut). Where this is the case, we will endeavour to provide the Product as close to the ordered weight as possible. Because these Products are hand prepared, the weight you receive may vary from the weight displayed on the Website at the time of the completion of your purchase. If the weight of the Product delivered to you exceeds the displayed weight, we will not charge you more for the additional weight. If the weight of the delivered Product is below the displayed weight, we will refund you the value of the price difference between the paid for weight and the actual weight. Where a product falls under this category of hand prepared products, we will prominently display relevant information on the Product page.
6.14 Some of our Products (for example, some cheese Products) are not prepared by hand or priced by weight, but will have weight variations between like Products. This is how delicatezza receives the Products from our third party suppliers. For these Products we will display an average weight on the Product pages. The weight you receive may vary from the weight displayed on the Website at the time of the completion of your purchase. If the weight of the Product delivered to you exceeds the displayed weight, we will not charge you more for the additional weight. If the weight of the delivered Product is below the displayed weight, we will refund you the value of the price difference between the paid for weight and the actual weight.
6.15 We will fulfil (deliver) an order to you (subject to clause 6.10) unless we receive from you a cancellation of your entire order that we are able to meet. You remain responsible for ensuring that any such cancellation is not only transmitted by you, but received by us. We reserve the right to deliver and charge in full for any order where we cannot meet the cancellation request. Any payments you have made for orders which have been properly cancelled will be re-credited to you. Despite the foregoing, if you are a consumer, then you may also cancel the order in accordance with clause 10.3 below insofar as the order is for non-perishable Products or contains non-perishable Products.
6.16 Despite the above provision, 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 fraudulently used, then you should approach your card issuer for re-credit to your card.
6.17 For our retail customers, you warrant that you shall not re-sell any of the Products purchased from delicatezza. For our wholesale customer this warrant is waived.
6.18 For our retail customers, all prices for Products are inclusive of any applicable VAT at the applicable current rate chargeable in the UK. For our wholesale customers, prices are displayed both inclusive and net of VAT where VAT is applicable to a product.
6.19 The prices of our Products do not include delivery fees. Delivery fees will be added automatically, where applicable, during checkout depending on the value of the items in your basket, the delivery location, and the delivery service selected by you.
6.20 The images of the Products on our site are for illustrative purposes only, although we have made every effort to display the products accurately. Your Products may vary slightly from those images.

You will be able to track, rearrange and provide additional instructions directly with our courier. If your order includes chilled products, it is your responsibility to be at the designated delivery address on the date and time of delivery. Delicatezza will not be responsible for the condition of chilled products due to unsuccessful deliveries because you are not at the designated delivery address on the day of delivery.
