You acknowledge that you have not relied on any statement, promise, representation, assurance or warranty made or given by or on behalf of us which is not set out in these terms and that you shall have no claim for innocent or negligent misrepresentation or negligent misstatement based on any statement in this agreement.

INFORMATION ABOUT US AND HOW TO CONTACT US

How we may contact you. If we have to contact you we will do so by telephone or by writing to you at the email address or postal address you provided to us in your order.
We are regulated. The domestic pet food we produce is regulated by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs and Trading Standards (and its executive agency Animal and Plant Health Agency).
“Writing” includes emails. When we use the words “writing” or “written” in these terms, this includes emails.
Conditions of making an order. In order to contract with us you must be over 18 years of age. When placing an order you must ensure that all details you provide to us are true and accurate, that you are an authorised user of the credit or debit card you use to place your order, and that there are sufficient funds to cover the cost of the goods.
How we will accept your order. After you have submitted your order on-line or we have received your order by phone or email, we will send you an email confirming that your order has been received once payment has been processed (Confirmation Email). This does not mean that we have accepted your order. Our acceptance of your order will take place when we email you stating that we have accepted your order, at which point a contract will come into existence between you and us (Order Confirmation Email).
If we cannot accept your order. If we are unable to accept your order, we will inform you of this in writing and will not charge you for the goods. This might be because the goods are out of stock, because of unexpected limits on our resources which we could not reasonably plan for, because we have identified an error in the price or description of the goods or because we are unable to meet a delivery deadline you have specified.
Your order number. We will assign an order number to your order and tell you what it is when we accept your order. It will help us if you can tell us the order number whenever you contact us about your order.
We only sell perishable goods in the UK Our website is solely for the promotion of our perishable products in the UK. Unfortunately, we do not accept orders for the raw products from addresses outside the UK.
Dried goods can be dispatched outside the UK. This relates to our Cold Pressed products and treats.
Goods may vary slightly from their pictures. The images of the goods on our website 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 goods. Your goods may vary slightly from those images.
Goods packaging may vary. The packaging of the goods may vary from that shown in images on our website.
If you wish to make a change to the goods you have ordered please contact us as soon as possible after receiving your Confirmation Email and in any event, before the goods are dispatched. We will let you know if the change is possible. If it is possible we will let you know about any changes to the price of the goods, the timing of supply or anything else which would be necessary as a result of your requested change and ask you to confirm whether you wish to go ahead with the change.
Changes to the goods. We may make changes to the goods available on our website and their contents:
to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements, for example, to comply with health & safety and hygiene requirements; and/or
to implement minor adjustments and/or improvements from time to time.
These changes will not affect the main characteristics of the goods. If we want to make changes that do affect the main characteristics of the goods, we will notify you and you may end the contract between us, and receive a refund for any products paid for but not received. See below.
Delivery costs. The options and cost for delivering your order will be displayed on the “Cart totals” screen once you have placed the goods into the “Cart” on our website. Alternatively, if you are placing your order over the phone, we will confirm the delivery options and costs on the call with you, or if you are placing your order by email, we will set out the delivery costs and options in an email to you. You must select your chosen option before submitting your order. Delivery costs are payable in addition to the price of our goods. The delivery option you selected will be confirmed in your Order Confirmation Email.
Delivery.
Some of our goods are perishable and therefore delivery of those goods is time sensitive. We will deliver the goods to you as soon as reasonably possible and in any event within 30 days after the day on which we accept your order, unless you select an alternative delivery option or make alternative arrangements with our Courier (see below).
During the order process we will let you know:
an estimated delivery date of when the goods will be delivered to you, depending on the delivery method you have chosen and what you arrange with the Courier; or
when the goods will be available for collection from us at: Hug Pet Food, Number 3, Garden Trading Estate, Devizes, Wiltshire, SN10 2HW.
If you are a business customer, you acknowledge and accept that delivery times are estimates only and time of delivery is not of the essence.
When you choose to have your order delivered. We engage a third-party courier service to deliver our goods to you (the Courier). Once you have received a Confirmation Email from us, the Courier will contact you directly by email and text to arrange delivery. At this point you should provide all necessary delivery instructions to the Courier, to avoid any delay in the goods being delivered to you.
We are not responsible for delays outside our control. If our supply of the goods is delayed by an event outside our control then 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.

immediately on delivery or in any event, within 12 hours of delivery to check that the packaging is still sealed; and when you open the delivery immediately place product in the freezer.
Please see clause below if you are a consumer or if you are a business customer for details about your short term right to reject any faulty frozen goods,. Please also see below about our requirement for you to take photos of any faulty goods within 24 hours from delivery, which applies to both consumers and business customers.
If you are not at home when the goods are delivered.
Non-frozen and non-perishable goods. If no one is available at your address to take delivery from the Courier the courier will leave in your chosen safe place as per your instruction.
Frozen goods. Certain goods are required to be kept frozen and should be put in a freezer immediately after delivery. Any frozen goods will be clearly marked as such on our website and on the packaging. When ordering frozen goods, you must ensure that you have given instructions for the Courier to leave the goods in an allocated safe place if you are not available to accept the order.
When you become responsible for the goods. The goods will be your responsibility from the time the Courier collects from to deliver to you or when you collect the goods from us (whichever is applicable).

What will happen if you do not give required information to us. We may need certain information from you so that we can supply the goods to you, for example, your name, delivery address, leave safe instruction, telephone number, email address and details relating to your payment method. We will contact you to ask for this information if any of it is outstanding from your order. If you do not give us this information within a reasonable time of us asking for it, or if you give us incomplete or incorrect information, we may either end the contract (and clause 10.2 will apply) or make an additional charge of a reasonable sum to compensate us for any extra work that is required as a result. We will not be responsible for supplying the goods 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.
Reasons we may suspend the supply of goods to you. We may have to suspend the supply of the goods to:
comply with any investigation, batch testing requirement or ruling/recommendation to permanently or temporarily suspend or recall the goods by a relevant regulatory body;
deal with technical problems or make minor technical changes;
update the goods to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements; and/or
make changes to the type or number of goods in your order as requested by you or notified by us to you (above).
Your rights if we suspend the supply of goods. Where possible, we will contact you in advance to tell you we will be suspending supply of the goods, unless the problem is urgent or an emergency.
We may also suspend supply of the goods if you do not pay. If you do not pay us for the goods when you are supposed to (see below) and you still do not make payment within 2 days of us reminding you that payment is due, we may suspend supply of the goods until you have paid us the outstanding amounts. We will contact you to tell you we are suspending supply of the goods. We will not suspend the goods where you dispute the unpaid invoice (see below). We will not charge you for the goods during the period for which they are suspended. As well as suspending the goods, we can also charge you interest on your overdue payments (see below).
YOUR RIGHTS TO END THE CONTRACT
You can always end your contract with us. Your rights when you end the contract will depend on what you have bought, whether there is anything wrong with it, how we are performing, when you decide to end the contract and whether you are a consumer or business customer:
If what you have bought is faulty or misdescribed you may have a legal right to end the contract (or to get the goods replaced or to get some or all of your money back), see below if you are a consumer or if you are a business;
If you want to end the contract because of something we have done or have told you we are going to do, see below;
If you are a consumer and have just changed your mind about the goods, see below. You may be able to get a refund if you are within the cooling-off period, but this may be subject to deductions and you will have to pay the costs of return of any goods;
In all other cases (if we are not at fault and you are not a consumer exercising your right to change your mind), see below.
Ending the contract because of something we have done or are going to do. If you are ending a contract for a reason set out below, the contract will end immediately and we will refund you in full for any goods which have not been provided and you may also be entitled to compensation. The reasons are:
we have notified you about a change to the goods which you do not agree to (see below);
we have told you about an error in the price or description of the goods you have ordered and you do not wish to proceed;
there is a risk that supply of the goods may be significantly delayed because of events outside our control;
we have suspended supply of the goods for health & safety, hygiene or regulatory reasons, or notify you we are going to suspend them for such reasons, in each case for a period of more than 30 days; or
you have a legal right to end the contract because of something we have done wrong.
Exercising your right to change your mind if you are a consumer (Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013) (CCR 2013). If you are a consumer then for most goods bought online you have a legal right to change your mind within 14 days and receive a refund (the cancellation period). The cancellation period is different depending on your order:
you have 14 days after the day you receive the goods, unless:
the goods you have ordered are perishable. In this case see below
your goods are split into several deliveries over different days. In this case you have until 14 days after the day you (or someone you nominate) receives the last delivery.
your goods are for regular delivery over a set period. In this case you have until 14 days after the day you (or someone you nominate) receives the first delivery of the goods
When consumers do not have a right to change their minds. Your right as a consumer to change your mind does not apply in respect of:
goods that are liable to deteriorate or expire rapidly (which includes our frozen goods which are perishable);
products, goods and packing sealed for health protection or hygiene purposes, once these have been unsealed after you receive them; and
any goods which become mixed inseparably with other items after their delivery.
Ending the contract where we are not at fault and there is no right to change your mind. Even if we are not at fault and you are not a consumer who has a right to change their mind (see above), you can still end the contract before it is completed, but you may have to pay us compensation. A contract for goods is completed when the goods are delivered and paid for. If you want to end a contract before it is completed where we are not at fault and you are not a consumer who has changed their mind, just contact us to let us know. The contract will end immediately and we will refund any sums paid by you for goods not provided but we may deduct from that refund (or, if you have not made an advance payment, charge you) reasonable compensation for the net costs we will incur as a result of your ending the contract.

In all other circumstances (including where you are a consumer exercising your right to change your mind) you must pay the costs of return.
What we charge for collection. If you request that we collect the goods from you, we will charge you the direct cost to us of collection.
How we will refund you. If you are entitled to a refund under these terms we will refund you the price you paid for the goods including delivery costs, by the method you used for payment. However, we may make deductions from the price, as described below.
When we may make deduction from refunds if you are a consumer exercising your right to change your mind. If you are exercising your right to change your mind:
We may reduce your refund of the price (excluding delivery costs) to reflect any reduction in the value of the goods, if this has been caused by your handling them 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.
The maximum refund for delivery costs will be the costs of delivery by the least expensive delivery method we offer. For example, if we offer delivery options for goods by Royal Mail second class post at one cost but you choose to have the goods delivered by express courier within 24 hours at a higher cost, then we will only refund what you would have paid for the cheaper delivery option.
When your refund will be made. We will make any refunds due to you as soon as possible. If you are a consumer exercising your right to change your mind then your refund will be made within 14 days from the day on which we receive the goods back from you or, if earlier, the day on which you provide us with evidence that you have sent the goods back to us.

IF THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE GOODS
If you have any questions or complaints about the goods, please contact us. You can telephone our Customer Care team at 01380 710533 or write to us at hello@hugpetfood.host100.co.uk or to our address Hug Pet Food, Number 3, Garden Trading Estate, Devizes, Wiltshire SN10 2HW.

Any timescale we might give you for resolving a complaint will only be an estimate as each case will we dealt with independently on the basis of its own facts.

YOUR RIGHTS IN RESPECT OF DEFECTIVE GOODS IF YOU ARE A BUSINESS
If you are a business customer we warrant that:
we have complied with all applicable laws and regulations in connection with the production of domestic pet food by us and
on delivery of goods produced by us, they shall be fit for any purpose held out by us on our website.
Subject to goods being damaged by the Courier in transit (below) if:
you give us notice in writing within 24 hours of delivery that the goods do not comply with the warranty set out above;
you comply with the requirement to provide us photographic evidence in of the goods in accordance with below;

on receipt of the goods we are given a reasonable opportunity to examine the goods and the photographic evidence you have provided to assess the alleged defect,
we shall, at our option, replace the defective goods, or refund the price of the defective goods in full.
We will not be liable for goods failure to comply with the warranty above if:
the goods have been damaged by the Courier in transit
you make any further use of such goods after giving a notice in accordance with above;
the defect arises because your chosen delivery location was unsuitable;
the defect arises because you failed to follow our oral or written instructions as to the storage, temperature requirements, use, application, cooking, maintenance or hygiene instructions in relation to the goods;
you alter or repair the goods without our knowledge or written consent; or
the defect arises as a result of fair wear and tear, wilful damage, negligence, or abnormal working or storage conditions.
Except as provided in this clause, we shall have no liability to you in respect of any goods failure to comply with the warranty set out above.
These terms shall apply to any replacement goods supplied by us as above.
Where to find the price for the goods. The price of the goods (which includes VAT) will be the price indicated on our website. The price of the goods shall be confirmed on the “Cart” page on our website, on the phone call or via email before you place your order, as well as in the Acceptance Email. We take all reasonable care to ensure that the price of the goods set out on the website is correct. However, please see clause 14.3 for what happens if we discover an error in the price of the goods you order.
VAT.
All of our goods are priced in GBP Sterling (£) and your order will include VAT at the appropriate local rate. Excluding the VAT included in the price, any duties or local taxes are payable by you at the appropriate local rate.
Orders from individuals in non-EU countries are tax deductible. Sales to VAT-registered businesses and organisations within the EU will not be charged VAT provided that VAT registration numbers and business details accompany every order.
We will pass on changes in the rate of VAT. If the rate of VAT changes between your order date and the date we supply the goods, we will adjust the rate of VAT that you pay, unless you have already paid for the goods in full before the change in the rate of VAT takes effect.
What happens if we got the price wrong. It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the goods we sell may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices before accepting your order so that, where the goods correct price at your order date is less than our stated price at your order date, we will charge the lower amount. If the goods 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 and give you the option of reconfirming your order at the correct price or to cancel it. If we are unable to contact you we will treat the order as cancelled. If you cancel and you have already paid for the goods, you will receive a full refund.
When you must pay and how you must pay. We accept payment for goods by:
cash on collection or delivery (in GBP Sterling (£)); or
by debit or credit card (VISA, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Maestro and MasterCard).
We will not charge your credit or debit card until we start preparing the goods for dispatch to you. If you choose the option to pay by “cash on delivery” then you will be not be given physical possession of the goods, and title to the goods shall not pass, until you have made payment in full.
Our right of set-off if you are a business customer. If you are a business customer you must pay all amounts due to us under these terms in full without any set-off, counterclaim, deduction or withholding (other than any deduction or withholding of tax as required by law).
We can charge interest if you pay late. f you do not make any payment to us by the due date we may charge interest to you on the overdue amount at the rate of 4% a year above the base lending rate of the Bank of England from time to time. This interest shall accrue on a daily basis from the due date until the date of actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgment. You must pay us interest together with any overdue amount.
What to do if you think an invoice is wrong. If you think an invoice or Confirmation Email is wrong please contact us promptly to let us know. You will not have to pay any interest that may have accrued under until the dispute is resolved. Once the dispute is resolved we will charge you interest on correctly invoiced sums from the original due date.

We may transfer this agreement to someone else. We may transfer our rights and obligations under these terms to another organisation. We will always tell you in writing if this happens and we will ensure that the transfer will not affect your rights under the contract.
You need our consent to transfer your rights to someone else (except that you can always transfer our guarantee). You may only transfer your rights or your obligations under these terms to another person if we agree to this in writing. We retain the right to refuse to transfer your rights to another person if the transfer would be unreasonably costly for us to do complete, or is not possible due to the goods being of a perishable nature. Before agreeing to a transfer we may require the person to whom rights are transferred to provide reasonable evidence that they are now the owner of the relevant item or property.
Nobody else has any rights under this contract (except someone you pass your guarantee on to). This contract is between you and us. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms. Neither of us will need to get the agreement of any other person in order to end the contract or make any changes to these terms.
If a court finds part of this contract illegal, the rest will continue in force. Each of the clause in these terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining clauses will remain in full force and effect.
Even if we delay in enforcing this contract, we can still enforce it later. If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking this contract, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date. For example, if you miss a payment and we do not chase you but we continue to provide the goods, we can still require you to make the payment at a later date.
Which laws apply to this contract and where you may bring legal proceedings if you are a consumer. These terms are governed by English law and you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the goods in the English courts. If you live in Scotland you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the goods in either the Scottish or the English courts. If you live in Northern Ireland you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the goods in either the Northern Irish or the English courts.
Alternative dispute resolution if you are a consumer. Alternative dispute resolution is a process where an independent body considers the facts of a dispute and seeks to resolve it, without you having to go to court. If you are a consumer and are not happy with how we have handled any complaint, you may want to contact the alternative dispute resolution provider we use. You can submit a complaint to Trading Standards via their website. In addition, please note that during the transition period, before the UK formally exits the EU, disputes may be submitted for online resolution to the European Commission Online Dispute Resolution platform accessible via: https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/main/index.cfm?event=main.home.chooseLanguage
Which laws apply to this contract and where you may bring legal proceedings if you are a business. If you are a business, any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with a contract between us or its subject matter or formation (including non-contractual disputes or claims) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of England and Wales and the courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any such dispute or claim.
