Where the removal of a product reduces your spend in a particular product category below a given minimum spend threshold (as per 4.2) then we reserve the right not to deliver all products within that product category. Where the minimum order value is not met we reserve the right not to deliver your entire order. Such refusals will be credited in full, however, we will bear no liability for such refusals.

No order placed online is accepted from us until you have received an email confirming your delivery day.

While we will endeavour to deliver all accepted orders, some may fit outside our free delivery zone or may not be suitable under certain circumstances. If payment has already gone through via card payment for an order we can’t deliver, we will refund the amount in full. We will bear no liability for the unavailability to deliver to an address.

All of the products that we offer are subject to variations in seasonal availability and supply price. Hence, when you set up a regular (repeat) order for a product or products the price of those items will change over time from when you first ordered them. You accept that the price to be paid for all items in your order will be that stated on the website at the time of the order submission as per 4.3.

Where an item has been displayed on our website with an incorrect, erroneous price we reserve the right to remove that item from your order, amend the price to one that is correct or to not deliver the item and refund the price paid.

All prices displayed on the website are inclusive of any applicable taxes and duty (including VAT).

You are entitled to cancel payment for products where there has been fraudulent use of your payment card (despite the above provisions). Where a fraudulent payment has already been made then you should contact your card issuer for credit back to your card.

We only sell to consumers and you must not resell any products ordered from us.

27. DELIVERY AND DELIVERY INSTRUCTIONS

We will deliver to the address stated in your Helen’s Bay Organic account (herein also referred to as “home”).

We reserve the right not to deliver to all locations, or not to deliver all products to all locations. You will be notified during the account creation process if we are unable to deliver to your address. Where we are unable to deliver certain products to your address we will make them unavailable for you to order (both on the website or via the telephone).

It is your responsibility to make suitable arrangements to receive your delivery. The delivery notes section of your account is important as it allows you to leave instructions of a suitable location where your delivery can be left if you are not at home to take receipt of the goods, which forms part of our contract under these terms and conditions. It is important that you provide a suitable means (at your own cost) to keep any goods we deliver that need to be refrigerated at a temperature below 8oC until such a time as you are able to refrigerate them.

Once your delivery instructions have been followed and completed by us, you will accept that you are in possession of the delivered goods. Where the delivery instructions have been followed; we will not accept any liability for damage to, or theft of your goods, nor will we accept any liability for any incidents which may arise as a result of the theft or damage to such goods.

In order to maximise efficiency and reduce food miles your order will be delivered on a set day of the week. We will aim to keep this day fixed, however, we reserve the right to change it (either temporarily or permanently) and we will notify you of any such changes.

The time that your order is delivered on that day will vary week on week depending on traffic, weather and the number of deliveries to be made that day. If ordering regularly, you may notice that your delivery occurs at a similar time each week, however, we make no guarantee of this time and accept no liability for inconvenience or loss as a result of a deviation from it.

We cannot accept liability for any inconvenience or loss where we are unable to deliver to you, or deliver to you late for reasons beyond our control (e.g. adverse weather, vehicle breakdown, traffic congestion, strike actions, supplier failures). We will of course refund you for any part of your order which is not delivered or which has been compromised as a result of the delay.

To minimise our carbon footprint Helen’s Bay Organic reserves the right not to provide a printed receipt with your delivery. Your delivered goods and their value can be viewed online via your Helen’s Bay Organic account.

You must inspect your goods as swiftly as possible after delivery and notify us promptly of any errors. We will refund you for any products you receive that were not ordered, are faulty or that were delivered without us following these terms and conditions. However, such liability will be limited to the value of the erroneous and / or undelivered goods.

28. CANCELLATION

You may cancel your account with us at any time either online or by notifying us in writing, over the phone or by email.

30. ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY

A. Aggressive or abusive behaviour

We understand that people can become angry when they feel that matters about which they feel strongly are not being dealt with as they wish. If that anger escalates into aggression towards our staff, we consider that unacceptable.

Any aggression or abuse directed towards our staff will not be tolerated.

Aggressive or abusive behaviour includes language (whether verbal or written) that may cause staff to feel afraid, threatened or abused and may include threats, personal verbal abuse, derogatory remarks and rudeness. The use of swear words in written or verbal communication will not be tolerated and these communications will not be responded to. Swearing at members of staff will not be tolerated and could result in account & service suspension.
We also consider inflammatory statements, remarks of a racial or discriminatory nature and unsubstantiated allegations, to be abusive behaviour.

B. Unreasonable demands
A demand becomes unacceptable when it starts to, or when complying with the demand would, impact excessively on the work of our staff. Or when dealing with the matter takes up an excessive amount of staff time and in so doing, disadvantages other members of the public.

For example:

i. Repeatedly demanding responses within an unreasonable timescale

ii. Demanding responses from several members of staff on the same subject;

iii. Insisting on seeing or speaking to a particular member of staff when that is not possible;

iv. Repeatedly changing the substance of an enquiry or complaint or raising unrelated concerns;

v. Repeatedly posing a question time and again, when a response has already been given, because the individual may not like the answer they have received.

C. Unreasonable levels of contact

Sometimes the volume and duration of contact made to our staff by an individual causes problems.

This can occur over a short period, for example, when a large number of calls or emails are received from the same person in one day.

i. When we are dealing with a complaint or enquiry, this may occur when a person repeatedly makes long telephone calls to us or;

ii. Inundates us with emails or;

iii. Copies of information that have been already sent or that are irrelevant to the substance of the complaint or enquiry.

iv. Changes account details unreasonably as a provocation or abuse. In particular changing details to fake information.

v. Abuses staff at the Farm or during deliveries.

We consider that the level of contact has become unacceptable when the amount of time spent talking to an individual on the telephone, or responding to, reviewing and filing emails or written correspondence, impacts on our ability to deal with the matter, or on our responsibility for carrying out tasks relating to other constituents.

D. How we manage abusive or aggressive behaviour:

Any member of staff who directly experiences aggressive or abusive behaviour from a constituent or member of the public, has the authority to deal immediately with that behaviour in a manner they consider appropriate to the situation and which is in line with this policy.

Staff will end telephone calls or email discussions if they consider the caller aggressive, abusive or offensive. Our staff have the right to make this decision, to tell the customer that their behaviour is unacceptable and to end communication if the behaviour then persists.

If behaviour persists in future correspondence, we will tell the person in writing that we will not permit any further contact from them.

How we deal with other categories of unreasonable behaviour

Where a member of the public repeatedly phones, visits our farm, raises the same issue repeatedly, or sends us large numbers of documents or emails about which the relevance is not clear, we may decide to:

• Limit contact from the person at set times on set days;

• Restrict contact to a nominated member of staff who will deal with future calls or correspondence;

• See the person by appointment only;

• Restrict contact to written correspondence only;

• Refuse to deal with further correspondence and return any documents or, in extreme cases;

• Advise the person that further irrelevant documentation will be destroyed;

• Take any other action that we consider appropriate to the circumstances.

• We have the right to terminate the customer’s account in any case that there is abuse to staff or the service.

Where we consider continued correspondence on a wide range of issues to be excessive, we may tell the person that only a certain number of issues will be considered in a given period and ask them to limit or focus their requests accordingly.

Where someone repeatedly demands a response on an issue on which they have already been a given a clear answer, we may refuse to respond to further enquiries from the person.

We will always tell the person by email the action we are taking and the reasons why.
