It is your responsibility to ensure that you have read and understood the current version of these Terms and the Terms of Supply.  Continuing to use a customer account after the Terms have been amended constitutes acceptance of the amended Terms.

In our absolute discretion we may decline a request to register a customer account, or to trade with, or accept an order from, any customer or prospective customer, without giving any reason for doing so.  Without limitation to the generality of the foregoing, this may be because the business model, practices, ethos, or activities of such customer or prospective customer conflict with our core principles and aims, or because the customer is a Community Buying Group which is in our sole opinion situated too close to an existing retail customer.

            2.1	Our contract. These terms and conditions (Terms) apply to each order placed by you and supply of goods to you by us (Contract). No other terms are implied by trade, custom, practice or course of dealing.
            2.2	Entire agreement. The Contract is the entire agreement between us in relation to its subject matter, save that where delivery is to take place outside the UK we and you may agree that certain of the Incoterms® 2020 Rules of the International Chamber of Commerce may apply to your order. You acknowledge that you have not relied on any statement, promise or representation or assurance or warranty that is not set out in the Contract and that you shall have no claim for innocent or negligent misrepresentation or negligent misstatement based on any statement in these Terms.
            2.3	Language. These Terms and the Contract are made only in the English language.

            3.	Placing an order and its acceptance

            3.1	Placing your order. Each order which you place shall constitute an enquiry regarding purchase of the goods specified in the order.
            3.2	Correcting input errors. Our online order process allows you to check and amend any errors before submitting your order to us. Please check the order carefully before confirming it. You are responsible for ensuring that your order is complete and accurate.
            3.3	Offer and acceptance. Having considered what we will be able to supply to you, we will shortly prior to the designated delivery day allocated to you make a formal offer - via our shipping note or other correspondence - to supply to you some or all of the goods specified in your order (Goods) subject to these Terms. Upon your acceptance of our offer (which may be made by your taking delivery of the Goods), the Contract between you and us will come into existence.
            3.4	Last order time.  All orders must be received by no later than 11.00 a.m. on the working day before the designated delivery day allocated to you.
            3.5	Priority service.  If you place an order by 5.00 p.m. 2 working days before a designated delivery day allocated to you, we will endeavour (but shall not be obliged) to contact you to inform you of stock shortages and out of stock items, and to discuss possible substitutions with you.
            3.6	Quantity restrictions.  In our absolute discretion we may limit the quantity of any product or products that any one customer may order.
            3.7	Minimum order values.  We will generally refuse an order which does not meet the minimum order value applicable to you.  The minimum order values can be found on our website on your Customer Web Portal.

            4.	Our products

            4.1	The images of the Goods on our site are for illustrative purposes only. Although we have made every effort to display the colours accurately, we cannot guarantee that your device's display of the colours accurately reflect the colour of the Goods. The colour of your Goods may vary slightly from those images.
            4.2	Although we have made every effort to be as accurate as possible, all sizes, weights, capacities, dimensions and measurements indicated on our website or in our marketing material have a 2% tolerance.  If the Goods are advertised in quantities which use the words "about", "more or less", or similar words, the quantity delivered will be within 10% of the quantity specified.
            4.3	The packaging of your Goods may vary from that shown on images on our site.
            4.4	For harvested Goods, the quality shall be representative of a fair average of the particular year's crop.
            4.5	Information provided by the producers of the Goods, including branding and marketing content, is not necessarily a reflection of our own ethos, views, and values.

            5.	Delivery, transfer of risk and title

            5.1	You will have been allocated a schedule of designated delivery days when registering with us as a customer.  Assuming that you have met the last order time set out in clause 3.4, we shall endeavour to deliver the Goods on the next designated delivery day after your order is received.  Exceptionally, if you have requested delivery outside of our delivery schedule, we will agree an estimated date of delivery with you during the order process.  We are unable to specify the time of day at which the Goods will be delivered.  Occasionally our delivery to you may be affected by an Event Outside Our Control; see clause 15 (Events outside our control) for our responsibilities when this happens.
            5.2	The time of delivery is not of the essence of the contract.  
            5.3	Often we will make deliveries ourselves, particularly where the delivery address is within England & Wales, but in our sole discretion we may arrange for delivery of the Goods by a third party carrier.
            5.4	We shall deliver to the address recorded on your customer account, unless a different address has been agreed in writing prior to the order being placed.  At your own liability and expense, you shall provide adequate and appropriate equipment and/or labour for receipt of the Goods.
            5.5	We may deliver the Goods by instalments, which shall be invoiced and paid for separately. Each instalment shall constitute a separate contract. Any delay in delivery or defect in an instalment shall not entitle you to cancel any other instalment.
            5.6	At the time of delivery or collection, you or your representative must thoroughly check the goods delivered to ensure that they match the Goods contracted for and, if everything is in order, provide us with proof of receipt in such form as we may reasonably request.  The following will be deemed proof of receipt of order: electronic or physical signature from you or your representative, or a photograph of the Goods on your premises.
            5.7	If for any reason you are unavailable to take receipt of the delivery, or if we are unable to effect delivery owing to your failure to provide us with adequate and accurate delivery or access instructions or contact details, you will incur a non-delivery fee of £50 + VAT.  We shall endeavour to contact you to arrange a date for re-delivery.  If, despite our reasonable efforts, we are unable to contact you or re-arrange delivery or collection we may end the Contract. We shall not be liable for supplying the Goods late or not supplying any part of them if this is caused by your not giving us the information we need within a reasonable time of our asking for it.
            5.8	If in exceptional circumstances you are unable to be present to accept and sign for the Goods on delivery, we may, in our absolute discretion, agree to leave the Goods unattended in a designated place.  If we make such an arrangement with you, we shall not accept any returns or claims for credit or refunds, and the Goods are left entirely at your own risk.  We will not agree to leave refrigerated or frozen goods unattended unless the delivery driver will be able to access suitable chilled storage.
            5.9	If you have asked to collect the Goods from our premises and we in our sole discretion have agreed to this, you may collect them from our warehouse when it is open: opening hours may vary but will be available on our website www.essential-trading.coop.  In collecting the Goods you shall abide by any conditions specified by us, including but not limited to any reasonable measures relating to health & safety.
            5.10	Delivery is complete once the Goods have been unloaded at the address for delivery set out in your order, or collected by you (or a carrier organised by you to collect them from us), and the Goods will be at your risk from that time.
            5.11	Title to the Goods shall not pass to you until we receive payment in full (in cash or cleared funds) for the Goods.
            5.12	Until title to the Goods has passed to you, you shall: 
            5.12.1	store the Goods separately from all other goods held by you so that they remain readily identifiable as our property; 
            5.12.2	not remove, deface or obscure any identifying mark or packaging on or relating to the Goods; and
            5.12.3	maintain the Goods in the condition in which they were delivered.
            5.13	At any time before title to the Goods passes to you, we may require you to deliver up all Goods in your possession that have not been resold, or irrevocably incorporated into another product, and if you fail to do so promptly, we may enter any of your premises (or the premises of any third party) where the Goods are stored in order to recover them.
            5.14	We may at any time after delivery elect to transfer title in the Goods to you
            5.15	If we fail to deliver the Goods, our liability is limited to the cost of obtaining replacement goods of a similar description and quality in the cheapest market available, less the price of the Goods. However, we will not be liable to the extent that any failure to deliver was caused by an Event Outside Our Control, or because you failed to provide adequate delivery instructions or any other instructions that are relevant to the supply of goods.

            6.	International delivery

            6.1	If you order Goods for delivery to countries outside the United Kingdom, your order may be subject to import duties and taxes which are applied when the delivery reaches that destination.  Please note that we have no control over these charges and we cannot predict their amount.
            6.2	You will be responsible for payment of any such import duties and taxes. Please contact your local customs office for further information before placing your order.
            6.3	You must comply with all applicable laws and regulations of the country for which the Goods are destined. We will not be liable or responsible if you break any such law.
            6.4	International delivery will be governed by such of the Incoterms® 2020 Rules of the International Chamber of Commerce as may be agreed between you and us at the time the order is placed.

            7.	Price of goods and delivery charges

            7.1	The prices of the Goods will be as quoted in our formal offer to sell you the Goods (prices on our website, in our printed catalogues or elsewhere may have been superseded). 
            7.2	We may, by giving you notice at any time before delivery, increase the price of the Goods to reflect any increase in the cost of the Goods that is due to:
            7.2.1	any factor beyond our control (including without limitation foreign exchange fluctuations, increases in taxes, levies, or duties, increases in freight, transport, minimum import price, insurance, landing or warehousing charges, and increases in labour, materials and other manufacturing costs); or
            7.2.2	any request by you to change the delivery date(s), quantities or types of Goods ordered.
            7.3	The price of Goods excludes VAT (where applicable) at the applicable current rate chargeable in the UK for the time being. However, if the rate of VAT changes between the date of your order and the date of delivery, we will adjust the VAT you pay, unless you have already paid for the Goods in full before the change in VAT takes effect.
            7.4	The price of the Goods does not include delivery charges. Often we do not charge for delivery, but we reserve the right to do so.  In those cases where a delivery charge will be applied this will be stated in our formal offer to supply the Goods, and we will not proceed to delivery without your express acceptance of the offer.
            7.5	If we offer you an alternative product to replace an item which is out of stock, we shall not be obliged to match the price of the original product.
            7.6	Promotional prices apply during periods of 2 calendar months' duration (the first such period in the year being January to February, and so on through the year); our paper catalogues are current for the same periods.  Unless a promotion is expressed to be 'while stocks last', a promotion will run from the 1st day of the relevant period until 5.00 p.m. on the last working day of the period, and promotions are applied based on the time and date of your order, not the date of delivery or collection.

            8.	Payment

            8.1	We may invoice you for the Goods on or at any time after the completion of delivery.  You shall pay each invoice submitted by us within 7 days of the date of the invoice (unless otherwise agreed between us in writing) in full and in cleared funds, and time for payment shall be of the essence of the contract.  We request that each invoice be discharged by a single payment.
            8.2	Notwithstanding clause 8.1, we reserve the right to require you to pay in full or in part for the Goods before we despatch them.
            8.3	We accept payment by credit or debit card excluding American Express and Club Card, online payment via our secure web portal, BACS payment, (at our absolute discretion) by establishing a direct debit with us, and (at our absolute discretion) cash.  We will also accept payment by cheque, but ask that this be used only as a method of last resort.  We will make a charge of £10 where a cheque bounces or must be re-presented.
            8.4	All amounts due under the Contract shall be paid in full without any set-off, counterclaim, deduction or withholding (other than any deduction or withholding of tax as required by law).
            8.5	If 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 Lloyds Bank PLC 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.
            8.6	All amounts owed by you to us under this Contract shall become immediately due and payable on termination of this Contract for any reason.
            8.7	If you think an invoice is wrong please contact us promptly to let us know. You will not have to pay any interest until the dispute is resolved. Once the dispute is resolved we will charge you interest on correctly invoiced sums from the original due date.

            9.	Questions and concerns

            9.1	If you have any questions or concerns about the Goods or our service, you should contact our customer care team on 0117 958 3550 or in writing at care@essential-trading.coop or Unit 3, Lodge Causeway Trading Estate, Fishponds, Bristol, BS16 3JB.  We will endeavour to resolve any concerns within a reasonable timeframe.
            9.2	You must not raise concerns via social media or any other public platform or medium.  We reserve the right to take legal action in respect of inaccurate, unfounded, or defamatory statements published online or via any other public platform or medium.

            10.	Our warranty for the Goods

            10.1	We do not warrant that the Goods comply with the laws, regulations or standards outside the UK.
            10.2	We give a warranty that on delivery, the Goods shall, subject to clause 4:
            10.2.1	conform in all material respects with their description; and
            10.2.2	be of satisfactory quality (within the meaning of the Sale of Goods Act 1979)
            provided always that in the case of refrigerated Goods, we warrant that, assuming you store them appropriately, the Goods will remain useable for 7 days after the date on which they are delivered, but no representation or warranty is given in respect of condition or fitness for purpose after that time.
            10.3	Subject to clause 10.4, if:
            10.3.1	you email us at claims@essential-trading.coop (specifying the invoice number(s), your customer code, and the relevant product codes), informing us that some or all of the Goods do not comply with the warranty set out in clause 10.2:
            (a)	in the case of a defect that is apparent on normal visual inspection, within 5 working days of delivery (save that, if the relevant Goods are refrigerated or frozen, you must in addition inform our delivery driver at the point of delivery and return the relevant Goods with them); or
            (b)	in the case of a latent defect, within a reasonable time of the latent defect having become apparent;
            10.3.2	we are given a reasonable opportunity of examining the Goods; and
            10.3.3	should we ask you to do so, you return the Goods to us at our cost,
            we shall, at our option, either replace the defective Goods or refund the price of the defective Goods in full.
            10.4	We will not be liable for breach of the warranty set out in clause 10.2 if:
            10.4.1	you make any further use of the Goods after giving notice to us under clause 10.3;
            10.4.2	the defect arises because you failed to follow our oral or written instructions as to the storage, or use of the product or (if there are none) good trade practice;
            10.4.3	the condition of the Goods is changed by anything you have done, including but not limited to opening, or labelling or otherwise marking the packaging;
            10.4.4	the defect arises as a result of fair wear and tear, wilful damage, negligence, or abnormal storage conditions; or
            10.4.5	the Goods differ from their description or specification as a result of changes made to ensure they comply with applicable statutory or regulatory requirements.
            10.5	We will only be liable to you for the Goods' failure to comply with the warranty set out in clause 10.2 to the extent set out in this clause 10.
            10.6	The terms implied by sections 13 to 15 of the Sale of Goods Act 1979 are, to the fullest extent permitted by law, excluded from the Contract.
            10.7	These Terms also apply to any repaired or replacement Goods supplied by us to you.

            11.	Our liability [your attention is particularly drawn to this clause]

            11.1	References to liability in this clause 11 include every kind of liability arising under or in connection with the Contract including but not limited to liability in contract, tort (including negligence), misrepresentation, restitution or otherwise.
            11.2	Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes our liability for:
            11.2.1	death or personal injury caused by our negligence;
            11.2.2	fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation;
            11.2.3	breach of the terms implied by section 12 of the Sale of Goods Act 1979 (title and quiet possession); or
            11.2.4	any other liability that cannot be limited or excluded by law.
            11.3	Subject to clause 11.2, we will under no circumstances be liable to you for:
            11.3.1	any loss of profits, sales, business, or revenue;
            11.3.2	loss of business opportunity; or
            11.3.3	any indirect or consequential loss.

            12.	Return of Goods which you have ordered in error

            12.1	In our absolute discretion, we may agree to accept the return of Goods ordered by you in error, including but not limited to where you have ordered the wrong quantity of goods.
            12.2	In the event that we agree to accept the return of Goods in such circumstances, we will charge a handling fee of either 15% of the value of the returned Goods or £10, whichever is greater.
            12.3	We will only collect such Goods when delivering subsequent orders to you, and will consider in determining whether to accept such a return whether you intend to place a subsequent order within such a period that the quality and condition of the goods (including but not limited to their shelf life) will not be materially adversely affected at the time of their return.
            12.4	Pending the return of such Goods, you shall maintain the Goods in the condition in which they were delivered to you, and shall not mix the Goods inseparably with other items.

            13.	Termination

            13.1	Without limiting any of our other rights, we may suspend the supply or delivery of the Goods to you, or terminate the Contract with immediate effect by giving written notice to you if:
