1. The Contract Between Us.

We must receive payment of the whole of the price for the products that you order before your order can be accepted. Once payment has been received by us we will confirm that your order has been accepted in writing either by electronic form or hard copy form. Our acceptance of your order brings into existence a legally binding contract between us.

For business or corporate purchasers, we may, at our discretion, allow such customers to make a 50% deposit payment with the balance to be paid prior to delivery of the goods.

2. Price

2.1 The prices payable for products that you order are as set out in a personal quotation.

2.2 You will be required to pay extra for delivery and it might not be possible for us to deliver to some locations.

2.3 You will have to pay additional costs for delivery if the order is placed with less than 28 days available to the intended delivery date.

3. Re-Sale

You are not permitted to sell and must not offer for sale or re-sell any of our products, unless you have our written prior consent.

4. Our Products and Nuts

All Chocart products may contain nut traces.
