General

AQuarterOf.co.uk may change or withdraw any part of AQuarterOf.co.uk, or may refuse you access to the web site at any time if we consider it necessary.

AQuarterOf.co.uk may also terminate this Agreement and immediately remove, cancel or suspend access to and use of AQuarterOf.co.uk upon breach of any part of these Terms whatsoever.

Termination shall be without prejudice to AQuarterOf.co.uk's other rights.

If AQuarterOf.co.uk does not enforce any provision of this agreement such will not be considered a continuing waiver.

In the event that any part of these Terms is held to be unenforceable, such part will at AQuarterOf.co.uk's option be construed as far as possible to reflect the parties' intentions and the remainder of the provisions will remain in full force and effect.

These Terms constitute the full agreement between you and AQuarterOf.co.uk and may only be amended in writing. They apply to the exclusion of all other terms or conditions of contract proposed.

Since we are principally aiming AQuarterOf.co.uk at the UK and EU market, we cannot guarantee that it accords with local laws of any other countries (though we will try to make sure it does).

Under the UK Criminal Justice Act 1988 it is an offence to sell knives and certain bladed or pointed articles to persons under 16 years of age.

The laws of England and Wales govern these terms and conditions. By accessing this website and using our services/buying our products you consent to these terms and conditions and to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts in all disputes arising out of such access. If any of these terms are deemed invalid or unenforceable for any reason (including, but not limited to the exclusions and limitations set out above), then the invalid or unenforceable provision will be severed from these terms and the remaining terms will continue to apply. Failure of the Company to enforce any of the provisions set out in these Terms and Conditions and any Agreement, or failure to exercise any option to terminate, shall not be construed as waiver of such provisions and shall not affect the validity of these Terms and Conditions or of any Agreement or any part thereof, or the right thereafter to enforce each and every provision. These Terms and Conditions shall not be amended, modified, varied or supplemented except in writing and signed by duly authorised representatives of the Company.

Shopping with AQuarterOf.co.uk

You can order products online via this website.

When you place an order for a product in any of the ways described above ("order") you are offering to buy it for the price stated, subject to these Terms.

When you place your order online we will send you an email to confirm that we have received it. This email confirmation will be produced automatically so that you have confirmation of your order details. The fact that you receive an automatic confirmation does not necessarily mean that we will be able to meet your order. Once we have sent the confirmation email we will then check availability and contact you with a further email. If the product is available and the details of the order are correct, this email will be deemed an acceptance and will specify delivery details and confirm the price of the products purchased. If the product is not available we will also let you know by email.

All new orders are deemed separate and each is treated individually.

AQuarterOf.co.uk may cancel any sale and not supply products if it is reasonable to do so and may change or discontinue the availability of products at any time at its sole discretion. If an order is cancelled, any payment made for the products will be refunded in full. This does not affect your Statutory Rights.

If we discover an error in pricing of the products in your order we will inform you as soon as possible using the contact details you supply us with. We will then give you the option of reconfirming your order at the correct price or cancelling it. (If we are unable to reach you we will treat the order as cancelled). If an order is cancelled, any payment made for the products will be refunded in full.

You will be notified of the delivery costs automatically before you submit your credit card details, based on the size of your order and the delivery address you specify.

Please note that both charges and refunds are in UK pounds and AQuarterOf.co.uk Ltd cannot be held responsible for any loss due to exchange rate fluctuations.

Non-EU customers are responsible for Import Duty/Tax in their respective countries. Unfortunately we cannot advise you what these costs will be - please consult your local customs office for more information.

The only exceptions to this are for corporate accounts where it is pre-agreed by AQuarterOf.co.uk that the company can pay by invoice. Invoice terms are 7 days.

To ensure that shopping online is secure, your credit/debit card details are highly encrypted to minimise the possibility of someone being able to read them as they are sent over the Internet.

Your debit/credit card company may also do security checks to confirm it is you making the order.

If you have received a promotional gift voucher from AQuarterOf.co.uk, only one such Gift Voucher may be redeemed per purchase.

Availability

We try to keep AQuarterOf.co.uk as up to date as possible but, due to the nature and limited availability of the old-fashioned sweets that we sell, we cannot guarantee that particular product will always be available. If we can't supply a product we reserve the right to replace it with an alternative sweet. We may also offer you the option of having the product sent to you as a back order (to follow the remainder of your order as soon as the product becomes available) or, alternatively, we will refund or re-credit your account with the amount debited by us.

All offers are available while stocks last. If we are unable to supply a product you have ordered, we will notify you as soon as we can after receiving your order. If this happens, you may cancel your order and we will refund you the money you have paid for it.

Delivery

AQuarterOf.co.uk delivers to destinations inside and outside the UK. 

You will be notified of the delivery costs automatically before you submit your credit card details.

Delivery outside the EU may be subject to local import taxes, which are your responsibility where they apply. If so, the shipping company should contact you by telephone once your products are in customs to let you know the charge due or else you should consult your local customs office. Unfortunately we cannot advise you what these charges will be and AQuarterOf.co.uk is not responsible for them.

UK orders are despatched either by Royal Mail 24 or 48 services or by Courier. Our couriers may require a signature and operate between 9am and 5pm on weekdays only, so please specify an address where someone will be able to sign for your products between these hours.

If the products are not delivered within the estimated delivery time which we quote, please contact us by telephone or email and we will try and ensure that you receive your order, as quickly as possible, or if you wish you may cancel your order and we will refund the money you have paid. Please note that while items sent by Royal Mail usually arrive within 2-3 days, Royal Mail stipulate that only items still not delivered after 15 working days can be officially classified as lost.

Please order from AQuarterOf.co.uk with enough lead-time to prevent any loss or disappointment resulting from the delivery time as AQuarterOf.co.uk cannot be responsible for this.
