This document sets out the Terms and Conditions by which Home Grown Here agrees to provide produce and services to you.

When you purchase any produce or services from us, you are signifying your agreement to these Terms and Conditions.

We reserve the right to modify, cancel or append to these Terms and Conditions. The current Terms and Conditions always appear on our website. We reserve the right to alter, vary, omit or substitute any produce or service provided by us as described in any promotional or other materials published by us or on our behalf.

In the event of any alteration, variation, omission or substitution to produce or services as described in our promotion or literature, we will have no liability to refund any part of any fee or deposit paid.

Payment
The full cost of Home Grown Here deliveries (minus any agreed discounts) must be paid within the payment Terms stated on the invoice. We reserve the right to cease deliveries if payment has not been received by the due date.

If any payments which are due under these Terms and Conditions are not made by their respective due date, interest shall accrue on the full amount outstanding at a rate of 8% above the base lending rate of the Bank of England, from the due date until the date of actual payment.

Cancellations
We reserve the right to cancel a delivery at any time up to and including the date of the delivery itself (ie, due to adverse weather Conditions). Should this occur, we will endeavour to give you as much notice as possible and will attempt to deliver on the subsequent day(s) or offer you a credit note.

A Customer is able to cancel their delivery or donate their delivery to Upper Eden Food Bank using the Home Grown Here website.

The Company allows a Customer a maximum of six cancellations per year. If the Customer requests more than six cancellations then a cancellation fee of £1 per cancelled delivery will be applied.

Where the Customer cancels a delivery after the weekly deadline for cancelling a late cancellation fee of £3 will be added to the Customer’s monthly invoice.

Produce Availability
In the event of unavoidable delivery issues, (ie, adverse weather Conditions) the Company withholds the right to alter the advertised veg bag contents. It is at the discretion of Home Grown Here to provide a selection of locally-sourced vegetables and the Customer must accept that the specific quantities and type of vegetable cannot be guaranteed from week to week.

Where late changes are made to the availability list, Home Grown Here will strive to let the Customer know via email at the earliest convenience and replace with alternative produce.

Exceptions
The Company will do everything within its power to avoid giving Customers produce that they have expressly opted out of but very occasionally this isn’t possible.

Returned payments and refunds
We will make an administrative charge of £7.50 to cover cheques returned unpaid or unreasonably disputed credit card payments or unhonoured Direct Debits.

In circumstances where a Customer is due a refund this will be issued by BACS payment into the Customer’s bank account OR by GoCardless where the payments has been made by direct debit. We will process any refund within 28 days of notifying you that we are issuing a refund.

Personal Property

Other Losses

Without prejudice to the other Terms of this agreement, in no event (including our own negligence) will we be liable for any:

a) economic losses;
b) loss of goodwill or reputation;
c) any other special, indirect or consequential losses or
d) loss to third parties.

Limitations
No provision of these Terms and Conditions shall operate or be construed to operate so as to exclude or restrict our liability under the provisions of any UK legislation in force from time to time which are not capable of being excluded or restricted.

Except as otherwise required by UK legislation, our total liability for any loss, damages, costs or expenses shall not exceed an amount equal to the invoice value for the produce or services provided.
