1. Security & Order Confirmation
If You pay by credit or debit card, Your details are handled by Us on a secure
server using Braintree encryption. While it is impossible for any web site
to be completely impregnable to fraud, Our system of a secure server and
encryption offers a good level of security that You can be confident with.
When You place an order to purchase a product We will send You an e-mail
confirming receipt of Your order and containing the details of Your order including
transaction and order reference numbers.
Your order represents an offer to Us to purchase a product which is accepted by
Us when We process payment for your order.
When We accept Your order, We will send a Dispatch Confirmation E-mail.
Any products which We have not confirmed in a Dispatch Confirmation E-mail do
not form part of that contract.
If You have incorrectly entered Your email address Your confirmation and
dispatch email may fail. So long as payment has been processed successfully
this will in no way affect Your order.
Failure by Us to send a receipt confirmation email or dispatch confirmation email
in no way invalidates Your offer or Our acceptance of your offer.
2. Post & Packaging
Post & packing prices are based on orders to UK mainland addresses only. We
send orders by various methods but generally We will provide You with tracking
information in Your confirmation email.
If You have special delivery directions or the telephone number of the recipient
these may help with Your delivery and therefore please ensure You leave details
in the appropriate field in the checkout section.
FULL VALID POST CODES are required for every order. We will not send any
orders without one. If You provide an incorrect address, including the postcode,
We do not accept any responsibility for a failure of an order to arrive or any costs
involved in redirecting that order.
We strive to dispatch orders the same day if they are received before 0930
(Monday to Thursday) although this is not always possible. Orders may take up
to 5 days to be dispatched.
If You have chosen next day delivery We will send the order the same day for
next day delivery so long as the order was received before 1400 (Monday to
Thursday). Because delivery is handled by outside contractors we cannot
guarantee delivery although we use our reasonable endeavours to ensure
delivery on the date requested.
If next day delivery orders are received outside of the above times We will strive
to send the order the same day, or if this is not possible, orders will be sent the
next working day.
In hot or extremely cold weather, We reserve the right to delay Your order until
the weather has moderated. In extreme situations this can delay orders for
several days.
For urgent orders when extreme weather is present We will contact You for
authority to send despite prevailing weather conditions. If You authorise such
dispatch We cannot accept any liability for damage or loss.
Time is not of the essence in relation to this contract.
3. Damage & Tracing Parcels
In the event that Your chocolate is damaged in transit please contact Us within
24 hours of receipt. Products received by courier should be checked before being
signed for. If the exterior packaging or the product are found to be damaged You
must then sign "checked and found to be damaged". If You fail to do this We may
not be able to offer a refund.
If orders are not delivered please check your tracking information before
contacting us. If orders are considered by Us to be lost in transit after a
reasonable period time has elapsed we shall at Our discretion either refund or
resend the order.
Should You fail to collect a parcel or re arrange delivery of your parcel after a
failed delivery and the parcel is returned to Us then You will incurr a further
postage charge for Us to re send the order.

9. Cookies & Beacons
A cookie is a text-only string of information that a website transfers to the cookie
file of the browser on Your computer's hard disk so that the website can
remember who You are.
A cookie will typically contain the name of the domain from which the cookie has
come, the "lifetime" of the cookie, and a value, usually a randomly generated
unique number.
Two types of cookies are used on our website:
Session Cookies are temporary cookies that remain in the cookie file of Your
browser until You leave the site. They allow You to carry informa- tion across
pages of Our site and avoid having to re-enter information. They also allow You
to maintain a shopping basket and within registration to allow You to access
stored information.
Persistent Cookies remain in the cookie file of Your browser for longer depending
on how long the lifetime of the specific cookie is. They help Us recognise You as
a unique visitor by using a unique random number when You return to Our
website. They also allow Us to compile anonymous, aggregated statistics that
allow Us to understand how users use Our site and to help Us improve the
structure of Our website.
We cannot identify You personally in this way.
Cookies help Our website arrange content to match Your preferred interests
more quickly. The vast majority of websites use cookies. Cookies cannot be used
by themselves to identify You.
Web Beacons Some of Our Web pages may contain electronic images known
as Web beacons or clear GIF's. These allow Us to count users who have visited
these pages. Web beacons collect only limited information which include a
cookie number, time and date of a page view, and a description of the page on
which the Web beacon resides.

10. Privacy
We take Your privacy seriously and are committed to providing users with an

the privacy practices of these other sites. Read our updated Privacy Policy - May 2018
11. Spam Attack
The EU Directive on Privacy and Electronic Communications demands that
member states do more to combat spam. The UK law tries to create a system
that lets legitimate businesses send direct e-mail to users but attempts to stop
the scammers and spammers.
We only send emails to addresses that have been supplied directly to Us by
customers and We always remove addresses from Our address book when
requested to do so by those customers. We never spam.
12. Data Security
We endeavour to take all reasonable steps to protect Your personal information.
All the data collected by Us is stored on a secure server. The secure server
software encrypts all information You input before it is sent to Us.
