By visiting or using our website charliessmokehouse.co.uk , purchasing products from us, or engaging in any transactions with us, you engage in our “Service” and agree to be bound by the following terms and conditions (“Terms of Service”, “Terms”). These Terms of Service apply to all users of the site, including without limitation users who are browsers, vendors, customers, merchants, and/ or contributors of content.

Please read these Terms of Service carefully before accessing or using our website. If you do not agree to all the terms and conditions of this agreement, then you may not access the website or use any services.

To enter into a contract through our website to purchase products from us, you must add the products you wish to purchase to your shopping cart, and then proceed to the checkout. If you are a new customer, you must then create an account with us and log in, and if you are an existing customer, you must enter your login details. Once you are logged in, you must select your preferred method of delivery and confirm your order and your consent to the terms of this document; you will be transferred to our payment service provider’s website, and they will handle your payment. We will then send you an initial acknowledgement; and once we have checked whether we are able to meet your order, we will either send you an order confirmation (at which point your order will become a binding contract) or we will confirm by email that we are unable to meet your order.

No contract will come into force between you and us unless and until we accept your order. 

Our store is hosted on Shopify Inc. They provide us with the online e-commerce platform that allows us to sell our products and services to you.

Any new features or tools which are added to the current store shall also be subject to the Terms. You can review the most current version of the Terms of Service at any time on this page. We reserve the right to update, change or replace any part of these Terms of Service by posting updates and/or changes to our website. It is your responsibility to check this page periodically for changes. Your continued use of or access to the website following the posting of any changes constitutes acceptance of those changes.

We offer smoked products for sale on our website. The descriptions and images of our products are for informational purposes only, and we reserve the right to modify or discontinue products at any time without notice. We have made every effort to display as accurately as possible the colours and images of our products that appear at the store. 

Our prices are quoted on our website. We will from time to time change the prices quoted on our website, but this will not affect contracts that have previously come into force. All amounts stated in these terms and conditions or on our website are stated exclusive of VAT as these products carry a zero VAT rating.

It is possible that prices on the website may be incorrectly quoted; accordingly, we will verify prices as part of our sale procedures so that the correct price will be notified to you before the contract comes into force. In addition to the price of the products, you may have to pay a delivery charge, which will be notified to you before the contract of sale comes into force.

To place an order, you must provide accurate and complete information. You agree to pay all charges incurred for your orders, including applicable taxes and shipping fees.

You must, during the checkout process, pay the prices of the products you order. Payments may be made by debit or credit card. If you fail to pay to us any amount due under these terms and conditions in accordance with the provisions of these terms and conditions, then we may withhold the products ordered and/or by written notice to you at any time cancel the contract of sale for the products.

If you make an unjustified credit card, debit card or other charge-back then you will be liable to pay us, within 7 days following the date of our written request:

(a) an amount equal to the amount of the charge-back;

(b) all third party expenses incurred by us in relation to the charge-back (including charges made by our or your bank or payment processor or card issuer);

(c) an administration fee of GBP 25.00 including VAT; and

(d) all our reasonable costs, losses and expenses incurred in recovering the amounts referred to in this Section 6.4 (including without limitation legal fees and debt collection fees),

and for the avoidance of doubt, if you fail to recognise or fail to remember the source of an entry on your card statement or other financial statement, and make a charge-back as a result, this will constitute an unjustified charge-back for the purposes of this Section.

We will make every effort to deliver products in a timely manner. However, we are not responsible for delays beyond our control. Risk of loss and title for items purchased pass to you upon delivery of the items to the carrier.

Our return policy is available on our website. Please review it for details on returning products and obtaining refunds.

(a) you fail to pay, on time and in full, any amount due to us under that contract; or

(a) we will cease to have any obligation to deliver products which are undelivered at the date of cancellation;

We may revise these terms and conditions from time to time by publishing a new version on our website. A revision of these terms and conditions will apply to contracts entered into at any time following the time of the revision, but will not affect contracts made before the time of the revision.

No breach of any provision of a contract under these terms and conditions will be waived except with the express written consent of the party not in breach.

No waiver of any breach of any provision of a contract under these terms and conditions shall be construed as a further or continuing waiver of any breach of that provision or any other provision of that contract.

If a provision of these terms and conditions is determined by any court or other competent authority to be unlawful and/or unenforceable, the other provisions will continue in effect.

If any unlawful and/or unenforceable provision of these terms and conditions would be lawful or enforceable if part of it were deleted, that part will be deemed to be deleted, and the rest of the provision will continue in effect.

A contract under these terms and conditions is for our benefit and your benefit, and is not intended to benefit or be enforceable by any third party.

The exercise of the parties’ rights under a contract under these terms and conditions is not subject to the consent of any third party.

Subject to Section 8, these terms and conditions shall constitute the entire agreement between you and us in relation to the sale and purchase of our products and shall supersede all previous agreements between you and us in relation to the sale and purchase of our products.

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England. Any disputes relating to these terms and conditions shall be subject to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England.
