Purchase of a product and/or subscription through this website is conditional upon your acceptance of these terms and conditions. We sell products and subscriptions to our customers whereby we send the desired product at the agreed time to the desired place. Every product and/or subscription is made clear at the time of purchase and through subsequent confirmation emails.

Our subscription packages will auto-renew (except any bought as gifts). You can ask to cancel the packages before your subscription is due to renew. Plans will renew on their anniversary date.

YOUR STATUS

By placing an order through our site, you confirm that:

  1. You are legally capable of entering into binding contracts;
  2. You are at least 18 years old.

You grant us an irrevocable non-exclusive licence to use for any purpose any content you post on our website or otherwise communicated to us via any media.

HOW THE CONTRACT IS FORMED BETWEEN YOU AND US

After you place an order for a subscription and/or product, you will receive an e-mail from us acknowledging that we have received your order. This does not mean that your order has been accepted. Acceptance is confirmed by us sending you an email that confirms that the product(s) have been dispatched. The contract between us will only be formed when we send you dispatch confirmation.

OUR STATUS

Cafédirect Handpicked’s obligations under this agreement are to issue the product and/or subscription to you under the agreement. We are responsible for you receiving the desired goods to an (at least) acceptable quality.

We may provide links on our site to the websites of other companies, whether affiliated with us or not. We cannot give any undertaking, that products you purchase from third party sellers, or from companies to whose website we have provided a link on our site, will be of satisfactory quality, and any such warranties are disclaimed by us absolutely. This disclaimer does not affect your statutory rights against the third party.

CONSUMER RIGHTS

If you have a problem with a product or service you bought online on Cafédirect Handpicked, you can submit your complaint via the Online Dispute Resolution Platform of the European Commission via the following address http://ec.europa.eu/odr which may allow out-of-court dispute settlement.

If you are contracting as a consumer, you may cancel a contract at any time within the cancellation period. This cancellation period begins when you receive dispatch confirmation and ends 14 days after the day on which you receive the goods. You will be responsible for returning a cancelled order to us . You will receive a full refund of the price paid for the subscription and/or product, in accordance with our refunds policy, unless there is any reduction in the value of the goods caused by your handling, in which case the refund will be reduced to reflect this. The refund will include the cost of delivery charges up to our standard delivery charge as a maximum. If the product has been delivered to you before you decide to cancel your contract, you must return it to us without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days after the day on which you let us know that you wish to cancel the contract. 

PRICE AND PAYMENT

The price of any product and/or subscription will be as quoted on our site, except in cases of obvious error. These prices include VAT. If there’s an obvious pricing error in relation to the product and/or subscription which could have reasonably been recognised by you as a mis-pricing then we have the right to cancel any product and/or subscription issued in respect of the deal and issue you a refund in respect of the same.

Payment for all products and subscriptions may be made by credit or debit card and/or PayPal. We may sometimes preauthorise your credit card, debit card and/or other method of payment when you offer to make a purchase but will only charge your credit or debit card up to 14 days before the products are despatched.

DAMAGED OR FAULTY GOODS

We will comply with our obligations in relation to damaged or faulty goods in accordance with your statutory rights.

OUR REFUNDS POLICY

If we are providing a refund:

  1. because you have cancelled the contract between us in accordance with this agreement and within the 14-day cancellation period, we will process the refund due to you as soon as possible and, in any case, within 14 days of the day we receive back from you any goods supplied or, if earlier, 14 days after the day you provide evidence that you have returned the goods. If no goods were supplied, we will refund you by no later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to cancel the contract. In this case, we will refund the price of the product or subscription in full;
  2. for any other reason at our discretion we will notify you of such refund via email within a reasonable period of time. We will usually process the refund due to you as soon as we can.

We will also usually refund any money received from you using the same method originally used by you to pay for your purchase.
