Nothing in these General Terms and Conditions affects your statutory rights, either as a consumer or otherwise.
These General Terms and Conditions of Sale govern the sale of goods by us to you, the customer, via our website www.delicesdeprovence.co.uk, which is operated by Delices de Provence, and also by telephone, email or other means to our Customer Services team and will form the basis of the contract between us. Copies of these terms and conditions are available on request. Please read them carefully before placing your order and print a copy for future reference.
The Contract Between Us
When you place an order to purchase items using our Website or by other means, this is an offer by you to us to purchase such items. By ordering you are providing details which are true, accurate, current and complete and that the payment details are correct and your own.
We will confirm receipt of your order by sending you an email summarising the details of your order (‘Order Confirmation E-mail’); this is the point at which we accept your order and the contract is formed (subject to these terms and conditions). The contract is completed when the goods are delivered (also subject to these terms and conditions)

Amendments: If you wish to amend an order you must notify us as soon as possible and we will use our best efforts to make an amendment if at all possible provided the order has not already been submitted to our Distribution Centre (i.e. on the day the order was placed except for next day deliveries which is immediate). We, however, make no guarantees that this can be done. We also reserve the right to cancel or amend your order before the goods are despatched if the goods are no longer in stock (see Substitution below).
Substitution Items
Delices de Provence reserves the right to substitute an item of equal or greater value than the original item listed, or issue a refund for the product.

Delivery to United Kingdom Addresses
For full information of our delivery services, please <<<click here>>>. Please note that if you order a number of items for delivery to the same address, they may be despatched separately and we cannot guarantee delivery on the same day unless specific day delivery is selected. However we are unable to guarantee delivery will be made by the one courier visit.
We make every effort to despatch items on time. If we are unable to deliver the items within your chosen arrival period, we aim to contact you to discuss your options and despatch as soon as possible. If the items are not delivered within the time period we specify in the Confirmation Email, please contact our Customer Services team quoting the order reference contained in your Order Confirmation E-mail.
Delivery occurs when the items are delivered to the delivery address you specified when placing your order. At this point, responsibility for loss, breakage and damage passes to you. It is the sender’s responsibility to ensure that the delivery can be accepted and signed for and where this fails to happen there will be no refund for fresh products and replacements will be chargeable.
Delivery times may vary according to availability and any guarantees or representations made as to delivery times are limited to mainland UK and subject to any delays resulting from postal delays or force majeure (e.g. weather) for which we will not be responsible.
All deliveries must be signed for. Deliveries are to an address not a named individual. If a signed delivery at that address is not possible a card will be left saying that delivery was attempted and stating where the items will be held and the options available for delivery to be re-attempted or collection. If the delivery subsequently still fails or the delivery is refused by the recipient (e.g. an unwanted gift) then the goods will be returned to our Distribution Centre and the sender contacted for instructions of where the goods should be delivered, a refund is not available in these circumstances. If we are unable to make contact, the returned items will be sent to the sender’s address who will be liable for any additional costs.
Delices de Provence cannot be held responsible for any failed deliveries due to an incorrect or incomplete delivery address. Any new delivery charges incurred due to such errors will be passed on to the sender.
Delivery Outside the United Kingdom
These are made within six working days, subject to customs inspections and delays. For full information of our delivery service, please <<<<click here>>>>. Please note that if you order a number of items for delivery to the same address, they may be despatched separately and we cannot guarantee delivery on the same day unless specific day delivery is selected. However we are unable to guarantee delivery will be made by the one courier visit.
The products specified on this website are suitable and approved for use for customers within the United Kingdom (excluding Channel Islands and Isle of Man). Customers who choose to purchase items for usage and distribution to locations outside the United Kingdom do so at their own risk and have a personal responsibility regarding compliance with local laws. Due to the potential transit time, it is not possible to order perishable items.
Deliveries to the USA
For regulatory reasons, we are unable to take orders for the delivery of fresh food and alcohol products to mainland USA from the UK.
Customs Duties
If you order items for delivery outside the United Kingdom they may be subject to import duties, taxes and fees. These are levied once the items reach the specified destination. You, the customer are responsible for any import duties, taxes and fees incurred on your purchases. Delices de Provence have no prior warning on whether these charges may be incurred or what value they may be. Customs policies vary widely from country to country, so you should contact your local customs office for further information. Customs authorities may request personal information such as Social Security number when inspecting your parcel; failure to provide this information to Customs will result in the parcel being returned, we therefore recommend that the recipient’s telephone details be included with the order. In this instance we are unable to refund the cost of postage and packaging. Please note that for items you order, you are considered the importer and must comply with all laws and regulations of the country in which the items are to be delivered. Please note that cross-border deliveries are subject to opening and inspection by customs authorities. Delices de Provence cannot guarantee that your goods will arrive in the same condition that they were dispatched should they be subject to inspection.
