We may also impose limits on certain features and services or restrict access to parts or all of the services without notice or liability.

3. Ordering

3.1 You may submit orders for products by using our online ordering facility on the Website at any time. The facility and our communications to you in relation to any order or contract will be in the English language. The facility allows you to review your order and make any corrections before submitting it to us and by submitting the order you confirm that you have made any such corrections.

3.2 Each product for which you click 'Add to basket' is added to a 'shopping basket' facility. You are given the opportunity to review the quantity, delivery date, and frequency of the order of each item in your shopping basket when you choose to 'check out & deliver'. You can change these, or cancel the purchase of each of the products completely, at this stage, at any time before clicking 'place order'. After you have clicked 'place order' and after our acceptance of your order, items are added to your delivery in addition to any items that you have previously ordered. Please note that discount codes cannot be used on meat boxes, subscriptions or gift cards.

3.3 Your submission of an order amounts to an offer to enter a contract to buy the products from us; subject to paragraph 5.3, you cannot then withdraw or cancel your order except as stated below.

3.4 No order is accepted from you until our website displays an order confirmation message. This message is displayed after you click 'place order' in the shopping basket 'order summary' page. When you order by telephone, your order will be accepted (or rejected, as the case may be) verbally by our staff. A contract for our sale of products to you arises on our acceptance of your order.

3.5 Where we accept an order, we do all that we can to ensure that your order is fulfilled. Products are, however, subject to availability and market conditions and we do not always know if a product is or will be available at the time of accepting an order. If we are unable to deliver an item you have ordered, we may offer a reasonable substitute. You may reject that substitute, and you will not be charged for it, or, if you have paid already, we will refund any amount paid for it. If we do not offer a substitute, we will remove the product from your order so that you are not charged or, if you have paid already, we will refund you the price. We will, however, bear no liability for unavailability of products.

3.6 Some of our products are priced by weight. We show the prices for weights on the website. The weight you'll receive may vary from this guide. We cannot guarantee you will receive the exact weight ordered. In the event of a short weight, a refund according to the price and percentage missing can be given. 

3.7 We do not warrant that the quality of any products, services, information, or other material purchased or obtained by you will meet your expectations. Whilst we take the utmost care to ensure that all product descriptions, images, information and prices are accurate, we do not accept any liability for any inaccuracies, errors or omissions. Shape and size may vary from those shown on the website. Please note that the majority of listings show cooked examples of the products purchased.

3.8 We sell only to end users and our products are not for re-sale. You warrant that you shall not re-sell any of the products.

3.9 When you place your order on our website the value of your order is allocated to your credit / debit card or credit account. Please note we do not accept American Express.

4. Delivery

4.1 The Supplier shall use its reasonable endeavours to meet any date agreed for delivery. In any event time of delivery shall not be of the essence and the Supplier shall not be liable for any losses, costs, damages or expenses incurred by the Buyer or any third party arising directly or indirectly out of any failure to meet any estimated delivery date.

4.2 Delivery of the Goods shall be made to the Buyer’s address specified in the order and the Buyer shall make all arrangements necessary to take delivery of the Goods whenever they are tendered for delivery.

4.3 Risk in the Goods shall pass to the Buyer upon delivery of the Goods, or where the Buyer fails to take delivery on the agreed date, at the time delivery was attempted.

4.4 Title in the Goods shall not pass to the Buyer until payment of the price has been made in full.

4.5 It is compulsory – if there is no person at designated delivery address to receive the goods – for special instructions to be given at the relevant point of the order process. Special instructions will give details of a secure location for the goods to be left at the designated delivery address. Once the courier has left the order in the agreed secure location, the risk in the goods shall pass to the buyer.

4.6 Due to the perishable nature of the goods, if delivery is missed by the customer through no fault of Tom Hixson and Co Ltd or the courier, no refund will be issued.

4.7 Please note that some of our goods are dispatched frozen, and may begin to thaw during the delivery process. We do not recommend refreezing these items. 

4.8 It is very important to store meat safely in the fridge to prevent bacteria, avoid food poisoning and to ensure the quality of the meat is maintained. Please be advised that the use-by dates on vacuum packed meats are a guideline when kept in an industrial fridge. We do not recommend keeping vacuum packed meat longer than 5 days in a domestic fridge. We recommend that you either cook or freeze the meat if you intend to keep it longer than this. If the meat is not vacuum packed, please consume within 2 days or freeze until you intend to consume it.

5. Returns / Refunds / Cancellations / Amendments

5.1 Due to the nature of our business and the laws governing fresh food, we are unable to accept returns. Should you have a problem with your delivery you will need to contact one of our friendly customer advisors who can help you with your request. They can be reached on 020 7248 3569 or email homedining@tomhixson.co.uk.

You must inspect the product as soon as possible after delivery. If you are unhappy with the specifications of an item you have received or there are any defects, please take images of the product and include these in an email to us. We can use these to investigate the issue thoroughly with the relevant supplier.

If, for exceptional circumstances, a refund is authorised. The refund will be made onto either the credit / debit card the order was placed on or a credit will be processed onto the credit account if one exists with us. No cash refund will be made.

5. 2 If a product ordered is not available on day of dispatch, you will receive a replacement of a like to like product. You will receive an email 1-day prior to the order delivery with notification of the replacement product. You will have until 2.00pm that day to respond and confirm the replacement or request a refund. If we do not hear back by 2.00pm, the replacement product will be dispatched and any further order amendment requests cannot be made.

5.3 Cancellations or amendments to orders can be made within 48 hours of placing your order.
