The colour of your Goods may vary slightly from those images.

2. 5.2 The packaging and labelling of your Goods may vary from that shown on images on our site.

3. 5.3 We reserve the right to amend the specification of the Goods if required by any applicable statutory or regulatory requirement. You are solely responsible for checking the specification each time you place an order.

7. Delivery, transfer of risk and title

1. 7.1 We will deliver the Goods to you as soon as reasonably possible and within the timescale relevant to the delivery option you selected at the checkout, which will be within 30 days after the day on which we accept your order (except if you pay by BACS, in which case the Goods will not be dispatched until we have received your payment, and the delivery timescale will be adjusted accordingly. At the point at which we receive your BACS payment, your order will be processed according to the delivery option you selected at the checkout). Time of delivery is not of the essence. Please see our "Delivery information"page for details of estimated delivery timescales, which will depend on the delivery option you chose when you placed your order. Occasionally our delivery to you may be affected by an Event Outside Our Control. See clause 14 (Events outside our control) for our responsibilities when this happens.

2. 7.2 Delivery is complete once the Goods have been unloaded at the address for delivery set out in your order (or collected by a carrier organised by you to collect them from us if we have agreed this with you in advance), and the Goods will be at your risk from that time.

3. 7.3 Title to the Goods shall not pass to you until we receive payment in full (in cleared funds) for the Goods and any other goods that we have supplied to you in respect of which payment has become due (in each case, including all delivery charges), in which case title to the Goods shall pass at the time of payment of all such sums.

4. 7.4 Until title to the Goods has passed to you, you shall:

   1. store the Goods separately from all other goods held by you so that they remain readily identifiable as our property;
   2. not remove, deface or obscure any identifying mark or packaging on or relating to the Goods;
   3. maintain the Goods in satisfactory condition and keep them insured against all risks for their full price from the date of delivery;
   4. notify us immediately if you become subject to any of the events listed in clause 13.1(c) to 13.1(e) inclusive; and
   5. give us such information relating to the Goods as we may require from time to time.

5. 7.5 Subject to clause 7.6, you may resell or use the Goods in the ordinary course of your business (but not otherwise) before we receive payment for the Goods. However, if you resell the Goods before that time:

   1. you do so as principal and not as our agent; and
   2. title to the Goods shall pass from us to you immediately before the time at which resale by you occurs.

6. 7.6 If before title to the Goods passes to you, you become subject to any of the events listed in clause 13.1(c) to 13.1(e) inclusive, then, without limiting any other right or remedy we may have:

   1. your right to resell the Goods or use them in the ordinary course of your business ceases immediately; and
   2. we may at any time:
      1. require you to deliver up all Goods in your possession that have not been resold, or irrevocably incorporated into another product; and
      2. if you fail to do so promptly, enter any premises of yours or of any third party where the Goods are stored in order to recover them.

7. 7.7 We may deliver up to 5% more or less in weight than the quantity of Goods you ordered without any adjustment in the price of the Goods and the quantity so delivered shall be deemed to be the quantity ordered. You acknowledge that this is reasonable due to the nature of the Goods.

8. 7.8 If we fail to deliver the Goods, our liability is limited to the cost of obtaining replacement goods of a similar description and quality in the cheapest market available, less the price of the Goods. However, we will not be liable to the extent that any failure to deliver was caused by an Event Outside Our Control, or because you failed to provide adequate delivery instructions or any other instructions that are relevant to the supply of goods.

9. 7.9 If you fail to take delivery within 7 days after the day on which we notified you that the Goods were ready for delivery, we may resell part of, or all the Goods and after deducting any reasonable storage and selling costs, account to you for any excess over the price of the Goods or charge you for any shortfall below the price of the Goods.

8. International delivery

1. 8.1 We deliver to some, but not all, countries outside the UK (International Delivery Destinations), so if your business is outside the UK and you are unable to find your delivery destination at the checkout, please contact us on trade@justingredients.co.uk for further information, and to check whether we can deliver to you, before ordering any products from us (International Delivery Destinations). However, there are restrictions on some Goods for certain International Delivery Destinations, so please review the information on that page carefully before ordering Goods.

2. 8.2 If you order Goods from our site for delivery to one of the International Delivery Destinations, your order may be subject to import duties and taxes which are applied when the delivery reaches that destination. Please note that we have no control over these charges and we cannot predict their amount.

3. 8.3 You will be responsible for payment of any such import duties and taxes. Please contact your local customs office for further information before placing your order.

4. 8.4 You must comply with all applicable laws and regulations of the country for which the Goods are destined. We will not be liable or responsible if you break any such law.

9. Price of goods and delivery charges

1. 9.1 The prices of the Goods will be as quoted on our site at the time you submit your order. We take all reasonable care to ensure that the prices of Goods are correct at the time when the relevant information was entered onto the system. However, please see clause 9.5 for what happens if we discover an error in the price of Goods you ordered.

2. 9.2 Prices for our Goods may change from time to time, but changes will not affect any order you have already placed.

3. 9.3 The price of Goods unless otherwise stated excludes VAT (where applicable) at the applicable current rate chargeable in the UK for the time being. However, if the rate of VAT changes between the date of your order and the date of delivery, we will adjust the VAT you pay, unless you have already paid for the Goods in full before the change in VAT takes effect.

4. 9.4 The price of the Goods does not include delivery charges. Our delivery charges will be as displayed to you on our website when you checkout, at which point you will be asked to select which delivery option you prefer and you will be shown the costs and timescale relevant to each available option.

5. 9.5 We sell a large number of Goods through our site. It is always possible that, despite our reasonable efforts, some of the Goods on our site may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices as part of our dispatch procedures so that:

   1. where the Goods' correct price is less than the price stated on our site, we will charge the lower amount when dispatching the Goods to you; and
   2. if the Goods' correct price is higher than the price stated on our site, we will contact you as soon as possible to inform you of this error and we will give you the option of continuing to purchase the Goods at the correct price or cancelling your order. We will not process your order until we have your instructions. If we are unable to contact you using the contact details you provided during the order process, we will treat the order as cancelled and notify you in writing. However, if we mistakenly accept and process your order where a pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could reasonably have been recognised by you as a mispricing, we may cancel supply of the Goods and refund you any sums you have paid.

10. How to pay

1. 10.1 You can only pay for Goods using a debit card or credit card (Visa, Mastercard, Discover, or Maestro only), or via PayPal, unless:

   1. we have agreed credit terms with you in writing; or
   2. we have agreed to accept payment by BACS (but please note that this is in special circumstances only, and is at our discretion).

2. 10.2 Except in cases where we have agreed credit terms with you in writing (see clause 10.1(a) above) or where we have agreed to accept payment by BACS (see clause 10.1(b) above), payment for the Goods and all applicable delivery charges is due when you place your order on the website.

3. 10.3 Where we have agreed credit terms with you in writing:

   1. orders will only be accepted subject to you having fully and accurately completed our credit application form, and to your credit status being to our satisfaction, and we reserve the right to terminate the credit arrangement and require payment in advance for the Goods in the event of your credit status ceasing to be satisfactory to us or (without prejudice to clause 3.3 above) if we find out that your credit application form was incomplete or inaccurate;
   2. all payments will be made to us in full (including VAT and all applicable delivery charges) and in cleared funds within 30 days from the date of our invoice for the Goods, and time for payment shall be of the essence;
   3. we will not accept your Order if it would cause your credit limit with us to be exceeded;
   4. if you fail to make any payment due to us under this agreement by the due date for payment, then you shall pay interest on the overdue amount at the rate of 3% per annum above Barclays Bank plc’s base rate from time to time. Such interest shall accrue on a daily basis from the due date until actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgment. You shall pay the interest together with the overdue amount.

4. 10.4 You shall pay all amounts due under this agreement in full without any set-off, counterclaim, deduction or withholding (except for any deduction or withholding required by law).

Please note that even after treatments, some Goods can be subject to re-infestation if they are not correctly stored.

Please note that our specifications for Non Heat-Treated Goods indicate the levels of pathogens at which we will release the Goods for sale, but we do not offer any guarantee in relation to any micro-levels that may be present in Non Heat-Treated Goods. If you are unsure about the suitability of Non Heat-Treated Goods, please consult us prior to making your purchase; or
