8. YOUR CONSUMER RIGHT OF RETURN AND REFUND
8.1 You have a legal right to cancel a Contract during the period set out below in Clause 8.3. This means that during the relevant period if you change your mind or decide for any other reason that you do not want to receive or keep a Product and/or Subscription, you can notify us of your decision to cancel the Contract and receive a refund. Advice about your legal right to cancel the Contract is available from your local Citizens’ Advice Bureau or Trading Standards office.
8.2 However, this cancellation right may not apply in the case of personalised Products.
8.3 Your legal right to cancel a Contract starts from the date of the Dispatch Confirmation or Subscription Confirmation (the date on which we e-mail you to confirm our acceptance of your order for Products or a Subscription, as applicable), which is when the Contract between us is formed. Your deadline for cancelling the Contract then depends on what you have ordered and how it is delivered, as set out in the table below:
| Your Contract | End of the cancellation period |
| Your Contract is for a single Product (which is not delivered in instalments on separate days). | The end date is the end of 14 days after the day on which you receive the Product.Example: if we provide you with a Dispatch Confirmation on 1 January and you receive the Product on 10 January you may cancel at any time between 1 January and the end of the day on 24 January. |
| Your Contract is for either of the following:one Product which is delivered in instalments on separate days.multiple Products which are delivered on separate days. | The end date is 14 days after the day on which you receive the last instalment of the Product or the last of the separate Products ordered.Example: if we provide you with a Dispatch Confirmation on 1 January and you receive the first instalment of your Product or the first of your separate Products on 10 January and the last instalment or last separate Product on 15 January you may cancel in respect of all instalments and any or all of the separate Products at any time between 1 January and the end of the day on 29 January. |
| Your Contract is for the regular delivery of a Product over a set period but is not a Subscription. | The end date is 14 days after the day on which you receive the first delivery of the Products.Example: if we provide you with a Dispatch Confirmation on 1 January in respect of Products to be delivered at regular intervals over a year and you receive the first delivery of your Product on 10 January, you may cancel at any time between 1 January and the end of the day on 24 January. 24 January is the last day of the cancellation period in respect of all Products to arrive during the year. |
| Your Contract is for a Subscription. | If payment for your next Subscription Payment Period has not yet been taken and your first Subscription Box of that Subscription Payment Period has not yet been dispatched: You can cancel your Contract for the Subscription by notifying us and we will not take the payment for your next Subscription Payment Period and will not dispatch the Subscription Boxes for that Subscription Payment Period or thereafter. If payment for your next Subscription Payment Period has been taken but your first Subscription Box of that Subscription Payment Period has not yet been dispatched: You can cancel your Contract for the Subscription by notifying us. We will not dispatch the Subscription Boxes for that Subscription Payment Period or thereafter and we will refund you in full in accordance with Clause 8.4. If payment for your next Subscription Payment Period has been taken and the first Subscription Box of that Subscription Payment Period has been dispatched: You can cancel your Contract for the Subscription by notifying us during the cancellation period, which ends 14 days after the day on which you receive the first Subscription Box of the applicable Subscription Payment Period. Example: if you receive the first Subscription Box of the Subscription Payment Period on 10 January you may cancel your Subscription until the end of the day on 24 January.

If you want to cancel your Subscription during your Subscription Payment Period after the 14 cancellation period set out above has expired, you may do so for the remainder of your Subscription Payment Period (and thereafter) and we will refund you on a pro rata basis for any Subscription Boxes you have paid for in advance but will no longer receive. |
8.4.1 If your Contract is an individual order is for Products, you just need to let us know that you have decided to cancel using the method set out at Clause 2. If you are e-mailing or writing to us please include details of your order to help us identify it. If you send your cancellation notice by e-mail or by post, then your cancellation is effective from the date you send the e-mail or post the letter. For example, you will have given notice in time as long as you get your letter into the last post on the last day of the cancellation period or e-mail before midnight on that day.
8.4.2, if your Contract is a Subscription, you just need to let us know that you have decided to cancel your Subscription by raising a ticket on the site notifying customer service that you wish to do so. When raising a ticket, please include details of your Subscription to help us identify it. Your cancellation is effective from the date you raise the ticket. For example, you will have given notice in time as long as you raise a ticket before midnight on that day. If you have any problems trying to raise a ticket to cancel your Subscription, please contact us using the method set out at Clause 2.
8.5 If you cancel your Contract we will:
8.5.1 refund you the price you paid for the Products (which may be on a pro rata basis where your Contract is for a Subscription – please see the table at Clause 8.3 above). However, please note we are permitted by law to reduce your refund to reflect any reduction in the value of the goods, if this has been caused by your handling them in a way which would not be permitted in a shop (for example if you open the packaging). If we refund you the price paid before we are able to inspect the goods and later discover you have handled them in an unacceptable way, you must pay us an appropriate amount;
8.5.2 refund any delivery costs you have paid, although, as permitted by law, the maximum refund will be the costs of delivery by the least expensive delivery method we offer (provided that this is a common and generally acceptable method). For example, if we offer delivery of a Product within 7 days at one cost but you choose to have the Product delivered the next day at a higher cost, then we will only refund what you would have paid for the cheaper delivery option;
8.5.3 make any refunds due to you as soon as possible and in any event within (i) 14 days after the day on which we receive the Product back from you or, (ii) if we have agreed to collect the Product, 14 days after you inform us of your decision to cancel the Contract.
8.6 We will refund you on the credit card or debit card used by you to pay. If you used vouchers to pay for the Product we may refund you in vouchers.
8.7 If a Product has been delivered to you before you decide to cancel your Contract:
8.7.1 then 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; and
8.7.2 unless the Product is faulty or not as described (in this case, see Clause 9), you will be responsible for the cost of returning the Products.
9. NON-CONFORMING GOODS
9.1 Because you are a consumer, we are under a legal duty to supply Products that are in conformity with this Contract. As a consumer, you have legal rights in relation to Products that are faulty or not as described. These legal rights are set out below and are in addition to your right of return and refund in Clause 8 above or anything else in these Terms.
9.2 If you receive a Product that is faulty or mis-described you have a legal right to reject the Product or request a repair or replacement. If you wish to reject the Product or request a repair or replacement you will need to contact us . You have 30 days from the date of delivery of the Product in which to contact us to reject or request a replacement to the faulty or mis-described Product.
9.3 If you have requested a repair or replacement to a Product we will use our best efforts to complete the repair or replacement as soon as possible and with the least inconvenience to you.

10. DELIVERY
10.1 For individual orders, we will contact you with an estimated delivery date, which will be within 30 days after the date of the Dispatch Confirmation (the date on which we e-mail you to confirm our acceptance of your order). For Subscriptions, we will contact you with an estimated delivery date for each Subscription Box, [which will be within 30 days of the Dispatch Confirmation (the date on which we e-mail you to confirm your Subscription Box has been dispatched)]. Occasionally our delivery to you may be affected by an Event Outside Our Control. See Clause 16 for our responsibilities when this happens.
10.2 If no one is available at your address to take delivery, the delivery driver may attempt to leave it in a safe place or with a neighbour. If this is not possible, a card will be left with details of any rescheduled delivery date (if applicable) or alternatively how to collect or rearrange your delivery. Should any order be returned to us and you made no attempt to contact us or the courier regarding delivery, we will be entitled to charge a standard delivery charge to re-send the order.
10.3 Delivery of an order (including each Subscription Box) shall be completed when we deliver the Products to the address you gave (or other address in accordance with Clause 10.2) and the Products will be your responsibility from that time. You may also choose to collect your order from our warehouse or one of our The Hop Shoppe bottle shops. In such cases, delivery of an order shall be completed on your collection of the Products which shall be your responsibility from that time.
10.4 You own the Products once we have received payment in full, including all applicable delivery charges.
10.5 If we miss the 30 day delivery deadline for any Products (including any Subscription Boxes) then you may cancel your order straight away if any of the following apply:
10.5.1 we have refused to deliver the Products;
10.5.2 delivery within the delivery deadline was essential (taking into account all the relevant circumstances); or
10.5.3 you told us before we accepted your order that delivery within the delivery deadline was essential.
10.6 If you do not wish to cancel your order straight away, or do not have the right to do so under Clause 10.5, you can give us a new deadline for delivery, which must be reasonable, and you can cancel your order if we do not meet the new deadline.
10.7 If you do choose to cancel your order for late delivery under Clause 10.5 or Clause 10.6, you can do so for just some of the Products or all of them, unless splitting them up would significantly reduce their value. If your order is a Subscription, you may cancel your Subscription in its entirety or just in relation to the impacted Subscription Box. If the Products have been delivered to you, you will have to return them to us or allow us to collect them, and we will pay the costs of this. After you cancel your order we will refund any sums you have paid to us for the cancelled Products and their delivery in accordance with Clause 8.
10.8 We do not accept any responsibility for delayed or failed delivery of a Product which results from your failure to provide correct address information. If a Product is returned to us because you fail to provide correct address information, we reserve the right to require that you pay additional postage costs (and administration fees and taxes, if applicable) before we re-deliver the Product.
11. NO INTERNATIONAL DELIVERY
Unfortunately, we do not deliver to addresses outside the UK. You may place an order for Products from outside the UK, but this order must be for delivery to an address in the UK.
12. PRICE OF PRODUCTS AND DELIVERY CHARGES
12.1 The prices of the Products 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 Products are correct at the time when the relevant information was entered onto the system. However please see Clause 12.5 for what happens if we discover an error in the price of Product(s) you ordered.
12.2 Prices for our Products may change from time to time, but changes will not affect any order you have already placed.
12.3 The price of a Product includes 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 Products in full before the change in VAT takes effect.
12.4 The price of a Product does not include delivery charges. Our delivery charges are as advised to you during the check-out process, before you confirm your order.
12.5 Our site contains a large number of Products. It is always possible that, despite our reasonable efforts, some of the Products on our site may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices as part of our dispatch procedures so that:
12.5.1 where the Product’s correct price is less than the price stated on our site, we will charge the lower amount when dispatching the Products to you. However, if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as a mispricing, we do not have to provide the Products to you at the incorrect (lower) price; and
12.5.2 if the Product’s 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 Product 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.

We reserve the right to limit the applicability of any particular Offers to specific regions or delivery areas. Different Offers may be run simultaneously but cannot be used in combination with each other unless explicitly allowed.
13.8 We reserve the right to reject the use of an Offer where fraud or breach of these Terms is suspected.

14.2 If you purchase a Subscription from us, we will collect payment from you for each Subscription Box we deliver to you.

You will be able to select your Subscription Payment Period from the options we make available to you when you purchase the Subscription. If you purchase a Subscription from us, you authorise us to take payments from the card chosen by you on a recurring basis each Subscription Payment Period for the duration of your Subscription, including for any additional amounts (including any delivery costs, VAT or other taxes and fees, as applicable) that may be accrued by or in connection with your Subscription in accordance with these Terms.

The maximum amount we are liable for is the cost of the Products plus any relevant delivery charges.
15.2 We only supply the Products for domestic and private use. You agree not to use the product for any commercial, business or resale purposes, and we have no liability to you for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity.

Where the Event Outside Our Control affects our delivery of Products to you, we will arrange a new delivery date with you after the Event Outside Our Control is over.
16.4 You may cancel a Contract affected by an Event Outside Our Control which has continued for more than 30 days. To cancel please contact us in one of the ways set out in Clause 8.4. If you opt to cancel, you will have to return (at our cost) any relevant Products you have already received and we will refund the price you have paid, including any delivery charges.
16.5 We reserve the right to cancel an order, end a Contract, refuse to deliver a Product and inform law enforcement agencies in circumstances where we consider (acting in our absolute discretion) that you are attempting to obtain a Product using fraudulent means, to commit any other type of fraud or to otherwise break the law or breach these Terms.
16.6 References in this Clause 16 to an Event Outside Our Control do not include any action which you take in order to frustrate or hinder our performance of the Contract.
