1. Information About Us

 

locally-sourced.co.uk is a website operated by Local E Sourced Ltd (“we”, “us”, “local e sourced” or “locally sourced”), incorporated and registered in the England and Wales, whose registered office is at Suite 7, Penn House, 9-10 Broad Street, Hereford, HR4 9AP, United Kingdom. Our Company registration number is 12531743. Local E Sourced Ltd is a business where the products and services are produced and/or their businesses are registered in the county of Herefordshire (our “Partner Suppliers”) and delivered by us.

 

2. Purpose

 

Our objective is to link you to the local suppliers we partner with (“Partner Suppliers”) and allow you to order Items for delivery (our “Service”). Where you order through our website and application, Local E Sourced processes your order through our Website and Application and to manage your experience throughout the order process. Once you have placed an order, your Items will be delivered to you by Local E Sourced via a national courier based locally (“Local E Sourced Delivery”).

3. Your Account

 

Before you can place orders for Items using our website or Application, you need to open a Local E Sourced account. When you open an account, you may create a password, or other secure login method, and may also have to provide credit card details. You must keep any password you create, or other secure login method, secret, and prevent others from accessing your email account or mobile phone. If another person uses these methods to access your account, you will be responsible to pay for any Items they order, and we are not responsible for any other losses you suffer, unless the person using your password obtained it because we did not keep it secure.

You may close your account at any time by requesting to do so in your account section of our website or contacting us using the contact details above. We may suspend your access to your account, or close it permanently, if we believe that your account has been used by someone else. We may also close your account if in our opinion you are abusing our Service (for example, by applying for refunds or credit to which we do not consider you are entitled, making repeated unreasonable complaints, mistreating our staff, or any other good reason). If we close your account permanently we will refund any remaining account credit you have validly obtained from our customer service team or Application following any issue with an order, by applying a credit to your registered credit card, or if that is not possible for any reason, by way of a bank transfer using bank details (provided you have supplied them to us).

 

4. Service Availability

 

Each Supplier offers products that are available. If the product is not available from the supplier, it will not be accessible on the website or application.

5. Orders

When you place an order through our website or Application, we will send you a notification if your order has been accepted (the “Confirmation Notice”). The contract for the supply of any Item you have ordered comes into existence when we send the Confirmation Notice. You are responsible for paying for all Items ordered using your account, and for related delivery charges, and for complying with these Terms, even if you have ordered the Item for someone else. All Items are subject to availability.

  

6. Delivery

 

When you place an order, you will receive your package within 48 hours unless specified on your order confirmation. We will tell you an estimated delivery time for your Item before you place the order, but we will attempt delivery as soon as possible.

Unfortunately, despite our best efforts, things do not always go to plan and factors such as traffic and weather conditions may prevent us from delivering your Item on time.

We will attempt delivery at the address you provide to us when you place your order. If you need to change the delivery location after you have placed your order, we may be able to change to the address to an alternative one that is registered with your account if you let us know before the driver has been dispatched, and the new address is within the same zone as the address you originally ordered your Item to. If we cannot change the delivery address, you have the option to cancel the order, if packing the order has started you will be charged the price for packing cancellation, and if the driver has been dispatched you will also be charged for delivery.

 

7. Your Rights if Something is Wrong With Your Items

 

You have a legal right to receive goods which comply with their description, which are of satisfactory quality and which comply with any specific requirements you tell us about (and we agree to) before you place your order. If you believe that the Items you have been delivered do not comply with these legal rights, please let us know. We may request a photograph showing the problem if it is something that can be seen by inspecting the Items. We will provide a refund or account credit in respect of the affected part of the Item, and also in respect of delivery if the whole order was affected, unless we have reasonable cause to believe that the problem was caused after delivery.

Prior to processing your refund or account credit, we may take into account relevant factors including the details of the order, including your account history, what happened on delivery and information from the courier.

8. Age Restricted Products

 

Age restricted products (including, without limitation, alcohol, tobacco and cigarettes) can only be sold and delivered to persons aged 18 or over. By placing an order for an age restricted product, you confirm that you are at least 18 years old. The driver may refuse to deliver any age restricted product to any person who does not look aged 25 unless they can provide valid photo ID proving that they are aged 18 or over. The delivery driver may refuse to deliver alcohol to any person who is or appears to be under the influence of either alcohol or drugs. If delivery of any age restricted product is refused, you will still be charged for the relevant Item and for delivery.

 

9. Cancellation

 

You may cancel an order without charge at any time before the packing process has started (a “Started Order”). If you wish to cancel an order before it becomes a Started Order, please contact us immediately, via our website or Application. If the packaging department can confirm the order was not a Started Order, we will refund your payment (excluding any discount, or Voucher that was applied to the order – see Voucher and Account Credit Terms for more detail). If you cancel any order after it becomes a Started Order, you will be charged the full packing price for the Items, and if the driver has been dispatched you will also be charged for delivery.

Local E Sourced may notify you that an order has been cancelled at any time. You will not be charged for any orders cancelled by us, and we will reimburse you for any payment already made using the same method you used to pay for your order. We may also apply credit to your account to reflect the inconvenience caused.

 

10. Prices, Payment and Offers

 

You confirm that you are using our Service for personal, non-commercial use. Local E Sourced may operate dynamic pricing some of the time, which means that prices of Items and delivery may change while you are browsing. Prices can also change at any time at the discretion of the Supplier. We reserve the right to charge a Service Fee, which may be subject to change, for the provision of our Services. You will be notified of any applicable Service Fee and taxes prior to purchase on the checkout page on our Application. No changes will affect existing confirmed orders, unless there is an obvious pricing mistake. Nor will changes to prices affect any orders in process and appearing within your basket, provided you complete the order within 2 hours of creating the basket. If you do not conclude the order before the 2-hour cut-off the items will be removed from your basket automatically and the price change will apply. If there is an obvious pricing mistake we will notify you as soon as we can and you will have the choice of confirming the order at the original price or cancelling the order without charge and with a full refund of any money already paid.  Where Local E Sourced make a delivery, we will charge you a delivery fee unless it is over a specific amount stated at check out. This will be notified to you during the order process before you complete your order.

The total price of your order will be set out on the checkout page on our website or Application, including the prices of Items and Delivery and applicable Service Fees and taxes.

All prices shown on our website are inclusive of VAT.

Payment for all Items and deliveries can be made on our website or Application by credit or debit card, or other payment method made available by Local E Sourced. Once your order has been confirmed your credit or debit card will be authorised and the total amount marked for payment. Payment is made directly to Local E Sourced.
