Where it is not possible to accept your order to buy goods of the specification and description at the price indicated, we will advise you by email, and offer to sell you the goods of the specification and description at the price stated in the email and will state in the email the period for which the offer or the price remains valid.

10. Payment terms

We will take payment upon receipt of your order via the payment methods accepted. We accept no liability if a delivery is delayed or cancelled because you did not give us the correct payment details. If it is not possible to obtain full payment for the goods from you, then we can refuse to process your order and/or suspend any further deliveries to you. This does not affect any other rights we may have.

11.  Terms for Ongoing Subscriptions (recurring payments)

Our card service provider handles our subscription service. It’s similar to Standing Orders and Direct Debits where you arrange to get funds debited from your debit or credit card rather than from your bank account.

Once set-up, payments to Ethical Addictions Ltd will automatically be collected in monthly instalments over the time specified within the purchase agreement. If it is a continuous payment, the contract will end either when you choose to cancel it or Ethical Addictions Ltd ends it. Any contract is between you and Ethical Addictions Ltd.

How to Cancel

To cancel your subscription please email us at hello@eacoffee.co.uk. Please allow up to 48 hours for the recurring payment to be cancelled.  

12. Delivery

Delivery charges vary according to the amount of goods ordered and the delivery address. 

12.1 Our delivery charges are set out on the shop page of our website. 

12.2 You will be required to pay for delivery where applicable and it might not be possible for us to deliver to some locations, or a premium may be applicable for some postcodes.  If you do not select and pay for the correct delivery option we will make every effort to contact you and correct the delivery however in the meantime your goods will not be delivered. Upon receipt of the proper delivery payment goods will be sent out, or a refund may be requested. 

12.3 Please note that we are only able to deliver to addresses within the United Kingdom. 

12.4 We will deliver the goods to the address you specify for delivery in your order. It is important that this address is accurate. Please be precise about where you would like the goods left if you are out when we deliver. We cannot accept any liability for any loss or damage to the goods once they have been delivered in accordance with your delivery instructions (unless this is caused by our negligence). We will aim to deliver the goods within the time frame suggested for delivery but delivery dates and times are not guaranteed and therefore time is not of the essence. In any event, we will aim to deliver your goods within 30 days from the day after the day we received your order. If delivery is delayed beyond this time, we will contact you and either agree a mutually acceptable alternative date, or offer you a full refund. 

12.5 You will become the owner of the goods you have ordered when they have been delivered to you. Once goods have been delivered to you they will be held at your own risk and we will not be liable for their loss or destruction. 

13. Risk and ownership

Risk of damage to or loss of the goods passes to you at the time of delivery to you. You will only own the goods once they have been successfully delivered in accordance with your delivery instructions. 

14. Cancellation rights

14.1 Under the Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations 2000 you have the legal right to cancel your order up to seven working days after the day on which you receive your goods (with the exception of any made to order items).

However, you will need to notify us in writing or in any other durable medium if you wish to cancel your contract. 

14.2 If you have received the goods before you cancel your contract then you must send the goods back to our contact address at your own cost and risk.

14.3 Once you have notified us that you are cancelling your contract, any sum debited by us from your credit or debit card will be re-credited (minus and delivery costs) to your account as soon as possible after inspection of the returned goods, and in any event within 30 days of cancellation (assuming the goods have been returned).

  • We have insufficient stock to deliver the goods you have ordered;

  • One or more of the goods you ordered was listed at an incorrect price due to a typographical error or an error in the pricing information received by us from our suppliers.
