2.3 No variation to these Conditions shall be binding unless agreed in writing between the authorised representatives of the Buyer and Foodie Flavours.

This Condition shall survive termination of the Contract.
3.4 Foodie Flavours reserves the right to amend the specification of the Product if required by any applicable statutory or regulatory requirements.
3.5 Subject to Condition 13, no Order which has been accepted by Foodie Flavours may be cancelled by the Buyer except with the agreement in writing of Foodie Flavours and on terms that the Buyer shall indemnify Foodie Flavours in full against all loss (including loss of profit) costs (including the cost of all labour and materials used), damages, charges and expenses incurred by Foodie Flavours as a result of cancellation.
3.6 Any quotation is given on the basis that no Contract shall come into existence until Foodie Flavours dispatches an order acknowledgement (or Dispatch Confirmation, as the case may be) to the Buyer, or, if earlier, when Foodie Flavours delivers the Product to the Buyer, in accordance with Condition 3.2. Any quotation is valid for a period of 30 days only from its date, provided Foodie Flavours has not previously withdrawn it.
4.1 The price of the Product shall be Foodie Flavours’ quoted price (which shall include the price quoted on Foodie Flavours’ website from time to time, except in the case of obvious error) or, in the absence of a quoted price, the price set out in Foodie Flavours’ price list published on the date of delivery or deemed delivery.
4.2 Foodie Flavours reserves the right, by giving notice in writing from time to time to the Buyer pursuant to Condition 4.3, to increase the price of the Product at its discretion to reflect any increase in the cost to Foodie Flavours for any reason whatsoever such as, without limitation, any foreign exchange fluctuation, currency regulation, alteration of duties, significant increase in the costs of labour, material or other costs of manufacture, any change in delivery dates, quantities or specifications for the Product which is requested by the Buyer, or any delay caused by any instructions of the Buyer or failure of the Buyer to give Foodie Flavours adequate information or instructions or for any other reason.
4.3 In circumstances where a quotation has been provided to the Buyer, Foodie Flavours shall notify the Buyer in writing of any increase in the quoted price no later than 14 days before the date of delivery. The Buyer shall notify Foodie Flavours in writing within 7 days thereafter of its desire to cancel the contract if appropriate. This Clause 4.3 shall not apply to prices stated on the Company’s website and related Orders.
4.4 Except as otherwise stated under the terms of any quotation, order acknowledgement or Dispatch Confirmation of Foodie Flavours, and unless otherwise agreed between the Buyer and Foodie Flavours, all prices are given by Foodie Flavours exclusive of delivery to the Buyer’s premises.
4.5 The price is inclusive of any applicable value added tax.
4.6 Foodie Flavours’ website contains a large number of Products and it is always possible that, despite the best efforts of Foodie Flavours, some of the Products listed on the website may be incorrectly priced. Foodie Flavours will normally verify prices as part of its dispatch procedures so that, where a Product’s correct price is less than Foodie Flavours’ stated price, it will charge the lower amount when dispatching the Product to the Buyer. If a Product’s correct price is higher than the price stated on the website, Foodie Flavours will normally, at its discretion, either contact the Buyer for instructions before dispatching the Product, or reject the Order and notify the Buyer of such rejection.
5.1 Subject to any special terms agreed in writing between the Buyer and Foodie Flavours, Foodie Flavours shall be entitled to invoice the Buyer for the price of the Product before delivery of the Product and shall be entitled to wait until full payment has been received in respect of the Order before dispatching the Product. Payment for Products ordered through Foodie Flavours’ website shall be made before the Product is dispatched and must be made by the methods set out on the website.
5.2 Where Foodie Flavours does not require full payment for the Order before dispatching the Product, the Buyer shall pay the price of the Product within 30 days of the date of the Company’s relevant invoice. The time of payment of the price shall be of the essence of the Contract. No payment shall be deemed to have been received until Foodie Flavours has received cleared funds. Receipts for payment will be issued only upon request.
5.3 If the Buyer fails to make any payment on the due date or Foodie Flavours has reasonable grounds for believing that the Buyer may default in making any payment on the due date then, without prejudice to any other right or remedy available to Foodie Flavours, Foodie Flavours will be entitled to:
5.3.1 cancel the contract or suspend any further deliveries to the Buyer; and
5.3.2 charge the Buyer interest (both before and after any judgement) on the amount unpaid, at 5% per annum above the base rate for the time being of The Clydesdale Bank and withdraw all credit facilities given to the Buyer. Such interest shall accrue on a daily basis from the due date until the date of actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgment. Foodie Flavours reserves the right to claim interest under the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998.
5.4 All payments payable to Foodie Flavours under the Contract shall become due immediately upon termination of the Contract despite any other provision.
5.5 The Buyer shall make all payments due under the Contract without any deduction whether by way of set-off, counterclaim, discount, abatement or otherwise for breach of contract, negligence or any other remedy by any other means whatsoever whether statutory or otherwise unless the Buyer has a valid court order requiring any amount equal to such deduction to be paid by Foodie Flavours to the Buyer. Foodie Flavours may at any time, without limiting any other rights or remedies it may have, set off any amounts owing to it by the Buyer against any amount payable by Foodie Flavours to the Buyer.
6.1 Unless otherwise agreed, delivery of the Product shall be made by Foodie Flavours to the Buyer’s premises. Delivery of the Product shall be completed on the Product’s arrival at the Buyer’s premises.
6.2 Where Products are delivered to business customers, any dates quoted for delivery of the Product are approximate only and Foodie Flavours shall not be liable for any delay in delivery of the Product nor any direct or indirect or consequential loss (all three of which terms include, without limitation, pure economic loss, loss of profits, loss of business, depletion of goodwill and similar loss) or damages, costs, charges or expenses caused directly or indirectly by any delay in the delivery of the Product (even if caused by Foodie Flavours’ negligence), nor will any delay entitle the Buyer to terminate or rescind the Contract unless such delay exceeds 90 days. Time for delivery shall not be of the essence unless previously agreed by Foodie Flavours. The Product may be delivered by Foodie Flavours in advance of the quoted delivery date upon giving reasonable notice to the Buyer. Where Products are delivered to customers who are consumers, the Order will be fulfilled by the delivery date set out in the Dispatch Confirmation or, if no delivery date is specified, then within a reasonable time of the date of the Dispatch Confirmation, unless there are exceptional circumstances; where Foodie Flavours becomes aware that the date for delivery may be delayed, it shall notify the Buyer as soon as possible and aim to provide the Buyer with a revised date for delivery.
6.3 If the Buyer fails to take delivery of the Product or fails to give Foodie Flavours adequate delivery instructions at the time stated for delivery (otherwise than by reason of any cause beyond the Buyer’s reasonable control or by reason of Foodie Flavours’ fault) then, without prejudice to any other right or remedy available to Foodie Flavours, Foodie Flavours may store the Product until actual delivery and charge the Buyer for the reasonable costs (including insurance) of storage.
6.4 If 10 Business Days after the day on which Foodie Flavours notified the Buyer that the Product was ready for delivery, the Buyer has not taken delivery of them, Foodie Flavours may resell or otherwise dispose of part or all of the Product.
6.5 If Foodie Flavours delivers to the Buyer a quantity of Product up to 5% more or less than the quantity accepted by Foodie Flavours the Buyer shall not be entitled to object to or reject the Product or any of it by reason of the surplus or shortfall and shall pay for such Product at the pro rata Contract rate. This condition shall not apply to Orders placed by customers who are consumers.
6.6 The quantity of any consignment of Product as recorded by Foodie Flavours upon despatch from Foodie Flavours’ place of business shall be conclusive evidence of the quantity received by the Buyer on delivery unless the Buyer can provide conclusive evidence proving the contrary.
6.7 Foodie Flavours shall not be liable for any non-delivery of the Product (even if caused by Foodie Flavours’ negligence) unless the Buyer gives written notice to Foodie Flavours of the non-delivery within 2 days of the date when the Product would in the ordinary course of events have been received.
6.8 Any liability of Foodie Flavours for non-delivery of the Product shall be limited to replacing the Product within a reasonable time or issuing a credit note against the pro rata Contract rate against any invoice raised for such Product.
6.9 Foodie Flavours may delivery the Product by instalments, which shall be invoiced and paid for separately. Each instalment shall constitute a separate Contract. Any delay in delivery or defect in an instalment shall not entitle the Buyer to cancel any other instalment.
7.1 Risk of damage to or loss of the Product shall pass to the Buyer:-
7.1.1 in the case of the product to be delivered at Foodie Flavours’s premises, at the time when Foodie Flavours notifies the Buyer that the Product is available for collection; or

7.3.7 shall give Foodie Flavours such information relating to the Product as the Buyer may require from time to time.
7.4 Until such time as the property in the Product passes to the Buyer (and provided the Product is still in existence and has not been resold), Foodie Flavours shall be entitled at any time to require the Buyer to deliver up the Product to Foodie Flavours and if the Buyer fails to do so forthwith, to enter upon any premises of the Buyer or any third party where the Product is stored and repossess the Product.

If delivery is not refused, and the Buyer does not notify Foodie Flavours accordingly, the Buyer shall not be entitled to reject the Product and Foodie Flavours shall have no liability for such defect or failure, and the Buyer shall be bound to pay the price as if the Product had been delivered in accordance with the Contract.

The provisions of this Condition shall not apply to the service of any proceedings or other documents in any legal action.
14.2 A waiver of any right or remedy under the Contract is only effective if given in writing and no waiver by Foodie Flavours of any breach of or any default under the Contract by the Buyer shall be considered as a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or any other provision and will in no way affect the other terms of the Contract.
14.3 Failure or delay by Foodie Flavours in enforcing or partially enforcing any provision of the Contract will not be construed as a waiver of any of its rights under the Contract, nor shall it preclude or restrict the further exercise of that or any other right or remedy. No single or partial exercise of such right or remedy shall preclude or restrict the further exercise of that or any other right or remedy.
14.4 If any provision of these Conditions is held by any competent authority to be wholly or partly illegal, invalid, void, voidable, unreasonable or unenforceable it shall to the extent of such illegality, invalidity, voidness, voidability, unreasonableness or unenforceability be deemed severable and the remaining provisions of the Contract and the remainder of such provision shall continue in full force and effect. If any invalid, unenforceable or illegal provision of the Contract would be valid, enforceable and legal if some part of it were deleted, the provision shall apply with the minimum modification necessary to make it legal, valid and enforceable.
14.5 Each right and remedy of the Company under the Contract is without prejudice to any other right or remedy of the Company whether under the Contract or not.
14.6 The parties to this Contract do not intend that any term of this Contract will be enforceable by virtue of the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 by any person that is not a party to it.
14.7 The Buyer shall not be entitled to assign the Contract of any part of it without the prior written consent of the Company. Foodie Flavours may assign, transfer, charge, sub-contract or deal in any other manner with all or any of its rights or obligations under the Contract or any part of it to any person, firm or company.
14.8 The Contract and these Conditions constitute the entire agreement and understanding of the parties and supersede any previous agreement between the parties relating to the subject matter thereof. Each of the parties acknowledges and agrees that in entering into the Contract it does not rely on and shall have no remedy in respect of any statement, representation, warranty or understanding (whether negligently or innocently made) of any person (whether a party to the Contract or not) other than as expressly set out in the Contract and these Conditions. The only remedy available to it shall be for breach of contract under the terms of the Contract. Nothing in this Condition shall, however, operate or limit or exclude any liability for fraud.
14.9 The Contract shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and the parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts.
