• Order acceptance and the formation of the contract between you and us will take place on the dispatch to you of the products ordered unless we have notified you that we do not accept your order or you have cancelled it in accordance with the instructions below.

• The product you ordered is not available from stock.
• We are unable to obtain authorisation for your payment.
• A price or product description error is identified.  
• You do not meet the eligibility to order criteria set out in the main Terms and Conditions.

Delivery is available in restricted areas. 

Collection for orders placed via Waitrose.com is available from selected branches. 

Collection for Food Made to Order is available from all branches except selected Convenience stores.

We reserve the right to restrict deliveries in certain areas. This includes the right to withdraw our services to individual customers' addresses if you are repeatedly unavailable to take delivery of your shopping at your chosen slot time or in other exceptional circumstances.

In the interests of ensuring all our customers have the opportunity to shop with us, we reserve the right to limit both delivery and collection slots, particularly during busy periods such as Christmas.

Delivery and collection arrangements
Deliveries and collection times vary by branch. At the point at which you place your order, the full list of available delivery/collection times will be shown. 

Products must be signed for at the delivery address (or upon collection), by you or by your nominated representative.  Products will not be left unattended, for example in a garage. If, in the unfortunate situation no one is available to accept and sign for your delivery your order will be cancelled and you will receive a full refund.

If Waitrose & Partners delivers outside the specified delivery period and no one is available to accept the products, your order will be cancelled and the cost of your order will be refunded to you.

Deliveries will always be made to your front door where possible. Where required, if invited and if it is safe for them to do so, our drivers may enter to help with your delivery. However, we reserve the right to refuse entry or to deliver directly to your door if our driver, on rare occasions, believes it is impractical or unsafe. In such cases, our driver will contact you for a suitable alternative. When the delivery address is a commercial premises, our driver will deliver your shopping to the ground floor communal entrance and contact you for collection. See our Delivery Information section for more information.

If your nominated representative is not aged 18 or above, we will not deliver any products, including those that are Restricted Items (as defined in section 1 "Use of the website" above).  Our drivers apply our "Challenge 25 Policy" and so proof of age will be requested if the person receiving the products looks under 25 years old.

Pursuant to the Licensing Act 2003 it is an offence for any person under the age of 18 to buy, or attempt to buy, intoxicating liquor, or for any person over the age of 18 to buy intoxicating liquor on behalf of any person under the age of 18, subject to a maximum fine on conviction of £1,000.

Waitrose.com is committed to upholding both their legal and social obligations as a retailer of intoxicating liquor and other Restricted Items. In order to achieve this, Waitrose.com has introduced a number of control checks throughout the purchase and physical distribution process (e.g. confirming your date of birth and requesting formal identification of anyone who they consider to be younger than the relevant age (i.e. 25 years old pursuant to our Challenge 25 Policy) who is a buyer or recipient of the delivery.

In accepting these Terms and Conditions you agree to provide Waitrose & Partners with truthful and accurate information and act in accordance with them and legal obligations including the Licensing Act of 2003. For the purposes of the Licensing Act 2003, any alcohol included in your order will be appropriated by you to the contract at the same central, licensed premises at which your payment is taken and where the contract for sale is made. This simply means that the sale of any alcohol included in your order will take place at such premises. This has no practical effect on you other than to improve our fulfilment of your orders that contain alcohol, nor does it impact on our policies aimed at preventing deliveries of alcohol to minors. 

Your other legal rights to refund, repair or replacement under consumer laws

Under consumer laws in the United Kingdom, we must supply our goods to you as described, fit for purpose and they must be of satisfactory quality. If we supply services to you, then we must supply them with reasonable care and skill.

During the expected lifespan of the product your legal rights under consumer laws in the United Kingdom entitle you to the following:

- up to six months: if your goods can't be repaired or replaced, then you're entitled to a full refund, in most cases.

- over six months: if a fault develops after the first 6 months then you may be able to claim a refund or have the product repaired or replaced. However, we may require proof that the product is faulty.

- up to six years: if your goods do not last a reasonable length of time you may be entitled to some money back.

Online purchases: Customers must inform the retailer that they wish to cancel within 14 days of receiving the goods. Customers then have 14 days to return the goods once the retailer has been informed. Refunds will be given within 14 days of receiving the goods back.

If you have not agreed a time beforehand, then it must be carried out within a reasonable time.

If you wish to exercise your legal rights to reject products you must return them in person to us (either where you bought them or post them back to us or, if they are not suitable for posting, allow us to collect them from you).  We will pay the costs of postage or collection.

There may be some exceptions to these rights such as for those products and services listed below where, for reasons of hygiene, safety or under law we are not able to refund or exchange items unless faulty, not as described, not fit for purpose or of satisfactory quality:   Chilled and Frozen Products (including Food Made To Order); Baby Food and Milk; Gift Cards, Vouchers and e-top ups; Fireworks; Lottery Tickets and Scratch Cards; Tobacco, Cigarettes, Tobacco Products and Cigars; unsealed DVDs, CDs or Video Games, Unsealed Earrings or Hair Accessories; Unsealed Bedding.

If you wish to exercise your right of cancellation for products that you have ordered online, you are obliged to retain possession of the products and take reasonable care of them or return them to us. 

If you decide to cancel products that you have ordered online, we will reimburse to you (to the debit or credit card assigned to your order) the amount in relation to products to which cancellation rights apply. This includes the cost of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you choose a type of delivery other than our standard and least expensive method of delivery). We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any products supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.  We will make the reimbursement no later than 14 days after the day we receive back from you any products supplied.

The Waitrose & Partners online food shopping service uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology to encrypt your details as they are being transmitted to us.  This technology is designed to minimise the risk that someone else could breach your privacy when shopping online with us.

We provide you with an option to store your card details with us, so that you can order from us again without needing to type your details in. To assist to keep your card information secure, we only display the last four digits of your stored card number on our website to you, when logged into your 'My Waitrose' account. If you do not wish to store your card details with us, you can instead enter these in each time you place an order with the Waitrose & Partners online food shopping service.

Your payment details are held by us in a secure encrypted server and access to this data is secured internally within Waitrose & Partners. We encrypt card numbers by using a security system which is a common standard relied on by the main financial and banking institutions called Triple DES (Data Encryption Standard). 

If there are errors or shortages in what we supply to you, we ask that these are brought to the attention of Waitrose & Partners Customer Care Team (using the contact details set out above in section 1) as soon as possible and preferably within seven days after the delivery or collection. 

Waitrose & Partners may decline to fulfill any order or we may limit the number of units of products per customer or order (including for any bulk purchases of items on promotion or special offers).

You have the right to reject any substitutes offered and we will refund the amount that you have been charged for that product.

The prices stated on the site are inclusive of any VAT payable.
