Contracts
with vendors for products
Contracts with vendors.
We are not a vendor, a seller, or any kind of agent or intermediary for
you or any of the vendors that make products available to you through
the Shopappy™ website. We do not sell the products available
through the Shopappy™ website and are not responsible for any part
of the contract for the supply of products by any vendor. So we’re
not responsible for their products or for any delivery, returns,
refunds, guarantees, warranties or other after-sale care or for any
related problems you may suffer. You will need to make your own
independent judgement regarding your interaction with any vendor
including the purchase and use of any products made available by
them.
How vendors will accept your order
A vendor's acceptance of your order for products will take
place when we email you to notify you of their acceptance, at which
point a contract will come into existence between you and the relevant
vendor.
If a vendor cannot accept your order.
If a vendor is unable to accept your order, the vendor will inform you
of this and will not charge you for the relevant product or, where
applicable, refund you the price paid for the product within a
reasonable period of time. This might be because the product is out of
stock, because of unexpected limits on a vendor's resources which
the vendor could not reasonably plan for, because the vendor has
identified an error in the price or description of the product or
because the vendor is unable to meet a pick up or delivery time you have
specified.
Where to find the price for the product or
services. The price of the vendor's products (which includes
VAT) will be the price indicated on the order pages when you placed your
order. Vendors will take all reasonable care to ensure that the price of
the product advised to you is correct.
Products may vary
slightly from their pictures. The images of vendor's products
on Shopappy™ website are for illustrative purposes only and in the
case of fresh foods are taken from a general image library. Although
vendors have made every effort to display the colours accurately,
vendors cannot guarantee that a device's display of the colours
accurately reflects the colour of the products. Your product may vary
slightly from those images.
Your rights to make
changes. If you wish to make a change to the product you have
ordered please contact the relevant vendor. They will let you know if
the change is possible. If it is possible they will let you know about
any changes to the price of the product, the timing of supply or
anything else which would be necessary as a result of your requested
change and ask you to confirm whether you wish to go ahead with the
change.
Click and Collect and costs.
The relevant vendor that supplies you with the products will ensure they are ready for you to collect as agreed if you chose the click and collect option. If you have any questions about or issues with your click and collect point, please contact the relevant vendor supplying the product(s) to you. There is no charge for collecting products ordered at a single point or for collecting products from the vendor directly. Collection points are provided by third parties and are not the responsibility of ShopAppy
Delivery and Delivery costs.
The relevant vendor that supplies you with the products will ensure they are delivered as agreed if you chose the delivery option. If you have any questions about or issues with your delivery partner, please contact the relevant vendor supplying the product(s) to you. Delivery costs, if applicable, will be shown and charged at the time you place your order. Delivery is provided by third parties and is not the responsibility of ShopAppy.
The relevant vendor that supplies you with the products will ensure they are posted as agreed at the time of purchase. If you have any questions about or issues with your delivery, please contact the relevant vendor supplying the product(s) to you. Postage and packing costs, if applicable, will be shown and charged at the time you place your order. Postage is provided by third parties and are not the responsibility of ShopAppy.
When vendors will provide the products.
During the order process we will let you choose a time when you can
pick up the products or when you can expect them to be delivered. If you
have selected postage and packing the delivery time will depend upon the
postage and packing supplier used by each individual retailer on the
site.
If you do not pick up your products or accept delivery
at the specified time, then you should contact the delivery partner,
vendor or collection point directly, as applicable. You will still be
liable for payment of products if you fail to collect, or accept
delivery of, the items.
If you are entitled to a
refund.
If you are entitled to a refund in relation to the products supplied by a vendor, the vendor will make the relevant refund to you. Each vendor's refund policy is available on its page on the Shopappy™ website.
If you are unable to contact the vendor, please contact ShopAppy on
