ORDERS
Orders for Catering Services should be placed by 12:00 noon on the Day prior to the required delivery Day. We may be able to accommodate same Day orders. If Catering Services are required on Weekend Days, at least 48 hours notice must be given as special arrangements will need to be made with You. We will endeavour to supply exactly the Order placed on the Order Form. Where you do not specify particular details of products, e.g. types of sandwich fillings We will supply a selection at Our discretion. Where You have requested something specific We will do Our best to ensure its provision, however We cannot guarantee this and will provide an alternative at our discretion.

DELIVERY
Although it is rare that Orders are not delivered within Your preferred time as specified on the Order Form, time is not of the essence of the contract between You and Us and this cannot be guaranteed. Where You have requested Catering Services on Weekend Days a delivery charge may be added at Our discretion.

INVOICE
An invoice will be sent soon after an Order is delivered. Unless other payment terms have been agreed with Us in writing, payment is due on receipt of invoice. If any sum payable to Us in respect of the Order is overdue then We reserve the right to charge interest at 9% prorated per day from 14 days after the invoice date until paid. We reserve the right to charge up to a maximum of £10.00 per request for statements or copy invoices.

Our entire liability under or in connection with Your Order shall not exceed Our invoiced charges for the Order.

CHANGES IN CHARGES
We may vary Our charges from time to time and You will be bound to pay the then current charges in respect of each Order. We will endeavour to forward You an amended Menu as soon as practicable following any such change.

EQUIPMENT
The Equipment is and remains Our property. We are allowing You to use the Equipment only in connection with the provision of Our Catering Services. We will endeavour to collect Our Equipment within 24 hours of the time of delivery of Your Order. Whilst the Equipment is on Your premises You are responsible for loss of or damage to the Equipment and We shall at Our discretion be entitled to replace or repair the Equipment at Your cost. The terms and conditions applicable to invoices for Orders will apply similarly to an invoice in respect of repair or replacement of any Equipment.

FORCE MAJEURE
We shall not be deemed to be in breach of Our contract with You or otherwise be liable to You by reason of any delay in performance or non-performance to the extent that such delay or non-performance is due to Force Majeure.
