  • 6.2 You may submit orders for Products by using our online ordering facility on the Website. The facility and our communications to you in relation to any order or contract will be in the English language. The facility allows you to review your order and make any corrections before submitting it to us and by submitting the order you confirm that you have made any such corrections.

  • 6.3 Each Product for which you click 'Add to basket' is added to a Shopping Basket facility. You are given the opportunity to review and amend the contents of the Shopping Basket, including removing items added to the Shopping Basket and amending quantities for each item in the Shopping Basket.

  • 6.4 You will only be able to proceed to checkout (by clicking ‘Proceed to Checkout’ on the Shopping Basket page) once you have: (a) selected whether you want to collect from Armando's or receive a delivery - whichever is applicable, (b) successfully checked that we deliver to your postcode, (c) selected a fulfilment date and time, (d) selected a delivery service and (e) removed any products not available for delivery by the selected delivery service.

  • 6.5 After you have clicked 'Proceed to Checkout', but before you have paid for your purchase, the Website still allows you to review all the Products that you have already ordered from us and return to the store where you can make further amendments to the Shopping Basket.

  • 6.6 No order is accepted from you until our Website displays an order confirmation message. This message is displayed after you complete payment

  • 6.7 Your payment of an order amounts to an offer to enter a Contract to buy the Products from us; you cannot then withdraw or cancel your order except as subject to clause 6.15 below.

  • 6.8 If you place an order by telephone, your order will be accepted (or rejected, as the case may be) verbally by our staff. A contract for our sale of Products to you arises on our acceptance of your order.

  • 6.9 All orders will also be confirmed to you by email.

  • 6.10 Where we accept an order, we do all that we can to ensure that your order is fulfilled. Products are, however, subject to availability and market conditions and for a small subset of Products we do not always know if they will be available at the time of accepting an order. If we are unable to deliver an item you have ordered, we will contact you and may offer a reasonable substitute. You may reject that substitute, and you will not be charged for it. If we do not offer a substitute or you reject our substitute, we will remove the both the original Product and the substitute from your order so that you are not charged for them. We will, however, bear no liability for unavailability of Products.

  • 6.12 All Products offered by us are subject to seasonal changes in supply levels and supply prices.

  • 6.13 Some of our Products are priced by weight but only hand prepared once after we accept your order (for example, some cheese Products are hand-cut). Where this is the case, we will endeavour to provide the Product as close to the ordered weight as possible. Because these Products are hand prepared, the weight you receive may vary from the weight displayed on the Website at the time of the completion of your purchase. If the weight of the Product delivered to you exceeds the displayed weight, we will not charge you more for the additional weight. If the weight of the delivered Product is below the displayed weight, we will refund you the value of the price difference between the paid for weight and the actual weight. Where a product falls under this category of hand prepared products, we will prominently display relevant information on the Product page.

  • 6.14 Some of our Products (for example, some cheese Products) are not prepared by hand or priced by weight, but will have weight variations between like Products. This is how Armando's receives the Products from our third party suppliers. For these Products we will display an average weight on the Product pages. The weight you receive may vary from the weight displayed on the Website at the time of the completion of your purchase. If the weight of the Product delivered to you exceeds the displayed weight, we will not charge you more for the additional weight. If the weight of the delivered Product is below the displayed weight, we will refund you the value of the price difference between the paid for weight and the actual weight.

  • 6.15 We will fulfil (deliver) an order to you (subject to clause 6.10) unless we receive from you a cancellation of your entire order that we are able to meet. You remain responsible for ensuring that any such cancellation is not only transmitted by you, but received by us. We reserve the right to deliver and charge in full for any order where we cannot meet the cancellation request. Any payments you have made for orders which have been properly cancelled will be re-credited to you. Despite the foregoing, if you are a consumer, then you may also cancel the order in accordance with clause 10.3 below insofar as the order is for non-perishable Products or contains non-perishable Products.

  • 6.16 Despite the above provision, you are entitled to cancel a payment for Products where fraudulent use has been made of your payment card by a person not acting, or to be treated as acting, as your agent. If you have already made a payment where your payment card has been fraudulently used, then you should approach your card issuer for re-credit to your card.

  • 6.17 For our retail customers, you warrant that you shall not re-sell any of the Products purchased from Armando's.

  • 6.18 For our retail customers, all prices for Products are inclusive of any applicable VAT at the applicable current rate chargeable in the UK. 

  • 6.19 The prices of our Products do not ALWAYS include delivery fees. Delivery fees MAY be added automatically, where applicable, during checkout depending on the value of the items in your basket, the delivery location, and the delivery service selected by you.

  • 6.20 The images of the Products on our site are for illustrative purposes only, although we have made every effort to display the products accurately. Your Products may vary slightly from those images.

In the event that you give us instructions to leave your delivery in a safe place, we will not accept liability for the order once we have delivered it to the safe place. In the event that a delivery is stolen from your doorstep or damaged while our delivery person is there, we do not accept liability, and will offer compensation at our discretion.

  • 7.7 We reserve the right to refuse to accept orders from any customer. Considerations of delivery problems may give rise to such a refusal.

  • 7.9 We endeavour to keep your delivery day the same, but we reserve the right to change it and will tell you if we do so.

  • 7.10 If we are unable to deliver to you, or have to deliver late, for reasons beyond our control, for example adverse weather conditions, strike actions, vehicle breakdown, traffic congestion or supplier failure, we cannot accept liability for any inconvenience or loss that this causes.

  • 7.13 If nobody is home when your order is delivered by one of our courier services, multiple free of charge delivery attempts may be made by the courier. You will receive an email notifying you that the parcel has been handed over to our courier along with an expected delivery date and time. You will be able to track, rearrange and provide additional instructions directly with our courier. If your order includes chilled products, it is your responsibility to be at the designated delivery address on the date and time of delivery. Armando's will not be responsible for the condition of chilled products due to unsuccessful deliveries because you are not at the designated delivery address on the day of delivery.

  • 7.14 Where we deliver using a courier service, we will endeavour to pack products as carefully as possible to ensure no damage or breakage to both packaging and the interior product.

Disclosure of your Information

We may share your personal information with any member of our group at this time or in the future, which means our subsidiaries, our ultimate holding company and its subsidiaries, as defined in section 1159 of the UK Companies Act 2006.

We may share your information with selected third parties including:

  • Payment gateways and other payment processors

  • Analytics and search engine providers that assist us in the improvement and optimisation of our site

  • Business partners, suppliers and sub-contractors for the performance of any contract we enter into, either with them or with you

We may disclose your personal information to third parties:

  • In the event that we sell or buy any business or assets, in which case we may disclose your personal data to the prospective seller or buyer of such business or assets.

  • If Armando's or substantially all of its assets are acquired by a third party, in which case personal data held by it about its customers will be one of the transferred assets.

  • If we are under a duty to disclose or share your personal data in order to comply with any legal obligation, or in order to enforce or apply our terms of use or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Armando's, our customers, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organisations for the purposes of fraud protection and credit risk reduction.

We will not knowingly sell or otherwise distribute your personal information to third parties, other than under the scenarios described in this section. That is our promise to you. 

​

Where we Store your Personal Information

Our store is hosted on WIX. They provide us with the online e-commerce platform that allows us to sell our products and services to you. Your data is stored through WIX’s data storage, databases and the general Shopify application. They store your data on a secure server behind a firewall. For more insight, you may also want to read WIX’s Privacy Statement.

In order help us meet our contractual obligation to deliver orders to you, your your delivery information may be shared and stored with external courier services and other delivery partners.

For email marketing purposes, we store email addresses and subscription preferences with both WIX and MAIL CHIMP (MAIL CHIMP is our email marketing distribution application).

To enable our operations team to collate orders on a daily basis, send out our own overnight orders to our suppliers, put together delivery routes, and capture internal financial data for our own profitability calculations, we MAY also store your information in a secure database outside of WIX.

The data that we collect from you may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside the European Economic Area ("EEA"). By submitting your personal data, you agree to this transfer, storing or processing. We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this privacy policy.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our site; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.

In particular, remember that certain providers may be located in or have facilities that are located a different jurisdiction than either you or us. So if you elect to proceed with a transaction that involves the services of a third-party service provider, then your information may become subject to the laws of the jurisdiction(s) in which that service provider or its facilities are located.

Data Retention & Storage

We will retain your personal information where we have an ongoing legitimate business need to do so, e.g. while you hold an account with us or to enable us to meet our legal, tax or accounting obligations.

We will destroy or permanently anonymise your personal information at the point that we no longer need to process it for our ongoing legitimate business needs or for any legal reason. If this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store it and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

​

Contacting You

We will contact you via email when you have placed an order with us to confirm your order. We will also notify you via email when your order is out for delivery. In some cases we will outsource the notification to our delivery partners. This can be the courier service we are using to deliver a parcel to you.

We may occasionally need to contact you to enable us to fulfil your order correctly, for example if an item you have ordered is unavailable or if your delivery day needs to be changed. We will normally try to reach you by telephone or email.

We will not send you any marketing messages without your explicit consent. You can choose your marketing preferences on the checkout pages every time you place an order with us. You can also update or change your preferences by contacting our office or unsubscribing from any marketing email directly. We will always honour your updated preferences.

Payments

Security is important to us and we understand that when making payments online you need to have confidence in the website you are transacting through. We have highly secure facilities and processes to put your mind at ease.

We will never have access to any of your card details. At no time will any card details be stored on our website’s servers. At no time will we ask you to save your credit card details with us.

We process all payments through established online payment gateways that are certified to the highest security standards (PCI Level 1 Service Provider). You can confirm their certification in Visa’s Registry of Service Providers.

Armando's payment pages use industry standard Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), i.e. our payment pages begin with "https" and not "http". SSL does two main things: (1) encrypt data being transmitted and (2) verify that our browser is talking to the right payment gateway servers to minimise middle-man interception risk.

As part of the checkout process we MAY undertake the following checks to prevent fraudulent use of cards:

  1. CVC check (card verification code) - The CVV is a 3 or 4 digit number on either the front or the back of a card This check verifies that the customer has entered the correct code as shown on the card, a good indicator that they have the card physically present in their hands when making the order. Card companies forbid the storage of CVV codes, so if a credit card is stolen online it would not be useable.

  2. Address Verification System (AVS) - AVS compares the numeric portion of the customer’s billing address and post code to the information on file with the card issuer. This check is also a useful indicator for determining whether the payment is being made by the genuine card holder.

  3. Country of card issue - This check looks at the IP address of the computer from where the order was made and compares the country of the buyer’s billing address to the country the buyer placed the order from. This is used as an additional check and there's no fixed rule on rejection/acceptance since an order could be placed from abroad if, for example, a person is travelling.
