    • 2.1.1  apply to and be incorporated in the Contract; and

    • 2.1.2  prevail over any inconsistent terms or conditions contained in or referred to in your Order, confirmation of order, or specification, or implied by law, trade custom, practice or course of dealing.

3. REGISTRATION AND ACCOUNT SECURITY

  • 3.1  You may only open one user account on the Website. When registering for an account on the Website you agree to provide accurate, current and complete information and to promptly update the information that you provide to us when it changes.

  • 3.2  If you choose, or you are provided with, a password or any other piece of information as part of our security procedures, you must treat such information as confidential, and you must not disclose it to any third party. We have the right to disable, suspend or restrict any user identification name or salt, whether chosen by you or allocated by us, at any time, at our discretion, including if, in our opinion, you have failed to comply with any of the provisions of these Conditions.

  • 3.3  You may not: (i) enter, select or use an email address owned or controlled by another person with the intent to impersonate that person; or, (ii) use a name or credit card without appropriate authorisation. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to refuse registration of, suspend or cancel an account on the Website, without notice, or to test the veracity of email addresses provided to us by you, at any time. You shall be responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and are fully responsible for all activities that occur under your user name and salt. Any user identification name and salt chosen or provided to you for your access to the Website shall be for your personal use only and is non-transferable.

  • 3.4  You agree to (a) immediately notify us of any unauthorised use of your user identification name and password that you use to login to the Website, or any other breach of security that might impact on your use or our use of the Website; and (b) ensure that you exit from your account at the end of each session. We cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with this section.

4. BASIS OF SALE AND YOUR ORDERS

  • 4.1  As a condition of your access and use of our Website and/or placing Orders, you warrant to us that you have the right, authority and capacity to enter into and be bound by the Contract.

  • 4.2  Each Order for a Topper by you shall be an offer by you to Intercake to purchase the Topper subject to these Conditions and in return for your payment of the Price.

  • 4.3  When you opt to purchase a Topper you will be required to provide an Order to us using the Website and containing certain personal, payment and other details:

  • 4.4  Any information that you provide to us for the purpose of making an Order for the purchase of a Topper must be fully complete and accurate, including by ensuring that you have:

    • 4.4.1  selected the correct Topper size;

    • 4.4.2  selected the correct number of Toppers to be purchased;

    • 4.4.3  uploaded the correct Image to appear on the Topper;

    • 4.4.4  entered the correct message to appear on the Topper;

    • 4.4.5  inputted the correct delivery information; and

    • 4.4.6  inputted the correct payment details for the Price.

  • 4.5 Confirmation and Dispatch: After placing an Order on our Website, we shall send you a written confirmation of your Order to you (the "Confirmation"). This Confirmation is an acknowledgment that we have received your Order, but does not constitute acceptance by us of your Order or creation of a Contract. Our acceptance of your Order will take place when we email you that we have dispatched your Order (a "Dispatch Email"). A binding contract shall not come into existence between Intercake and you unless and until Intercake issues a Dispatch Email to you.

  • 4.6 You are also responsible for ensuring that the Confirmation and the Dispatch Email for the purchase of a Topper issued by Intercake to you each set out completely and accurately the Topper which you wish to purchase and that it is consistent with your Order including the information described at Clause 4.4.

  • 4.7 Rejection of an Order: If we are unable to accept your Order, we will inform you of this in writing, by email or via the Website and will not charge you for the Topper. This might be because the Topper that you have requested is out of stock, because of unexpected limits on our resources which we could not reasonably plan for, because your attempted payment has failed, because we have identified an error in the price or description of the Topper, because we are unable to meet a delivery deadline you have specified or because any content you upload breaches our content rules.

5. WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF YOU DO NOT GIVE REQUIRED INFORMATION TO US?

  • 5.1 Information Required: We may need certain information from you so that we can supply a Topper to you. If so, this will have been stated in the description of a Topper and the prerequisites for an Order as stated on our Website; see also Clause 4.4. We may also contact you by phone or in writing to ask for this information or to confirm your Order.

  • 5.2 Outstanding Information: If you do not give us the information referred to in Clause 5.1 within a reasonable time of us asking for it, or if you give us incomplete or incorrect information (including in your Order), we may either end the Contract or make an additional charge of a reasonable sum to compensate us for any extra work that is required as a result. We will not be responsible for supplying a Topper late or not supplying any Topper if this is caused by you not giving us the information we need within a reasonable time of us asking for it, including through the Order process or via the Website.

6. NO CANCELLATION

  • 6.1 No Order for which we have issued a Dispatch Email may be cancelled by you as this Contract is a contract for the supply of goods that are clearly personalised; we customise Toppers to your specification.

7. QUANTITY AND DESCRIPTION

  • 7.1 The quantity and description of the Topper(s) to be purchased shall be as set out in our Confirmation of your Order.

  • 7.2 All samples, drawings, descriptive matter, specifications and advertising issued by Intercake, including of any Topper, and any descriptions or illustrations contained on our Website, catalogues, brochures, marketing or advertising, are issued or published for illustrative purposes only and you agree they do not form part of the Contract with you.

  • 7.3 The images of Toppers on our website are for illustrative purposes only. Although we have made every effort to display the colours accurately, we cannot guarantee that a screen/device's display of the colours accurately reflects the colour of a Topper. Your Topper may vary slightly from those images displayed on the Website.

  • 7.4 Any typographical, clerical or other error or omission in any sales literature, quotation, price list, acceptance of offer, Confirmation, Dispatch Email, invoice or other document or information issued by Intercake (including on the Website) shall be subject to correction without any liability on the part of Intercake.

  • 7.5 Intercake reserves the right (but does not assume the obligation) to make any changes in the specification of a Topper (i) which are required to conform with any applicable laws; or (ii) where a Topper is to be supplied to your specification, which do not materially affect its quality or performance.

  • 7.6 Intercake's employees, contractors and agents are not authorised to make any representations or contractually binding statements concerning a Topper or this Contract.

8. PRICES AND THE COSTS OF DELIVERY

  • 8.1 Costs of Delivery: The Price of a Topper does not include the costs of delivery. The costs of delivery of Toppers to various locations will be as displayed to you on our Website, from time to time and in terms of your Order will be as stated on our Confirmation of your Order.

  • 8.2 Prices: All prices of Toppers shall be as stated in our Confirmation of your Order. All Topper prices are inclusive of packaging. However please see clause 8.5 for what happens if we discover an error in the price of the Topper you order.

  • 8.3 Currency:You shall pay the price for a Topper in the currency displayed in the Confirmation.

  • 8.4 VAT, Charges and Duty Changes:You may be liable to pay VAT and other charges and duties (including import duties) on a Topper. We will pass on changes in the rate of VAT and other charges and duties (including import duties) to you, if it applies to an Order that you have made. If the rate of VAT or other charges and duties (including import duties) change between your Order date and the date we supply the Topper, we will adjust the rate of VAT or other charges and duties that you pay, unless you have already paid for the product in full before the change takes effect.

  • 8.5 What happens if we got the price wrong? We take reasonable care to ensure that the price of the product advised to you is correct. It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the Toppers we sell may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices before accepting your Order so that, where the product's correct price at your Order date is less than our stated price at your Order date, we will charge the lower amount. If the products correct price at your Order date is higher than the price stated to you, we will contact you for your instructions before we process your Order and will give you the option of continuing your Order at the correct price or cancelling your Order. If we are unable to contact you using the contact details you provided to us, we will treat the Order as cancelled. If we accept and process your Order where a pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could reasonably have been recognised by you as a mispricing, we may end the Contract and refund you any sums you have paid.

9. WHEN YOU MUST PAY AND HOW YOU MUST PAY

  • 9.1 Credit Card Payments: Online payments for Toppers are processed directly by our third party payments processor, Stripe, and are subject to Stripe’s terms and conditions which you agree to be bound by. Stripe accepts payment for the Toppers with Visa, MasterCard, and American Express card payment. You warrant to us and to Stripe that you are legally and fully entitled to use any credit card used by you for a purchase of the Topper and that such credit card is valid at the date of purchase and sufficient funds are available to cover any charges incurred by you. All card payments are subject to authorisation by the relevant card issuer. You expressly understand and agree that all payment transactions are handled by Stripe and we shall not be liable for any issue regarding payment transactions between you and Stripe. You should review any terms and conditions that apply to your relationship with Stripe to determine what use Stripe may make of your data, or what additional terms and conditions apply to that use that is additional to the use that is envisaged by these Conditions. During the purchasing process you will be asked to complete your payment details and all fields must be completed fully by you. No cash or cheques will be accepted.

  • 9.2 Timing: You must pay for a Topper at the time of placing your Order with one of the accepted credit or debit cards listed in clause 9.1. Payment shall not be deemed to be made until we have received cleared funds for the full amount of your Order. You agree that the time for payment of the price for a Topper shall be of the essence of the Contract.

  • 9.3 We shall invoice you for the Topper at the time we send you the Confirmation

10. DISCOUNTS

  • 10.1 From time to time, Intercake may offer discount codes, which may apply to any, or certain specified purchases made through our Website.

11. WHAT TO DO IF YOU THINK A PRICE IS WRONG

  • 11.1 If you think the Price of your Order is wrong please contact us promptly at info@bigdaycakes.com to let us know.

12. WHAT HAPPENS IF YOUR PAYMENT IS NOT RECEIVED

  • 12.1 If we do not receive your payment in full for the Topper, without prejudice to any other right or remedy available to Intercake, we are entitled to:

13. DELIVERY OF TOPPER

  • 13.1 We use a third party delivery service to deliver your Topper to you. We instruct our third party delivery service to deliver a Topper during the time period specified in the Dispatch Email, but any such delivery period is approximate only and we cannot guarantee when your Topper will arrive. If no dates are so specified, delivery of a Topper shall be within a reasonable time of our acceptance of the Order and issue of a Dispatch Email.

  • 13.2 Time is not of the essence as to the delivery of a Topper and Intercake is not in any circumstances liable for any delay in delivery, however caused. If our supply of a Topper is delayed by an event outside our control then we will endeavour to take steps to minimise the effect of the delay. Provided we do this, we will not be liable for delays caused by the event, but if there is a risk of substantial delay (for example, supplier material shortages, strikes in the delivery service, weather or any other interruption to transport networks) of at least 14 working days from the last day of the anticipated time period for delivery stated in the Dispatch Email then you may contact us to end the contract and to receive a refund for any Topper you have paid for but not received.

  • 13.3 The Topper may be delivered to you in advance of the estimated delivery date given to you. In the Republic of Ireland, delivery shall usually be made during normal business hours from Monday to Friday, 8.00 am to 4.00 pm (excluding bank or public holidays). In the United Kingdom, delivery shall usually take place before 3.00 pm in urban areas and before 4.00 pm in rural areas from Monday to Friday (excluding bank or public holidays).

  • 13.4 You shall be responsible (at your cost) for taking delivery of a Topper.

  • 13.5 If you are not at home when the Topper is delivered. If no one is available at your address to take delivery and a Topper cannot be posted through your letterbox, our delivery service may leave you a note informing you of how to contact them to arrange collection or rearrange delivery

14. RISK AND PROPERTY

  • 14.1 Risk: The Topper shall be at the risk of Intercake until delivery to you at the place of delivery specified in our Confirmation.

    • 17.7.5 the damage or defect to the Topper was caused by improper use or storage (for example, not keeping the Topper in a sealed bag) of the Topper outside its normal application.
