How the contract is formed between you and us

After completing the subscription or order process on our website, you will receive an email from us acknowledging that we have received your order. Please note that this does not mean that an order has been accepted.

An order will only relate to the product or service you have ordered or subscribed to. Each order that we accept results in a separate binding agreement between you and us for the supply of these products or service. For each order accepted by us, we will supply the products or service in that order to you in accordance with these Terms and Conditions.

Acceptance or Rejection of an order

We, Fat Bastard Pies, reserve the right to accept or reject an order for any reason. Including if the requested product is not available or these is an error in the price, or the product description posted on the site or in an order.

We reserve the right to cancel an order for any reason whatsoever. There will be no charge where we cancel or reject and order, unless you have breached these Terms and Conditions. If we cancel or reject an order, we will endeavour to notify you at the time you place an order or within 7 (seven) days after you submit and order. We may at our discretion suspend or terminate the ability for any customer to order through the website for any reason whatsoever.

If we refuse an order on or prior to delivery but after our relevant weekly order cut-off, a full refund, less and discounts, will be made within 10 (ten) business days.

Resale

You are not permitted to purchase any items for resale to a third party or for trade purposes. If we have a concern with the quantity of the item/s you have ordered, we will endeavour to contact you when you place an order or within 7 (seven) days after you submit and order. We reserve the right to cancel or reject and order if we believe you are purchasing with the intent for resale.

Subscription Management

Fat Bastard Pies, Pie Club is a subscription service. We will deliver until you tell us not to. You can choose to adjust, skip or remove (indefinitely) at any time before your cut off date. There is no minimum term, you will not be charged a cancellation fee. You can re-subscribe at any time following your cancellation, but we reserve the right not to permit re-subscription. We reserve the right to terminate your subscription at our reasonable discretion at any time and without giving any reasons for our decision. If you wish to cancel an order after the order cut-off for the upcoming delivery week, we have no obligation to cancel your order and/or refund you any money.

When you place an order for a subscription product, you enter into an agreement to receive the product on an ongoing basis. You will be charged for your initial order at the first relevant order cut off date. Subsequent recurring orders will be charged following the relevant weekly order cut-off, without further authorisation from you, unless you have cancelled or otherwise modified your subscription or delivery preferences as outlined in these Terms and Conditions.  

By subscribing to the services, you are agreeing to receive our product on a recurring basis for an indefinite period until cancelled by you or us as set out in these Terms and Conditions. The subscription amount and billing interval are set out on the checkout page, confirmation correspondence, and the customer login area of the website.

The cut off day and time for all subscription adjustments (ordering, skipping, restarting, altering, address or payment change or cancelling) is on the Sunday 24:00 hours (midnight) the week before the relevant delivery date.

If your delivery date falls on a public holiday, we may need to deliver to you on a different day. If that happens, we will let you know in advance.

Please take care when placing your order. We accept no liability or responsibility for incorrectly placed orders. Nor do we accept liability or responsibility for delivery details which are incorrectly supplied, or which you fail to supply.

It is possible that an error may be present on an invoice or on our website. If you become aware of this, please let us know.

If you are overcharged for any box ordered, Fat Bastard Pies will refund you the necessary adjustment amount to reflect the correct amount that should have been invoiced. We will refund you at your option by either crediting your credit/debit card, or alternatively by crediting your account balance in your online account. Any credit applied to your account in non-transferable and cannot be exchanged or refunded for cash.

If you are undercharged, we will let you know and you will have to pay the amount owing.

Product Availability

Fat Bastard Pies will make every effort to fulfil orders placed with the website. However, subject to any rights you have under the CGA, we will not be liable to any person if we are unable, or decline, to supply product for any reason whatsoever, other than to refund the amounts paid in respect of the product.

We reserve the right to limit quantities able to be order by customers; or limit quantities able to be delivered to customers. If a customer’s order is reduced in accordance with this clause, the price payable by you for that order will be adjusted or you may be refunded. We reserve the right to alter recipes or ingredients due to product quality or stock availability.

Product Quality

In establishing that a product was damaged or spoiled on delivery to you, we may require photographic evidence and/or a sample of the damaged or spoiled product.

If Fat Bastard Pies agrees that a product was delivered to you in a damaged or spoiled condition, Fat Bastard Pies will, subject to any rights you have under the CGA, either credit the value of the relevant product to you or (if we can) send a replacement product to you by courier; or provide you with a refund.

We will credit or refund you by either crediting the credit or debit card that was used to place the order or, alternatively, crediting your account balance in your online account. Any credit applied to your account is non-transferable and cannot be exchanged or refunded for cash.

Heating

Reheat times are indicative only and individual customer results may vary.

Nutritional Information/Allergens

All our nutrition information provided is an approximation. This is based off purchased ingredients and volumes combined with the most common household ingredient brands, using recipe volumes. All information is calculated as accurately as possible. We are not able to customise individual pies based on preference, dietary, cultural or religious requirements.

Allergens are declared on products; however, all products are made in the same facility and may contain traces. You must take care and have all responsibility for checking the ingredients.

Delivery

This website is only intended for use by people residing in urban New Zealand addresses. We do not accept orders from individuals outside those areas. Customers must provide a valid email address and debit/credit card for all orders accepted online. We do not accept orders by phone. We cannot currently deliver to addresses deemed rural by Post Haste.

As part of the Fat Bastard Pies ordering and registration process, you will be immediately advised if we are able to deliver to your address. Specific delivery locations are accepted based on the suburb and postcode of the delivery address and so it is important that you provide us with your correct address information. If you do not, then we may not be able to deliver to you. Please take care when specifying your delivery address as refunds will not be given if you enter an address incorrectly.

Fat Bastard Pies may from time to time change the areas to which it delivers. We do not guarantee that delivery to your area will always be available or that every possible delivery date or delivery timeframe will be offered to you based on your requested delivery address.

Change of Address

Changes to address details and/or delivery instructions must be communicated via the methods and by the cut-offs outlined in these Terms and Conditions. If your address change is no longer considered urban by Post Haste, Fat Bastard Pies reserves the right to cancel your order.

Liability

Deliveries will, subject to these Terms and Conditions, be made to the delivery address on the delivery date. Fat Bastard Pies shall be entitled to assume that any person accepting delivery of the products is either the customer or someone that is authorised to do so on behalf of the customer.

You must ensure that your delivery address is easily accessible to Fat Bastard Pie’s delivery person, and that it is safe for our delivery person to enter your premises in order to complete the delivery. If, in our delivery person's reasonable opinion, the delivery address is not easily accessible, or it is unsafe to deliver the products, your order may be canceled. We reserve the right to charge you an additional fee in respect of Fat Bastard Pie’s costs incurred in relation to any deliveries repeated in accordance with this clause.

Authority to leave

In the situation where it is safe to complete delivery but there is no person present at the delivery address at the time of delivery, or you or any other person fails or refuses to take delivery of the box, the box will be left at the delivery address and be deemed to have been delivered at that point in time. If you do not provide a specific place for delivery, we will leave the products at your front door.

Once delivered, you are responsible for the contents of the box. We accept no liability or responsibility for any product once the product has been delivered to you.  Our pies are packaged in thermal packaging which is designed to keep items chilled for the duration of the delivery. Please be aware that, depending on the season and temperature at the time of delivery, we recommend unpacking your items as soon as possible to maintain freshness. Advance planning may be required by you to ensure proper storage of your pies prior to consumption. In the situation where you, as the customer, have provided written delivery instructions via the “Account Details - Delivery Instructions” section of the website, we will endeavour to deliver the box in accordance with these instructions. Where sensitive information is provided e.g., gate entrance codes, we endeavour to keep this information safe and only disclose it to those who require it for delivery purposes.

Delivery Times

Fat Bastard Pies always aims to deliver on time but may from time to time be delayed.

If Fat Bastard Pies becomes aware that the delivery of your order is likely to be substantially delayed, Fat Bastard Pies will contact you (via phone, text, email or your online account) to arrange an alternative delivery timeframe. If that timeframe is unacceptable to you, you may decline to accept the order and Fat Bastard Pies will either refund you or credit you with the cost of that box. We will credit you by either crediting the credit or debit card that was used to place the order, or alternatively crediting your account balance in your online account. Any credit applied to your account is non-transferable and cannot be exchanged or refunded for cash.

Incorrectly or Undelivered Products

If any product or box delivered does not correspond with a product or box ordered, you can keep the incorrectly-delivered product or box, in which case no adjustment will be made to the payment due from you for the order containing the incorrect product or box; or in the case of an incorrectly delivered product, reject the incorrectly-delivered product, in which case, Fat Bastard Pies will refund the value of the product that was originally ordered; or in the case of an incorrectly delivered box, Fat Bastard Pies will either replace that box within a reasonable time (if we can) or refund the value of the box that was originally ordered.

We will refund you by either crediting the credit or debit card that was used to place the order, or alternatively crediting your account balance in your online account. Any credit applied to your account is non-transferable and cannot be exchanged or refunded for cash.

If you choose to reject an incorrectly delivered box in accordance with clause above, Fat Bastard Pies reserves the right to collect the incorrectly delivered box from you. If you are unable, or refuse, to deliver up the box when requested, or deliver the box in a different state (e.g., with some products missing or partially consumed) than the state in which it was delivered to you, Fat Bastard Pies reserves the right to charge you for part or all of that box.

Nothing in this clause affects your rights under the CGA.

Refunds

Our Products come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the New Zealand Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 (the CGA). If you consider that any products sent to you are damaged, or defective or fail to comply with any guarantees in the CGA, you can notify us, and we will examine the received digital or physical evidence of the defective product and will notify you of the outcome via email within 14 days. If your refund is approved, we will process the refund within 14 days of the day we confirmed to you via email that you were entitled to a refund.

If you seek a refund for any other reason, please contact us via email [email protected] and we will consider each request at our reasonable discretion. We will notify you of the outcome of your refund request via email within 14 days. If your refund is approved, we will process the refund within 14 days of the day we confirmed to you via email that you were entitled to a refund.

We will usually refund any money received from you using the same method originally used by you to pay for your purchase.

Please take care when specifying your delivery address as refunds will not be provided for if you enter an address incorrectly.
