Once You have placed an order on the Site We will send You an order acknowledgement by email setting out what You have ordered and the price of Your order. This is not an order confirmation or acceptance from Us. A legally binding contract with You will only arise once We have completed Delivery of the goods to You.

3.2.2 These terms regulate the supply of goods to You by ARCHIE’S DOG TREATS. Any other terms, conditions or representations (other than those made fraudulently or implied by statute) are excluded.

If a new price or promotion is in place after You have placed Your order for example, a multi-buy offer or price reduction which may be advertised on the packaging of goods you have ordered, these prices and promotions will not be applied to Your order.
3.3.2 When ordering certain items such as fruit and vegetables it will be by weight. As it is difficult to select loose items such as these to an exact weight, when You order these items We’ll charge You for the actual weight picked – and We always try and get as near as possible to the weight You ordered.

We will verify Your card for 1p each time You amend Your order. It is important to point out that this pre-authorisation is NOT a charge to Your card and will not be billed to You. Your card issuer may hold this amount for a short period, but this will never be taken from Your account.
3.3.6 On the day of Delivery we will request a pre-authorisation for the amount of Your order at the time it was checked out, which is the amount shown to You when You confirm Your online order. We do this to ensure that the card details are still valid and that You have sufficient funds to complete the transaction. We take NO payments from Your account before Your order is Delivered.
3.3.7 We will debit the total value of Your checked out order once it has been Delivered. However, if there are differences between Your checked out order and the contents of Your Delivered, an adjustment will need to be made to the amount debited from Your debit or credit card.
