How the contract is formed between you and the Ethnic Pantry

After placing an order, you will receive an email from us acknowledging that we have received your order. Please note that this does not mean that your order has been accepted. Your order constitutes an offer to us to buy a Product. All orders are subject to availability and acceptance by us, and we will confirm such acceptance to you by sending you an e-mail that confirms that the Product has been dispatched (the "Dispatch Confirmation"). The contract between us ("Contract") will only be formed when we send you the Dispatch Confirmation. We will not process your order until payment has been received in full.

If you make a mistake with your order, you may be able to correct any mistakes made by email prior to your order being processed. If your order has already been processed, you will be unable to amend your order. If your order has already been dispatched, please return the Products to us in accordance with our Returns Policy.

The Contract will relate only to those Products whose dispatch we have confirmed. We will not be obliged to supply any other Products that may have been part of your order until the dispatch of such Products has been confirmed in a separate Dispatch Confirmation.
