4. User Registration

You may be required to register to use the Services. You agree to keep your password confidential and will be responsible for all use of your account and password. We reserve the right to remove, reclaim, or change a username you select if we determine, in our sole discretion, that such username is inappropriate, obscene, or otherwise objectionable.

5. Products

We make every effort to display as accurately as possible the colours, features, specifications, and details of the products available on the Services. However, we do not guarantee that the colours, features, specifications, and details of the products will be accurate, complete, reliable, current, or free of other errors, and your electronic display may not accurately reflect the actual colours and details of the products. All products are subject to availability, and we cannot guarantee that items will be in stock. We reserve the right to discontinue any products at any time for any reason. Prices for all products are subject to change.

5b. Allergen Information & Dietary Requirements

We take allergen requests seriously. Please notify us of any dietary requirements when booking. We cannot guarantee a completely allergen-free environment but will take all reasonable precautions to accommodate your requirements. If your requirements change after booking, please notify us as soon as possible and no later than 7 days before the event.

6. Purchases and Payment

We accept the following forms of payment:

• Visa
• Mastercard
• Apple Pay
• Google Pay
• Cash

Payments are processed securely by Square (squareup.com).

You agree to provide current, complete, and accurate purchase and account information for all purchases made via the Services. You further agree to promptly update account and payment information, including email address, payment method, and payment card expiration date, so that we can complete your transactions and contact you as needed. Retail and shop products include VAT where applicable. We may change prices at any time. All payments shall be in pounds sterling (GBP).

You agree to pay all charges at the prices then in effect for your purchases and any applicable shipping fees, and you authorise us to charge your chosen payment provider for any such amounts upon placing your order. We reserve the right to correct any errors or mistakes in pricing, even if we have already requested or received payment.

We reserve the right to refuse any order placed through the Services. We may, in our sole discretion, limit or cancel quantities purchased per person, per household, or per order. These restrictions may include orders placed by or under the same customer account, the same payment method, and/or orders that use the same billing or shipping address. We reserve the right to limit or prohibit orders that, in our sole judgement, appear to be placed by dealers, resellers, or distributors.

7. Return, Refund & Cancellation Policy

Due to the perishable nature of our food products, buffets and catering items are non-refundable once delivered or once on-site cooking has commenced.

Deposits

A non-refundable deposit of 30% of the total quoted price is required to secure your event date. The remaining balance is due no later than 7 days before the event date, unless otherwise agreed in writing.

Cancellation by You

• More than 28 days before the event: deposit forfeited; no further charge.
• 14–28 days before the event: 50% of the total quoted price is payable.
• Less than 14 days before the event: 100% of the total quoted price is payable.
• Cancellations must be made in writing (email accepted).

Christmas & New Year bookings

Bookings for events between 1 and 31 December and on 1 January are subject to the following cancellation terms in place of those above. December dates are booked months ahead, and a cancelled December date cannot realistically be re-booked, so our costs are committed earlier in the year than for other dates.

• More than 60 days before the event: deposit forfeited; no further charge.
• 28–60 days before the event: 50% of the total quoted price is payable.
• Fewer than 28 days before the event: 100% of the total quoted price is payable.
• Cancellations must be made in writing (email accepted).

Where we are able to re-book your date, we will refund the difference between what you have paid and our actual committed costs. Nothing in these terms affects your statutory rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015.

Hampers & gift orders

Hampers are made to order and are picked and packed against your requested delivery date.

• More than 7 days before the requested delivery date: cancel for a full refund.
• Within 7 days of the requested delivery date: we have bought in and packed your produce, so the order is non-refundable where the hamper contains fresh or chilled items (for example cheese, clotted cream or bakery).
• Hampers of ambient items only (for example chutneys, preserves, biscuits and bottles) may be returned unopened within 14 days of delivery for a full refund; return postage is yours unless the order was faulty or incorrect.
• Once dispatched, hampers containing fresh or chilled items cannot be returned for hygiene and food-safety reasons.
• If a hamper arrives damaged or incorrect, contact us within 48 hours at info@saltwind.catering and we will replace it or refund you in full.

This does not affect your statutory rights, including your right to a refund for faulty or misdescribed goods.

Cancellation by Us

If we need to cancel due to circumstances beyond our reasonable control (e.g. severe weather making the venue unsafe, vehicle breakdown), we will offer a full refund of all monies paid or reschedule at no extra cost. We will not be liable for any consequential losses. Nothing in this policy affects your statutory rights as a consumer under the Consumer Rights Act 2015.

Changes to Your Order

Changes to guest numbers, menu selections, or event details can be made up to 7 days before the event at no extra charge, subject to availability. Changes requested within 7 days may incur additional costs.

Right to Cancel (Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013)

Where this contract is for catering services for a leisure event on a specific date, it falls within the exception at Regulation 28(1)(h) of the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013. Accordingly, the standard 14-day right to cancel does not apply to event catering bookings made with us. The cancellation terms set out above in this section (“Cancellation by You” and “Christmas & New Year bookings”) govern your right to cancel those bookings.

Hampers and gift orders are goods rather than event catering, and are treated separately. Hampers containing fresh or chilled items fall within the exception at Regulation 28(1)(d) (goods liable to deteriorate or expire rapidly) and cannot be returned once dispatched. Hampers of ambient items only are not covered by that exception, and your 14-day right to cancel applies as set out under “Hampers & gift orders” above.

Your statutory rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 are not affected.

These Legal Terms shall remain in full force and effect while you use the Services. WITHOUT LIMITING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THESE LEGAL TERMS, WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO, IN OUR SOLE DISCRETION AND WITHOUT NOTICE OR LIABILITY, DENY ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE SERVICES (INCLUDING BLOCKING CERTAIN IP ADDRESSES), TO ANY PERSON FOR ANY REASON OR FOR NO REASON, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION FOR BREACH OF ANY REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY, OR COVENANT CONTAINED IN THESE LEGAL TERMS OR OF ANY APPLICABLE LAW OR REGULATION.

These Legal Terms are governed by and interpreted following the laws of England and Wales, and the use of the United Nations Convention of Contracts for the International Sales of Goods is expressly excluded. If your habitual residence is in the EU, and you are a consumer, you additionally possess the protection provided to you by obligatory provisions of the law in your country of residence. Salt Wind Catering and yourself both agree to submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales, which means that you may make a claim to defend your consumer protection rights in regards to these Legal Terms in the United Kingdom, or in the EU country in which you reside.

17. Dispute Resolution

Informal Negotiations

To expedite resolution and control the cost of any dispute, controversy, or claim related to these Legal Terms (each a 'Dispute' and collectively, the 'Disputes') brought by either you or us (individually, a 'Party' and collectively, the 'Parties'), the Parties agree to first attempt to negotiate any Dispute (except those Disputes expressly provided below) informally for at least thirty (30) days before initiating formal proceedings. Such informal negotiations commence upon written notice from one Party to the other Party.

Formal Dispute Resolution

If informal negotiations do not resolve the Dispute, either Party may bring proceedings in the courts of England and Wales, as set out in Section 16 above. Nothing in this section limits your statutory rights as a consumer.

Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR)

In the unlikely event of an unresolved dispute, you may refer the matter to an Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) scheme. We are not obligated to use ADR but are happy to consider it in appropriate cases. For online disputes, the EU/UK Online Dispute Resolution platform is available at ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr, note this applies to online sales only.

24. Miscellaneous

These Legal Terms and any policies or operating rules posted by us on the Services or in respect to the Services constitute the entire agreement and understanding between you and us.
