EXCEPTIONS – If your order contains any of the following items, the cooling off period does not apply and cannot be returned unless faulty.

1. Fresh food perishable gifts (such as cheese, meat, fish or flowers)
2. Personalised and branded goods
3. Bespoke hampers. If your hamper is purchased using the create your own service or created to your requirements by our sales team.

Hampers that are delivered damaged or have defective contents must be notified to customer services within 48 hrs of delivery. We will send a replacement hamper as soon as possible of the same type or an alternative hamper of the same value or higher will be offered. If another hamper is no longer required a refund will be offered, however we reserve the right for the item to be returned to us first using our return service for further inspection, so we can investigate the issue further.

11. Price and Payment

Payment may be made by Visa/MasterCard, American Express, Maestro or PayPal and should be made with an order unless a credit account has previously been arranged. Payments for an agreed credit account are due 28 days from date of invoice or as specifically agreed and should be paid by bank transfer unless specifically agreed otherwise.

Any discounts agreed on an order will apply only to amounts paid in accordance with the agreed terms and interest will be charged on all overdue accounts at a rate of 1.5% per month.

Prices agreed for offline purchases are agreed on acceptance by Banana Split of a duly authorised purchase order.

Title to goods remains with Banana Split until all sums due are paid in full.

Our hamper range is reviewed regularly but in full in September each year. Purchases on the website(s) will be charged at the prices ruling at the date of the order and will always be charged in pounds sterling (£) inclusive of applicable UK VAT sales tax. We reserve the right to amend prices from time to time.

Orders with a delivery address outside the UK may be subject to opening and inspection by local customs authorities. In respect of such orders the recipient is deemed to be the importer of the goods and must therefore comply with all the laws and regulations of the country into which the goods are being delivered and be subject to import duties and taxes. In the event that our carriers report any such import duties we will agree with you the settlement of such duty.

VAT is payable on hampers despatched from Banana Split dependent upon the country and tax authority of the destination territory, not the country of the customer. VAT is chargeable for hampers despatched to the UK & Europe except for the following countries; Channel Islands, Andorra, Monaco & San Marino. VAT is not charged on any of our items if delivered outside EU Europe, regardless of where you are situated when the item is ordered.

We take advantage of the HMRC rules for the VAT sales tax relating to ‘mixed good supplies’ and to ‘linked goods supplies concession’. These allow VAT, (including that on any despatch cost included in the total hamper price) to be charged in proportion to the amounts of VAT-able and non-VAT-able items in the hamper. The overall VAT rate may therefore be less than 20% or the prevailing standard VAT rate.

You confirm that you are authorised to use the payment method you select. All credit/debit cardholders are subject to validation checks and authorisation by the card issuer. If the issuer of your payment card does not authorise payment to us we will not be liable to you for any delay or non-delivery.

You may only use one discount code with each order. We allow you to use discount codes strictly on the terms and conditions upon which they were issued which, amongst other things, may include terms relating to your eligibility to use them and a maximum order value.

20. Delivery

We aim to deliver our goods to UK addresses within 2-3 working days on our free standard UK delivery option. We also offer upgraded and premium delivery services which may include an additional premium, where we may give you the option of choosing or indicating a day for delivery, neither Banana Spilt nor our carriers guarantee any time or date of delivery: there are sometimes events beyond our control that may affect the delivery date and normal transit times. We will do everything we can to arrange deliver on the date requested we have a very high success rate in achieving delivery on customers’ preferred date. We do however recommend you select a preferred delivery date allowing for any possible delays including the recipient not being home when the delivery is attempted.

Saturday delivery is an upgraded delivery service to UK mainland addresses and may include an additional fee, but as above, we do not guarantee a parcel will arrive on the preferred day. Saturday deliveries are not available to business addresses, and hospitals, hotels and universities and other educational establishments.

Our third party contracted carriers may give the recipient additional delivery options via text or calling card. Banana Split Hampers are not responsible for any changes or agreements made between the recipient and couriers relating to deliveries that were not part of the original order. The couriers will hold the parcel for a limited time if an attempted delivery is unsuccessful and may then redeliver or send back to Banana Split Hampers. If we are requested to re-send or redirect the parcel there may be additional charges and an administration fee. In the event of non-delivery within the UK due to an incorrect address or recipient information supplied by the purchaser, if the recipient specified by the customer refuses to accept the parcel or the purchaser should cancel the order after despatch, Banana Split reserves the right to make a charge an administration fee and additional delivery cost for re-directing or arranging return re-sending the order. We are unable to refund the cost to the purchaser of returning any item; unless the item was faulty.

Notification of damages or non-delivery must be made in writing to Banana Split Hampers within 14 days of the due delivery date. We will not accept claims for compensation or refunds after this period.

For deliveries to hospitals, universities, colleges, military bases, work addresses etc., please be aware that the driver is required only to deliver to the address on the label – not directly to the recipient and we cannot be held responsible for delays incurred from the parcel being delivered to the address and being received by the recipient. Delivery to these locations is not available on Saturday.

Please check that hospitals will allow deliveries of food, drink or flowers to the relevant ward and ensure the ward details are entered when completing the address details. For deliveries to blocks of flats, it is important that the driver is able to gain access for a card to be left or to attempt delivery. Unfortunately, we are unable to arrange delivery to PO Box or BFPO addresses or similar.

BANK HOLIDAYS – We are unable to delivery on UK Bank Holidays.

International Delivery
We despatch our hampers for delivery around the world subject to available destinations for each hamper as shown, but due to the sensitive nature of importing food products and the inconsistency of customs regulations by border controls we regret that we are unable to refund delivery charges or the value of the hamper in the event of a failed delivery outside the UK. (See also notes under 11 above regarding customs duties on deliveries outside the UK).

Some products available for international delivery are despatched in the country to be delivered using a third party supplier in that country. Whilst we maintain a high quality service and product availability in the UK, we are unable to guarantee availability or service standard of our third party suppliers. All our third party suppliers must maintain a level of service and quality expected by Banana Split.
