This page (together with our Privacy Policy) sets out the terms and conditions of the Caketu.com website and any mobile application on which you might access our service (together referred to as “the Website”). Please read these terms and conditions carefully before using the Website or ordering any products. By using the Website, you agree to be bound by these terms. If you do not accept these Website Terms, you should leave the Website immediately, and you will not be able to order any products through the Website.

We reserve the right to change these Terms from time to time by changing them on this page. We advise you to save or print a copy of these Terms for future reference. 

1. INTRODUCTION AND OUR ROLE

1.1. Company details: Caketu Ltd is registered in England and Wales with registered company number 13417161.

1.2. VAT number: We are not currently VAT registered.

1.3. Commercial agency: We provide a platform for bakers in the UK (“Baker” or “Bakers“) to display and sell the products (“Product” or “Products“) they make in their (“Store” or Stores”) for you to order (“Order” or “Orders“). The legal contract for the supply and purchase of Products is between you and the Baker that you place your Order with. For the avoidance of doubt, any orders processed by Caketu through the Website are processed by Caketu in its capacity as commercial agent of the relevant Baker.

1.4 Store Policies: Each Baker has the ability to set their own Terms and Conditions, which are available to view on their Store page under policies (“Policy” or “Policies”). Please read these Policies carefully before ordering any products as they form part of your contract with the Baker. By ordering the Baker’s Products, you agree to be bound by their Policies. In the event of a conflict between the Baker’s Policies and the Website Terms and Conditions, the Website Terms and Conditions take priority.

1.5. Allergy, dietary and other menu information:  When a Baker lists a Product in their store, the Product’s ingredients are included on the Product page for information. Lack of inclusion of an ingredient in this list does not guarantee that the product cannot contain traces of it however, as Bakers produce multiple products within their premises and the potential for cross-contamination is always possible. If you have, or someone you are ordering for has an allergy, a concern about food allergies, intolerances or other dietary preferences, you acknowledge and agree that you will liaise with the Baker directly to check that they can make the necessary arrangements to ensure the product is suitable, before placing your Order with them.

1.6. Delivery Services: Some Bakers on our Website offer their own delivery service in order to bring the Product(s) you order to you. In this case, the Baker may charge you a delivery fee (which we will collect on behalf of the Baker). In some cases, however, you will collect the Products yourself. It is at the Bakers’ discretion what delivery/collection options they offer.

1.7. Baker actions and omissions:  The legal contract for the supply and purchase of Products is between you and the Baker that you place your Order with. We have no control over the actions or omissions of any Bakers. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, you acknowledge and accept the following by using the Website:

• 1.7.1. We do not give any undertaking that the Products ordered from any Baker through the Website will be of satisfactory quality or suitable for your purpose and we disclaim any such warranties.
• 1.7.2. Estimated times for deliveries and collections are provided by the Bakers and are only estimates. We make no guarantee that Orders will be delivered or will be available for collection within the estimated times.
• 1.7.3. We encourage all our Bakers to accept all Orders and to communicate any rejection promptly, and we will notify you (generally by email) as soon as reasonably practicable if a Baker rejects your Order. However, we do not guarantee that Bakers will accept and fulfil all Orders, and Bakers have the discretion to reject Orders at any time, for any reason.
• 1.7.4. These Terms and Conditions do not affect your statutory rights.

2. ORDERS

2.1. Making your Order: Once you have selected the Products you wish to order from your chosen Baker, read their Policies and provided any required information, you will be given the opportunity to submit and pay for your Order. It is important that you check all the information that you enter and correct any errors, particularly any customisation options or text before committing to pay for the Order; once you do so you will be entering into a contract with the Baker and errors cannot be corrected (subject to paragraph 2.2. below). 

2.2. Amending or cancelling your Order: Once you have submitted your Order and your payment has been authorised, you will not be entitled to change or cancel your Order, nor will you be entitled to a refund. If you wish to change or cancel your Order, you may contact the Baker and make the request but there is no guarantee or obligation for the Baker to agree as they may have begun work on your Order.

2.3. Payment authorisation: Where any payment you make is not authorised, your Order will not be processed or communicated to the relevant Baker.

2.4. Processing your Order and Baker rejections: On receipt of your Order, we will send it to the Baker and will notify you by email that your Order has been received and is being processed. Please note that any confirmation page that you may see on the Website and any Order confirmation e-mail that you may receive each confirm that you have a contract for the sale of Products with a Baker but does not necessarily mean that your Order will be fulfilled by the Baker. We encourage all our Bakers to accept all Orders and to communicate any rejection promptly, and we will notify you (generally by email) as soon as reasonably practicable if a Baker rejects your Order. However, Bakers have the ability to reject Orders at any time for any reason, and if this happens any payment made in respect of the order will be returned to you in accordance with paragraph 2.6 below.

2.5. Rejected Orders: Because of standard banking procedures, once you have submitted an Order that you are paying for by credit or debit card and your payment has been authorised, your bank or card issuer will “ring-fence” the full amount of your Order. If your Order is cancelled for any reason, your bank or card issuer will not transfer the funds for the Order to us, and will instead release the relevant amount back into your available balance. However, this may take between 3 to 5 working days (or longer, depending on your bank or card issuer). You acknowledge and agree that neither we nor the relevant Baker will be responsible or liable to you in relation to this delay by your bank or card issuer in the release of funds back into your account.

2.6. Incorrect pricing: This Website contains a large number of products and it is possible that some may include incorrect prices. If in the event of discovering a Product has been priced incorrectly, we will contact you before the relevant Order is dispatched. In such an event, neither we nor the relevant Baker is under any obligation to ensure that the Order is provided to you at an incorrect lower price or to compensate you in respect of incorrect pricing.

3. CUSTOMER CARE

3.1. General: Customer care is extremely important to us. If you have any concerns or queries about your Order, please contact the Baker in the first instance. If you have any problems contacting the Baker, please email info@caketu.com and our Customer Care team will try to assist you in contacting the Baker and resolving your issue.

3.2. Complaints or feedback: In the event that you are dissatisfied with the quality of any Products or the service provided by a Baker, please first contact the Baker in order to give them an opportunity to resolve your issue and, where appropriate, follow the Baker’s own complaint procedures as detailed in their Policies in their Store. If you are unable to contact the Baker, or the Baker refuses to deal with your complaint, you can contact our Customer Care Team as described above and one of our Customer Care Advisers will attempt to contact the Baker on your behalf. Please note, however, that the legal contract for the supply and purchase of Products is between you and the Baker that you place your Order with. We have no control over Bakers and the quality of the Products or service that they provide, and we are not able to provide, and have no responsibility or liability for providing, any compensation to you on behalf of any Baker.
