How is the Contract Formed Between You and Us?
Forming the contract
The technical steps required to create a contract between you and us for the delivery of products are as follows:
- You must select the products you wish to order and, default delivery date will be in two days time, however you have the option to choose a delivery date and then go to our “checkout”.
- You will be guided through the “checkout” process by a series of instructions. If you want to correct any errors you have made, you can use our functionality to go back and remove individual products from your order or empty your trolley and start again.
- You place an order on our website and our mobile app by clicking the “Purchase Order” button at the end of the “checkout” process.
- We will send you an automated message which will be shown to you on our website and This is not an acceptance of your order because we will have to carry out stock and identity checks first.
- We will then send you a confirmation email to confirm that your order is being processed by us. Again, this is not acceptance of your order.
- Finally, we will send you an email receipt for your order confirming the products for delivery, including any substitutes. At this point, we have accepted your order and a binding contract is formed between you and us.
The contract will be concluded in English.
The details of your contract will be held by us. If you require any information about orders you have placed with us, you can contact Customer Services.
Delivery
We will confirm your booked delivery date with your recipient. We will endeavour to contact the recipient of the goods prior to delivery.
We will do our best to deliver your order to you in accordance with your booked delivery day. However, we cannot always guarantee that we will do so due to factors beyond our reasonable control. If that is the case we will try to contact you as soon as we are able to and also contact the recipient in order to reschedule your date.
We will deliver to the address specified by you when you buy the goods.
We will contact the recipient and make arrangements about delivery. It is the recipients responsibility to ensure that there someone available to receive the goods. If there is no one at the property when we try to deliver,, the goods will be returned to the office and the recipient will have to come to pick up the goods from the office. We may require someone to sign for your order on delivery.
We may request that the person taking delivery of your order provides us with identification to help us confirm they have your authorisation to accept delivery of your order. This may include asking to see an item of your photographic identification (such as a passport or driving licence) and/or the bank card which was used to make payment.
If nobody is at home when we attempt delivery, or the person at home is unable to satisfy our identification requirements or age requirements, we will try to contact you by telephone. If we cannot do so, we will leave notice of attempted delivery and will try to contact you to rearrange the delivery.
For reasons of security and food safety, we will not leave your order unattended at your address. We will not normally agree to leave your order with anyone at another address (for example, a neighbour). If we do agree to do so in exceptional cases, this is done at your own risk and we will not be responsible for any losses you may incur as a result, for example, theft, tampering, contamination and the result of any change in temperature in respect of items which need to be kept chilled or frozen.
If your order is returned because we failed to deliver it to your delivery address within the date we agreed, where we manage to make contact with you and recipient and agree a revised delivery date and timeslot, we will redeliver your order to you at no additional cost.
If your order is returned because of something within your control or recipients control (for example, if there is nobody at the delivery address within your booked timeslot to receive the order, or if the person there refuses to accept the goods) we are entitled to charge you for the delivery charge for that returned delivery and the price of the perishable items contained in it. (For an explanation of what we mean by “perishable” – please see our “Cancellation, Refunds and Returns Policy” section).
If you provide us with an incorrect delivery address and your order is signed for by someone else we cannot be responsible for any losses you may incur as a result, for example, theft, tampering, contamination and the result of any change in temperature in respect of items which need to be kept chilled or frozen.

Product Information
The product information contained on our website has been published in good faith and we will do our best to ensure that it is accurate. However, occasionally, it may be incorrect, incomplete or out of date due to human error or circumstances beyond our control. Where information is incorrect due to an error or circumstances beyond our control, we reserve the right not to accept your order for the affected products, or if your order has already been accepted, not to supply the affected products to you. We will notify you if this is the case and will not charge you for the product.
Colours and appearances of products on computer, tablet or mobile device screens may vary slightly and may not accurately reflect actual products delivered. Product specifications may change from time to time which means that, if the specification has changed in the meantime, the information displayed on our website when you place an order may not reflect the product you receive. If you think that the product you have received does not match its description, then you can reject it
Payment
All payments will be taken within two days of delivery. Payment for all products must be by credit, debit or charge card. Authority for payment will be requested from your card issuer when you place your order with us. This is done by “reserving” an amount of money against the card you have used for payment.
The amount which is reserved is not spent by you until we “debit” your card with the full price of your order after delivery, but will not be available to be used for payment to other parties. At the time payment is debited, the “reservation” will be cancelled, and replaced by the debited amount. In some cases, your card issuer may treat the final payment on delivery as a separate transaction to the “reservation”. In the event that this occurs, the “reservation” will be cancelled, and the amount originally “reserved” will be released by your card issuer in line with your card issuer’s timescales.
If the order is cancelled, either by you or by us, then the “reservation” will be cancelled within 7 days of the order being cancelled, and the funds “reserved” will be released by your card issuer in line with your card issuer’s timescales.
Please note that the process of releasing the “reservation” is beyond the control of Ekhayaonline and is dealt with by your card issuer. If you have any queries about this process, please contact your card issuer..
We reserve the right to terminate our contract with you if we are refused authority for payment or reasonably believe that payment will be refused at any stage. We will attempt to contact you if this is the case.

This may include an administration charge of up to £20. We reserve the right at any time after a failed payment has occurred to ask a debt collection agency to assist in collecting payment from you.
Discounts and Offers
We may offer discounts and offers from time to time at our discretion, for example “get a free drink with your basket”. All discounts and offers are subject to the relevant products being available to us and in stock when we pick your order for delivery. We reserve the right to amend or terminate any discount or offer at any time without notice (but this will not affect any orders that we have already accepted, as set out in How is the Contract Formed Between You and Us?
