9.13. Your legal rights if we deliver late. You have legal rights if we deliver any Products late. If we miss the delivery deadline for any Products then you may cancel your order straight away if any of the following apply:

9.13.1. we have refused to deliver the Products;

9.13.2. delivery within the delivery deadline was essential (taking into account all the relevant circumstances at the time we accepted your order); or

9.13.3. you told us before we accepted your order that delivery within the delivery deadline was essential.

9.14. Setting a new deadline for delivery. If you do not wish to treat the contract as at an end straight away, or do not have the right to do so under Section 9.13 above, you can give us a new deadline for delivery, which must be reasonable, and you can treat the contract as at an end if we do not meet the new deadline.

9.15. Ending the contract for late delivery. If you do choose to treat the contract as at an end for late delivery under Sections 9.13 or 9.14 above, you can cancel your order for any of the Products or reject Products that have been delivered. If you wish, you can reject or cancel the order for some of those Products (not all of them), unless splitting them up would significantly reduce their value. After that we will refund any sums you have paid to us for the cancelled Products, along with any delivery costs. If the Products have been delivered to you, you must either return them to us or allow us to collect them from you. See Sections 11.2 and 11.3 (How to return Products) for details of how to return Products to us.

9.16. What will happen if you do not give the required information to us. 

9.16.1. We may need certain information from you so that we can supply the Products to you. If this is the case, we will contact you to ask for this information. For example, this may include requiring that you provide proof of age on delivery if you have ordered age restricted products.

         
9.16.2. If you do not give us the required information within a reasonable time of us asking for it, or if you give us incomplete or incorrect information, we may either:

• reject or cancel your order (or relevant parts of it); 

• suspend supply of Products;

• end the contract (and Section 12.2 (You must compensate us if you breach the contract) will apply); or 

• make an additional charge of a reasonable sum to compensate us for any extra work that is required as a result.

9.16.3. We will not be responsible for supplying the Products late, or not supplying any part of them, if this is caused by you not giving us the information we need within a reasonable time of us asking for it.

9.17. When you become responsible for the Products. The Products that you order will belong to you, and will be your responsibility, from the time that we deliver them or you collect them from us in accordance with these Terms of Sale. We will not be responsible for any loss or damage caused to Products after delivery or collection. In particular, we cannot accept responsibility where Products have been inappropriately used, stored or handled following delivery or collection.

9.18. When you own the Products. You own the Products on the date that they are delivered or collected in accordance with these Terms of Sale. 

10. Your rights to change or cancel your order

10.1. How long you have to cancel. The time periods set out in this Section 10 begin the day after you receive your order, unless a single order is split into several deliveries over different days, in which case it begins the day after you receive the last such delivery.

10.2. Right to cancel if a Product is damaged, faulty or misdecribed. 

10.2.1. Legal duty. We are under a legal duty to supply Products that are in conformity with these Terms of Sale. Where we refer to ‘faulty’ in this Section, we mean where your Product is not: (i) as described; (ii) fit for purpose; and/or (iii) of satisfactory quality. You have certain legal rights in respect of faulty Products. ALDI provides you with additional rights over and above those legal rights. These rights are each described below. 

10.2.2. Legal Rights. During the expected life of your Product your legal rights entitle you to the following:

• up to 30 days: if your Product is faulty, then you can get a refund.

• up to 6 months: if your faulty Product cannot be repaired or replaced, then you are entitled to a full refund, in most cases.

• up to 6 years: if your faulty Product can be expected to last up to 6 years you may be entitled to a repair or replacement, or, if that does not work, some of your money back.

10.2.3. Extended rights offered by ALDI. In addition to your legal rights under Section 10.2.3 above, unless expressly stated otherwise on our Site, we offer our customers the following additional rights in respect of faulty Products purchased online:
How our policy is more generous: Unless otherwise stated on our Site (see the product listing page of a particular Product), we offer a 60 day period to get such a refund (so long as you have proof of purchase, the returns form enclosed with the Product on delivery, and the original packaging).

10.2.4. Manufacturer warranties. In addition to the above, certain non-food Products may be offered with warranties provided by the manufacturer, which extend your rights to obtain repairs or replacements for Products from anything from 12 months to 3 years. 

As such, if your Product: (i) has a warranty; (ii) falls outside of the return period set out in Sections 10.2.3 and 10.2.4 above; and (iii) is faulty, then we recommend that you contact the manufacturer’s helpline for assistance. Please check the information plate on your Product (if any) or the documentation provided with your Products for the manufacturer’s contact details and details of the warranty. Alternatively, we can help you find your manufacturer warranty. Please either look at the “Warranties” page on our Site, or contact our Customer Services Team (using the details at Section 3.1). 

Please note that proof of purchase will be required for any warranty claims and it will speed things up for you if you have this to hand when you contact the Product’s manufacturer.

10.2.5. Letting us know about problems. If a Product is faulty, please contact our Customer Services Team (using the details at Section 3.1) who would be happy to help. Please have the brand, product name and receipt to hand. To speed up your query further, please also have the Barcode, Batch Number and the product's Best Before/Use by Date (if applicable).

10.3. Right to cancel if you have changed your mind.

10.3.1. Legal Rights. For most Products bought online you have a legal right to change your mind within 14 days and receive a refund. Nothing in these Terms of Sale affects that legal right of return. A copy of a cancellation form which can be used to exercise this right can be found here.

Please see 10.3.3 below for details of when you do not have a right to change your mind. 

10.3.2. ALDI’s 60 Day Online Returns Policy.

How our policy is more generous: Unless otherwise stated on our Site (see the product listing page of a particular Product), we offer a 60 day period to change your mind.

In these circumstances:


10.5.1. we will refund any sums paid for Products we do not provide to you; and

However, please see Section 13.2 below for what happens if we discover an error in the price of any Product you order. 

13.2. What happens if we get the price wrong. It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, we may indicate an incorrect price on our Site.

We will normally check prices before accepting your order so that, where the Product's correct price at your order date is less than our stated price at your order date, we will charge the lower amount.

If you notice that the Product's price at the time of placing a Pre-Order is higher than the price at the time of dispatch, please don’t hesitate to contact us and we will refund you the difference.
