Introduction
We are Regal Fish Supplies Limited, an English registered company (company registration number 2813471), VAT registered No 555411748. Our trading office and registered office is at Ardent Road, Barton-Upon-Humber, North Lincolnshire, DN18 5FA. We operate the website www.regalfish.co.uk.
This page tells you information about us and the legal terms and conditions (“Terms”) on which we sell any of our products (“Products”) to you.
These Terms will apply to any contract between us for the sale of Products to you (each a “Contract”), including for the avoidance of doubt any such contracts entered into via our website, via telephone, via email, via door-to-door sales or otherwise. Please read these Terms carefully, and make sure that you understand them, before ordering any Products from us. Please note that before placing an order you will be asked to agree to these Terms. If you refuse to accept these Terms, you will not be able to order any Products from us.
You should print a copy of these Terms, or save them to your computer, for future reference.
We may amend these Terms from time to time as set out in clause 3 below. Every time that you wish to order Products from us (via any method), please check these Terms to ensure you understand the terms which will apply at that time. These Terms were most recently updated on [30/06/2023].
You may only purchase Products from us if you are a consumer and at least 18 years old.
We only sell to certain parts of the United Kingdom. Our website is solely for the promotion of our Products in the UK. Unfortunately, we do not deliver to addresses outside the UK or addresses located within those excluded parts of the UK referred to on our Delivery Information page. Please carefully check the list of excluded parts of the UK before placing your order.
These Terms, and any Contract between you and us, are only in the English language.
If you wish to contact us for any reason, including because you have any questions relating to any of our Products or any complaints, you can contact us by writing to us at Regal Fish Supplies Limited, Ardent Road, Barton Upon Humber, DN18 5FA, by telephoning our customer support team on 01652 662100 or by emailing them at info@regalfish.co.uk.If we have to contact you or give you notice in writing, we will do so by e-mail or by the postal address you provided to us in your order.
1. Our Products
1.1 The images of the Products on our website and in other literature are for illustrative purposes only. Although we have made every effort to display the colours accurately, we cannot guarantee that a device’s display of the colours accurately reflects the colour of the Products. Your Products may vary slightly from those images. Although we have made every effort to be as accurate as possible, all sizes, weights, dimensions and measurements indicated on our website and in our other literature have a 5% tolerance.
1.2 The packaging of the Products may vary from that shown in images on our website or in our other promotional literature.
1.3 Allergen Information: We provide allergen information for our Products on our website. It is your responsibility to review the allergen information and have due regard to it when ordering Products from us.
2. How a Contract is Formed Between You and Us
2.1 For online orders, our website will guide you through the steps you need to take to place an order with us. Our online order process allows you to check and amend any errors before submitting your order to us. Please take the time to read and check your order at each stage of the order process.
2.2 For all orders (including those made by this website or by telephone, email or doorstep sales), by submitting an order to us you will be offering to buy the ordered Products from us subject to these Terms. Once you place an order, you will receive an order confirmation via email or other provided contact information. However, please note that this does not mean your order has been accepted or guarantee availability of the ordered Products, and at that point your order shall remain subject to our acceptance and confirmation.
2.3 A Contract shall only come into existence between you and us if and when we have notified you that we have accepted that offer by sending you an email to notify you that we agree to enter into a related contract with you.
2.4 You agree to provide accurate and complete information during the ordering process, including your contact details, delivery address, and payment information.
2.5 If we are unable to accept your order, we will inform you of this and will not charge you for the ordered Products. This might be because the Products are out of stock, because of unexpected limits on our resources which we could not reasonably plan for, because we have identified an error in the price or description of any of the Products, because we have identified an error in the application of any voucher code, or because we are unable to provide next day delivery or meet any other delivery deadline that you have specified due to your geographic location.
2.6 We will assign an order number to your order and tell you what it is when we acknowledge your order. It will help us if you can tell us the order number whenever you contact us about your order.
2.7 All orders must have a minimum order value of £20 (excluding delivery charges).
3. Our Right to Vary These Terms and the Products
3.1 We may amend these Terms from time to time. Please look at the beginning of these Terms to see when these Terms were last updated.
3.2 Every time you order any Products from us, the Terms in force at the time of your order will apply to the relevant Contract between you and us.
3.3 We may make minor changes to the Products and these Terms:
3.3.1 to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements (such as food hygiene or food packaging legislation); and
3.3.2 to implement minor technical adjustments and improvements, for example to address a safety issue.
These changes will not affect your use or enjoyment of the relevant Product.
3.4 If we have to revise these Terms as they apply to any Contract between us more significantly than those detailed in clause 3.3 above, or make more significant changes to any Product than those detailed in clause 3.3 above, we will contact you to give you reasonable advance notice of the changes and let you know how to cancel the relevant Contract if you are not happy with the changes. Please note that due to the perishable nature of the Products, you shall only be able to cancel the Contract in respect of those Products that you have yet to receive under the Contract.
4. Your Rights to Make Changes and/or Cancel an Order
4.1 If you wish to make a change to your order (including any subscription plan) please contact us. We will let you know if the change is possible. If it is possible we will let you know about any changes to the price of the Products ordered or any related subscription fees, the timing of delivery and anything else which would be necessary as a result of your requested change and ask you to confirm whether you wish to go ahead with the change.
4.2 Cancellation (excluding subscriptions): In the unlikely event that you want to cancel an order (excluding a subscription order), you can do so at any point up to 24 hours before the scheduled delivery date (e.g. if your scheduled delivery date is 3rd August 2023, you will be able to cancel at any time before 2nd August 2023 but will not be able to cancel under this clause on or after 2nd August 2023). In such circumstances we will provide you with a full refund of any sums which you have paid in relation to that order. To cancel an order in this way login to your account online or contact our Administration team on 01652 662100 or via email toinfo@regalfish.co.uk.Please note that your rights to end any Contract after this cancellation period has expired will be limited to only where you have a legal right to end the Contract because of something we have done wrong or if the circumstances in clause 9.4 below apply.
4.3 Cancellation of subscriptions: Please see clause 13.6 below for further details.
4.4 Please note that the consumer cancellation rights set out in the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013, will not apply to any Contract between you and us. This is because all of our Products are perishable food products and therefore are liable to deteriorate or expire rapidly.

6. Price and Payment
6.1 The prices of the Products and any related subscriptions (which include VAT) will be as quoted on our website or otherwise notified to you by us at the time you submit your order and are in pound sterling. We take all reasonable care to ensure that the prices of the Products advised to you are correct and that any applicable voucher codes work as stated. However please see clause 6.5 below for what happens if we discover an error in the price of any Product you order or an error in the application of any voucher code.
6.2 If the rate of VAT changes between your order date and the date on which the Contract is completed or terminated, we will adjust the rate of VAT that you pay to the revised amount, unless you have already paid for the relevant Products in full before the change in the rate of VAT takes effect.
6.3 Our delivery charges (if any) are as advised to you during the order process. If you order via subscription, usual delivery charges apply.
6.4 You can pay for Products and subscriptions using the following payment methods: Visa, Mastercard, and Google Pay. You must pay for the Products (and pay all applicable delivery charges) before we dispatch them. We will not charge you until we dispatch the Products to you (excluding subscriptions).
6.5 It is always possible that, despite our efforts, some of the Products on our website may be incorrectly priced and/or any voucher codes that we offer do not work correctly. We will normally check prices and any applied voucher codes 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. In the event that:
6.5.1 we discover an error in the price of any Product you have ordered and the Product's correct price at your order date is higher than the price stated on our website at the time you placed your order, we will give you the option of continuing to purchase the relevant Product at the correct price or cancelling your order. We will not process your order until we have your instructions. If we are unable to contact you using the contact details you provided during the order process, we will treat the order as cancelled and notify you in writing.

6.5.2 we discover that any voucher code has worked incorrectly, we will contact you to inform you of the error and will give you the option of continuing to purchase the relevant Products using the correctly applied voucher code (in which case you will be required to pay the outstanding balance) or cancelling your order. We will not process your order until we have your instructions. If we are unable to contact you using the contact details you provided during the order process, we will treat the order as cancelled and notify you in writing.
6.6 We do not accept liability if delivery of any Product is delayed because you have provided us with incorrect payment details.
6.7 If it is not possible to obtain full payment for any Products (including subscriptions) using the payment details you have provided, we will contact you to arrange for an alternative payment method and may reject your order if we cannot contact you or no alternative payment method is provided. This does not affect your legal rights.
6.8 In the event that we make any refund to you under the Contract for any reason, we will refund you using the payment method originally used by you to purchase the Products. Please also note that if any refunded Products have been purchased wholly or partly using a voucher code, we will only refund the sum that you actually paid for the refunded Products and will not refund the amount of any discount given as a result of the application of the voucher code.
6.8 Individual voucher codes - We may send customers individual voucher codes by email from time to time. Any such voucher codes may only be applied to purchases made using the account in respect of which the voucher code was offered and registered. Voucher codes may be subject to certain conditions of use and/or restrictions (including specific dates between which they may be applied), which will be specified at the time of issue. Voucher codes have no monetary value and must not be sold or transferred to anyone else. Voucher codes cannot be used in conjunction with any other offer. Any breach of the specific terms of a voucher code may result in an order being rejected or an order being void.
6.9 General promotional voucher codes - We may also offer general promotional voucher codes which may apply in respect of any, or certain specified, purchases made through our website. Such promotional voucher codes may be subject to certain conditions of use and/or restrictions (including specific dates between which they may be applied), which will be specified at the time of issue. Promotional voucher codes have no monetary value and must not be sold or transferred to anyone else. Promotional voucher codes cannot be used in conjunction with any other offer.

10.1 To benefit from this scheme you must be an existing customer.
10.2 Once you have signed up to the scheme you will be able to send your friend a referral link via our customer referral webpage. If they place an order with us via the link that you send them, they will receive £15 off their first order and you will be emailed a discount code for £15 off your next order when they have received delivery of the order and made payment in full for that order.
10.3 Due to geographical restrictions (see our Delivery Information page for further details), in some cases we will not be able to deliver to your referred customer. In this situation we regret that the referral credit will not be given.

10.8 In the instance that a person to which a referral link is sent has previously been a customer with Regal Fish then this will not be classed as a referral and therefore credit will not be awarded in that instance.
10.9 We regret that you cannot recommend the same customer/household twice.
11. Customer Referral scheme via order team (Recommend a friend)
11.1 To receive credit via this scheme you must be an existing customer.

11.4 The recommender will receive £15 credit once the recommended customer’s first order has been delivered and paid in full for.

Should your delivery follow shortly after your friend's than this credit may not be available. Under such circumstance your credit will be available for your subsequent delivery.
11.11 In the instance that a person recommended has previously been a customer with Regal Fish then this cannot be classed as a referral and therefore credit will not be awarded.
11.12 Credit cannot be awarded to customers who were recommended prior to this promotion being implemented (00.01, 01 January 2014), neither can we award credit if your friend joins the service by applying themselves (either by phone, post or email) - you must write/phone/email in with their details and your own details to qualify as in this way we can link yourself to your recommended friend and thus apply the credit.

13.6Termination: You may terminate your subscription at any time by following the subscription cancellation process outlined on our website or by contacting our customer service team using the contact details set out at the beginning of these Terms. Terminations made before the next billing cycle will prevent automatic renewal. No refunds or credits will be provided for partially used subscription periods.

14. Other Important Terms
14.1 When we refer, in these Terms, to “in writing”, this will include e-mail.

14.6 If we fail to insist that you perform any of your obligations under these Terms, or if we do not enforce our rights against you, or if we delay in doing so, that will not mean that we have waived our rights against you and will not mean that you do not have to comply with those obligations. If we do waive a default by you, we will only do so in writing, and that will not mean that we will automatically waive any later default by you.
14.7 Please note that these Terms are governed by English law. This means each Contract for the purchase of Products through our website or any other method, and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with it, will be governed by English law. You and we both agree that the courts of England and Wales will have non-exclusive jurisdiction. However, if you are a resident of Scotland you may also bring proceedings in Scotland.
