General
Customer Services
1.Obligation to purchase and sell
Nothing on this Site constitutes an offer to sell any product shown. Any order you place on this
Site is an offer to McCarrenDirect to sell you the product ordered. Your offer will remain open until
you withdraw it in accordance with clause 6 of these terms and conditions or it is accepted by us.
We may accept your offer by making a delivery to you. The contract for the sale of the product will
be formed when our driver arrives at the delivery address.
We may decline to sell any product you have ordered without giving any reason and without any
liability to you. Without restricting this, we will decline to sell products where they are not
available or where we believe that the order has not been placed by a consumer.
2.Transfer of ownership
You will own the products dispatched to you from the time they are delivered to you. Until then,
they will remain the property of McCarren Direct.
3.Prices
The price you will be charged for a product you have ordered will be the price at which it is on
sale on the website at the time your order is put together for dispatch. Because the prices of
products may change frequently, this may not be the price at which the product was displayed on the
product label at the time you place your order.
You may therefore return any product we deliver if the price charged has increased from the price
shown on this Site when your order was placed. We will refund the price you have paid for this
product where necessary.
In addition to paying for the products dispatched to you, you will have to pay for delivery at the
rate applicable for the date and time of your delivery.
4.Availability of product
If a product you have ordered is unavailable, we may dispatch a suitable alternative product.
You may instruct us not to dispatch such alternative products using the option for the purpose on
the Site.
If a product you have ordered is not available in the quantity you have ordered, we may dispatch a
lower quantity.
5.Delivery
Delivery addresses must be in areas of Ireland (this excludes Northern Ireland) which are serviced
by the MeatToYourDoor.com delivery service. Details of these areas are available on this Site.
If you do not return the goods within 21 days of your cancellation, we will make a charge in respect
of the cost of recovering the goods. If you do not return the goods or fail to make them available
for collection within 30 days of your notice of cancellation, you will be deemed to have accepted
the goods, at which point a new purchase contract will be made and you will be charged for your
order at the price set out on the web site. This does not affect your statutory rights.
Delivery will be made to the address you give when you place your order. We will deliver your
order to the main entrance of the delivery address, where it is safe to do so, or otherwise as
near as practicable to that entrance. At your request, our driver may carry your order into the
delivery address, for example, to a particular floor in an apartment block or into your kitchen
but only if the driver is satisfied that they have appropriate permission and that it is safe
and practical to do so.
We will use our best endeavors to deliver your order within the times you request when you place
your order. However, we will not be liable to you if we fail to do so.
All orders must be signed for on delivery by an adult aged 18 years or over.
If there is no answer at the delivery address you give, our driver will leave notification of
attempted delivery and you will need to contact us to arrange redelivery. A further charge may
become payable for redeliveries.
6.Cancellation and amendment of orders
You may cancel or change any of your current orders up until the amendment cut-off point specified
on the Orders page of this Site by:
•going to My Account and clicking on Orders; or
•calling us.
Orders cannot be cancelled by email.
7.Returns
Our general Returns Policy will apply to any returns you may want to make.
You may not return perishable products.
Your statutory rights are not affected by this clause.
8.Payment
We accept Visa, Mastercard, and Laser in payment. We do not accept cash, cheques, any paper
vouchers or coupons or any other forms of payment.
Your card details will be encrypted to minimise the possibility of unauthorised access or disclosure.
Authority for payment must be given at the time of placing your order.

In no circumstances will our liability to you in connection with any order exceed the total price
charged for the relevant items.
The Site is for use by persons in Ireland only. If you access the Site from any other country you do
are responsible for compliance with laws there. Accessing the Site from countries where such access
or the contents of the Site are illegal is prohibited.
These terms and conditions shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Ireland.
In these terms and conditions the singular includes the plural and vice versa.
If any provision of these terms and conditions is found to be invalid, the invalidity of that
provision will not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of these terms and conditions,
which shall remain in full force and effect.
You may not assign, sub-license or otherwise transfer any of your rights under these terms and
conditions.
