  1. Specific Terms relating to Purchases

2.1       Binding Orders: Your entry of an Order on-line, acceptance of that Order by us and payment of the same by you comprises a contract between us for the supply of the Product/s ordered subject to these Terms.

2.2       Weight: As it is not always practical to supply an exact weight of some Products (providing the exact ordered weight of a particular product (e.g. 2kg of fresh fillets) might require including a piece of fillet likely to be of insufficient size to be practically useful to you or to create unreasonable wastage for us) Ordering and supply of Products sold by weight are subject to the following rules:

2.2.1     We may supply more in weight of the Product than was ordered but at no extra cost to you;

2.2.2     We may supply less than the ordered weight of the Product where we consider a reduction necessary to avoid including a piece of Product of insufficient size to be practically useful or avoid creating unreasonable wastage however if we reduce the weight  we will refund you an amount equal to the value of the reduction in weight (e.g. if you order 1kg of fillets at $35.90 and we supply 950gms of fillets we will refund you $1.80).

2.3       Product Availability: We will make reasonable efforts to fulfil Orders placed through the Site, however if we are unable to supply a Product or can only supply a reduced amount of a Product for any reason whatsoever we will provide you with written notice as soon as reasonably practicable via email.

2.4       Where a Product cannot be supplied or a reduced quantity of a Product is to be supplied (other than as per Clause 2.2.):

2.4.1     we will not ship your Order until the day following our email to you notifying the non-availability or reduced availability unless you contact us earlier confirming that you wish to proceed;

2.4.2     you may contact us by email at admin@guytons.co.nz at any time up to 9.00am on the day immediately following our email to you notifying the non-availability or reduced availability (unless that day is a Sunday or Public Holiday in which case you may contact us at any time up to 9.00am on the day immediately thereafter) and cancel your Order. If you cancel your Order pursuant to this clause, the amount paid by you for the Order shall be refunded by us to you;

2.4.3     if you do not contact us as and within the time required by clause 2.4.2 you will be deemed to have amended your Order by deleting the requested supply of the non- available Product or by reducing the amount of that Product you wish supplied, as appropriate and:

2.4.1     the balance of the Order shall be despatched to you;

2.4.2     we shall refund you the amount paid by you for the Product that was removed from the Order.
