All delivery payments must be paid in advance of delivery taking place.

When an item is delivered, risk of damage to, or loss of, the item passes shall pass to the relevant Participant.

FORCE MAJEURE
We will not be liable or responsible for any failure to perform, or delay in performance of any of our obligations under these terms that is caused by events outside our reasonable control (“Force Majeure Event”).

Our performance under these terms is deemed to be suspended for the period that the Force Majeure Event continues, and we will have an extension of time for performance for the duration of that period.

RETURNS
You are responsible for inspecting any items at the time of delivery to ensure that they match the items described on the Website.

We will only accept return of the items if it can be shown that the description on the Website was substantially different from that delivered.

In limited circumstances, where you are entitled to return an item, it must be returned direct to us within 14 days of delivery/collection. Items are returned at your own cost and risk. The item will remain your responsibility until it is received by us, so we therefore recommend you return the item by recorded delivery.

We are unable to provide a full ingredients list for each lamington cake and recommend that those suffering from food allergies refrain from eating the lamington cakes. The Lamington Cake Project does not accept responsibility for any potential allergic reactions to ingredients in any of the lamington cakes.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
All items offered for Auction shall be subject to availability and we shall not be liable for any claims, expenses, costs and/or any losses (including, but not limited to, loss of profits, indirect, pure economic and consequential losses or otherwise) or any damage (save for death or personal injury arising from negligence) suffered by any Participant.
