2. Order for products
When you submit a Sales Order to KeepCup, it constitutes an offer to purchase the products in accordance with these Sale Terms. KeepCup reserves the right to accept or reject a Sales Order (or any part of it) at any time. If we reject a Sales Order (or any part of it), we will refund you any money paid for any part of the Sales Order that has been rejected.
Once your Sales Order has been submitted, you will receive an email acknowledging the details of your order. This is NOT an acceptance of your Sales Order, just a confirmation that we have received it.
A Sales Order becomes a binding Contract between you and us when:(a) a written acceptance is issued by KeepCup; or (b) when the products are delivered to you by KeepCup in accordance with the Sales Order; whichever occurs first.
If a Sales Order relates to customised products, the Sales Order becomes binding when: (a) written acceptance is issued by KeepCup and KeepCup receives payment (or, if agreed, a 50% deposit for the products) together with artwork approval for the customisation of the products; or (b) KeepCup commences design or other work required for the manufacture of the customised products; whichever occurs first.
A Sales Order which has been accepted in whole or in part by KeepCup cannot be cancelled by you without our prior written approval but, if you are a Consumer, for most products purchased online you have a legal right to change your mind within 14 days and receive a refund (for further details please see clause 7).
We reserve the right not to accept your Sales Order in the event, for example, that we are unable to obtain authorisation for payment, that shipping restrictions apply to a particular item, the item ordered is out of stock or does not satisfy our quality control standards and is withdrawn from sale, or that you do not meet the eligibility criteria set out within these Sale Terms.
We may also refuse to process and therefore accept a Sales Order for any reason or refuse to supply our products to you at any time at our sole discretion. We will not be liable to you for compensation, loss of prospective profits, expenditures, investment, or any other actual or potential damages whatsoever as a result of our refusal to supply products.
Any purported variation of these Sale Terms, or purported incorporation of other terms, by the Customer will not be binding on KeepCup unless specifically accepted by KeepCup in writing.
3. Pricing and Payment
All prices shown on our website are inclusive of VAT.
Our invoices will show an amount which is exclusive of VAT and the amount of VAT payable by you will be shown separately. You agree to indemnify KeepCup in respect of VAT paid and payable by KeepCup for the supply of the products. All prices and offers remain valid as advertised from time to time. The price of a product displayed on our website at the time the order is placed and accepted will be honoured, except in cases of patent error.
Once an item has been purchased, no price adjustment will be offered should the item subsequently be marked-down.
If you are a customer whose credit/debit card is not denominated in the currency you are purchasing, the final price will be calculated in accordance with the applicable exchange rate on the day your card issuer processes the transaction.
You must pay the Purchase Price plus any Additional Charges to KeepCup in accordance with the Payment Terms.
4. Product descriptions
Any description of the products provided by KeepCup is for the purpose of identification only and use of a description does not constitute a sale by description. Any sample of products exhibited to, or inspected by you, is supplied solely to judge the quality in bulk and does not constitute a sale by sample.
5. Customised products
To the extent that the products are to be customised in accordance with your instructions, you agree to indemnify KeepCup against all liabilities, costs, expenses, damages and losses (including any direct, indirect or consequential losses, loss of profit, loss of reputation and all interest, penalties and legal and other reasonable professional costs and expenses) suffered or incurred by KeepCup in connection with any claim made against KeepCup for actual or alleged infringement of a third party's intellectual property rights arising out of or in connection with KeepCup's compliance with your instructions. This provision shall survive termination of the Contract.
6. Damaged or incorrect products
Without prejudice to any rights you may have under the CRA, we will, upon your request, replace any product or part that is received in damaged condition or as a result of our error, provided your request is accompanied by photographic documentation and made within 7 days of receipt of the product.
Please retain the full product, unless otherwise requested, as we will generally only replace the required parts.
No material will be accepted or replacements issued without prior approval to return such products.
For damage that has been caused by fair wear and tear, or use and abuse – the dog ate it, it fell off the top rack of the dishwasher, left it on the roof of my car, dropped it on the floor – we encourage you to purchase replacement parts.
If you are a Consumer for the purposes of the CRA, we are under a legal duty to supply products that are in conformity with the Contract. The following is a summary of your legal rights under the CRA. These are subject to certain exceptions. Nothing in these Sale Terms will affect your legal rights. The products supplied to you by us must be as described, fit for purpose and of satisfactory quality. During the expected lifespan of your product, your legal rights entitle you to the following:
(a) up to 30 days, if your products are faulty, you can get an immediate refund;
(b) up to six months, if your products cannot be repaired or replaced, then you are entitled to a full refund in most cases; and
(c) up to six years, if your products do not last a reasonable length of time, you may be entitled to some money back.
If you wish to exercise your legal rights to reject products you must either return them in person to where you bought them, post them back to us or (if they are not suitable for posting) allow us to collect them from you. We will pay the costs of postage or collection. Please call customer services on +44 207 042 3300 or email us at hello@keepcup.com for a return label or to arrange collection.
If you are a Commercial Customer, this clause 6 does not apply to you and please refer to the Additional B2B Terms for your rights in respect of damaged or incorrect products.
7. Returns and refunds for change of mind
If you have changed your mind about a purchased item and wish to return it for a refund, you must notify us within 14 days, and must return the item to us (at your cost) within 30 days of delivery of your order. If 30 days have passed since your order was delivered, unfortunately, we can’t offer you a refund for change of mind.
We do not accept items for exchange. If you want to change an item (other than a customised item) for a different size or colour, you'll need to place a new order and return the original item as set out herein.
If we accept your return, we will refund the amount you paid for the item, whether original sale price or discounted price. The cost of shipping fees paid are refunded in accordance with your local consumer laws.
To be eligible for a return, your item must be unused and in the same resaleable condition in which you received it. It must also be in the original packaging with any original tags attached. If the products are returned used, damaged or do not have all original packaging, we reserve the right to refuse your refund.
We cannot accept the return of any customised product due to change of mind.
8. Recyclability and food safety
Where possible we endeavour to make all products from single material components to increase their recyclability.
We test all our products annually to verify food safety compliance and that all materials are fit for purpose.
9. Consumer guarantees
If you are a Consumer for the purposes of the CRA, to the extent permitted by law and except as provided herein or under the CRA, you acknowledge that KeepCup has not made any representation or warranty concerning the performance of the products or the suitability of the products for any use other than in accordance with KeepCup’s instructions and guidelines.
If you are a Consumer for the purposes of the CRA, to the extent permitted by law and except as provided herein or under the CRA, there are no other express or implied warranties, guarantees, conditions or other terms regarding the sale of the products.
If you are not a Consumer for the purposes of the CRA, any warranty, guarantee, condition or other term arising out of or in connection with the supply of the products which might apply or which might be implied into or incorporated into the Contract by statute, common law or otherwise (including, without limitation, guarantees as to satisfactory quality, fitness for purpose, due care and skill) is hereby expressly excluded to the maximum extent permitted by law.
10. Exclusions and Limitations
This clause 10 applies to you if you are a Consumer for the purposes of the CRA. If you are a Commercial Customer, this clause 10 does not apply to you. Please refer to the exclusions and limitations clause in the Additional B2B Terms.
If we fail to comply with these Sale Terms, we are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breaking the Contract or our failing to use reasonable care and skill, but we are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable. Loss or damage is foreseeable if either it is obvious that it will happen or if, at the time the Contract was made, both we and you knew it might happen, for example, if you discussed it with us during the sales process.
We do not exclude or limit in any way our liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so. This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors; for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; for breach of your legal rights in relation to the products.
We are not liable for business losses. We only supply the products to you for domestic and private use. If you use the products for any commercial, business or re-sale purpose we will have no liability to you for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity.
Notwithstanding all of the above, to the maximum extent permitted by law, KeepCup will not be liable to you for any defect or damage caused or partly caused by or arising as a result of:
(a) your failure to properly maintain the products;
(b) your failure to follow any instructions or guidelines provided by KeepCup;
(c) any failure to the extent that the failure is not a failure of the product to perform in accordance with its specifications;
(d) any use of the products otherwise than for any application specified in the instructions provided by KeepCup;
(e) the continued use of the products after any defect has become apparent (or would have become apparent to a reasonably prudent user);
(f) fair wear and tear;
(g) damage to the products resulting from negligence, misuse or abuse;
(h) slight colour variations between colour selection samples and finished product;
(i) any accident or act of God; or
(j) if the products and/or workmanship are repaired or altered in any way without KeepCup’s prior consent.
Nothing in this clause affects any rights you may have under the CRA.
11. Shipping
We ship all items from the closest assembly warehouse – UK, US or Australia. We locally assemble all products from locally produced packaging, and where possible, locally manufacture components.
Due to the high environmental cost of shipping we do not discount shipping and we pass on actual costs to you. We have a group order facility to ameliorate the cost of shipping multiple orders to a single address.
Any discounts will be applied to products as you add items to the cart, but not to the cost of shipping.
When calculating your total shipping time, please allow assembly time + shipping time from our warehouse. Assembly time will depend on the size of the order, but is generally between 1-10 business days.
Business days are Monday through Friday, excluding weekends and public holidays in the location of the warehouse.
12. Delivery
KeepCup insures each purchase during the time it is in transit until it is delivered to the delivery address nominated by you in the Sales Order.
You agree to make all arrangements necessary to take delivery of the products once notified that they are ready for delivery. Delivery of the products to the nominated address shall be deemed to be delivery of the products to you. The times quoted for delivery are estimates only and KeepCup accepts no liability for failure or delay in the delivery of any products. You are not relieved of any obligation to accept or pay for products by reason of any delay in delivery.
The risk in the products passes to you on the completion of loading of the products at the nominated delivery address.
13. KeepCup IP
KeepCup is the owner of the KeepCup IP and we take action to enforce our rights. The sale of the products does not have the effect of vesting in you any right to any of the KeepCup IP, the ownership of which will remain with KeepCup at all times. No licence is given to you in respect of the KeepCup IP except as is expressly set out in these Sale Terms. You shall promptly give notice in writing to KeepCup if you become aware of any infringement or suspected infringement of the KeepCup IP.
14. General
Assignment: KeepCup may at any time assign, transfer, charge, subcontract or deal in any other manner with all or any of its rights or obligations pursuant to these Sale Terms. You must not assign, transfer, or subcontract any of your rights and/or obligations hereunder without our prior approval.
Termination of the Contract: we may terminate the Contract at any time by writing to you if: (a) you do not make any payment to us when it is due and you still do not make payment within [14] days of us reminding you that payment is due; (b) you do not, within a reasonable time of us asking for it, provide us with information that is necessary for us to provide the products; or (c) you do not, within a reasonable time, allow us to deliver the products to you or collect them from us. If we terminate the Contract in accordance with this clause, we will refund you any money paid in advance for any products we have not provided to you, but we will deduct the net costs we will incur as a result of your breach of the Contract.
Conflict: If there is an inconsistency between any of the provisions of these Sale Terms and your standard terms and conditions, the provisions of these Sale Terms shall prevail.
Force Majeure: KeepCup shall not be in breach of this Contract nor liable for delay in performing, or failure to perform, any of its obligations under this Contract if such delay or failure result from a Force Majeure Event. If the period of delay or non-performance continues for 90 days, you may terminate this Contract by giving 7 days written notice to the KeepCup.
Governing Law: These Sale Terms, together with all our policies and procedures, will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales.
Jurisdiction: You and KeepCup irrevocably agree, for the sole benefit of KeepCup that, subject as provided below, the courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute or claim (including non-contractual disputes or claims) arising out of or in connection with these Sale Terms or their subject matter or formation. Nothing in this clause shall limit the right of KeepCup to take proceedings against you in any other court of competent jurisdiction, nor shall the taking of proceedings in one or more jurisdictions preclude the taking of proceedings in any other jurisdictions, whether concurrently or not, to the extent permitted by the law of such other jurisdiction.
No waiver: No waiver of any of these Sale Terms or failure to exercise a right or remedy by KeepCup will be considered to imply or constitute a further waiver by KeepCup of the same or any other term, condition, right or remedy.
Severability: Any provision of these Sale Terms found to be void, unenforceable or illegal may to the extent necessary be read down or severed from the Contract and the validity or enforceability of the remainder of these Sale Terms shall not be affected.
Survival: Termination of these Sale Terms will not end those provisions that are capable of surviving, and/or which are intended to survive, such termination.
Third parties: Third parties shall have no rights under or in connection with the supply of products in accordance with these Sale Terms.
Additional b2b terms
15. Application
These Additional B2B Terms & Conditions of Sale ("Additional B2B Terms") apply to Commercial Customers. They apply in addition to, and are incorporated into, the General Terms & Conditions Sale Terms ("Sale Terms").
In the event that these Additional B2B Terms are inconsistent with any terms set out in the Sale Terms, the Additional B2B Terms shall apply to the extent of the inconsistency.
16. Sales Orders
A Sales Order which has been accepted in whole or in part by KeepCup cannot be cancelled by you without our prior written approval.
17. Price and payment
You must pay the Purchase Price plus any Additional Charges to KeepCup in accordance with the Payment Terms. Where funds are to be transferred electronically, you shall ensure that all fees and charges are deducted at source and that KeepCup receives the full amount invoiced. If you are in default, KeepCup may at its option withhold further deliveries or cancel future Sales Orders without prejudice to any of its existing rights. Interest for late payment will be charged per annum at the rate of 4% above the HSBC base rate from the due date for payment until the actual date of payment on any overdue amounts.
18. Return of products
Products may be delivered by instalments at the discretion of KeepCup in which case they will be invoiced and paid for in instalments. Where KeepCup delivers less products than you have ordered, or there is damage to the products, or printing or packing errors with the products supplied, you must notify KeepCup in writing within 7 days of the delivery date.
Return of products for change of mind will not be accepted by KeepCup except by prior agreement in writing with KeepCup and may be subject to a 10% restocking fee.
19. Damaged or Incorrect Products
KeepCup warrants that on delivery and for a period of 12 months from delivery, the products will conform with their description and be free from material defects in design, material and workmanship (“Manufacturer’s Warranty”). The Manufacturer’s Warranty is subject to the conditions set out herein and clause 21.
To make a claim under the Manufacturer’s Warranty, you must, within 7 days of the delivery date, notify KeepCup in writing of your claim and provide sufficient information to enable us to identify the issue, together with proof of purchase. You must then clearly label and identify the products with your name and address and return the products to us so that we may inspect them and conduct an assessment of the claim. We may, at our discretion, waive the requirement for the products to be returned to us and may instead request that you provide photographic documentation to enable us to assess your claim. Where we have agreed to re-take possession of products returned to us under a warranty claim, and/or agreed to accept photographic documentation of your claim, we will not be taken to have admitted liability for that warranty claim until we have assessed the claim and provided notice of acceptance of the claim to you.
20. Representations to end-users
Any recommendations we make to you are to be used as guides only and it is your responsibility to wholly consider the products and their suitability for the end-user. We make no representations to your end-users and you shall indemnify KeepCup and its officers, employees and agents in respect of all claims relating to any representations made by you to end-users which are inconsistent with KeepCup’s instructions and guidelines.

Where we store your personal information?
The personal information that we collect from you may be transferred to, and stored electronically at, a location within or outside the United Kingdom. It may also be processed by staff operating outside the United Kingdom who work for us or for one of our suppliers. Such staff maybe engaged in, among other things, the provision of support and administration services. By submitting your personal infomration, you agree to this transfer, storing or processing. These agents have access to the personal information required in order to perform their functions but may not use it for any other purpose and we will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
All personal information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password which enables you to access certain parts of our Site, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share a password with anyone.
How do we keep your information secure?
We employ security measures to prevent unauthorized access to information that we collect online. We use a secure online order form for all purchases made via the Site. All data transmitted via this form (including credit/debit card details) is 128bit encrypted so it is transmitted securely. To verify this, when placing an order using the Site a padlock will appear in your browser. It is normally in the status bar, towards the right-hand side, at the bottom of your browser window. You can double click this padlock to verify that the secure certificate has been issued to the Site.
Please note that email correspondence with us is in free format text and cannot be encrypted. Accordingly, please do not send any sensitive information such as credit/debit card details or passwords via email.
We use computer safeguards such as firewalls and data encryption, and we enforce physical access controls to our buildings and files to keep this data safe. We only authorise access to employees who need it to carry out their responsibilities.
We protect the security of your information while it is being transmitted by encrypting it using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL).
We enforce physical, electronic and procedural safeguards in connection with the collection, storage and disclosure of personal data. We may occasionally ask for proof of identity before we share your personal data with you.
We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal information breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to.
Security
The security of your personal information is important to us, but no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. While we strive to use best available means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
Accessing and correcting your personal information
We try to ensure that all personal information we collect and process about you is accurate, current, and complete. We rely on you to promptly notify us of any changes to your personal information.
Upon request, we will provide you with access to personal information we hold about you related to your use of our products and services. You can submit your request by contacting us. You can request us to make changes to, update, correct or delete your personal information at any time. You can also object to our processing of your personal information, request a restriction(s) on our processing of your personal information, request a transfer of your personal information or withdraw your consent to our processing of your personal information.
We try to respond to all legal requests within one month. Occasionally it could take us longer if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests.
Retention of your information
We will only retain your personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or reporting requirements. We may retain your personal information for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect to our relationship with you.
To determine the appropriate retention period for personal information, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal information, the purposes for which we process your personal information and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or other requirements.
