It is an offence to attempt to buy a product if you are under the required age. The offence applies also to any third party attempting to purchase any product on behalf of an under-aged Site user.  

Customers placing orders for the purchase of products on the Site, confirm that they are of the appropriate age to receive and use the specified product so ordered. Any customer ordering a product to be delivered to a third party will be accepting the responsibility that the intended recipient of the order is of the appropriate age to receive and use the product so ordered.

Transaction processing explained:

1. Upon confirmation of your order, a Pre-Authorisation of the total amount of your Order Summary is put on hold in your account. It is important to point out that this pre-authorisation is NOT a transaction but merely an authorisation for the funds. These funds are frozen i.e. put on hold by the card issuer for a short period, this however will never be withdrawn from your account. 
2.  Upon closing your order, you will receive your receipt the amount on the receipt is withdrawn as a transaction from your account. Please note that there might be a slight discrepancy between these 2 figures due to weighted items in your order and/or replacement items.

Please note that in a small number of cases, some card issuers may hold the full pre-authorisation amount for an extended period of time (usually 3-10 days). These funds will NOT be taken from your account and are not held by Greens Supermarket. 

 In the case of third-party card companies for example Revolut, please note that these can take from 7 to 10 days for the transactions to be reconciled and cleared. The timing may differ as it depends on the issuer of the card.

Prices 

The prices quoted on Greens Supermarket's Portal are resale prices and the quality of the products is guaranteed. The prices and offers on the website do not necessarily reflect the prices in our supermarkets. The pricing of the website is occasionally independent of that of the supermarket and we may decide to make any extra special offers on the website and not in the supermarkets and vice versa. 

Whilst every care is taken to ensure correct pricing online, including but not limited to updating pricing daily, the actual amount charged upon delivery might be different from the one shown online especially due to stock price fluctuations upon which we have no control. We only charge for products delivered. All quotes prices are VAT inclusive.

The offers that are advertised on the Greens leaflet are only applicable during the duration of the stipulated dates on the leaflet. When placing an order it is important to choose a delivery date which falls within the dates of the leaflet otherwise the offers would have expired and will be charged at a normal price. The offers are timebound and update automtically on the system, therefore our members of staff do not have acess and are not able to amend the prices.
