For these reasons you should not rely on the information presented, but should always read labels, warnings, and directions before using or consuming a product.

7. PRICING AND PROMOTIONS.
1. General
The prices applicable to your order will be those in place at the time the order was created, not the time of delivery or pick-up. Product prices and promotions posted on the Service, or those sent to customers by personalized e‑mail or any other online or digital method, are good only for the dates indicated. Such offers, promotions may not be available in physical World Food Mart store or on other sites or services. Likewise, offers, promotions offered in physical World Food Mart store or on other sites or services may not be available through the Service. Prices at physical World Food Mart store or on other sites or services may vary from the prices listed on the Service, and thesstore will have no obligation to honor or match such prices if an order has not been placed on the Service or if a promotion does not apply. In the event a product or service is listed at an incorrect price due to a typographical or other error, World Food Mart shall have the right to refuse or cancel any orders for products or services listed at the incorrect price, whether or not the order has been confirmed. Prices are in U. S. dollars, are subject to change, and do not reflect any applicable taxes. The final taxes and fees will be calculated on the day your order is delivered or available for pick-up.
2. Variable Weight Items
The per item price you see in your shopping cart for items we price by the pound/ounce is based on an estimated weight. The final price of these items will be based on the same price per pound/ounce indicated upon completion of checkout, but the actual price is determined once we have prepared and weighed your order, and will appear on the invoice or receipt you receive at the time of delivery or pick-up.
3. Promotion Codes
Promotion codes are valid only on orders placed via the Service, subject to the terms of this section. Promotion codes can be applied to your order by entering the code at checkout. All promotion codes have an expiration date after which they will no longer apply. Promotion codes may be adjusted if the total discount value is greater than the value of your order. We reserve the right to withdraw or cancel any of our promotion codes at any time, either as a whole, or for specific goods or delivery areas. If this happens, then the promotion codes may not be used for any orders placed after the date of withdrawal or cancellation. We reserve the right to reject or cancel the use of a promotion code where fraud or illegal misuse is suspected. You will have no claim against us in respect of such rejection or cancellation of a promotion code. We shall not be liable to any customer or household for any financial loss arising out of the cancellation or withdrawal of any promotion code or any failure or inability of a customer to use a promotion code for any reason. Any coupons applicable to your order will be applied at checkout automatically, subject to our Coupon Policy.
4. Reservation of Rights
All product, service and program features, including availability, prices, charges and fees in effect, are subject to change at any time without notice. World Food Mart reserves the right, with or without prior notice, to limit the availability of or discontinue any product, service or program; to impose conditions on the use of any coupon or other promotion; to bar any user from making any purchase; and/or to refuse to provide any user with any product or service. Certain products, services and programs are subject to additional terms, conditions, policies and disclosures.
8. ORDERS AND BILLING.
1. Maximum Order Value; Placing an Order
There is no minimum order value and a maximum order value of $600, which may change from time to time. You can place your order up to seven (7) days before your delivery or pick-up date. For same day service after 4 pm, orders must be received before 9 am. For next day service, orders must be placed before 9 pm the night before. Available delivery windows, pick-up days and associated delivery fees and promotions will be shown as you proceed through the ordering process. Your order will contain an invoice that will list all of the items you have received and were billed for, and you can always find a copy in the Your Account section of the Service. If something is missing from your order, please email or call us at Contact Us (or at Talk To Us
2. Modifying or Canceling an Order
You can modify or cancel an existing order (including adding or deleting items or changing the delivery or pick-up date) until forty-eight (48) hours prior to the delivery or pick-up time, unless your order has already been prepared for delivery or pick-up. Modifications or cancellations can be made via the order review page or by calling the store. Note that if you modify an order the price will be changed to reflect any products or services you added or removed from your order and the prices applicable at the time of your modification. If you change the delivery or pick-up date, we may not be able to guarantee the availability of your desired items. If you cancel an order (that has not already been prepared for delivery or pick-up) less than forty-eight (48) hours prior to the delivery or pick-up time, you will be charged a cancellation fee of $5 and a restocking fee equal to 20% of the total dollar amount of your order (excluding delivery fees, shipping and taxes).
3. Substitutions
Although our goal is to fulfill 100% of each order, from time to time some products may be unavailable due to market conditions beyond our control. If you have enabled substitutions on your order, we may substitute an item that's very similar to an unavailable item you ordered. If we are unable to fulfill your entire order we will make every reasonable effort to contact you prior to making a substitution. If you're not happy with the replacement, please email or call us at Contact Us (or at Talk To Us .
4. Credit and Debit Cards; Billing
A credit or debit card will be required for all orders made through the Service. You authorize World Food Mart to charge you for all products or services purchased by you through the Service, plus applicable taxes and fees, to the payment method you provide. "Charge" shall indicate either a charge or a debit, as applicable, against your payment method. If you request a purchase on a recurring basis, you acknowledge that the applicable prices will be those in effect on the date the recurring order is fulfilled and agree that World Food Mart may automatically charge the payment method you have provided at the regular intervals you have designated, unless and until you cancel by logging into your World Food Mart account and canceling your subscription. World Food Mart may change the price of any subscribed product or service at any time in its sole discretion. You represent that you have the legal right to use any payment method that you submit to World Food Mart. We are unable to accept food stamps at this time for purchases through the Service.
Your credit or debit card will be charged for your order on the day your order is delivered or picked-up. Since certain perishables are priced by weight and the actual price is not known until we have prepared and weighed your order, at the time your order is placed we request credit or debit card authorization for up to 125% of the estimated cost of perishables, but only charge you the actual cost that is determined after preparing and weighing your order. In addition, at the time your order is placed we will authorize your credit or debit card for an amount equal to 100% of the total of the non-perishable items in your order. If a credit or debit card authorization expires prior to the pick-up or delivery of your order, we may request another authorization for the same amount. We will not process orders that attempt to use an incorrect, expired, or over-the-limit credit or debit card. We will attempt to contact you if this occurs. However, in the event such an order is processed, we reserve the right to collect funds for any uncollected transactions owed to us.
We may charge a fee of $4.99 per order should a payment made via credit or debit card be declined, but we will attempt to contact you and change the payment method first. If you fail to pay any fees or charges when due or if a re delivery fee, cancellation fee or restocking fee is imposed, we may charge such amount directly to the credit or debit card connected to your account and we may suspend or terminate your access to our delivery and/or pick-up service. You shall be responsible and liable for any fees, including attorneys' fees and collection costs, that we may incur in our efforts to collect any unpaid balances from you. Your right to use our delivery and pick-up service is subject to limits established by us and/or by your credit or debit card issuer.
5. Reservation of Rights.
All orders placed through the Service are subject to World Food Mart’s acceptance. World Food Mart may require verification of information prior to the acceptance and/or fulfillment of any order. Your receipt of an order confirmation does not signify World Food Mart’s acceptance of your order. World Food Mart reserves the right at any time after receipt of your order to accept or decline it for any or no reason and without liability to you or anyone else. If your method of payment has already been charged for an order that World Food Mart later cancels, World Food Mart will issue you a refund. All orders, returns and refunds for products and services are subject to World Food Mart’s Refund Policy. We reserve the right to limit your order or the quantity of a particular product that you may order.
9. DELIVERY TERMS.
1. Requirements and Fees
You or an alternate receiver must be present during your selected delivery window. If not, your items will be left at the front door. We will not be liable for items after they are delivered. If we are unable to deliver an order for any reason, we will use reasonable efforts to contact you and reschedule delivery (a $5 re delivery fee applies) for the next day. If we are still unable to deliver the order to you for any reason, the order will be canceled and you will be charged a cancellation fee of $5 plus a restocking fee equal to 20% of the total dollar amount of your order (excluding delivery fees, shipping and taxes).
A delivery fee may be added to your order. Any such fee is not a gratuity for the individual who delivers or is otherwise involved with the delivery of your order and will not be given to any such individual as a gratuity. You are under no obligation to tip anyone involved with the delivery of your order. We aim to deliver your goods within the delivery window you selected when placing your order, but do not guarantee that goods will be delivered on or by a certain time or date, as applicable. We will not be liable for delivering the goods outside of the requested delivery window.
2. Restrictions
Given the heavy weight of some of our products, we may have purchase limits on a variety of items on the Service. Also in the interest of safety, we do not deliver to walk-ups (a building without an elevator) above the 5th floor, or deliver more than 3 cases of beverages above the 4th floor. In the event of a broken elevator, we also do not ask delivery personnel to carry groceries more than 5 floors. We may limit or cancel deliveries when orders exceed these requirements. In an effort to meet the committed delivery time for all of our customers, delivery personnel cannot wait for an inspection of the items delivered.
10. ENTIRE AGREEMENT; SEVER ABILITY.
These Terms and Conditions constitute the entire agreement with respect to your access to and use of the Sites. You may also be subject to additional Terms and Conditions that may be applicable to certain parts of the Sites. If any provision of these Terms and Conditions is unlawful, void or unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed sever able from the remaining provisions and shall not affect their validity and enforce ability. Not withstanding the foregoing, under no circumstances do the parties agree to class-arbitration. If a court refuses to enforce the waiver of class-wide arbitration, the entire arbitration provision shall be unenforceable and any claims brought on behalf of a putative class will proceed in court.
11. ERRORS ON THE SERVICE.
