Last updated: 12.04.2026

These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) apply to your use of danonnalucia.co.uk (the “Website”) and any products, orders, collection services, delivery services, wholesale supply, event supply, and related services provided by Da Nonna Lucia (“we”, “us”, “our”).

By using the Website, placing an order, making an enquiry, requesting a quote, or booking services with us, you agree to these Terms.

2. Our Services

Da Nonna Lucia provides artisan gelato, desserts, and related food products. We may also offer:

  • retail orders

  • collection services

  • delivery services, where available

  • event catering or event supply

  • wholesale supply to businesses

Availability, flavours, lead times, pricing, minimum order quantities, delivery areas, and service options may vary and will be confirmed at the time of order or booking.

3. Orders, Quotes, and Acceptance

  1. Any quote, estimate, menu, or product availability information we provide is subject to confirmation and may change before acceptance.

  2. An order or booking is only accepted when we confirm it in writing, or when payment or deposit has been successfully processed and we issue confirmation.

  3. We may decline an order where necessary, including for capacity reasons, ingredient availability, location limits, or insufficient notice.

  4. If we cannot fulfil an order that we have already accepted and paid for, we will refund the amount paid, subject to any lawful deductions where costs have already been reasonably incurred and disclosed.

4. Your Responsibilities

You are responsible for providing accurate information when ordering or making an enquiry, including where relevant:

  • your full name

  • contact details

  • billing and delivery details

  • collection details

  • event details

  • requested products and quantities

  • dietary requirements and allergen information

  • an on-the-day contact number, where relevant

You must check your confirmation carefully. If any detail is wrong, tell us as soon as possible. Requested changes after confirmation may not be possible and may result in extra charges.

5. Pricing and Payment

  1. All prices are shown in GBP.

  2. Where applicable, VAT or other charges will be stated at checkout, on invoice, or in writing.

  3. Full payment may be required at checkout for retail orders.

  4. For larger orders, event bookings, or wholesale orders, we may require a deposit or staged payment.

  5. Orders are not secured until any required payment has been received.

  6. Payments may be processed through third-party providers. We do not usually store full card details ourselves.

6. Product Availability and Substitutions

Our products are made in batches and may be seasonal or subject to ingredient supply. We reserve the right to withdraw, amend, or substitute a product, ingredient, flavour, garnish, or packaging where reasonably necessary.

If a substitution is significant, we will aim to contact you before fulfilment where practical.

7. Collection and Delivery

Collection

Where collection is offered, the collection date, time, and location will be confirmed in writing.

You are responsible for collecting your order at the agreed time. If you fail to collect on time, we may be unable to store the products safely or maintain quality. In such cases, the order may be treated as fulfilled and may not be refundable.

Delivery

Where delivery is offered, delivery times are estimates unless expressly agreed otherwise.

You are responsible for ensuring that:

  • the delivery address is accurate

  • someone is available to receive the order where required

  • access instructions are clear

We are not liable for delays or failed delivery caused by incorrect information, access problems, or circumstances outside our reasonable control.

Risk in the products passes to you on collection or successful delivery.

8. Changes to Orders

If you want to change an order, contact us as early as possible.

Changes are subject to:

  • availability

  • preparation status

  • staffing and scheduling

  • ingredient procurement already undertaken

We may refuse changes requested too close to fulfilment. Where changes increase our costs, we may charge the difference.

9. Cancellations and Refunds

Because many of our products are food items, made to order, perishable, or prepared specifically for a customer or event, cancellation and refund rights may be limited once preparation, procurement, or production has started. UK rules on online cancellation generally provide a 14-day cancellation period for many distance sales, but exceptions can apply, including for some perishable and bespoke items. 

Retail food orders

  1. If you wish to cancel, contact us as soon as possible.

  2. If preparation has not started and ingredients have not been committed, we may offer a full or partial refund.

  3. If the order is for perishable goods, made-to-order items, custom products, or goods prepared specifically for your request, cancellation rights may be restricted once work has started.

  4. Any deduction or cancellation charge must be fair and proportionate to actual losses reasonably incurred. 

Event, catering, and wholesale orders

  1. Deposits may be required to secure dates, stock, staffing, or production.

  2. Unless otherwise stated in writing, deposits are generally non-refundable once planning, ingredient ordering, or production scheduling has begun.

  3. If you cancel after we have incurred costs, we may retain or charge an amount that is fair and proportionate to those actual losses. 

Faulty, damaged, or incorrect items

Nothing in these Terms affects your legal rights if products are faulty, unsafe, not as described, or supplied incorrectly.

If there is an issue with your order, contact us as soon as possible and ideally within 24 hours of collection or delivery, with photos and details where relevant.

Where we accept that we are at fault, we may offer, depending on the situation:

  • a replacement

  • a partial refund

  • a full refund

  • store credit

10. Allergens and Dietary Information

  1. You must tell us about any allergies or dietary requirements before placing your order.

  2. We will take reasonable care when providing allergen information.

  3. However, we cannot guarantee a completely allergen-free environment, and cross-contamination may occur.

  4. Ingredient lists, supplier information, and recipes may change.

If you or anyone consuming the products has a severe allergy, contact us before ordering. We reserve the right to refuse an order where we do not believe we can safely meet the requirement.

11. Storage, Handling, and Product Quality

Our products must be stored, transported, and consumed appropriately.

Once an order has been collected or delivered, you are responsible for proper storage and handling in line with any instructions we provide. We are not liable for deterioration, damage, or quality issues caused by incorrect storage, transport, serving conditions, or delay after collection or delivery.

12. Wholesale and Business Orders

Where you order from us as a business, including for resale, hospitality, events, or trade supply:

  • you are responsible for ensuring products are stored and handled correctly after receipt

  • you must not mislabel our products or allergen information

  • payment terms, lead times, minimum order values, and cancellation terms may be separately agreed in writing

  • unless otherwise agreed, risk passes on delivery or collection

13. Complaints

If you have a complaint, please contact us promptly with:

  • your name

  • order reference

  • date of order

  • description of the issue

  • photos where relevant

We will investigate and respond within a reasonable time.

14. Consumer Rights

If you are a consumer, your statutory rights under UK consumer law are not affected by these Terms.

Government guidance states that online customers generally have cancellation rights for many purchases, but these rights can differ depending on the nature of the goods and whether they are perishable or made to the customer’s specifications. 

15. Limitation of Liability

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability where it would be unlawful to do so, including liability for:

  • death or personal injury caused by negligence

  • fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation

  • breach of rights that cannot lawfully be excluded

Subject to the above:

  • we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss

  • we are not liable for loss of profit, loss of business, loss of reputation, or interruption, except where the law does not allow such exclusion

  • our total liability in relation to any order or booking will not exceed the amount paid by you for that order or booking, except where the law requires otherwise

16. Force Majeure

We are not responsible for delay or failure caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including:

  • severe weather

  • transport disruption

  • utility failure

  • supplier shortages

  • staff illness

  • government restrictions

  • events affecting safe production or delivery

Where fulfilment becomes impossible, we may cancel the order and refund sums paid, minus any fair and lawful deduction for costs already reasonably incurred where applicable.

17. Website Use

You must not:

  • misuse the Website

  • attempt unauthorised access to systems or data

  • introduce malware, viruses, or harmful code

  • use the Website for unlawful or fraudulent purposes

We may suspend or restrict access where misuse is suspected.

You may not copy, reproduce, distribute, or commercially use any part of the Website without our prior written permission.
