Terms and Conditions



By using www.maltasupermarket.com you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions. We have set out the guidelines below to let you know what you can expect from us and see the terms on which you place your order. If you do not agree to these terms and conditions please do not use this website.


maltasupermarket.com (hereinafter referred to as the ‘website’) offers online shopping service to addresses in Malta only (Gozo & Comino not included) including homes, offices and yacht marinas. By using or submitting an order (and any subsequent orders) on this website you are agreeing to the terms that appear below.


Use of the website

1.1 To place an order on www.maltasupermarket.com you should be over 18 years of age, have a credit/debit card accepted by us in your name and you must ensure that the details provided by you on registration or at any time are correct and complete.

1.2 You must inform us immediately of any changes to the information that you provided when registering by updating your personal details.

1.3 Do not share your website password created upon registering on www.maltasupermarket.com with anyone. You will be responsible for all activities and orders that occur or are submitted under your password. If you know or suspect that someone else knows your password you should notify us by contacting our Customer Care Department (Email: customercare@maltasupermarket.com) immediately.


Pricing & Delivery

2.1 The prices and offers on the website do not necessarily reflect the prices in our supermarkets. The operations of the website are independent of our partner supermarkets and we may decide to make any extra special offers on the website and not in the supermarkets and vice versa.

2.2 In addition to the price there is a delivery charge of Five Euros (€5) to any of the zones we deliver, unless you spent Seventy-Five Euros (€75) or more, in which case delivery is free. No deliveries are made on Sundays, public and national holidays, and during any stock taking exercise undertaken by the online supermarket.

2.3 Whilst every care is taken to ensure correct pricing online, including but not limited to updating pricing on a daily basis, 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.

2.4 As it is difficult to select loose items such as fruit, vegetables, meat and poultry, etc. to an exact weight, we will charge you for the actual weight picked - and we always try to deliver as closes as possible to the weight you ordered/requested online.

2.5 Pre-Authorisation Procedure: For Your protection and security, and in order to verify the debit or credit card details provided, we will contact your card issuer on the day you checkout your order to request a pre-authorisation of One Euro (€1.00). We will verify your card for One Euro (€1.00) each time you amend your order. It is important to point out that this pre-authorisation is NOT a charge to your card and will not be billed to you. Your card issuer may hold this amount for a short period, but this will never be withdrawn from your account. On the evening before delivery we will request another pre-authorisation for the full order amount in addition to the One Euro (€1.00) pre-authorisation amount. We do this to ensure that your card details are still valid and that you have sufficient funds to complete the transaction. We take NO payments from your account before your order is delivered, so you will only be charged for items once they are delivered. In the unlikely event that the One Euro (€1.00) pre-authorisation is initially unsuccessful (and subsequently approved), and you amend your order following the full value pre-authorisation, you may be pre-authorised twice. However, only one payment will be withdrawn from your card. In a small number of cases, some card issuers may hold the full pre-authorisation amount for a limited time (usually 3-10 days). These funds will NOT be taken from your account and are not held by maltasupermarket.com.

2.6 All prices quoted are inclusive of any Value Added Tax at the rate of 18% or other sales taxes applicable in Malta.

2.7 There is a charge of Five Euros (€ 5) on all deliveries not to ground floor level with no lift.


Payment

3.1 Payment is to be effected via credit/debit cards.

3.2 Please ensure that the expiry date of your payment card is after the anticipated dispatch date of your order. Payment is taken at the point of dispatch for products and in the event that the payment card has expired we will be unable to take payment and/or fulfill your order.


Website maintenance

4.1 From time to time certain parts of, or the whole website may not be available due to maintenance work. We shall give as much notice as in the circumstances is reasonable and shall endeavour to carry out such works during the scheduled maintenance periods. Furthermore, the site or parts of it may not be available to circumstances beyond our control. We apologies for such inconveniences in advance.

7.4 Country of Origin: We take great care to source our fresh produce from sustainable and ethical sources, supporting growers when seasonality and availability permit. This involves produce being sourced when it is in season from various countries around the world. Consequently you may receive the same product from a number of different countries throughout the year. You will be able to see the Country of Origin on the pack at the point of delivery or alternatively you can ring our Customer Care Department store and ask for the country of origin of any item of produce. If the country of origin of our produce does not meet your expectations we will happily refund the money. Please let us know as soon as possible after you receive your order. But remember, we need to receive this within seven (7) days after you received your order. You must store the goods in the manner appropriate to the type of goods (e.g. keep chilled items chilled) as we may require them to be returned and they must be returned to us in the same condition they were delivered to you.


Stock Shortages on Popular Products

8.1 We do our best to ensure that we have consistent availability but we do occasionally run out of some products. When you place your order we will ask if you would like us to substitute an alternative similar product if your chosen products are not in stock at the time we dispatch your order. If you do and when you receive your order, you are still not happy with the substitution, please let us know as soon as you can so that we may handle this in accordance with these terms and conditions. Our drivers are trained to take you through the substitutions on the doorstep so if you let our driver know s/he will take the products away at that time.

  • Newspapers and magazines;
  • CDs, DVDs, videos and computer software, which may be restricted to an exchange for the same title to reduce the risk of unlicensed copying;
  • perishable items;
  • items which cannot be resold for health and hygiene reasons once unwrapped (for example body jewellery, mattresses, bedding, certain items of clothing, personal grooming products, medicines and certain baby products etc.); and/or
