Sobeys reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to limit quantities of items purchased per person, per household or per order or otherwise from time to time. You will be Contacted if such limits or prohibitions are applied to an order by you.
In respect of Transactional Sites on which it is possible to order products which under the laws of the applicable jurisdiction require you to be of a certain age (for example, the age of majority) in that jurisdiction (for example, beer and wine), only persons of that age in the applicable jurisdiction may place orders for such products, and by placing such an order you represent and warrant that you are of the applicable age.
Methods of payment applicable to any particular order are indicated on the applicable Transactional Site. You authorize Sobeys to process payment of the applicable purchase price via the payment mechanism you select from the available choices, and you represent and warrant that you are authorized to use the applicable card. If your payment is by credit card and is rejected by the card issuer or processor, your order will not be filled and Sobeys will have no obligation in respect of it.
The version of these Terms (including without limitation the Transaction Terms) applicable to an order or other transaction by you on a Transactional Site is that in effect on the date and at the time you place your order, as made available on the applicable Transactional Site at that time. Each time you place an order, you represent and warrant that you have accessed, read and accepted the then-applicable terms governing that order.
