  1.

All prices include the cost of shipping unless otherwise indicated.
     
  2. Registration.  In order to register for an account and start using the TruLOCAL's Services, you must be at least eighteen (18) years old and have a valid credit card or PayPal account. When you enroll for a paid subscription to the Services (a “Subscription”), you will be required to submit your name, credit card information, address, phone number and email address. Any personal information that you submit during the registration process will be treated in accordance with the terms of our Privacy Policy, which you should read carefully.  When you register you will be required to select a password. You are responsible for all activity occurring on your account, and accordingly, you should make sure to choose a strong password, which you should keep secure and not share with any other person.
     
  3. Deliveries.  When you register for the Services, you will have the option to select the frequency of deliveries. We may deliver products for local orders; all other orders shall be shipped using a carrier such as FedEx or UPS. When your signature is not required for a delivery, the products will be left at Your delivery address even if You are not present to receive the products. We cannot guarantee the delivery of any items that do not require a signature, and we expressly disclaim any liability or responsibility for any loss or claim if you do not receive such products, including, but not limited to the cost of procuring substitute goods.  When Your signature is required for a delivery and You are not home to receive the products, the products are returned to the distribution center. It is Your sole responsibility to ensure that You retrieve Your products from the distribution center. The products are vacuum packed and shipped in containers that will keep the products frozen for a period of no more than twenty four (24) hours from the shipping date (and approximately twelve (12) hours after the products first go out for delivery).  Exceptions may apply depending on the type of product being shipped. In no circumstances shall TruLOCAL be held liable for any problems, claims, losses, injuries, illness or other damage to the products arising from your failure to retrieve them from the distribution center and/or ensure they are refrigerated or frozen in the necessary amount of time after any attempted or actual delivery.

You acknowledge and agree that Vendors or Couriers may require valid government-issued photo identification(s) matching the name on the order and proving your age to the Vendor or Courier, and that the recipient is not intoxicated when receiving delivery. If you are unable to meet these conditions to the satisfaction of the Vendor or the courier then alcohol products may be withheld, and any refund for such withholding is at the discretion of the Vendor, Skip or Courier. If you order alcohol and the alcohol is to be delivered, the delivery address must be a residential or private address.
