By purchasing and receiving meat products from Food Store Direct, you, the consumer, agree to the following terms and conditions related to product spoilage and quality control:

1. Consumer Responsibility for Testing: Upon receiving your shipment, it is your sole responsibility as the consumer to inspect and test all meat products for freshness and quality. We recommend using food-safe thermometers and other reliable testing methods to ensure the meat is suitable for consumption.
2. Liability for Spoilage: Food Store Direct makes every effort to ensure that all shipped meat products are properly packaged and stored to maintain freshness. However, once the shipment is delivered to the specified address, you assume all liability for the condition of the product. This includes, but is not limited to, spoilage due to improper handling, extended storage outside of appropriate refrigeration, or delayed receipt of the product.
3. Shipping Conditions: Meat products are shipped with appropriate cooling and insulation to preserve quality for the duration of transit. However, it is your responsibility to ensure someone is available to receive the shipment promptly upon delivery. If the delivery is left unattended for any length of time, Food Store Direct will not be liable for any resulting spoilage or quality degradation.
4. Returns or Refunds for Spoiled Products: Due to the perishable nature of meat, Food Store Direct does not accept returns for products that are determined to be spoiled after delivery unless the spoilage is determined to have occurred during transit. Claims of spoilage due to shipment issues must be filed within 48 hours of receipt and must include photographic evidence and any applicable testing results. Refunds will be issued if it is determined to be spoiled in transit or if there is an error caused by the producer vendor.
5. Force Majeure: Food Store Direct is not liable for any spoilage, damage, or delay caused by events beyond its control, including but not limited to weather conditions, shipping carrier delays, or other unforeseen circumstances.

By completing a purchase, you acknowledge that you have read and understand these terms and agree to accept full responsibility for the condition of your meat products once delivered.
