Part 1: Terms of Use for Websites

Welcome to TADL`s bulk ordering website. This page tells you the terms of use (the "Terms") on which you may make use of our websites we make available, whether as a guest or a registered user. Please read these Terms carefully before you start to use our Websites.(as defined below). 

When certain words and phrases are used in these Terms, they have specific meanings (these are known as "defined terms"). You can identify these defined terms because they start with capital letters (even if they are not at the start of a sentence). Where a defined term is used, it has the meaning given to it in the section of these Terms where it was defined (you can find these meanings by looking at the sentence where the defined term is included in brackets and speech marks).

In these Terms, when we refer to "we", "us" or "our", we mean the Company; and when we refer to "you" or "your" we mean you, the person accessing or using the Websites or App.
