The Myprotein Philosophy

We're not one of those big, faceless sports supplements manufacturers trying to rip you off with over-hyped, over-priced rubbish.

As users/athletes ourselves we want products that work, which aren't full of rubbish and don't cost a fortune. Therefore we insist on using only 100% of the finest ingredients in all our bulk supplies and sports nutrition products, with independently conducted tests and verified Certificates of Analysis available for you to see on the majority of our products; we are totally committed to bringing you the very best supplements available from around the world today.

At Myprotein® we are able to respond quickly to the changing needs of our customers, giving you the ability to tailor your supplements to your specific requirements, rather than tailoring your requirements to a given product. And when you shop at Myprotein® you join an entire community of like-minded individuals across our forums, who share a vast wealth of knowledge and experience, ready and willing to pass it on.

Don't be fooled by expensive imitations claiming to offer superior products. We are the original source for alternative supplements and sports nutrition, with absolutely no compromise in quality. Myprotein®, changing the way you buy sports supplements.

Batch Testing

We are 100% committed to providing exceptional quality and assurance in all our products. This is why we work closely with HFL, the world's largest sports drug surveillance and research laboratory. Their programme is supported by a number of recognized sports bodies. Myprotein® products carrying the INFORMED-SPORT logo have undergone rigorous testing using HFL's ISO 17025 accredited Nutritional Supplements Screen to provide the highest level of assurance that they are safe for competitive athletes to use.

The INFORMED-SPORT programme aims to work closely with supplement manufacturers and suppliers by providing high quality analytical testing to minimise the incidence of banned contaminants finding their way into sport. Anyone choosing to use supplements can be assured that products bearing the INFORMED-SPORT logo have undergone rigorous quality testing.

The level of testing carried out under this programme uses a level of sensitivity way beyond routine quality control systems. The INFORMED-SPORT standard provides a defined specification based on the very best scientific expertise and brings reassurance that products bearing the INFORMED-SPORT logo can be trusted.

4. Price of the goods

   1. The price of the Goods shall be Myprotein's quoted price or, where no price has been quoted (or a quoted price is no longer valid), the price listed in Myprotein's published price list (whether published on the Website or otherwise) current at the date of acceptance of the order. Where the Goods are supplied for export from the United Kingdom, Myprotein's published export price list shall apply. All prices quoted are valid for 30 days only or until earlier acceptance by the Buyer, after which time they may be altered by Myprotein without giving notice to the Buyer.
      
   2. Myprotein reserves the right, by giving Written notice to the Buyer at any time before delivery, to increase the price of the Goods to reflect any increase in the cost to Myprotein which is due to any factor beyond the control of Myprotein (such as, without limitation, any foreign exchange fluctuation, currency regulation, alteration of duties, significant increase in the costs of labour, materials or other costs of manufacture), any change in delivery dates, quantities or specifications for the Goods which is requested by the Buyer, or any delay caused by any instructions of the Buyer or failure of the Buyer to give Myprotein adequate information or instructions.

5. Terms of payment

   1. Subject to any special terms agreed in Writing between the Buyer and Myprotein, Myprotein will invoice the Buyer for the price of the Goods on a pro forma basis prior to delivery of the Goods, or where the Goods are to be collected by the Buyer, prior to such Goods being made available for collection by the Buyer. Myprotein shall be under no obligation to deliver the Goods to the Buyer, or make the Goods available for collection by the Buyer, until such a time as payment for the Goods has been received in full by Myprotein.
      
   2. The Buyer shall pay the price of the Goods (without any deduction or set-off) prior to the Goods being delivered to the Buyer or, as the case maybe, made available for collection by the Buyer, and Myprotein shall be entitled to recover the price, notwithstanding that delivery may not have taken place and the property in the Goods has not passed to the Buyer. The time of payment of the price shall be of the essence of the Contract. Receipts for payment will be issued only upon request.
      
   3. If the Buyer fails to make any payment on the due date then, without limiting any other right or remedy available to Myprotein, Myprotein may:
      1. cancel the contract or suspend any further deliveries to the Buyer;
         
      2. appropriate any payment made by the Buyer to such of the Goods (or the goods supplied under any other contract between the Buyer and Myprotein) as Myprotein may think fit (notwithstanding any purported appropriation by the Buyer); and
         
      3. charge the Buyer interest (both before and after any judgment) on the amount unpaid, at the rate of 4 per cent per annum above Barclays Bank plc base rate from time to time, until payment in full is made (a part of a month being treated as a full month for the purpose of calculating interest).
         
      
      
   
   

6. Delivery

   1. Delivery of the Goods shall be made by the Buyer collecting the Goods at Myprotein's premises at any time after Myprotein has notified the Buyer that the Goods are ready for collection or, if some other place for delivery is agreed by Myprotein, by Myprotein delivering the Goods to that place.
      
   2. Any dates quoted for delivery of the Goods are approximate only and Myprotein shall not be liable for any delay in delivery of the Goods however caused. Time for delivery shall not be of the essence of the Contract unless previously agreed by Myprotein in Writing. The Goods may be delivered by Myprotein in advance of the quoted delivery date on giving reasonable notice to the Buyer.
      
   3. Where the Goods are to be delivered in instalments, each delivery shall constitute a separate contract and failure by Myprotein to deliver any one or more of the instalments in accordance with these Terms or any claim by the Buyer in respect of any one or more instalments shall not entitle the Buyer to treat the Contract as a whole as repudiated.
      
   4. If Myprotein fails to deliver the Goods (or any instalment) for any reason other than any cause beyond Myprotein's reasonable control or the Buyer's fault, and Myprotein is accordingly liable to the Buyer, Myprotein's liability shall be limited to the excess (if any) of the cost to the Buyer (in the cheapest available market) of similar goods to replace those not delivered over the price of the Goods.
      
   5. If the Buyer fails to take delivery of the Goods or fails to give Myprotein adequate delivery instructions at the time stated for delivery (otherwise than by reason of any cause beyond the Buyer's reasonable control or by reason of Myprotein's fault) then, without limiting any other right or remedy available to Myprotein, Myprotein may:
      1. store the Goods until actual delivery and charge the Buyer for the reasonable costs (including insurance) of storage; or
         
      2. sell the Goods at the best price readily obtainable and (after deducting all reasonable storage and selling expenses) account to the Buyer for the excess over the price under the Contract or charge the Buyer for any shortfall below the price under the Contract.
         
      
      
   
   

7. Risk and property

   1. Risk of damage to or loss of the Goods shall pass to the Buyer:
      1. in the case of Goods to be delivered at Myprotein's premises, at the time when Myprotein notifies the Buyer that the Goods are available for collection; or
         
      2. in the case of Goods to be delivered otherwise than at Myprotein's premises, at the time of delivery or, if the Buyer wrongfully fails to take delivery of the Goods, the time when Myprotein has tendered delivery of the Goods.
         
      
      
   2. Notwithstanding delivery and the passing of risk in the Goods, or any other provision of these Terms, the property in the Goods shall not pass to the Buyer until Myprotein has received in cash or cleared funds payment in full of the price of the Goods and all other goods agreed to be sold by Myprotein to the Buyer for which payment is then due.
      
   3. Until such time as the property in the Goods passes to the Buyer, the Buyer shall hold the Goods as Myprotein's fiduciary agent and bailee, and shall keep the Goods separate from those of the Buyer and third parties and properly stored, protected and insured and identified as Myprotein's property, but the Buyer may resell or use the Goods in the ordinary course of its business.
      
   4. Until such time as the property in the Goods passes to the Buyer (and provided the Goods are still in existence and have not been resold), Myprotein may at any time require the Buyer to deliver up the Goods to Myprotein and, if the Buyer fails to do so forthwith, enter on any premises of the Buyer or any third party where the Goods are stored and repossess the Goods.
      
   5. The Buyer shall not be entitled to pledge or in any way charge by way of security for any indebtedness any of the Goods which remain the property of Myprotein, but if the Buyer does so all moneys owing by the Buyer to Myprotein shall (without limiting any other right or remedy of Myprotein) forthwith become due and payable.
      
   
   

8. Warranties and liability

      2. Myprotein shall be under no liability under the above warranty (or any other warranty, condition or guarantee) if the total price for the Goods has not been paid by the due date for payment;

   3.

   4. Where the Goods are sold under a consumer transaction (as defined by the Consumer Transactions (Restrictions on Statements) Order 1976) the statutory rights of the Buyer are not affected by these Terms.
      
   5.

   7. Nothing within these Terms shall exclude or restrict Myprotein's liability for death or personal injury resulting from the negligence of Myprotein or its employees whilst acting in the course of their employment or from liability under the Consumer Protection Act 1987.
      
   8.
