Our Nitrous Oxide Policy & Customer Agreement
Our Nitrous Oxide Policy
Our products include an extensive range of whipped cream making equipment, including cream chargers that contain potentially lethal Nitrous Oxide (N2O) gas. With the introduction of the Psychoactive Substances Act 2016, we are legally required to carry out due diligence checks to ensure these products don’t fall into the hands of those who may intend to abuse or misuse them. All Nitrous Oxide products for sale on this website are for use in the preparation of food and beverages only. We retain the right to refuse to sell to anyone we suspect may have the intention of misusing our products.
We have a number of measures in place to prevent misuse of our N2O products:
We operate a KYC (Know Your Customers) Policy. We will conduct due diligence on checks prior to dispatch.
All customers must be over the age of 18 to purchase any of our Nitrous Oxide products. All customers will be required to provide a form of ID proving this. We accept the following:
All customers must agree to our Declaration of Use to confirm that they: understand the risks associated with N2O misuse and guarantee that our products will only be used for food/beverage preparation and not be misused in any way.
Couriers will only deliver to the named purchaser. ID will be required for all deliveries for all customers. We do not operate a Think21 or Think25 Policy. All customers will be required to provide ID prior to dispatch and upon delivery.
If we believe you are purchasing cream chargers for the purpose of misuse, we will refuse the sale, in which case we will store your details in our secure customer database, and you will not be able to purchase from us again in the future.
We do NOT ship orders to University halls of residence, colleges, schools or hospitals.

MISUSE: buying cream chargers as a source of Laughing Gas Nitrous Oxide is sold only for the purpose of catering - we do not condone any off-label usage.
