3.1.1    conform in all material respects with the manufacturer’s specification subject to any qualification or representation contained in the brochures or other documentation;

3.1.2    be of satisfactory quality;

3.1.3    be fit for any purpose we say the Presents are fit for or for any reasonable purpose which the Couple uses the Presents;

3.3    The warranties in these Terms do not apply to any defect in the Presents arising from fair wear and tear, wilful damage, accident, negligence by You or any third party, if You or the Couple uses the Presents in a way that we or the manufacturer do not recommend, Your or the Couple’s failure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions, or any alteration or repair You or the Couple carry out without our prior written approval.  

3.4    We will take reasonable steps to pack the Presents properly and to ensure that the Couple receive the Presents in good condition.

4.    Delivery

4.1    You agree that we will deliver the Presents to the Couple in accordance with our Agreement with them.  

4.2    Delivery of the Presents will be completed when we deliver the Presents to the Couple’s delivery address as agreed between Us and the Couple.  Please note that delivery may be some time after the Wedding Date and depends upon a number of factors including whether the Couple chooses to delay the ordering of their Presents or for Us to store their Presents.  

4.3    The Presents will be the responsibility of the Couple from the point of delivery at their delivery address.  

4.4    Please note that the Presents may be exchanged at the option of the Couple with Presents of a greater or equivalent value to the Price (for example to make up sets of crockery or glasses).  You agree that where such exchanges are made in respect of the Presents You purchase we will have discharged our responsibilities to You as though the Couple had received the Presents originally selected by You.  

4.5    You acknowledge that the purpose of the Agreement between You and Us is to provide the Couple with a present of equivalent value to the Price (whether this is the original Present or one subsequently exchanged at the request of the Couple).  You agree that We are under no obligation to notify you of any exchanges of Presents that the Couple makes.  

4.6    If for reasons beyond our control the Present You purchase is unavailable We will contact the Couple to arrange for them to choose an alternative Present of equivalent value.  

 

5.    Damaged or Faulty Goods & Returns 

5.1    In the unlikely event that the Presents do not conform with these Terms You or the Couple must let Us know as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event within seven (7) days of delivery of the Presents.  We will then liaise with the Couple to arrange return of the Presents and assess how best to resolve the issue.  We will normally either arrange for repair or replacement of damaged or faulty Presents by the manufacturer.  If a satisfactory resolution cannot be achieved by repair or replacement we will arrange for a refund of the Price to the Couple who may then choose alternative Presents of the same value or higher value provided that the difference is paid by the Couple.  

5.2    These Terms will apply to any repaired or replacement Presents we supply to the Couple.  

 

6.    Price & Payment 

6.1    The Prices of the Presents displayed on the Website are liable to change at any time, but price changes will not affect Orders that we have confirmed in an Order Confirmation.  

6.2    You will note that the prices for Presents may appear in Sterling (GBP), US Dollars (USD) and Euro (EUR);  please note that the USD and EUR prices are for indication only and may be subject to currency and exchange rate fluctuations.  The Price will be the price confirmed on the Order Confirmation we send to You.  

6.3    The Price includes VAT and delivery costs to a UK mainland address.  We will liaise with the Couple regarding any extra delivery costs which fall outside the Price.  

6.4    Payment for all Presents must be made in advance.  We accept payment by most major credit and debit cards (we are unable to accept payment by American Express).  

6.5    We will take reasonable care to keep the details of Your payment secure, but in the absence of negligence on our part we will not be liable for any loss You may suffer if a third party procures unauthorised access to any data You provide when accessing or ordering from the Website.  

6.6    By placing an Order You authorise us to transmit information about You including Your payment and contact details in order that we may authenticate Your identity, validate Your payment, obtain an initial payment authorisation and/or authorise Your Order.  

6.7    You confirm that any card You use for payment is issued to and held by You.

6.8    You acknowledge that Your Order is subject to authorisation by Your bank or card issuer and if for any reason Your Bank or Card Issuer refuses to or does not authorise payment to us we will not be able to despatch the Presents to the Couple.  

6.9    From time to time Couples are left with an outstanding credit balance after delivery of their Presents, due to discontinued lines, unused gift vouchers or similar.  In such event we write to the Couple and inform them of the credit balance and encourage them to order an additional Present or Presents to use up the credit balance.  Any credit balance remaining in a Couple’s account shall remain valid for three (3) years from the date of the Couple’s wedding after which time the credit balance shall expire.   

 

7.    Funds

7.1    If the Couple have selected a Fund You will have the option to contribute to it through the List. Any contributions made towards Funds will incur a 2% handling fee (excluding Charity Funds). As an example, if you gift £100 towards a Fund (excluding Charity Funds), we will charge you £102 in total and the couple will receive your £100 gift. The 2% handling fee only applies to Funds, it excludes Charity Funds. There are no fees when purchasing Branded Product or Custom Products.
