Our Agreement includes all correspondence from us to you and the descriptions of the Goods as provided by us on our Website or otherwise.

 

  1. COLOUR AND STYLE REPRESENTATIONS

We are under a legal duty to supply goods that are in conformity with the contract. Computer monitors, mobile and tablet screens vary in their reproduction of colour and though we strive for accuracy, all picture colours, products and swatches displayed should be regarded as approximations.

 

  1. PRICES

All prices are listed in Pounds Sterling (£GBP). For international orders, your payment card provider will take payment in your local currency at the prevailing exchange rate.

Orders are subject to acceptance by the company and to availability of goods and will be charged at the prices ruling at the time of order purchased. Delivery costs will be those as quoted at the time of placing the order unless subsequently agreed otherwise by the customer. Unless stated otherwise, all prices include VAT (where applicable) but exclude delivery costs (which will be notified to you separately before you submit your order).

The price of the Goods shall be the price quoted by us on our Website on the Order Summary Page, unless agreed otherwise by us in writing. We reserve the right to amend any typographical clerical error or omission to prices where reasonable to do so (see 12). The price is inclusive of any payable value added tax in the UK and postage and packaging detailed once delivery services have been chosen

3.1 Promotional Code Usage

We always seek to give our loyal customers the best value and the best prices and as such we are always working hard to offer a great range of promotions throughout the year. However to make sure we are able to continue to offer such a great range of promotions we hope you understand we have to be quite strict about how they are used!

3.1.1 Only one (1) promo or type of promotion is permitted per order and the promotional code will

typically be applied to the lowest value item first. In circumstances where multiple promo codes are valid on a single product, the largest discount will be applied

3.1.2 Promo codes are controlled based on a user's account, the Company therefore reserves the right to define the criteria for user's account at it's own discretion and will take

into account all contact details provided by the customer in order to do so. Setting up multiple accounts in order to take advantage of promotions will be considered abuse and will result in such orders being cancelled.

3.1.3 Discount codes cannot be used in conjunction with any other promotions and is only applicable against products on the Wine Freedom website.

3.1.4

Wine Freedom reserves the right to remove the promotion at any time without

prior notice.

3.1.5 Daily Deals are valid on selected styles only. Codes can't be used in conjunction with any other promotion code, student offer or other daily deal. Wine Freedom reserve the right to amend or remove codes at any time. Each promotion is valid for 24 hours.

If goods are in stock, it is our intention to deliver to you within the time frame stated at the point of purchase. If goods are out of stock then we will endeavour to deliver within 30 days or you have the right to cancel the order.

In these circumstances our Customer Services Team will be happy to present you with options. If your goods are out of stock and discontinued so that we are unable to source the goods, we will make every effort to offer you an alternative if possible. If these alternatives are not acceptable, you may cancel your order at any time.

If your chosen products are in stock your Order will be processed as quickly as is reasonable to do so. We will deduct the price payable for your chosen products and delivery services from your nominated credit card or method of payment and your chosen products will be despatched to you forthwith.

Should UK Customers not receive their chosen products within 5 to 7 working days of us confirming their availability to you, please contact us to let us know. You will then be given the choice of:

- Cancelling your order whereupon we will refund the Price you paid or;

- Requesting that we despatch further products to you (subject to availability) on the basis that you return one set of the products you receive should you receive two sets or;

- Waiting a further agreed time period after which if your chosen products have not been received the previous two options will be available to you.

Please be aware that you will lose your right to cancel a contract for the provision of services during the cancellation period once we have commenced activation of the services or you use the services, whichever is the earlier.

Cancellation Consequences

If you are in possession of the goods, you are under the duty to retain them and take reasonable care of them.

Once you have notified us that you wish to cancel the contract, any sum debited to us will be credited to your account as soon as possible and in any event within 14 days of your cancellation. We may reduce the amount we refund to you if you use them, damage them or otherwise do something beyond what is reasonably necessary to examine them that reduces their resale value.

Where we collect an item from you we reserve the right to charge the direct costs of recovery from the payment card used for the original order.

  1. RETURNS AND DISSATISFACTION

Under the Consumer Contracts regulations, you have the Statutory Right to return the Goods to us if you are not satisfied with them, provided they are returned in the same condition in which they were sent within 14 calendar days of your receipt of the Goods.

You may request replacement products, which we will Despatch to you (subject to availability) once we receive the original products which have been returned. We will process your return free of charge as long as the return is received within 14 days of your original purchase. For any returns received after this period you will incur a charge of £3.95 to return your item back to us.

For our International Customers you must send the goods back to us in their original condition at your own cost (unless we delivered the item to you in error or if the item is damaged or defective) within 14 days of your receipt of the goods.

Return of faulty or damaged goods should be made in accordance with the arrangements detailed in our Returns and Exchanges section of the Website; or as otherwise specified for special times of year such as Christmas when there is usually an extended returns period offered, the details of which will be published clearly in the Customer Services section of the website.

If you return the goods to us because you have cancelled your purchase within the 14 day cancellation period, we will process the refund due to you as soon as possible and in any case, within 14 days of the day you have given notice of your cancellation. In this case we will refund the price of the goods in full, including the cost of sending the item to you. However, you will be responsible for the cost of returning the item to us;

*If you are not satisfied with a product for any reason e.g. if it is not what you ordered, it is damaged or defective, or we have delivered an incorrect quantity, please return the product to us. Once we have confirmed the product defect or other problem, we will:

- Provide a full refund for any goods that are damaged or defective, if this is within a reasonable time following the sale; or

- Repair or replace the goods at our cost (including the cost of postage), unless this would not be possible or would be disproportionately costly in the circumstances, in which case we will refund to you the amount paid by you for the goods in question.

We will usually refund any money received from you using the same method originally used by you to pay for your purchase.

Whilst you do not need to give us any reason for cancelling your contract and nor will you have to pay any penalty, it is essential that you return the goods to us in the same condition in which you received them. You have a legal obligation to take reasonable care of the goods while they are in your possession.

If you fail to comply with this obligation, we may have a right of action against you for compensation.

9.2 Your right to cancel may not exist if it falls outside of these given time frames and provisions.

9.3 The provisions within clause 9 do not affect your other rights under law as a consumer.
