Website Terms & Conditions

These terms and conditions ("Consumer Terms and Conditions") apply your use of the gift voucher web site ("Website"), and when you purchase a The Wellesley  gift voucher ("Gift Voucher"). 

We are The Wellesley , however, as you have selected to purchase a Gift Voucher, we would draw your attention to the fact that this section of the Website is managed by SK Chase Limited ("SK Chase"), who acts as an agent for The Wellesley  and who will collect payments from you on behalf of The Wellesley . SK Chase is a company incorporated in Scotland (No SC253912) with its registered office at 31 Palmerston Place, Edinburgh, EH12 5AP.  The The Wellesley  website has separate terms and conditions which apply to the use of that website. 

Before placing an order on the Website, you will be asked to agree and to be legally bound by these Consumer Terms and Conditions. Please read them carefully before you submit your order. If you do not accept these Terms, you will not be able to order any products from the Website.

We, The Wellesley  reserve the right to vary these Consumer Terms and Conditions from time to time. It is your responsibility to regularly review these Consumer Terms and Conditions before each purchase to keep up to date with any changes to them. If you opt to cancel and you have ordered more than one Gift Voucher, you can cancel in respect of one Gift Voucher or all of the Gift Vouchers. After receipt of your notice of cancellation, SK Chase will arrange a full refund of the price you have paid on our behalf, which shall include any delivery charges if you have selected the postal option for delivery (irrespective of whether you have already received the Gift Voucher).  If you have already received the Gift Voucher which you have cancelled, you should destroy it.   Because you are a consumer, we are under a legal duty to supply products that are in conformity with our contract with you.  As you are a consumer, you have legal rights in relation to products that are faulty or mis-described.  These legal rights are not affected if you exercise your rights to cancel or by the operation of any other terms in these terms and conditions.  Advice about your legal rights, including your right to cancel the contract, is available from your local Citizens' Advice Bureau or Trading Standards office.

That acceptance will be deemed complete and will be deemed for all purposes to have been effectively communicated to you at the time SK Chase (on behalf of The Wellesley ) sends the Confirmation to you.. The Confirmation amounts to an acceptance by The Wellesley  of your offer to buy Gift Voucher(s) from Customer or a third party supplier that is engaged by The Wellesley .

1.3 You must check that the details of the Confirmation are correct as soon as possible and you should print out and keep a copy of it.

By Surface mail, it may take up to two weeks for Western Europe, four weeks for Eastern Europe, and up to eight weeks elsewhere.  If your item is not delivered, please allow up to 25 days after posting before you consider it lost.  This is because your item may have been held in customs or be in the process of being returned to sender if it could not be delivered for some reason.

 

 

  1. Email (Where Available) - An automatic email with a Gift Voucher link will be sent as soon as the transaction is completed. This can be sent to either the purchaser or the recipient. This is a system generated email and therefore may go to the email recipient's junk or spam email folder. Please also take care when entering email address that it is correct. If an email delivery fails we will attempt to contact you to advise that the email has been returned to us 'undelivered' and will try to get another email address. If you have difficulty opening your Gift Voucher link please see below.

2.6  On some occasions where SK Chase has dispatched your Gift Voucher order it gets lost in the post.  If you have not received your order 5 days after placing the order (or 25 days in the case of International Signed For delivery), please contact SK Chase in accordance with the contact details set out in clause 4.1.  SK Chase may need to cancel your original order and issue you with a new Gift Voucher.  In this situation you should destroy the original Gift Voucher if it is eventually received as it will no longer be valid.

2.7       If the delivery deadline for any Gift Vouchers is missed and any of the following apply, then you may cancel your order straight away:

If you do not wish to cancel your order straight away, or do not have the right to do so under this clause 2.7, you can give SK Chase (acting as The Wellesley 's agent) a new deadline for delivery, which must be reasonable, and you can cancel your order if the new deadline is not met.

If you do choose to cancel your order for late delivery under this clause 2.7 and you have ordered more than one Gift Voucher, you can cancel in respect of one Gift Voucher or all of the Gift Vouchers, unless splitting them up would significantly reduce their value. After you cancel your order SK Chase (on behalf of The Wellesley ) will refund any sums you have paid to SK Chase for the cancelled Gift Voucher and its delivery.
