By visiting, registering or making a purchase from the Bespokes website, you agree to the following terms and conditions. This does not affect your statutory rights.
BOOKING & CANCELLATION
We require payment in full upon booking. Cancellations must be received in writing and Gift Boxes returned to us, unopened, within the following 14 days.
It is important that you have taken reasonable care of the unwanted Gift Box and its contents and return it in a re-saleable condition. Returns will only be accepted if the contents are in their original packaging and labelling, undamaged and unused.
You are responsible for the cost of the return postage of your unwanted Gift Box, so we recommend
that registered post is used to be sure it gets back to us.
Gift Boxes are not refundable, however should the recipient prefer an alternative experience, they are interchangeable.
Once the recipient has booked a specific date for their experience, they are bound by our terms and conditions. Once a date is confirmed, it is not possible to change this date unless we agree to a change due to extenuating circumstances. Whereby a date cannot be changed, it will not be possible to issue a refund.
In the unlikely event that we need to cancel the experience after a date has been booked, we will contact you and make arrangements for an alternative date. In the event of cancellation, Bespokes will not be held liable for the cost of lost insurance premiums, travel expenses, pre-booked accommodation costs or any other costs incurred.
PAYMENT & TAXES
All prices are quoted in British Sterling (£) and are inclusive of UK sales tax (VAT) at the present rate. The current rate of VAT is 20%.
All payments must be made in British Sterling (£). We accept Visa, MasterCard, Switch, Solo, Delta and Electron.
If ordering from overseas or from a foreign currency account, you may be charged fees by your bank to process the transaction. These fees are in addition to any prices on our website and are beyond our control.
Postage and packing charges are in addition to the price of any goods and are clearly stated before the point of purchase.
Whilst Bespokes are happy to deliver internationally, customers are liable for any local taxes or import duties incurred as a result of delivering to international destinations.
DESPATCH
Gift Boxes ordered before noon on a weekday for delivery by Second Class Royal Mail will be dispatched the same working day (excluding Bank Holidays). You may request Next Day delivery (for delivery to the UK only) for an additional charge.
Bespokes cannot be held responsible for any goods damaged in the post or any postal delays. Bespokes must wait 7 working days before deeming the Gift Box as lost. You must advise us of non-receipt within 10 days of purchase and Bespokes will re-issue via the original delivery method free of charge.
SECURITY
Gift Box Voucher Codes are valuable documents and cannot be replaced if they are lost, damaged or stolen and are invalid if altered or tampered with. Bespokes accept no liability in these circumstances.
VALIDITY
Gift box voucher codes are valid for 12 months from the date of purchase, unless otherwise stated. A voucher code will be deemed to be invalid if it is out of date (the validity date will be clearly highlighted upon booking. The recipient is free to book their preferred date for their chosen experience. Vouchers codes can only be extended if they are still inside the expiry date. If the recipient is unable to utilise the voucher before the expiry date, then the voucher can be extended for 6 months for a standard administration fee of £50 + VAT.) All experiences should be booked before the expiry date of the voucher code.
