ORDERING, DELIVERY, PAYMENTS AND BILLING

PAID SERVICES AND TERMS OF SALE

Our Services may include Paid Services, which could require payments now or in the future, such as purchasing products or subscriptions (e.g. shave plans). You can refer to our Help/FAQ section for details on our current Paid Services, shipping terms, cancellation, and refund policies. It's important to note that any payment terms that you encounter while using or signing up for a Paid Service are considered part of these Terms of Service.

You are free to place an order for Paid Services at any time, as long as our Services are available. Before submitting your order by clicking the "Submit Purchase" button on the checkout page, you can review and correct any input errors you may have made. By placing an order, you are making a legally binding offer to purchase the Paid Services as described in your order, subject to the Terms of Service and the specified price and terms. We reserve the right to accept or reject any order. We will not consider your order accepted until we have received payment for the purchase price. After payment processing, we will send you an Order Confirmation to the email address you provided, which you can print for your records. Once the product(s) are delivered to the shipping address you specified and payment has been received in full, title and risk of loss will pass to you. This includes any delivery charges.

The products and services we offer, including our Paid Services, are intended for your personal, non-commercial use only. Once you receive them, you are not allowed to resell, export, redistribute, or use them for any commercial purpose. The rights granted to you under these Terms of Service are personal and cannot be transferred to any other individual or entity.

It's important to understand that we cannot provide refunds, exchanges, or customer service for products obtained from an unauthorized reseller. This includes any seller on online marketplaces like Amazon, eBay, or similar platforms.

DELIVERY

We will fulfill your order within the delivery date specified in the Order Confirmation, or within 30 days after the Order Confirmation if no specific delivery date is mentioned, unless there are unforeseen circumstances that prevent us from doing so.

BILLING

To bill you for our Paid Services, we use a third-party payment processor called Stripe. The Payment Processor will charge the payment account linked to your Account on the Services (your "Billing Account"). Payments will be subject to the Payment Processor's terms, conditions, and privacy policies in addition to our Terms of Service. You can find more information about this in our Privacy Policy. We are not responsible for any errors made by the Payment Processor. By using our Paid Services, you agree to pay all charges for such services at the current prices, as outlined in the applicable payment terms, and authorize us to charge your chosen Payment Method through the Payment Processor. You agree to make payments using the selected Payment Method. We reserve the right to correct any errors or mistakes, even if payment has already been requested or received.

PAYMENT METHOD

The terms of your payment will depend on your Payment Method and any agreements you have with the financial institution, credit card issuer, or other provider of your selected Payment Method. If we do not receive payment from you through the Payment Processor, you agree to pay any outstanding amounts on your Billing Account upon request.

SUBSCRIPTIONS, CANCELLATIONS AND REFUNDS

CONSUMER CANCELLATION RIGHTS

You have the right to cancel your order at any time before delivery, and up to 14 days after the delivery date, starting from the day after the products are delivered to you. If you choose to cancel, you will receive a full refund of the price paid for the products in accordance with our Refunds Policy (refer to the section below).

To cancel an order, you must inform us clearly, preferably by:

• by going to your Account, calling us at 01707 321 823, or emailing us at sales@Bret's.com, giving us your name, address and order reference; or

• by completing and submitting our cancellation form available on the Site here.

After notifying us of the cancellation, you must also return the product(s) to us within 14 days in the same condition as you received them (except for any reasonable steps taken to inspect the product(s) to ensure they meet your order requirements). While the product(s) is in your possession, you have a legal responsibility to take reasonable care of it. If you do not comply with this obligation, we may have the right to deduct from your refund, up to the product(s) price, any costs incurred due to any deterioration (such as usage) of the product(s).

When returning the product(s), please ensure that the parcel is securely packaged, with your name and address included in a note inside the parcel (and an enclosed returns slip, if provided). You may then send the parcel to us through a courier or by recorded delivery mail or other form of certified mail. Our return address is: Bret's Returns Unit 1G, Tewin Court, Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire AL7 1AU, United Kingdom.

Details of the consumer rights described above, and an explanation of how to exercise them, are provided in the Order Confirmation.

REFUNDS POLICY

If you decide to cancel an order within the 14-day cooling-off period (as mentioned above), we will promptly process any refund owed to you, and no later than 14 days after we receive the product(s) back or receive evidence that you have sent the product(s) back to our returns address (as stated above), whichever comes first. The refund will cover the full price paid (excluding any deductions we are entitled to make due to your use of or damage to the product(s)), as well as the cost of standard delivery. However, we will not refund the cost of returning the product(s) to us. If you received any promotional or other discount when you paid, any refund will only reflect the amount you actually paid.

Unless agreed otherwise, refunds will be issued using the same Payment Method that you used for the original purchase.

 

AUTO-RENEWALS AND RECURRING BILLING FOR SHAVE PLANS AND OTHER SUBSCRIPTION SERVICES

The Paid Services may include Subscription Services, such as the purchase of auto-replacing razor blades or other products in a shave plan, which may have an initial period with a one-time charge or a Trial Offer, followed by recurring periodic charges as agreed upon by you when you sign up for such auto-replacing products. These Subscription Services allow you to specify the frequency of your orders. If you do not opt out of a Subscription Service, which can be done through the methods described below, the Subscription Service you have signed up for will be automatically renewed for successive periods of the same duration as the original subscription term, at the current non-promotional rate. You can find more information on Subscription Services on our Help/FAQ page. By selecting a Subscription Service, you acknowledge that it involves recurring payments, and you are responsible for all recurring charges until cancellation.

SUBSCRIPTION CANCELLATION

You can modify or cancel your Subscription Services anytime by accessing your Account, contacting us at 01707 321 823, or emailing us at sales@Bret's.com. If you cancel a Subscription Service, it will not be renewed after the expiration of the current subscription term. Please note that it is your responsibility to inform us in advance of any changes or cancellations to your Subscription Services.

CURRENT INFORMATION REQUIRED

It is your responsibility to ensure that the information provided for your Billing Account is current, accurate, and complete. If any changes occur, such as a change in billing address, credit card number, or credit card expiration date, you must update your Billing Account promptly to reflect such changes. Furthermore, if your Payment Method is lost, stolen, or potentially compromised, such as the unauthorized disclosure or use of your username or password, you must notify us or our Payment Processor immediately. You can update this information on your Account page. Failure to provide accurate and up-to-date information may result in us continuing to charge you for the use of Paid Services under your Billing Account, even if you have terminated your Paid Services as described above.

CHANGE IN AMOUNT AUTHORIZED

Prior to any transaction, you preauthorize a specific amount to be charged to your Billing Account. If the actual amount to be charged differs from the preauthorized amount (excluding any changes in sales taxes), we will provide you with notice of the amount to be charged and the date of the charge before the scheduled transaction date. If you do not wish to proceed with the purchase after receiving this notice, you may cancel it before the scheduled transaction date. Your payment provider's agreement will govern the use of your Payment Method. We may accumulate the incurred charges and submit them as one or more aggregate charges during or at the end of each billing cycle.

REAFFIRMATION OF AUTHORIZATION

By continuing to use a Paid Service, including Subscription Services, you are authorizing us to charge your Payment Method for that service. Your non-termination or continued use of the service confirms this authorization. We may submit the charges for payment and you will be responsible for paying them. This does not waive our right to seek payment from you directly. The payment terms for the service may require payment in advance, in arrears, per usage, or as described when you initially selected to use the Paid Service.

FREE TRIALS AND OTHER PROMOTIONS

If you participate in a Trial Offer for a Paid Service, you must use it within the specified time frame. A valid Payment Method is required to initiate a Trial Offer. To avoid being charged for the Paid Service, you must stop using it before the end of the Trial Offer period. If you are mistakenly charged for a Paid Service after canceling before the end of the Trial Offer period, please contact us at sales@Bret's.com. Trial Offers are available only to new customers and are limited to one per household. Additional terms and limitations may apply, which will be explained in more detail when you sign up for the Trial Offer. Such additional terms and limitations are considered part of these Terms of Service.

TERMINATION

We reserve the right to terminate your access to any or all of the Services, with or without cause, and with or without notice, effective immediately. This may result in the deletion or destruction of all information associated with your Account. If you wish to terminate your Account, you can do so by following the instructions on the Site or through the Services. Unless expressly stated otherwise in these Terms of Service or required by applicable law, any fees paid are non-refundable, even in the event of termination. Certain provisions of these Terms of Service, such as ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, indemnity provisions, and limitations of liability, will survive termination.

DISCLAIMER

We do not make any representations regarding the accuracy, legality, or copyright compliance of any user-generated content that is accessible through the Services. We will not be held responsible or liable for any such material or content. Furthermore, we cannot guarantee that any content or services provided through the Services will be free from viruses or other harmful code. You are solely responsible for implementing appropriate security measures, such as anti-virus software and security checks, to ensure that the content is safe and reliable according to your specific requirements.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

Nothing in these Terms of Service shall limit or exclude our liability to you:

  • for death or personal injury caused by our negligence;
  • for fraudulent misrepresentation;
  • for breach of any term implied by the Consumer Rights Act 2015 and which, by law, may not be limited or excluded;
  • under Part I of the Consumer Protection Act 1987; or
  • for any other liability that, by law, may not be limited or excluded.

Except as expressly provided otherwise in these Terms of Service or required by applicable law, we shall not be liable to you for any business losses, including without limitation, loss of profits, loss of revenue, loss of data, or any other indirect, consequential or economic loss whatsoever. In any event, our total liability to you for any and all claims arising from or related to these Terms of Service shall not exceed the purchase price of the relevant product(s) purchased in the order giving rise to the claim. Our liability is strictly limited to losses that were reasonably foreseeable. Losses are foreseeable where they could be contemplated by you and us at the time your order is accepted by us.

We shall not be held liable or accountable for any delay or failure in the execution of our obligations under any order, which is caused by events beyond our reasonable control.

DISPUTES

You and we agree that any dispute arising from these Terms of Service or any order shall be resolved exclusively by the courts of England. However, if you reside in Scotland or Northern Ireland, you may choose to initiate legal proceedings either in your own country or in England. If we initiate legal proceedings, we may only do so in your country.

The European Online Dispute Resolution platform http://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/ provides information about alternative dispute resolution which may be of interest and we are required to inform you that you may use it if there is a dispute that cannot be resolved between you and us.

GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION

We are required by law to advise you that orders may be concluded in the English language only and that no public filing requirements apply.

We may also impose limits on certain features and services or restrict your access to parts or all of the Services without notice or liability. While we will provide timely notice of modifications, it is your responsibility to periodically check these Terms of Service for changes. Except as otherwise provided in the Disputes section, your continued use of the Services following notification of any changes to these Terms of Service constitutes your acceptance of those changes.

MISCELLANEOUS

ENTIRE AGREEMENT AND SEVERABILITY

If any provision of these Terms of Service is found to be unenforceable or invalid, such provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that these Terms of Service will otherwise remain in full force and effect and be enforceable. The failure of either party to exercise any right provided for herein shall not be deemed a waiver of any further rights hereunder.

Each coupon code has a specific redemption period as indicated with the coupon code itself. Reproduction, resale, modification, or trade of coupon codes without authorization is strictly prohibited.
