Lilac Blue Weddings Terms and Conditions of Use of the Site and Provision of Services ("Terms and Conditions").

Introduction

This site is owned and operated by Lilac Blue London Ltd, (company number 4563798), ("Lilac Blue") whose registered office is located at 10 Carlisle Street, London W1D 3BR. For the purposes of these Terms and Conditions, "you" means you in your capacity as user. By using this site you accept these Terms and Conditions. If you do not accept these, please do not use the site or any of Lilac Blue services.

Description of Service

If you log into a Couple's Gift List you will have the opportunity to buy any one or more of these gifts and to have them sent to the Couple's registered address.

Lilac Blue does not provide any equipment or software enabling you to connect to the Lilac Blue Weddings service; you need to provide all necessary equipment. Lilac Blue is not responsible for any costs that you may incur while using the service, such as telephone bills and you are accountable for all such expenses. You are aware that Lilac Blue provides no technical or customer support for any of your equipment/software or connection and we can only assist with any problems you may have relating to the service. Should you have any problems or complaints please call us on 0845 388 1038 or e-mail us at customersupport@lilacblue.com

Placing an Order

Once you have chosen any goods you wish to purchase you will be asked how you wish to proceed with payment for the goods, either by credit card or cheque.

Use of personal information when you place an order

Each time you place an order we collect your credit/debit card details so that we can charge for our service. In order to process the transaction we pass your details onto Lloyds Cardnet Merchant Services. We do not permit the bank to pass your details onto any other third party. By submitting your credit/debit card details you authorise us to charge the cost of the service or products ordered to your card and to pass your details to Lloyds Cardnet Merchant Acquirer Services.

Delivery

Deliveries take place as soon as is reasonably practical according to the Couple’s wishes and the availability of the Gifts purchased.   Deliveries may be carried out by third parties (unless special arrangements are made), and thus Lilac Blue Wedding's ability to guarantee delivery dates is restricted. Lilac Blue will use reasonable endeavours to ensure that delivery dates are met. Where delivery dates are given, they are not guaranteed and time is not the essence of the contract. Deliveries will only be made if the order is deemed complete.

Availability

Whilst every attempt will be made to maintain stock of items, no guarantee of availability can be given. If an item ordered is not immediately available, Lilac Blue Weddings will contact the Couple providing an estimated availability date. The couple will then have the option of cancelling or changing their order.

Prices

Prices are those reflected on the Lilac Blue Wedding's site and are at recommended retail prices.  No additional charge is made for administration or gift wrapping.  Products are purchased from third party suppliers, and therefore prices are subject to change from time to time without notice, however any orders placed at a particular time will be governed by the prices listed on the Lilac Blue Weddings site at the time of the placing of the order. Quoted prices by Lilac Blue Weddings include postage and packing.

Postage and Packaging

There is no charge for postage and packaging if the Couple is registered with Lilac Blue Weddings and the gift is to be sent to the Couple’s home.  A charge for postage and packaging will be added to your order if the gift is going to a non-registered couple. Deliveries are restricted to the UK. If you would like to order something to be delivered to another jurisdiction please e-mail us on inquiries@lilacblue.com.

VAT

VAT is included in the prices reflected on the Lilac Blue site or in any correspondence from Lilac Blue unless otherwise specified, and is charged at the rate then applicable, which is currently 17.5% in the UK.

Ordering

An order is deemed complete if all relevant information requested throughout the order process has been entered correctly and you have agreed to these Terms and Conditions and any others applicable to your order. In the event of an order being deemed incomplete, Lilac Blue will send you an e-mail requesting any missing information and letting you know how to complete your order effectively. Once all the information requested is received by Lilac Blue, then your order will be deemed complete.

Sale of alcohol

If you purchase goods containing alcohol, you must be over 18 years of age when you place your order. In addition, the person to whom you are sending such goods must also be at least 18 years of age at the time of the order placement. During the order process, you must enter a tick into the box provided, confirming that you and the receiver of goods containing alcohol are both over 18 years of age. Failure to do this will result in your order being deemed incomplete.

Hours of business

Lilac Blue may only process orders during core hours of business, which are as follows: 9.00am to 5.30pm Monday to Friday, except UK bank holidays. You may also place orders on the telephone during our hours of business or via-email. An order can be placed via the Internet at any time.

Payment

Payment of all sums due under these Terms and Conditions or any agreement between you and Lilac Blue shall be made by debit, credit card or cheque (on completion of each order) and payment of all such sums shall be made in full (without any set-off, deduction or withholding whatsoever).

Provision of information
