Please read these terms and conditions carefully as they set out the terms under which scribbler.com (the "Website") sells and otherwise makes products available to you ("Terms and Conditions"). Scribbler is a trading name of Scribbler Holdings Limited a company registered at 9 Harmsworth Street, London, SE17 3TJ. (company registration 01863486) ("we" and "us"; and "our" shall be construed accordingly). By purchasing products available on this Website, you as the customer will transact with us.

These Terms and Conditions should be read alongside, and are in addition to, our privacy policy ("Privacy Policy") and our Terms of Use ("Terms of Use").

We recommend that you print off and keep a copy of these Terms and Conditions for your future reference. By purchasing any product available on this Website, you agree that you have read, understood and agree to these Terms and Conditions, the Privacy Policy and the Terms of Use in their entirety (including as amended from time to time). If you do not agree to these Terms and Conditions, you must not purchase any product available on this Website.

Placing your order

By placing an order through our website, you warrant that you are legally capable of entering into binding contracts and you are at least 18 years old.

Due to the Licensing Act 2003, we are not permitted to sell alcoholic products to anyone under 18. We may refuse an order or delivery of alcoholic items at our discretion. By placing an order for alcohol, you confirm that you and the person the order is sent to are aged 18 years or over.

Prices

The prices payable for the items that you order are clearly set out on this website. Items imported into the UK from Guernsey are potentially subject to the Low Value Consignment Relief. Where the intrinsic value of goods is less than £15.00 (excluding any postage and packaging), the consignment is free from import VAT. Where the value of the item exceeds £15.00, you are liable to pay import VAT on your purchases. All prices are expressed inclusive of any VAT payable. Prices can change and we endeavour to keep our prices updates at all times.

Prepay

Definition

We offer our online customers the facility to make advance payment for future orders. In return for this advance payment we will give you bonus credits that can also be used against the purchase of cards and gifts from our website. This scheme is referred to as 'Prepay'. We reserve the right to change the name of the scheme but the same terms shall apply to any scheme involving advance payment for our products.

Recording

Prepay credit is purchased on our website in the 'My Account' area under 'Prepay' and all paid for credits and bonus credits are separately recorded. Your total credit balance at any time is also shown in the 'Prepay' section of 'My Account'. Bonus credits are calculated at a certain % of the Prepay amount paid for, as follows:

£30.00 + £3.00 (10% bonus)

£50.00 + £7.50 (15% bonus)

£100.00 + £20.00 (20% bonus)

Please note that it can take up to 24hrs for the extra bonus % of Prepay credit to be added to your account balance.

Purchasing

Once the Prepay has been obtained, when next ordering on our website, we will check your balance of Prepay and bonus credits at the checkout. Applicable products will then be paid for by drawing down the Prepay and bonus credits automatically, and this amount will be deducted from your total Prepay balance. 

Payments made on Prepay will be deemed as payment for cards and gifts from Scribbler's website only. Prepay is unavailable for certain gift products on our website. Please check the specific product page for information on its inclusion in the scheme. Prepay credit cannot be used to purchase products sold at any of our physical Scribbler shops.

Your Prepay credit is available for 12 months from the day of purchase. After 12 months have passed, if your credit remains unused then please be aware that this may be removed from your account.

Liability

Our liability to you will be to provide cards and gifts to the value of the account balance. Credit balances will not be returned except in cases where you have received defective cards and specifically requested a refund of the cash balance held in the Prepay account.

Cooling Off Period

If you change your mind after making payment, you may request a refund by contacting our Customer Service Team within 14 days of the transaction, and only if the Prepay has not yet been used. Refunds can only be made to the credit or debit card used to make the original purchase. Beyond this 14 day period refunds cannot be issued on Prepay purchases.

Refunds for Prepay will not include any bonus credit.

Availability

If for any reason beyond our reasonable control, we are unable to supply a particular item, we will notify you as soon as possible. We will contact you to confirm that you are happy to proceed with the order and agree to wait for the original product(s) or would like to select an alternative product.

Supply of Goods

The cards and other products sold by us through our website are manufactured and shipped from a range of different in-house and third-party production facilities based in the United Kingdom, Guernsey and overseas. Our suppliers of alcoholic goods are fully licensed under the terms of the Licensing Act 2003.

Contract

There will be no contract of any kind between you and us until payment for your goods is authorised by your bank or credit card issuer. At any point up until then, we may decline to supply the goods to you without giving any reason. At the moment that payment for the goods is authorised (and not before) a contract will be made between you and us ("Contract"). Authority for payment must be given at the time of the order. Payment for your order will be taken once stock availability has been confirmed. If for any reason the goods cannot be supplied then payment will be refunded in full within 30 days from cancellation of the sale in compliance with distance selling legislation.

Delivery

Delivery will be made to the UK or international address (cards only) specified by you. We will make reasonable endeavours to dispatch gift orders received before 1pm and card orders received before 3pm on the same day, and orders received after these cut-off times on the next working day (excluding weekends and UK Bank Holidays). Customers may also select the day of dispatch up to 12 months in advance. All card orders will be delivered by Royal Mail (or other commercial carrier at our discretion).

Scribbler are not liable for any mistakes made on customer entered delivery addresses, but we will do our best to help resolve this situation by amending the address if your order is yet to be dispatched, or offering a resend to an updated delivery address if the order has already been dispatched from us.

Please contact us with your order number and full new delivery address to do so.

Returns

We are unable to accept returns, or provide refunds for print on demand, personalised or made to order products, unless the product is defective or we are otherwise in breach of our agreement with you and are obliged to do so.

To obtain a refund, please contact our Customer Service Team before returning the product(s) to us in the same condition in which you received them. We will examine the returned product(s) and will notify you of your refund via email within a reasonable period of time. We will usually process the refund due to you as soon as possible and, in any case, within 30 days of the day we confirmed to you via email that you were entitled to a refund for the defective product. Products returned by you because of a defect will be refunded in full, including a refund of the delivery charges for sending the item to you and the reasonable cost incurred by you in returning the item to us.

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

Products must be returned to the following address:

Scribbler Customer Services
9 Harmsworth Street
London SE17 3TJ

Note that the right to cancel or return a product as described above does not apply to any food, drink or other products which normally deteriorate rapidly.

Payment & Security

You can pay with any Visa, MasterCard, Maestro, American Express or Visa Delta card, or via PayPal. Your payment card details will be encrypted to minimise the possibility of unauthorised access or disclosure. Authority for payment must be given at the time of order. It may be necessary to re-confirm your security number for data protection reasons. Payment will be taken for out of stock product(s) to secure stock, only if you are happy to proceed with the order and agree to wait for the product(s). Payments for products will be itemised on your bank statements as showing payment to Scribbler Limited.

The purchase on our website will be made in pounds Sterling. International credit card providers or banks will determine the exchange rate and may add an additional processing or administration charge in relation to such payment which holders of international credit cards will be liable to pay.

Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, our liability to you in respect of an order shall be limited to the value of that order, and we shall not be liable to you for any indirect, consequential, special or punitive loss, harm or damage (including economic loss, loss of profit, loss of revenue, loss of business, wasted expenditure or depletion of goodwill) whatsoever or howsoever caused, including, without limitation, as a result of our negligence. For the avoidance of doubt nothing in these terms and conditions excludes our liability in respect of death or personal injury caused by our negligence; under section 2(3) of the Consumer Protection Act 1987; or for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.

We use Internet standard encryption technology to protect your data when you transmit it to us. When you use your credit card, all your data is encrypted and held on a Secure Socket Layer (SSL) server. We are constantly updating our technology to provide you with the maximum practicable level of security.

You will be subject to the policies and terms and conditions in force at the time that you order products from us, unless any change to those policies or these Terms and Conditions is required to be made by law or governmental authority (in which case it will apply to orders previously placed by you), or if we notify you of the change to those policies or these Terms and Conditions before we send you the despatch confirmation (in which case we have the right to assume that you have accepted the change to the Terms and Conditions, unless you notify us to the contrary within 7 working days of receipt by you of the products).

General

The Contract between you and us is binding on you and us and on our respective successors and assignees. You may not transfer, assign, charge or otherwise dispose of a Contract, or any of your rights or obligations arising under it, without our prior written consent. We may transfer, assign, charge, sub-contract or otherwise dispose of a Contract, or any of our rights or obligations arising under it, at any time during the term of the Contract.

We will not be liable or responsible for any failure to perform, or delay in performance of, any of our obligations under a Contract that is caused by events outside our reasonable control ("Force Majeure Event"). Our performance under any Contract is deemed to be suspended for the period that the Force Majeure Event continues, and we will have an extension of time for performance for the duration of that period. We will use our reasonable endeavours to bring the Force Majeure Event to a close or to find a solution by which our obligations under the Contract may be performed despite the Force Majeure Event.

No failure or delay by us to exercise any right or remedy provided under a Contract or by law shall constitute a waiver of that or any other right or remedy, nor shall it preclude or restrict the further exercise of that or any other right or remedy. No single or partial exercise of such right or remedy shall preclude or restrict the further exercise of that or any other right or remedy.

These Terms and Conditions and any document expressly referred to in them represent the entire agreement between you and us in relation to the subject matter of any Contract and supersede any prior agreement, understanding or arrangement between you and us, whether oral or in writing. You and we both acknowledge that, in entering into any Contract, you and we have not relied on, and shall have no right or remedy in respect of, any statement, representation, assurance or warranty (whether made negligently or innocently) other than as expressly set out in these Terms and Conditions (and any document expressly referred to herein). Nothing in this clause shall limit or exclude any liability for fraud.

These Terms and Conditions shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales and any disputes will be decided only by the English courts. If any of these Terms and Conditions are held by any court of competent authority to be unlawful, invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, this will not affect the validity of the remaining Terms and Conditions which will continue to be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. Only you and we shall be permitted to enforce these Terms and Conditions.
