TRADEMARKS AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

Trademarks, service marks and logos displayed on this site belong to SVM or to the retailers represented on the site.

PROTECTING YOUR SECURITY

To ensure that your credit, debit or charge card is not being used without your consent, we will validate name, address and other personal information supplied by you during the order process against appropriate third party databases. By accepting these terms and conditions you consent to such checks being made. In performing these checks personal information provided by you may be disclosed to a registered Credit Reference Agency which may keep a record of that information. You can rest assured that this is done only to confirm your identity, that a credit check is not performed and that your credit rating will be unaffected. All information provided by you will be treated securely and strictly in accordance with the current applicable Data Protection Regulations as outlined in the Privacy Statement.

In addition to in house verification procedures SVM employs Verified by Visa / Mastercard Securecode which allows customers to protect their credit cards used online by assigning a secret password. If you have joined the scheme you will be required to provide your password during completion of your order. SVM has no knowledge of, or access to, your password. To maintain secrecy your password is submitted directly to your card issuer, over a secure link, and is not seen or stored by our system. As a member of one of the above schemes, should you not pass the verification process, your payment and order will not be accepted by SVM.

FAIR USE

Gift vouchers, gift cards and eGifts supplied through this website are to be used for personal use only. It is not permitted to purchase gift vouchers, gift cards or eGifts at a discount through this site for commercial use or gain without the clear consent of SVM. Access to this website is for the account holder only and should not be shared with anyone else. SVM reserves the right to investigate, suspend or terminate accounts/orders, without notice, wherever these conditions of Fair Use are violated.

GIFT VOUCHERS, GIFT CARDS AND EGIFTS

Gift vouchers, gift cards and eGifts supplied by SVM cannot be exchanged for cash. Each store group operates its own policy on issuing change, where applicable. In the case of voucher or pre-denominated gift card products, change may be given in the form of a lower denomination gift voucher or gift card. In some circumstances change, typically if under £1, will be given in cash. In some instances, no change will be given. Gift vouchers, gift cards or eGifts which are defaced, altered or cancelled will not be accepted in shops.

SVM reserves the right to change the range of gift cards, gift vouchers and eGifts we offer at any time, without prior notification. SVM takes no responsibility for any changes to the terms and conditions relating to each individual gift card, gift voucher and eGift.

Users should refer to the back of the specific gift card, gift voucher or eGift for any retailer specific terms and conditions and expiry dates.

Risk and title will pass to the customer upon delivery. SVM can take no liability for any lost, stolen or damaged gift cards or gift vouchers once responsibility of ownership has passed to the customer at time of delivery. If a customer does lose or damage their gift card, SVM will endeavour to transfer the balance of the gift card on to a new gift card (should the retailer allow this) and send to the customer at a cost of £2.50 (inclusive of standard postage). Replacement cards may be sent via Signed For 1st Class or Special Delivery at the customer’s cost should they choose to receive their card in this way. SVM is not directly linked to any of the retailers whose products are listed in our range. In the event that any one such product or company is placed in either administration or receivership, there is no obligation on SVM to replace or exchange any previously issued, unspent gift cards, eGifts or gift vouchers.

REFUND / RETURNS POLICY

Requests for order cancellation must be made in writing within 14 days of receipt of order. Orders sent by 1st Class mail or Special Delivery will be deemed to have arrived the next working day after dispatch. Reloads will be deemed to have been delivered 48 hours from when the order was placed. Refunds will be made back to the credit/debit card used to purchase. Gift vouchers, and gift cards in some instances, must be returned by registered post. SVM accepts no responsibility for their return or for postage payable. Refunds can only be made for funds still on the gift card that have not been spent.

The above refund policy does not apply to eGift orders. By submitting your eGift order to be processed, you agree to waive your rights to a 14-day cooling-off period as per Consumer Contracts Regulations. You accept that you do not have the right to withdraw from the transaction once the delivery of product has commenced, at which point your transaction is final.
