Updated 8 November 2021
- INFORMATION ABOUT US
- We are Lindam Limited, a company registered in England and Wales under company number 2256862 and with our registered office at Central House, Otley Road, Harrogate, North Yorkshire, HG3 1UF, England. We operate the website www.munchkin.co.uk. We are the UK subsidiary of Munchkin Inc.
- If you wish to contact us, including because you have any complaints or concerns about the product you have purchased, you can contact us by e-mailing our customer service team at careline@munchkin.com.
- OUR PRODUCTS
- The images of the products on our site are for illustrative purposes only. Although we have made every effort to display the colours accurately, we cannot guarantee that your computer's display of the colours accurately reflect the colour of the products. Your products may vary slightly from those images.
- The packaging of the products may vary from that shown on images on our site.
- USE OF OUR SITE
- Your use of our site is governed by our ‘Terms of Use’ (which can be found below).
- We also recommend that you read our ‘Privacy Policy’ which will explain how we may use your personal data when you visit our site and/or make a purchase from us.
- HOW THE CONTRACT IS FORMED BETWEEN YOU AND US
- Our site will guide you through the steps you need to take to place an order with us. Our order process allows you to check and amend any errors before submitting your order to us. Please take the time to read and check your order at each page of the order process.
- After you place an order, you will receive an e-mail from us confirming your order. At this point a contract between us will be formed. If you do not receive an email confirmation from us, please contact us at careline@munchkin.com.
- All products are subject to availability. In the unlikely event that you order products which are not available from stock, we will take reasonable steps to contact you to discuss how you wish to proceed. You will have the option to wait until the products are available from stock or cancel your order. If the products are unlikely to be restocked (or we are unable to contact you), we will cancel your order for those products and refund the price you have paid for those products.
- OUR RIGHT TO VARY THESE TERMS
- We amend these Terms from time to time. Please look at the top of this page to see when these Terms were last updated.
- Every time you order products from us, the Terms in force at the time of your order will apply to the contract between you and us.
- YOUR CONSUMER RIGHT OF RETURN AND REFUND
- You have a legal right to cancel a contract during the period set out below in clause 6.3. This means that during the relevant period if you change your mind or decide for any other reason that you do not want to receive or keep a product, you can notify us of your decision to cancel the contract and receive a refund.
- However, this cancellation right does not apply in the case of feeding bottles, feeding items, teethers and soothers for reasons of hygiene if they become unsealed after delivery.
- You have 30 days from delivery of the products to cancel your contract with us.
- For information on how to cancel your contract please see our Delivery & Returns Policy.
- If you cancel your contract we will:
- refund you the price you paid for the products (or those products that you wish to cancel your order for). However, please note we are permitted by law to reduce your refund to reflect any reduction in the value of the products, if this has been caused by your handling of the product and your handling goes beyond what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the products;
- refund any delivery costs you have paid, although, as permitted by law, the maximum refund will be the costs of delivery by the least expensive delivery method we offer.
- make any refunds due to you as soon as possible and in any event within the deadlines indicated below:
-
- if you have received the product (or it has been dispatched to you) and we have not offered to collect it from you: 30 days after the day on which we receive the product back from you or, if earlier, the day on which you provide us with evidence that you have sent the product back to us.
- if you have not received the product (and it has not been dispatched to you) or you have received it and we have offered to collect it from you: 30 days after you inform us of your decision to cancel the contract.
-
- If you have returned the products to us under this clause 6 because they are faulty or mis-described, we will refund the price of the products in full, together with any applicable delivery charges, and any reasonable costs you incur in returning the item to us.
- We will refund you on the credit card or debit card used by you to pay.
- If a product has been delivered to you before you decide to cancel your contract or you receive the product after you seek to cancel the contract:
- then you must return it to us without undue delay and in any event not later than 30 days after the day on which you let us know that you wish to cancel the contract;
- unless the product is faulty or not as described, you will be responsible for the cost of returning the products to us. If the product is one which cannot be returned by post, we estimate that if you use the carrier which delivered the product to you, these costs should be similar to the sums we charged you for delivery and you should check the delivery costs with your carrier.
- We are under a legal duty to supply products that are in conformity with this contract. As a consumer, you have legal rights in relation to products that are faulty or not as described. These legal rights are not affected by your right of return and refund in this clause 6 or anything else in these Terms. Advice about your legal rights is available from your local Citizens' Advice Bureau or Trading Standards office.
- DELIVERY
- Please visit the Delivery & Returns Policy page of this website to view our terms and conditions relating to delivery.
- The product remains our property until you have paid for it in full or we have provided the product to you (whichever occurs later), whereupon you will own the product. On delivery of the products to you or collection of the products by you (as the case may be), the products shall be at your risk and responsibility and you will be responsible for their safekeeping and we will not be responsible for any damage or fault arising from incorrect storage.
- Unfortunately, we do not deliver to addresses outside of the United Kingdom and higher delivery charges may apply to Scottish Highlands, Scottish Islands, Isle of Wight, Isles of Scilly, the Isle of Man, Jersey, Guernsey and the other Channel Islands.
- PRICE OF PRODUCTS AND DELIVERY CHARGES
- The prices of the products will be as quoted on our site at the time you submit your order. We take all reasonable care to ensure that the prices of products are correct at the time when the relevant information was entered onto the system. Prices for our products may change from time to time, but changes will not affect any order you have already placed.
- The price of a product includes VAT (where applicable) at the applicable current rate chargeable in the UK for the time being. However, if the rate of VAT changes between the date of your order and the date of delivery, we may adjust the VAT you pay, unless you have already paid for the products in full before the change in VAT takes effect.
- The price of a product does not include delivery charges. To check relevant delivery charges, please review our Delivery & Returns Policy.
- Notwithstanding the above we may update prices at any time. Despite our best efforts, a small number of the large number of products we sell may occasionally be mispriced. If this happens then we will not be obliged to supply the products at the incorrect price or at all. We will (at our discretion) either cancel your order and refund the price you have paid or endeavour to contact you and ask you whether you wish to continue with your order at the correct price. If we are unable to contact you or you do not wish to continue with your order at the correct price, we will cancel your order and refund the price you have paid.
- From time to time we may apply promotional prices to products. These promotional prices will only apply in the context in which the promotion is given and are subject to the terms of that promotion. To take advantage of promotional prices, you must quote the relevant promotion code when you order (where applicable). We may update promotions at any time.
- HOW TO PAY
- You can pay for your products using any of the payment methods available to you in the check out process.
- Payment for the products and all applicable delivery charges is in advance. By clicking the ‘Place Order’ button you are committing to your order and payment will be taken immediately from your payment method. Once your details have been approved, your order will be processed and you will receive email confirmation for your order.
- OUR LIABILITY
- If we fail to comply with these Terms, we are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breach of these Terms or our negligence, but we are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable. Loss or damage is foreseeable if it is an obvious consequence of our breach or if it was contemplated by you and us at the time we entered into this contract.
- We only supply the products for domestic and private use. You agree not to use the product for any commercial, business or resale purposes, and we have no liability to you for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity.
- Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits our liability for:
- death or personal injury caused by our negligence;
- fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation;
- any breach of the terms implied by section 12 of the Sale of Goods Act 1979 (title and quiet possession); and
- any other liability which cannot be excluded or limited under English law.
- EVENTS OUTSIDE OUR CONTROL
- 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 an Event Outside Our Control. An Event Outside Our Control is defined below in clause 12.2.
- An Event Outside Our Control means any act or event beyond our reasonable control, including without limitation strikes, lock-outs or other industrial action by third parties, civil commotion, riot, invasion, terrorist attack or threat of terrorist attack, war (whether declared or not) or threat or preparation for war, fire, explosion, storm, flood, earthquake, subsidence, pandemic, epidemic or other natural disaster, or failure of public or private telecommunications networks or impossibility of the use of railways, shipping, aircraft, motor transport or other means of public or private transport.
- If an Event Outside Our Control takes place that affects the performance of our obligations under a contract:
- we will contact you as soon as reasonably possible to notify you; and
- our obligations under a contract will be suspended and the time for performance of our obligations will be extended for the duration of the Event Outside Our Control. Where the Event Outside Our Control affects our delivery of products to you, we will arrange a new delivery date with you after the Event Outside Our Control is over.
- DATA PROTECTION
- We are a data controller for the purpose of the Data Protection Act 2018 and other relevant data protection legislation. We take privacy very seriously and we hold and process your personal data in accordance with our 'Privacy Policy'.
- OTHER IMPORTANT TERMS
- We may transfer our rights and obligations under a contract to another organisation, but this will not affect your rights or our obligations under these Terms and we will use reasonable endeavours to notify you of any such change. You may only transfer your rights or your obligations under these Terms to another person if we agree in writing.
- This contract is between you and us. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms.
- Each of the clauses of these Terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful or unenforceable, the remaining clauses will remain in full force and effect.
- If we fail to insist that you perform any of your obligations under these Terms, or if we do not enforce our rights against you, or if we delay in doing so, that will not mean that we have waived our rights against you and will not mean that you do not have to comply with those obligations. If we do waive a default by you, we will only do so in writing, and that will not mean that we will automatically waive any later default by you.
- If you are a consumer, please note that these Terms are governed by English law. This means a contract for the purchase of products through our site and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with it will be governed by English law. You and we both agree that the courts of England and Wales will have exclusive jurisdiction. However, if you are a resident of Northern Ireland you may also bring proceedings in Northern Ireland, and if you are a resident of Scotland, you may also bring proceedings in Scotland.
- Alternative dispute resolution is a process where an independent body considers the facts of a dispute and seeks to resolve it, without you having to go to court. If you are a consumer and are not happy with how we have handled any complaint, you may want to contact an alternative dispute resolution provider. However, please contact us in the first instance, and we will seek to resolve any issues.
