4.1 Vouchers may vary from the images shown. Any descriptive matter or advertising we produce and any descriptions of the Vouchers on our website are for illustrative purposes only and they give an approximate idea only of the Vouchers referred to in them.

We may require you to return the Vouchers to us.

 

4.4 Terms of the retailer. You should review the terms and conditions of the retailer in respect of which you have purchased the Vouchers. Each retailer operates its own policies in respect of issuing change after using a Voucher. Change may be given in the form of a lower denomination voucher/gift card or equivalent. In some circumstances change, typically if under £1, will be given in cash. In some instances no change will be given. The terms and conditions applicable to each Voucher may be changed by the relevant Retailer from time to time and we take no responsibility for any such changes.

 

4.5 Insolvency of a retailer. We have no direct link to any of the retailers that issue the Vouchers that we sell. If a retailer becomes insolvent, has an administrator or liquidator appointed or suffers a similar event, the Voucher may become invalid. In this scenario, we are under no obligation to replace or exchange any previously issued, unspent Vouchers that we have provided to you.

4.8 Expiry of Vouchers. Some Vouchers are ‘open ended’ and do not have an expiry date. Some Vouchers do have an expiry date and you are responsible for checking any such dates. You should confirm the status of expiry on each Voucher prior to placing your order with us.
