Availability

All orders for products are subject to availability and we reserve the right to refuse to supply to any individual or company.

Order submission

Your submission of an order represents an offer to purchase the products (or an application for the donation pack) indicated by you and is not binding on us until we have accepted your order. This means that if a product is shown on our sites but is not available or is incorrectly priced or otherwise incorrectly described or if we are unable to arrange delivery to your address or wish to decline your offer/application for any other reason, we will not be obliged to sell you that product/provide you with that donation pack. In this instance we will inform you and not charge for the product/donation pack.

Order acknowledgement

Shortly after we receive your order, we will acknowledge it by email, detailing the products you have ordered/donation pack you have applied for. This email is issued automatically and does not mean that your order is accepted.

Information

We may contact you to obtain further information to enable your order to be evaluated or processed.

Acceptance

Acceptance of your order for a product/application for a donation pack and completion of the contract between you and us will take place when we dispatch the product/donation pack to you.

Any products on the same order which we have not dispatched to you do not form part of that contract.

Alcohol

Alcohol may not be purchased by anyone under 18.

Product price

The price you pay is the price displayed on our site at the time we receive your order apart from where an error has occurred in displaying the price.

While we try and ensure that all prices on our sites are accurate, errors may occur. If we discover an error in the price of products you have ordered we will inform you as soon as possible and give you the option of reconfirming your order at the correct price or cancelling it.

If we are unable to contact you we will treat the order as cancelled. If you cancel and you have already paid for the products, you will receive a full refund.

VAT

Prices displayed include VAT where applicable. Price and availability information is subject to change without notice.

Products may differ slightly form the images shown. All sizes and dimensions of products as indicated on our sites are approximate but we make every effort to make sure they are as accurate as possible.

We have made every effort to display as accurately as possible the colours of the images that feature on our sites. However, we cannot guarantee your monitor's display will accurately reflect the colour of the product.

Accuracy of details

You are responsible for ensuring the accuracy of the details provided on the order form.

Please take particular care when entering information to be used in or on any products, gifts cards or certificates to be personalised to your requirements.

Order details

We do not file details of your order for you to subsequently access direct on our websites.

Payment for orders and donations

We accept Visa Credit, Visa Debit, Mastercard Credit, Mastercard Debit and Maestro. For orders or one-off donations made online we cannot accept cheques.

For orders from our shop, payment will be taken at the point of goods despatch. For virtual gifts, donation packs and e-cards, payment will be taken at the order processing stage.

By placing an order or making a donation you consent to payment being charged to your debit or credit card as provided on the order form. We will use Secure Trading to validate your payment.

It is possible to set up regular monthly donations by direct debit online. Payment will be set up to be taken from your account on either the 7 or 22 of the month, dependent upon the time of the month your monthly donation was set up. Payment will be collected on the next or nearest collected date. If you wish to change the date set out in your direct debit agreement to the alternative date we offer, we can do this once the first payment has been taken.

If an error has been made in the payment of your direct debit by us or your bank/building society, under your bank's direct debit guarantee scheme you are entitled to a full and immediate refund of the amount paid from your bank or building society. If you receive a refund you are not entitled to, you must pay it back when requested to do so by the Trust.

You can cancel a direct debit at any time by simply contacting your bank or building society. We would be grateful if you could also let us know that you wish to cancel your regular donation.

In case of query, please call 0330 333 3300 (Monday to Friday, 8.30 am to 5.00 pm), quoting your order reference number.

Delivery

We will let you know what you will be charged for postage, delivery and packaging before you submit your order.

Additional delivery charges may apply for overseas deliveries, or bulky or heavy items and you will be notified of any additional delivery charges during the order process and required to provide your confirmation that such charges will be included in your order and charged to your card prior to the goods being dispatched. If confirmation is not received, then the order cannot be processed and will be cancelled.

Express delivery is not available.

Donation packs will be sent by 2nd class post using Royal Mail or National Carriers and there are no delivery charges.

We aim to:

• dispatch donation packs, including printed donation pack certificates within 10 working days of receipt of your application/donation. If your application/donation is time-sensitive, you may want to check the dispatch date with our support response team by telephoning them on 0330 333 3300 at the time of applying/donating.
• deliver all other products ordered within 7-10 working days of your order.

Please allow up to 30 days in case we are exceptionally busy. The delivery timescales stated are subject to availability of the products ordered and circumstances beyond our control. We make every effort to deliver products within the above timescales, however delays are occasionally inevitable.

If you do not receive your products/packs within the time quoted above, please contact our support response team on 0330 333 3300 or email them at customerservices@woodlandtrustshop.com. If we fail to deliver your order within 30 days we will notify you of the reason for the delay and you may cancel your order and we will provide you with a refund for the products not delivered. We will have no other liability to you in the event of delay in delivery.

All deliveries will be made to you (or the recipient specified by you) at the address specified by you in your order. With the exception of gift memberships, we regret that we cannot send membership packs to an alternative delivery address, they will be sent to the main billing address only.

We may, at our discretion and expense, deliver parts of your order separately. You will be responsible for the products as soon as they are delivered.

If we cannot deliver the products to you at the address you have specified for any reason (other than when we are at fault), we will notify you and store the products for up to 30 days. At our discretion we may either attempt to redeliver the products to you or issue you with a refund for the price paid less postage and handling charges. Note – no refund will be made for products which have been customised or personalised in accordance with your requirements.

Returns – if you change your mind

For most products you can cancel your order, either before or after we deliver it, by notifying us within 15 days of delivery (or where we deliver your order in instalments, within 15 days of the last item delivered) without giving any reason. You can do so by contacting our supporter care team on 0330 333 3300 (free from a land-line) or by emailing us at customerservices@woodlandtrustshop.com. To meet the cancellation deadline it is sufficient for you to tell us that you wish to cancel before the cancellation period has expired. You then have 15 days to get the products back to us for a refund.

This right to cancel does not apply to:

• products which have been made to your specification or personalised, for example where a name or a photograph supplied by you has been added to a product.
• DVDs, CDs or computer software once you have broken the seal.
• products which are sealed for health or hygiene reasons once you unseal them (e.g. underwear or swimwear once you have removed the hygiene strip).
• perishable products (e.g. food, flowers, plants or trees).
• periodicals or magazines.
• virtual gifts and donation packs.
• digital content (such as downloads, games, music, videos, e-cards, e-books or audio books). By placing an order for digital content, you agree that the digital content will be provided during the cancellation period referred to above and acknowledge that this means that you will lose your right to cancel your order for that digital content.
• products once they have been combined with other products so that they are then inseparable.

Until you are sure that you want to keep the products you have ordered, you must carefully handle the products only to the extent that you would handle them if you were looking at the products or carefully trying them on in a shop, in order to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the products. You must not otherwise use or wear them. Products must be returned to us in their original packaging, with all tags intact and in good, re-saleable condition and unused.

Hampers, gift baskets, tree packs and other sets or packs which are made up of a number of products may only be cancelled and returned as a whole.

If the right to cancel applies and you want to return your order once you have received it, for either a refund or exchange, fill out the accompanying delivery slip, package the relevant item securely and send them both to us within 15 days of delivery (or 15 days of you notifying us of your wish to cancel your order as above) using the label provided on the delivery note.

For your protection, we recommend that you use a recorded delivery service. Until the products are returned to us, you must not use them and must take reasonable care of them and ensure that they are returned to us in a re-saleable condition.

Information about how to return products for an exchange or refund is included with each shipped order along with your delivery slip. Please note that you will be responsible for the cost of returning products to us unless we deliver the item to you in error or it is faulty.

Refunds

If you cancel (and where already delivered, return) your order in accordance with the above provisions, we will refund to you:

• the purchase price for the item cancelled/returned.
• the standard delivery charge for the item cancelled/returned. Note – where you ordered a number of items and only cancel/return some of them, delivery charges will not be refunded except for such part of delivery charges that relate specifically to the items returned. Any extra charges for express delivery will also not be refunded.

When making a refund (other than a refund for a faulty product), we will deduct from the sum to be refunded any reduction in the value of the products returned caused by you using, wearing or handling the products beyond the manner in which you would handle the products if you were looking at them, or trying them on, in a shop.

Any refund issued under these provisions will be made, using the same means of payment as you used for your order, within 14 days of:

• us receiving the products back. Or
• (if earlier) you providing evidence that you have returned the products. Or
• if you cancel before we despatch the products, of you telling us that you want to cancel your order.

You will not incur any fees as a result of the refund but we will not make the refund until we have received the products back or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the products, whichever is earliest.

If for any reason you suspect that your credit card has been used to make an inaccurate or incorrect transaction through this website, please notify your issuing Bank immediately for investigation.

Trees and other perishable products

Please note that we cannot accept returns of trees or other perishable goods unless they are defective.

Please check your tree as soon as you receive it. If you believe that your tree is defective, it may be that your sapling is in a dormant state, which you can check by scraping back a small piece of bark to see if pale new wood lies beneath.

If having checked your tree as described above, you still think that the tree you have received is defective and you would like to return it for a refund or replacement please contact our supporter care team on 0330 333 3300 (free from a land-line) or by emailing us at customerservices@woodlandtrustshop.com within ten (10) days, but no later than thirty (30) days, of receiving your tree.

Returns – faulty products

By law you are entitled to receive products which are as described, fit for purpose and of satisfactory quality and our aim is to make sure that you do.

If you do receive a product which is faulty and would like to request a refund or replacement please contact our customer care team as soon as possible.

You can find out more about your rights as a consumer on the Citizens Advice Bureau website.

For replacement or refund of the product you will need to return it to us. Our customer care team will help you do this by arranging collection in the case of items unsuitable for return by post.

Donation packs

If you order one of our donation packs you are making a donation to fund our work for which we are enormously grateful. You will receive a certificate to commemorate the dedication/donation but any trees/woods dedicated will not be marked with the dedication although you are welcome to visit the wood dedicated (or where the tree is dedicated).

Your donation pack certificate will be printed with the wording you enter in the application form. Please check this carefully before you finalise your application. If you notice an error in the certificate wording please reply to the automated thank you email you receive and tell us what you would like correcting and we will do our best to make the changes before the certificate is produced.

All items featured in the dedications section of our websites are genuinely needed and used by the programmes that the Woodland Trust supports. However, once certain types of dedications reach their maximum capacity, we reserve the right to use your donation to help the Woodland Trust continue with its full range of work. Where possible we will aim to use your donation for a similar purpose to that originally requested by you.

You can read more about the range of the Woodland Trust’s work in the Who we are section of the website.

Email certificates are sent as soon as you have submitted your online donation pack application, though due to circumstances beyond our control they may occasionally take several minutes or possibly even hours before they arrive in the recipient's inbox. If you, or your intended recipient, do not receive the certificate, please contact our supporter care team on 0330 333 3300 providing full details of the donation pack applied for. A copy of your application confirmation is always helpful.

See Delivery section for more information on printed certificates.

Virtual gifts

If you order one of our virtual gifts you are making a donation to fund our work for which we are enormously grateful and obviously you don’t actually buy the item in question.

All items featured in the virtual gifts pages of our websites are genuinely needed and used by the programmes which the Woodland Trust supports. However, realistically, there are only so many types of virtual gifts required and so if you have ordered a virtual gift your donation will not necessarily be used to purchase the item shown but will be used to help the Woodland Trust to continue with its full range of work. You can read more about the range of the Woodland Trust’s work in the Who we are section of our website.

If the choice of card you want is out of stock we reserve the right to send you another card.

E-cards

The Woodland Trust is not responsible for the messages inserted in e-cards sent from our websites. If you receive an e-card through our website services containing inappropriate content please email us at customerservices@woodlandtrustshop.com and we will deal with your complaint as the Woodland Trust thinks appropriate.

If you send an e-card from our websites you agree:

• to accept full responsibility for the messages you insert in the e-card ('your messages').
• to keep your messages decent.

And to not include in your messages:

• any content of the type referred to in term 1.
• anything that could be considered offensive, threatening, racist, abusive, defamatory, obscene, indecent, unlawful, hateful or otherwise intended to annoy or harass the recipient.
• anything that could be considered a criminal or civil offence; nor
• links to other websites.
• if we receive a complaint about your message we can disclose your registration details to the person making the complaint.

If we receive a complaint about your messages we reserve the right to (among other things):

• not send future e-cards from your account.
• deny you access to our websites and services; and
• where appropriate, refer the matter (and disclose your details) to the police or appropriate authorities.

Please ensure that you provide us with the recipient’s correct email address for delivery of the e-card. You will not be entitled to a refund if the e-card is sent to the incorrect address due to your own error.

Prize raffles

The Promoter is The Woodland Trust, a company limited by guarantee (company number: 1982873) and a registered charity (charity number England and Wales: No. 294344; Scotland: SC038885) whose registered office is at Kempton Way, Grantham, Lincolnshire, NG31 6LL.

All participants are deemed to have accepted and agreed to be bound by these terms and conditions upon entry. The Promoter reserves the right to refuse entry, or refuse to award the prize to anyone in breach of these terms and conditions.

Each raffle will have a closing date for returning entries and a draw date. These dates and the prizes to be awarded will be stipulated in the printed raffle announcement and website.

Any specific raffle terms and conditions, applicable only to that particular raffle draw, will be available online prior to commencement of the raffle and may be viewed by going to the website for that draw.

Where an entry to the raffle is made online, the entrant must ensure they have received notification of their raffle purchase. Where a cleared payment has been made but no notification has been received, entrants should contact the Woodland Trust as soon as reasonably practicable and prior to the date of the draw. Failure to do so is likely to result in the entrant not being entered into the draw and the Woodland Trust will accept no responsibility accordingly.

To enter any Woodland Trust raffle, tickets must be purchased at the specified price per ticket.

Payments for raffle tickets may be made by credit card for postal purchases but not for entries made online.

Prizes are subject to availability. In the event of any prize being unavailable, the Woodland Trust reserves the right to offer an alternative prize of equal or greater value at its sole discretion.

Save as otherwise stated above, the competition prizes cannot be modified and are non-transferable.

The competition decision on winner selection is final, and no correspondence will be entered into.

First, second and third prize winners will be notified by telephone (where a telephone number is available) or using such other contact details provided by the entrant. Where a winner cannot be contacted using reasonable means within one calendar month of the date of the draw, that prize will be redrawn at the discretion of the Woodland Trust and reallocated to an alternative winner.

Payment of any cash prizes will be made by cheque by post within 28 days of the draw.

A list of winners will be published on the Woodland Trust website the week following a draw.

Raffle tickets must not be sold to or by persons under the age of 18 years. Any person under 18 years old who has entered a raffle will automatically forfeit any prize.

Unless otherwise specified, raffles are only open to residents of England, Wales and Scotland and no entries from overseas, Northern Ireland, the Channel Islands or the Isle of Man can be accepted due to differing gambling licensing in these regions.

The Woodland Trust shall not be liable to reimburse any additional costs/fees/charges/interest/transaction fees (including credit card/debit card charges, interest or transaction fees) the competition entrants or winners may incur in purchasing a raffle ticket or participating in the competition.

Woodland Trust raffles are not open to:

• Woodland Trust staff, trustees or their immediate family
• organisations – purchasers of raffle tickets must be specified individual persons.

Only one player can be the owner of a raffle ticket for the purpose of these rules. The owner of the ticket will be the name and address of the person applying for the ticket (i.e. the name on the entry form or the name given online) regardless of the method of payment used to purchase the ticket, unless specific written instructions are received by the Woodland Trust at the time of purchase to register the ticket in another name.

Woodland Trust raffles are delivered by Woods Valldata, a third party appointed as an 'external lottery manager'. Names of entrants will not be passed to any third-party agency (other than Woods Valldata and any firm used to fulfil prizes) and will be processed in strict compliance with data protection legislation.

The Woodland Trust reserves the right to use the names and locations of entrants in its publicity and consent to do so is automatically implied by entering the raffle draw or competition.

The Promoter accepts no responsibility for entries not successfully submitted or received due to postal delays or loss. Any money received after the raffle closing date will not be reimbursed and will be allocated to help fund the work of the Woodland Trust. If you would prefer not to have your entry fee allocated in this way, please contact the Woodland Trust and you can be reimbursed or have your entry fee rolled over to the next raffle draw.

All Woodland Trust raffles are licensed and regulated by the Gambling Commission.

Woodland Trust raffles are intended to be a fun way to support us and the vital work we do. If you feel you have a problem with gambling, you should visit the BeGambleAware website where you can get help and advice, or contact the National Helpline on 0808 8020 133 (lines open 24 hours a day, seven days a week).

The Woodland Trust reserves the right to vary these terms and conditions and to hold void, cancel, suspend or amend a raffle draw where it becomes necessary to do so. This will only be done in wholly exceptional circumstances and due to unforeseen events beyond our control. Any such variations will be posted on the Woodland Trust's website.

The raffle draw will be governed by English law and entrants to the competition submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts.

Insofar as is permitted by law, the Promoter, its agents or distributors will not in any circumstances be responsible or liable to compensate the winner or accept any liability for any loss, damage, personal injury or death occurring as a result of taking up the prize, except where it is caused by the negligence of the Promoter, its agents or distributors or that of their employees. Your statutory rights are not affected.
