all reasonable care to ensure that all details, descriptions and prices of

force at the date and time of your order. We may change the price of any
Product before you place an order. We try to ensure that our prices displayed
on the Website are accurate but the price on your order will need to be
validated by us as part of the acceptance procedure. We will inform you if a
Product’s correct price is higher than that stated in your order and you may
cancel the order and decide whether or not to order the Product at the correct
price. The prices are inclusive of applicable taxes but exclusive of delivery
costs. For details of delivery costs, please click

Please note:
There

indicated as such on the Website – delivery times for these items will vary, so
please contact Customer Services for more details.

goods
(a) If the Gift
you purchase is unavailable for any reason, we will contact you and offer you
the opportunity to choose another Product. You will be charged the cost of the

dates stated on the Website for delivery are estimates only. We will make all
reasonable efforts to deliver goods within the time specified, but we do not
accept liability for any failure to deliver within that time.
5.5 Payment
(a) We will take
reasonable care, in so far as it is in our power to do so, to keep the details
of your purchase and payment secure, but, in the absence of negligence on our
part, we will not be liable for any loss you may suffer if a third party
procures unauthorised access to any data you provide when accessing or ordering
from the Website.
(b) By making an
offer to buy a Product, you specifically authorise us to transmit information
(including any updated information) or to obtain information about you from
third parties from time to time, including, but not limited to, your debit or
credit card number or credit reports, to authenticate your identity, to validate
your credit card, to obtain an initial credit card authorisation and to
authorise individual purchase transactions.
(c) We accept
payment by most major credit and debit cards. Payment is taken once we have
established that we can fulfil your order, and checked details and stock
availability. Some Products are made to order and/or personalized. Payment for
such Products is taken once we have placed the order for such Products with our
supplier, having established that our supplier is willing to accept the order.
(d) You confirm
that the card being used is issued to and held by you.
(e) All
cardholders are subject to validation checks and authorisation by the card
issuer. If the card issuer refuses to or does not, for any reason, authorise
payment to us, we will not be liable for any delay or non-delivery of the
Gift(s) to the List Holder(s).
5.6 Refusal of
transaction
We may refuse to
process a transaction for any reason or refuse service to anyone at any time at
our sole discretion. We will not be liable to you or any third party by reason
of so refusing or by reason of unwinding or suspending any transaction after
processing has begun.
5.7 Returns

(i) any
Product delivered is not what was ordered, or does not correspond with its
description on the Website;
(ii) the Product
delivered is not of a satisfactory quality; or
(iii) the
Product is not fit for any other purpose for which you have bought it and you
notified us of this purpose before purchase, and we have not informed you that
the Product is not fit for that purpose;
then we will deliver
to the List Holder a replacement Product if that will resolve the problem, or
refund to you the price paid and the reasonable costs of returning the Product.
(b) A full refund
is available, subject to these Terms and Conditions, only for the original
purchaser of any Product.
(c) You or the
List Holder are responsible for any returned goods until they reach us and we
strongly recommend that you or the List Holder obtain proof of posting and
adequate insurance to cover value of the items. Returned goods must be in
pristine condition with packaging intact.

any complaints, you should direct them to us via email at
customerservices@absolutelymatanot.co.uk
or by post at
Stirling House, Breasy Place, 9 Burroughs Gardens,

5.8 List
Holder’s Entitlement to Return Products and Cancellation of Gift List
(a) In certain
circumstances, we may in our discretion allow the List Holder to return Gifts (
up to 10% of the total
value of your gift list )
in
exchange for another item, the value of which is equivalent to the price
paid for the Gifts by the respective Guest.
This does
not
apply to:
(i) personalised
items;
(ii)
items (such as earrings and cosmetics) that
cannot be returned for hygiene reasons (unless they are faulty);
(iii) all items in our "
Premier Collection
" -- these are items that have been made
to order that we cannot ourselves return, and these items will be clearly
indicated as Premier Collection items on the Website
(b) If the List Holder wishes to return any
gift, the List Holder should contact us initially by telephone or by e-mail to
request authorisation, which request must be confirmed in writing (including by
e-mail) and will only be considered granted when authorisation is confirmed in
writing by us.
(c) In other
circumstances (including, without limitation, the situation where we are unable
to obtain the Gift for reasons beyond our control) we may substitute a Gift
with absolutelymatanot gift vouchers of equivalent value to the price paid for
the Gift by the Guest. If this becomes necessary, we will discuss it with the
List Holder before making the substitution.
(d)If the List Holder needs to cancel a Gift
List for any reason, the List Holder must let us know as soon as possible. This
will enable us to close the Gift List to prevent further purchases being made
and to discuss how the List Holder would like the Gift List (and any Gifts that
have already been purchased) to be dealt with.
The cancellation of a
Gift List must be confirmed in writing, in order to take effect.
Where the
List Holder constitutes more than one person, we can only act upon the written
instructions of both or all of such persons.

the information travels over the internet. SSL is the gold standard in internet
encryption technology, which is a fancy way of saying that it's a highly
sophisticated method of scrambling data as it travels from your computer to the
Website's servers.

email verification and passwords for use on the Website. You may not share
these with or transfer them to any third parties. You must notify absolutelymatanot
