Terms and Conditions
(1) Introduction
PLEASE READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY BEFORE SUBMITTING ANY INFORMATION, PURCHASING OR USING OUR SITE
If you are using our site, we will assume that you have read our terms carefully and that you accept all practices as described in our privacy policies and terms and conditions.
You will be asked to expressly agree to these terms of sale before you place an order for products from our website. By agreeing with our terms and conditions prior to contractual sale, you also agree with our terms of use, privacy policy, delivery, returns and exchange policies.
(2) Interpretation
In these terms of sale, “we” means ‘Dogs Gift’ (and “us” and “our” will be construed accordingly); and “you” means our customer or potential customer for products (and “your” will be construed accordingly).
(3) Order process
The advertising of products on our website constitutes an “invitation to treat”; and your order for products constitutes a contractual offer. No contract will come into force between you and us unless and until we accept your order in accordance with the procedure detailed below.
In order to enter into a contract to purchase products from us, you will need to take the following steps:
(i) You must add the products you wish to purchase to your shopping cart and then proceed to checkout
(ii) You may checkout as a guest or register an account with us. (Where guest checkout applies, we will automatically generate an account for you should you wish to use our website again. It is your responsibility to change the automatic password we generate for you which is sent via email once you complete your order)
(iii) You must select your preferred method of delivery
(iv) You must add any relevant voucher codes or gift certificates
(MAY ONLY ALLOW ONE PER ORDER/CUSTOMER)
(v) You must then confirm your order and by doing this you consent to the these terms of sale
(vi) You will be transferred to Paypal or a third party payment vendor and/or gateway where your payment will be handled securely
(vii) We will send you an order confirmation, at which point your order becomes a legally binding contract. We will notify you should there be any problems and we therefore reserve the right to cancel any orders should we not be able to meet your order requirements, i.e. the products are no longer available.
We assume that you have added sales@dogsgift.co.uk to your email allow list to receive full correspondence from us.
Once your order is placed, you cannot change, alter or cancel your order in any way.
In the event that particular products in your order are unavailable, we reserve the right to cancel your order for full refund or offer a suitable replacement of equal or greater value.
We will not file a copy of these terms of sale specifically in relation to your order. We may update the version of these terms of sale on the website from time to time, and we do not guarantee that the version you have agreed to will remain accessible. We therefore recommend that you download, print and retain a copy of these terms of sale for your records.
The only language in which we provide these terms of sale is English.
Before you place your order, you will have the opportunity of identifying whether you have made any input errors by reviewing your basket before you proceed to order. You may correct those input errors before placing your order by thoroughly checking your items, prices and quantities including delivery prices and any discount codes or gift vouchers applied are fully correct.
(4) The products
Dogs Gift trades online at https://www.dogsgift.co.uk in the sector of Gifts and Retail. Products are dog and animal related gifts and merchandise.
We also sell electronic Gift Vouchers which can be used to purchase products through our website. Gift Vouchers are available in various increments and are valid for only one year from the date or order. We reserve the right to remove Gift Vouchers from our system at any point where and when necessary.
(5) Price and payment
Prices for products are quoted on our website. The website contains a large number of products and it is always possible that some of the prices on the website may be incorrect. We will verify prices as part of our sale procedures so that a product's correct price will be stated when you pay for the product. We reserve the right to cancel any orders we believe to be wrong, including errors with stock quantities, pricing errors and the misuse of voucher codes, coupon codes and gift vouchers.
We reserve the right to add, change or amend intervening prices at any time which may be due to but not limited to price error, incorrect price, increased costings, change of product offer or promotion, website refurbishment and thereafter.
In addition to the price of the products, you may have to pay a delivery charge, which will be as stated in the checkout process. Delivery Information can be found on our website.
Payment must be made upon the submission of your order. We may withhold the products and/or cancel the contract between us if the price is not received from you in full in cleared funds.
The prices on the website include all value added taxes (where applicable) at the current UK rate of 20%.
Payment for all products must be made by debit card, credit card or Paypal. All our website financial transactions are handled through our payment services provider(s), PayPal, Barclays, Barclays Merchant Services, Sage Pay, RBS World Pay. We accept most major credit and debit cards including Visa, Visa Debit, Visa Electron, Mastercard, and Maestro.
Prices for products are liable to change at any time, but changes will not affect contracts which have come into force prior to this, with the exclusion of contracts that contain pricing errors.
If you dispute any payment made to us you must contact us immediately and provide full details of your claim. If you submit an unjustified credit card, debit card or other charge-back then you will be liable to pay us, within 14 days following the date of the charge-back:
(i) an amount equal to the amount of the charge-back;
(ii) all third party expenses incurred by us in relation to the charge-back (include charges made by our or your bank or payment processor or card issuer);
(iii) an administration fee of GBP £20 (including VAT); and
(iv) all our reasonable costs, losses and expenses incurred in recovering the amounts referred to in this paragraph (including without limitation legal fees and debt collection fees).
Without prejudice to our other rights, if you submit an unjustified credit card, debit card or other charge-back, then we may terminate any contracts between you and us under these terms of sale by giving you written notice of termination via Email or Postal confirmation.
For the avoidance of doubt, if you fail to recognise or fail to remember the source of an entry on your card statement or other financial statement, and make a charge-back as a result, this will constitute an unjustified charge-back.
Dogs Gift will not be held liable for any misuse, losses or other arising from using Dogs Gift. Although we implement security encryption when transacting payment details with ourselves and/or third parties; there may sometimes be security issues that are beyond our control. You accept this risk when shopping with Dogs Gift.

Next Day Delivery only applies to UK Mainland. Where Next Day Delivery is selected, Dogs Gift and other third party vendors (such as delivery providers and drop shipping fulfilment) will attempt to complete this service within the selected timeframe. However this is strictly not a guaranteed service due to factors beyond their reasonable control such as, but not limited to parcel loss, damage, missing, logistics delays, public holidays and problems thereafter.
You accept that there may be slight delays during busy periods such as Christmas and UK Holidays. We will not be held liable for any such occurrences and/or liabilities that this may induce including personal and/or business losses, loss of or damage to profits, income, revenue, use, production, anticipated savings, business, contracts, commercial opportunities or goodwill.
