  2. Products and/or services are accompanied by a complete and accurate description of the item on offer. The description is detailed enough to make it possible for the contracting party to evaluate the product adequately. If the merchant makes use of images, these will be a reliable representation of the product and/or service on offer. Apparent errors or mistakes in the items on offer do not legally bind the merchant.
  3. Each item description contains enough information that it is clear to the contracting party what rights and obligations are associated with acceptance of the product and/or service on offer. These include:
    • The price, including taxes;
    • Any associated shipping costs;
    • The manner in which the agreement is to be concluded and the actions necessary to do so;
    • The applicability of any right of withdrawal;
    • The method of payment, shipping or execution of the agreement;
    • The period in which acceptance of the offer, including the price, remains valid;
    • The rates for remote communication should costs for use of remote communication technology be calculated based on methods other than a basic rate;
    • How the contracting party may access an agreement should the agreement be archived upon its conclusion;
    • How the contracting party can access information regarding the conclusion of an agreement for actions which are not desirable to the contracting party and the manner in which the contracting party may cancel this agreement before it is concluded;

If the contracting party opts for an electronic payment method, the merchant will also take appropriate security measures.
  4. The merchant can within legal limits gather information concerning the ability of the contracting party to meet payment obligations, as well as other facts and factors which bear on a concluding a remote agreement responsibly.

    • Information concerning existing service and guarantees once a purchase has been made;
    • The information addressed in Article 4.3 of these terms and conditions, unless the merchant has provided this information to the contracting party prior to the conclusion of the agreement;
    • The requirements for dissolution of the agreement should the duration of the agreement be longer than one year or for an unspecified period.
  6. If the merchant has agreed to recurring delivery of products and/or services, the condition outlined in the previous sub-article only applies to the first instance.

Article 6 - Right of Withdrawal upon Delivery of Products

  1. Upon purchase of any product, the contracting party has the opportunity to dissolve the agreement without explanation during a period of 14 days. This period begins the day the product is received by the contracting party or on their behalf.
  2. During this period, the contracting party will handle the product and packaging with care. The contracting party will unwrap or use a product only to the extent that it is possible to evaluate whether or not they wish to keep the product.

In which case the contracting party has the right to dissolve the agreement at no cost as well as demand any damages incurred.

Privacy statement

What information do we collect about you?
When you place an order on the Personalise My Gift UK website, we ask you for your personal information. We require this information to deliver your gifts to the right address and to be able to contact you if we have a question about your order. We only collect your information for our own use and will never sell the information to third parties for commercial purposes.
  • Name. We like to address you by name. This makes our interaction with you more personal.
  • Address information. In order to be able to deliver your gifts as quickly as possible, we require your address information. Naturally, your address information will be shared with the delivery service so they know where to deliver the parcel.
  • E-mail address. We use your email address to keep you updated on your order status. After your order has been delivered we will then ask you if you are happy with the gift and send you personal offers, on your birthday or one year customer anniversary for example.
  • Payment details. When you are ready to pay for your order, we will redirect you to a secure payment environment. In order to process payments, we use the services of PayPal and Stripe. Both PayPal and Stripe ensure the connections to all our payment providers. Your banking details will stay where they belong; with your bank or credit card company. We do not store your banking details. We only receive a message about whether the payment was successful.
Photos
Almost all of our gifts can be personalised by adding one or more photos. We treat your pictures as personal information. This means that we use them only to create your gift and never share them with other parties. We store your photos for a maximum of 24 months after you place your order. If you prefer us not to store your photos, please contact our customer service.
Customer behaviour
Personalisation is key for our company. The gifts we create are unique and made especially for you. The same goes for our website and the emails we send you. We feel it is important to provide you with the correct ‘gift advice’ in every possible way. We also want to continue to improve ourselves and our gifts. To be able to do this we collect so-called customer behaviour. This may be the pages or gifts you view, the links you click and the gifts you add to your shopping cart (and perhaps don’t order after all).
Where do we store your data?
Your personal information is stored in a secure database at our hosting service in the United Kingdom. Our hosting service has all the right certifications that guarantee safe storage of your information. So there’s nothing to worry about. In some cases we will share your personal information with partners. This is always purely in support of our own services. We work only with companies that comply with European privacy laws, whether they are based in Europe or not.
What do we do with your information?
  • Create your gift. We handle your design and personal photos carefully while creating your gift. Your gift will only be seen by the people creating it. All remaining prints will be destroyed. Some of our gifts are made by partners, who follow the same rules.
  • Shipping your gift. To deliver your gifts as quickly as possible, we share your address information with our delivery services and related parties. We will often include your phone number, to ensure the shipping agent is able to contact you if you aren’t home or if the delivery is delayed.
  • If you have a question, we'd love to be of service. In order to provide you with the best and quickest possible service by phone, email or chat, we use excellent customer service tools. These tools store your contact information and the contents of all our conversations. That way we know exactly what we discussed with you when you last contacted us.
  • We keep you updated. When you order a gift from us, we will ask you if we can send you a newsletter every now and then. If you no longer want to receive these newsletters you can unsubscribe in Personalise My Gift UK or through the unsubscribe link in the email.
  • Better every day. One of our most important mottos is: 'exceed expectations'. To do that, we use your information, such as your behaviour on our website. We will also ask you what you think of us, right after you place your order on the thank you page or by means of a survey after you've contacted our customer service. Usually we do this ourselves, but sometimes we work with partners to ensure your feedback is being collected objectively.
  • We provide personal ‘gift advice’. We love helping you find the right gift. To be able to understand which gifts are right for you we will use your information, for example your age and the gifts you have viewed before (unless you have specified your wish that we do not do this, of course). With this information we can provide you with personal advice though emails, offers on our website and handy advertisements on, for example, Facebook and Google.
