2. Your privacy and personal information
   1. Our Privacy Statement is available at https://www.board-game.co.uk/privacy-statement/.
   2. Your privacy and personal information are important to us. Any personal information that you provide to us will be dealt with in line with our Privacy Statement, which explains what personal information we collect from you, how and why we collect, store, use and share such information, your rights in relation to your personal information and how to contact us and supervisory authorities if you have a query or complaint about the use of your personal information.
   3. Many website services will require automatic registration. All information provided on this website must be accurate and complete. Subsequent access to services requiring registration is subject to an approved username and password (‘Password Details’). All Password Details are accepted at our discretion and can be withdrawn at any time. If registration is completed on your behalf during checkout, your log-in details will be emailed on to you. These are exclusive to you, non-transferable and must be treated with strict confidentiality at all times. If you are concerned in any way about your Password Details or aware of misuse you must inform us immediately using our ‘Contact Us’ form, or using [email protected] /01603 801206. Similarly, if you no longer require an account with us , or would like to have your account deleted, you are more than welcome to do so by contacting us here to remove it on your behalf.
3. Ordering goods from us
   1. Below, we set out how a legally binding contract between you and us is made.
   2. If you are not personally the consumer, you confirm that you attain the authority to bind any business or organisation on whose behalf you use the website by these terms and conditions.
   3. You place an order on the site by adding items individually to your basket before proceeding to the checkout. Please read and check your order carefully before submitting it. However, if you need to correct any errors you can do so before submitting it to us.
      1. When you place your order at the end of the online checkout process (e.g. when you click on the ‘place order’ button), we will acknowledge it by email. This acknowledgement does not, however, mean that your order has been accepted.
      2. We may contact you to say that we do not accept your order. This is typically for the following reasons:
         1. the goods are unavailable;
         2. we cannot authorise your payment;
         3. you are not allowed to buy the goods from us;
         4. we are not allowed to sell the goods to you;
         5. you have ordered too many goods;
         6. there has been a mistake on the pricing or description of the goods; or
         7. we reasonably believe the order to be potentially fraudulent.
      3. Your order will be considered accepted by us once the goods are despatched. Despatched goods are considered dispatched once they have left our warehouse.
         1. From this point, a legally binding contract will be in place between you and us.
   4. If you are under the age of 18 you may not be able to buy certain goods because you are too young. These are set out on the relevant webpage for the goods.
   5. If you have placed a Subscription Order or a one off order for a Mystery Box or a New Release Box with us, you acknowledge that the contents of your Mystery Box or New Release Box are purposefully unknown to you and we alone determine the individual goods which together form the contents of such order.
   6. Discount codes supplied by Zatu Limited may, at our discretion, exclude:
      1. Sale items
      2. Pre-orders
      3. Special offers
      4. Certain products
      5. Products under £1.50
   7. End of sale times are always stated relative to UK GMT.
   8. Items added to your order for free such as, but not limited to, promotional items and fun packs are only available to UK customers unless otherwise stated.
4. Right to cancel this contract
   1. You have the right to cancel this contract within 14 days without giving any reason. Should your order be for a Mystery Box or a New Release Box, your right to cancel this contract shall apply to the order as a whole, inclusive of all products delivered within the Mystery Box and not any individual product(s).
   2. The cancellation period will expire after 14 days from the day you receive your order.
   3. If you place a Subscription Order, the cancellation period will expire after 14 days from the day you receive your first instalment. You acknowledge that we determine the individual products to be included within such an order and that should you decide to exercise your right to cancel, this must apply to the Subscription Order as a whole and not to any individual product(s) comprised within the Subscription Order.
   4. To exercise the right to cancel, you must inform us of your decision to cancel this contract by a clear statement (e.g. a letter sent by post or email). You can use the model cancellation form set out in the box below, but it is not obligatory.

      Cancellation form

      To Zatu Games,

      40 Barnard Road, Bowthorpe, Norwich, NR5 9JB

      [email protected]

      I/We [*] hereby give notice that I/We [*] cancel my/our [*] contract of sale of the following goods [*]/the supply of the following service [*],

      Ordered on [*]/received on [*],

      Name of consumer(s),

      Address of consumer(s),

      Signature of consumer(s) (only if this form is notified on paper),

      Date

      [*] Delete as appropriate

   5. To meet the cancellation deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right to cancel before the cancellation period has expired.
5. Effects of cancellation
   1. Subject to clause 5.8, if you cancel this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you relating to the order, including the standard costs of delivery (excluding any supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
   2. All refunded payments will be processed via the same method used by the customer when they placed their order, unless otherwise agreed between the customer and Zatu Limited prior to the refund being actioned.
   3. If you wish to cancel your order before your item is dispatched, you must inform us as soon as possible via either phone, email or your Zatu account. Whilst we will make every effort to ensure that the warehouse is notified of your cancellation, in rare cases, your item(s) may still be dispatched to you. If this is the case, we will provide you with a returns label to send the item(s) back to us, and once such item(s) are safely received in the same condition as they were sent, we will issue you a full refund minus the cost of the returns label.
   4. We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
   5. We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than:
      1. 14 days after the day we received back from you any goods supplied; or
      2. (if earlier) 14 days after the day you provide evidence that you have returned the goods; or
      3. if there were no goods supplied, 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to cancel this contract.
   6. We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly been informed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of the reimbursement.
   7. For the avoidance of doubt, if you have made a charitable donation at the point of placing your order with us, the charitable donation shall be non-refundable.
   8. If you have received goods:
      1. you shall send back the goods or hand them over to us without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your cancellation from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired;
      2. you will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods; and
      3. you are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
   9. For the avoidance of doubt, opening of the goods by way of removal of cellophane (or similar casing), or, in the case of a Subscription Order or one off order of a Mystery Box or New Release Box, the opening of the delivery box itself, will be deemed acceptance of the goods and you will lose your right to cancel this contract at that time.
6. Delivery
   1. We use a variety of both courier and postal services to deliver our goods. If you want to see your delivery options, visit our webpage (https://www.board-game.co.uk/payment-delivery/) before you place your order.
   2. The estimated date and time window for delivery of the goods is set out on the checkout page and again on the delivery page of our website. If you have placed a Pre-Order or back Order, visit the Pre-Order and Back Order tab at the top of this page for more information. Please note that orders which include a Pre-Order or Restock Order product, shall be despatched at the point that all Pre-Order or Back Order items within the order are available for despatch.
   3. If something happens which:
      1. is outside of our control; and
      2. affects the estimated date of delivery;
         we will endeavour to let you have a revised estimated date for delivery of the goods.
   4. Delivery of the goods will take place when we deliver them to the address that you gave to us. Please note, it is your responsibility to ensure that the delivery address provided is correct. Should your delivery address change prior to the goods being despatched, you must provide us with the updated address as soon as possible, and no later than the point in which your good(s) are despatched. We will use our reasonable endeavours to re-direct the parcel to such updated address, but cannot make any guarantees and will not be responsible or liable to you as a result.
   5. If an item is reported as not arrived, we reserve the right to open an investigation with our chosen courier service provider before declaring the item lost. We similarly reserve the right to resend the item as opposed to issuing a refund. If an offer is made to resend but declined, we reserve the right to deduct 50% from the value of the refund in order to cover losses in such unusual circumstances. It is also company policy not to entertain future orders from customers who we suspect to be fraudulently reporting items as missing. All packages have return addresses printed on them so will not be entirely lost. In order to avoid this circumstance, it is at the customer’s discretion to use a courier delivery option at a small extra cost (please see https://www.board-game.co.uk/payment-delivery/).
   6. Subject to clause 6.7, unless you and we agree otherwise, if we cannot deliver your goods within 30 days, we will let you know. At this point you will have the right to cancel your order for a full refund.
   7. Clause 6.6 shall not apply if you have pre-ordered any products from us unless we cannot deliver the goods to you within 30 days of the date on which the product has become available to us to deliver to you.
   8. If nobody is available to take delivery, please contact the courier service you selected at the time of purchase, quoting your tracking number. This information can be found on your order despatch email confirmation email.
   9. You are responsible for the goods when delivery has taken place. In other words, the risk in the goods passes to you when you take possession of the goods. If you have instructed us to leave the goods in a safe place or with a neighbour and we do so, this will be deemed delivery and you will be responsible for the goods from that point.
   10. If you place an order for collection, we will send you an order confirmation which will confirm the order's estimated arrival date and time at our store and from which point you are able to collect your order. Upon collection, you must provide a valid ID (Signed Passport, UK Driving License, Recent Utility Bill etc.) and an order confirmation, and we reserve the right to refuse collection if these details are not provided. If an order is not collected within 7 days of the order being placed, or we have received no contact from you confirming a delay in collection, the order will be returned to our warehouse where a refund for the cost of the item will then be processed.
   11. For the avoidance of doubt, we will only issue a refund to you upon receipt of the item(s) you wish to return.
   12. Should we suspect, acting under reasonable beliefs, that there may be any fraudulent activity in relation to your return, order or account, we reserve the right to investigate the matter fully before accepting that any refunds are to be issued to you.
   13. If you do not receive your item(s) following receipt of the Despatch Confirmation Email, you are required to notify us within 20 days of the Despatch Confirmation Email, failing which we reserve the right to withhold payment of any refund.
7. Payment
   1. We accept the following credit cards and debit cards: Visa, MasterCard, Maestro and American Express. We do not accept cash.
   2. We will do all that we reasonably can to ensure that all of the information you give us when paying for the goods is secure by using an encrypted secure payment mechanism. However, in the absence of negligence on our part, any failure by us to comply with this contract or our Privacy Statement (see clause 2) or breach by us of our duties under applicable laws we will not be legally responsible to you for any loss that you may suffer if a third party gains unauthorised access to any information that you give us.
   3. Your credit card or debit card may be charged before your order has been accepted. Your order will be accepted at the point we despatch your order from our warehouse. We will notify you as soon as reasonably practicable following the despatch of your item. In the case that we are unable to supply ordered goods for whatever reason we will inform you as soon as possible. A full refund will be awarded where goods have already been paid for.
   4. All pre-orders and 'restocked expected' orders will have their payment taken at the point of ordering.
   5. If you have placed a Subscription Order, you acknowledge that your subscription has an initial and recurring payment feature and you accept responsibility for all recurring charges prior to cancellation. Your Subscription Order will be automatically extended for successive monthly periods at the original subscription rate until you cancel your Subscription Order in accordance with clause 7.7 below.
   6. The initial payment of the Subscription Order shall be taken at the point of order and thereafter the means of payment you provided for your Subscription Order shall be used to charge you around the 25^th day of every month, or, where the order is placed before the 25^th day of the month, the second instalment shall be taken the 25^th day of the following month, until you cancel your Subscription Order in accordance with clause 7.7.
   7. Should you decide to cancel your Subscription Order with us, you must notify us as soon as possible and no later than 5pm on the 24^th of the month to ensure your recurring monthly payment is cancelled. In order to cancel your Subscription Order, please email [email protected] or call 01603 801206
   8. All payments by credit card or debit card need to be authorised by the relevant card issuer. We may also need to use extra security steps via:
      1. Verified by Visa: https://www.visaeurope.com/making-payments/verified-by-visa/;
      2. Mastercard®SecureCodeTM:https://www.mastercard.co.uk/en-gb/consumers/features-benefits/securecode.html; or
      3. American Express SafeKey: https://www.americanexpress.com/icc/safekey.html.
   9. To ensure that your credit, debit or charge card is not being used without your consent, we will occasionally validate name, address and other personal information supplied by yourself during order with appropriate third party databases. Acceptance of these terms and conditions indicates acceptance by you of these checks being carried out. Personal information provided by you may be disclosed to a registered Credit Reference Agency, where a record may be kept of this personal information. This is carried out only to confirm your identity in preventing fraud and credit checks are not performed. Your credit rating will remain unaffected.
   10. If your payment is not received by us and you have already received the goods, you:
       1. must pay for such goods within 30 days; or
       2. must return them to us as soon as possible. If so, you must keep the goods in your possession, take reasonable care of them (including ensuring that you follow any instructions or manuals given with the goods) and not use them before you return them to us.
   11. If you do not return any goods (such as where you have not paid for them) we may collect the goods from you at your expense. We will try to contact you to let you know if we intend to do this.
   12. Nothing in this clause affects your legal rights to cancel the contract during the ‘cooling off’ period under clauses 4 and 5.
   13. The price of the goods:
       1. is in pounds sterling (£)(GBP), Euros (€)EUR), or US Dollars ($) (USD);
       2. includes VAT at the applicable rate; and
       3. does not include the cost of delivering the goods (if you want delivery options and costs, visit our webpage (https://www.board-game.co.uk/payment-delivery/) before you place your order).
   14. If you are a member of the Victory Points loyalty scheme, we may award you points for every purchase you make on our site. To see whether the goods you are buying under this contract qualify under the programme, please visit the website (https://www.board-game.co.uk/victory-points) before you place your order as we cannot award points later.

9. Nature of the goods

      1. are of satisfactory quality;
      2. are fit for purpose;
      3. match the description, sample or model; and
      4. are installed properly (if we install any goods).
   2. We must provide you with goods that comply with your legal rights.
   3. The packaging of the goods may be different from that shown on the site.
   4. While we try to make sure that:
      1. all weights, sizes and measurements set out on the site are as accurate as possible, there may be a small tolerance of up to 1% in such weights, sizes and measurements in the following goods: board games, card games, books, video games and collectables; and
      2. the colours of our goods are displayed accurately on the site, the actual colours that you see on your computer may vary depending on the monitor that you use.
   5. Any goods sold:
      1. at discount prices;
      2. as remnants; or
      3. as substandard;
         will be identified and sold as such. Please check that they are of a satisfactory quality for their intended use.
   6. If we can’t supply certain goods we may need to substitute them with alternative goods of equal or better standard and value. In this case:
      1. we will let you know if we intend to do this but this may not always be possible; and
      2. you can refuse to accept such substitutes, in which case we will offer you a refund or a replacement and let you know how long such an offer remains open for.
   7. You must satisfy yourself that the goods being purchased are appropriate for the age of the likely user of the goods, with particular attention being put to any small product pieces forming part of the goods. You should consult any age information and product description of the goods to determine whether the goods being purchased are age appropriate.
   8. Where you place a Subscription Order with us, we will endeavour to ensure the products within the order are different each month, however we cannot always guarantee this. If you receive a product you already own, you shall be entitled to return the product to us, select a replacement product from an exhaustive list, and your replacement product shall be sent to you in your next monthly delivery. This is up to a maximum of 1 replacement product per box, per month. The returned product must be received back by us in advance of the next month’s delivery and in the same condition it was received.

       4. to reject the goods and get a refund.
    4. If the product you are returning is an electronic product, such as a videogame, our technicians will inspect the product to establish the fault before a refund, repair or replacement is determined to be due.
    5. In some circumstances, the outer packaging (e.g. the cellophane or cardboard) of your product may be slightly damaged. We do not consider this a defect in the product you are purchasing, so you will not have the right to reject in this instance.
11. Outlet Store
    1. Please note that all items within our outlet section contain a level of damage to the packaging or box, which in no way affects game play. Outlet products will be clearly marked in the title as belonging to A or B grade. Prices for outlet products are determined relative to the damage before they are listed and are non-negotiable. Grade descriptions are as follows -
       1. A Grade products may have minor cosmetic damage to the box and/or packaging
       2. B Grade products may have sustained varying levels of cosmetic damage to the box and/or packaging. This may include tears, dents and crushing in some cases.
    2. Items listed in the Outlet Store (A or B grade) will not be eligible for return, except in rare instances where the game is not playable upon delivery. This may be due to missing pieces, or damage that goes beyond the described grade boundaries.
12. End of the contract
    1. If this contract is ended it will not affect our right to receive any money which you owe to us under this contract.
13. Limit on our responsibility to you

       1. death or personal injury, unless caused by our negligence;
       2. losses that:
          (a) were not foreseeable to you and us when the contract was formed; or
          (b) were not caused by any breach on our part;
       3. losses to non-consumers; and
       4. any other losses.
    2. If any provision of clause 13.1 above (or any sub-clause of clause 13.1) is or becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable, the legality, validity and enforceability of any other provision or sub-clause of clause 13.1 shall not be affected.
14. Disputes
    1. We will try to resolve any disputes with you quickly and efficiently.
    2. If you are unhappy with:
       1. the goods;
       2. our service to you; or
       3. any other matter,
          please contact us as soon as possible.
    3. If you and we cannot resolve a dispute using our internal complaint handling procedure, we will:
       1. let you know that we cannot settle the dispute with you; and

15. Third party rights
    1. No one other than a party to this contract has any right to enforce any term of this contract. However, if a person acquires the goods lawfully from you, you may transfer our guarantee to that person. This also applies where we have provided services in respect of an item you have transferred.
16. Waiver
    1. Delay or failure by Zatu Limited to exercise rights or powers under these terms and conditions do not operate as a waiver of them. Any waiver must be in writing and signed by authorised representation of Zatu Limited.
17. Age & Region Restrictions
    1. Any product with a PEGI (Pan-European Games Information) rating will be clearly displayed on the relevant product page.
    2. Any person attempting to purchase from our site confirm they are of the required minimum age to receive and use the product that has been ordered. Any person intending to purchase a game for a third party confirms that the intended recipient is of the minimum required age to receive and use said product. We reserve the right to refuse supply where we have reason to believe that the customer is below the required minimum age.
    3. Remember: It is an offence to buy an age restricted title if you, or any third party intended recipient, is under the required minimum age.
    4. Any video game products (including but not limited to, downloaded products, physical discs and add-ons) are produced and sold for use in the United Kingdom. Zatu Limited takes no responsibility for the functionality of these products used outside of the UK.
