It is your responsibility to check the order details, including selected Vintstreet Products, delivery details and pricing, before you submit your order through the Platform.

We may cancel, at any time before delivery and for whatever reason, an order that we have previously accepted, including where there is a considerable delay in dispatching your order, if for any reason we cannot supply the Vintstreet Product you ordered (for example for an event beyond our reasonable control) or if the Vintstreet Products ordered were subject to an error on our Platform (for example they were out of stock or in relation to a description, price or image). We will contact you using the details you provided when you placed your order. 

You may cancel an order for the Vintstreet Product within 24 hours after the order has been made. Following this time, the order is non-cancellable, and the item will be dispatched to you.  

Placing an order – auction sales  

We may list some of our Vintstreet Products on the Platform with an auction functionality where you can bid to purchase the Vintstreet Product (Vintstreet Auction). 

By placing a bid on a Vintstreet Auction, you are making a binding offer to purchase the item at the bid price. You may not retract your bid once it has been placed. 

The highest valid bid at the end of the auction period will be the winning bid, and the Account who placed that bid agrees to purchase the Vintstreet Product at the winning bid price, plus any applicable delivery fees and taxes. 

If you are the winning Buyer and fail to complete the transaction, we may, at our discretion: 

  1. suspend or terminate your Account;
  2. prohibit you from participating in future auctions; and/or
  3. take other actions as we deem appropriate.

We deliver the Vintstreet Products using a range of delivery methods. You may need to sign for some deliveries. If neither you nor your authorised representative is at the delivery address to accept delivery, you agree that we may leave the Vintstreet Products at your premises. 

Risk in the Vintstreet Products will pass to you when the Vintstreet Products have come into your physical possession, except where you have arranged for delivery by a carrier (not named as an option by us) yourself, in which case, risk in the Vintstreet Products will pass to you on delivery to the carrier.

Deductions from refunds if you are exercising your right to change your mind: If you are exercising your right to change your mind and returning goods to us, we may reduce your refund of the Price (excluding delivery costs) to reflect any reduction in the value of the Vintstreet Products, if this has been caused by your mishandling.

When your refund will be made: We will make any refunds due to you as soon as possible. If you are exercising your right to change your mind, your refund will be made within 14 days from the day on which we receive the relevant Vintstreet Products back from you. 

5. Vintstreet Marketplace 

Vintstreet Marketplace summary    

The Platform also features a marketplace where Buyers and Sellers can find each other, and advertise, buy and sell goods online. We provide the Vintstreet Marketplace (including hosting and maintaining the Vintstreet Marketplace) to users, process payments between Buyers and Sellers, and provide promotional opportunities for Sellers (together the Vintstreet Services).  

This clause 5 will apply where you participate as a Buyer or a Seller on the Vintstreet Marketplace.  

We will provide the Vintstreet Services in accordance with this Agreement and all applicable laws, and we warrant to you that the Vintstreet Services will be provided using reasonable care and skill.  

You understand and agree that we only make available the Vintstreet Services. We are not party to any agreement entered into between a Buyer and a Seller, and we have no control over the conduct of Sellers, Buyers or any other users of the Platform.  

A Seller wanting to provide goods creates an Account on the Platform and posts an accurate and complete description of the goods they can provide, including the fees for the goods (Listing Fees) and any other relevant details (Seller Listing). 

Sellers must include all additional terms and conditions relating to their goods in the relevant Sellers’ Listing or must clearly state that there are additional terms and conditions. By sending a Purchase Request, a Buyer is accepting the additional terms and conditions of the relevant Sellers. 

A Seller can withdraw its Seller Listing at any time before a Buyer purchases the item. 

Buyers and Sellers can be located all over the world, therefore customs and duties may be applicable to purchases on the Vintstreet Marketplace. While we endeavour to display all applicable charges on the Platform before checkout, Buyers located in a different country from the Seller may be required to pay additional import taxes, duties, or fees upon arrival of the goods in their delivery country.  

Placing an order – ‘buy now’ 

A Buyer may request to purchase the goods described in a Seller Listing by sending a request through the Platform. The request is an offer from the Buyer to the Seller to buy the goods described in the Seller Listing (Purchase Request).  

If the Seller accepts the Purchase Request through the Platform, it becomes a Confirmed Purchase 

By accepting a Purchase Request, the Seller confirms that it is legally entitled to and capable of supplying the relevant goods.  

Placing an order – auction sales  

Some Seller Listings may feature an auction functionality where Buyers can bid on items listed by Sellers (Auction Listings). 

By placing a bid on an Auction Listing, you are making a binding offer to purchase the item at the bid price. You may not retract your bid once it has been placed. 

The highest valid bid at the end of the auction period will be the winning bid, and the Buyer who placed that bid agrees to purchase the item at the winning bid price. 

Upon winning an auction, the transaction becomes a Confirmed Purchase, and the Buyer agrees to complete the transaction with the Seller. 

If you are the winning Buyer, you agree to pay the winning bid amount, plus any applicable delivery fees, taxes, and the Buyer Protection Fee. 

If you are the winning Buyer and fail to complete the transaction, we may, at our discretion: 

  1. suspend or terminate your Account; 
  2. prohibit you from participating in future auctions; and/or
  3. take other actions as we deem appropriate. 

Sellers may set a “Buy Now” price. If a Buyer chooses to purchase the item at this price, the auction will immediately end and the item will be sold to that Buyer. 

Sellers agree that by listing an item for auction, they are making an offer to sell the item to the highest bidder. Sellers may not cancel an Auction Listing once a bid has been placed, except in exceptional circumstances and with our express permission. 

Where you are a Seller, we do not guarantee that any Auction Listing will receive bids or result in a sale. 

Buyer Protection Fee 

We offer Buyer Protection, to provide you with a remedy where an item you purchase on the Vintstreet Marketplace is lost, damaged or is materially different to how the product was described by the Seller. 

A fee for Buyer Protection, as set out on the Platform (Buyer Protection Fee) will be automatically added to all purchases made through the Vintstreet Marketplace. The Buyer Protection Fee is non-optional and is included in the checkout price. 

Buyer Protection provides Buyers with the following remedies in the event of issues with their purchase: 

  1. If the item is not received: Where a Buyer does not receive the item purchased through the Platform, and the Seller cannot provide proof of delivery, the Buyer may be eligible for a full refund of the Listing Fee. 
  2. Item not as described: If the item received is significantly different from the Seller’s description on the Platform, the Buyer may be eligible for a full refund of the Listing Fee upon return of the item to the Seller, or partial refund if the Buyer chooses to keep the item. 

Damaged items: For items that arrive damaged or faulty, the Buyer may be eligible for a full refund of the Listing Fee upon return of the item to the Seller, or a partial refund for the cost of repair if the Buyer chooses to keep the item. 

  1. Counterfeit items: If a Buyer receives an item that is proven to be counterfeit, they will be eligible for a full refund of the Listing Fee upon return of the item. 

To be eligible for these remedies, Buyers must: 

report the issue to us within 2 days of receiving the item (Buyer Protection Claim Period); 

  1. provide us with all necessary evidence as requested by us to support their claim; and 
  2. cooperate with our investigation process. 

We will assess each claim on a case-by-case basis and make a determination at our sole discretion, acting reasonably. 

In cases where a refund is approved, we will process the refund to the Buyer’s original payment method within 10 days Business Days of our decision. 

The Buyer Protection does not cover: 

  1. a Buyer’s remorse or change of mind;
  2. claims made outside the specified timeframes;
  3. transactions completed outside of the Platform; or
  4. losses due to the Buyer’s failure to exercise reasonable caution. 

We reserve the right to modify the Buyer Protection coverage at any time, with any changes being effective immediately upon posting to the Platform. Your continued use of the Platform after such changes constitutes your acceptance of the new Buyer Protection terms. 

You understand and agree that the Buyer Protection Fee is non-refundable and will not be returned to you after purchase, even if no claim is made under the Buyer Protection Policy. 

Payments  

As a Buyer, you agree to pay (and your chosen payment method will be charged) the Listing Fees at the time a Purchase Request is accepted and becomes a Confirmed Booking, or when an Offer is accepted. 

As a Buyer, the Buyer Protection Fee will be payable by you to us at the same time that you pay the Listing Fees, in addition to the Listing Fees. 

As a Seller, in consideration for providing the Platform, we will charge you the services fees (as set out on the Platform) to the Seller as set out on the Platform (Service Fee). The Service Fee will be deducted from the Listing Fees, and will be paid to us at or around the same time as the Buyer pays the Listing Fees through the Platform.  

Upon receipt of the Listing Fees from the Buyer, our third party payment processor will hold the Listing Fees, minus our Service Fee, until such time as the Seller has delivered the goods to the Buyer and the Buyer Protection Claim Period has ended. The Listing Fees may be held in accordance with clause 5.39, and not distributed to the Seller, where a Buyer has raised a claim under the Buyer Protection.  

The payment methods we offer are set out on the Platform. We may offer payment through a third-party provider, for example, Klarna and Clearpay. You acknowledge and agree that we have no control over the actions of the third-party provider, and your use of the third-party payment method may be subject to additional terms and conditions. We do not store any credit card details, and all payment information is collected and stored through our third-party payment processor. 

You must not pay, or attempt to pay, any amount in connection with these Terms by fraudulent or unlawful means. If you make a payment by debit card or credit card, you warrant that you are authorised to use the debit card or credit card to make the payment. If payment is made by direct debit, by providing your bank account details and accepting these Terms, you authorise our nominated third party payment processor to debit your account in accordance with these Terms and you certify that you are either an account holder or an authorised signatory on the account for which you provide details. 

You agree that we may set-off or deduct from any monies payable to you under these Terms, any amounts which are payable by you to us in connection with the Platform. 

We reserve the right to place a hold on any funds transacted through the Platform in connection with a Confirmed Purchase. Funds may be held in the event of a dispute under the Buyer Protection, to allow time for resolution of the dispute, or where we reasonably believe that a transaction may violate these Terms or applicable laws. We will endeavour to resolve a dispute under the Buyer Protection within 10 days, and funds will generally take an additional 10 days to be received by the Seller. If funds are placed on hold, we will provide notice to the applicable Seller detailing the reasons for the hold. We do not pay interest on any funds held pursuant to this clause. You agree that we shall have no liability for any losses or damages arising out of our decision to hold funds in accordance with this clause. This clause shall not be interpreted to obligate us to hold funds in any particular situation, and our decision not to hold funds does not transfer any liability to us arising from or related to the applicable transaction.  

We do not store any credit card details, and all payment information is collected and stored through our third-party payment processor. 

Refunds and cancellation 

Subject to disputes under Buyer Protection, the cancellation, exchange or refund of any goods ordered on this Platform is strictly a matter between the relevant Buyer and Seller. The terms and conditions agreed to between the Seller and the Buyer must be set out clearly in the relevant Seller Listing.  

For disputes between Buyers and Sellers, we encourage Parties to attempt to resolve disputes (including claims for returns or refunds) with the other Party directly and in good faith, either on the Platform or through external communication methods. In the event that a dispute cannot be resolved through these means, the Parties may choose to resolve the dispute in any manner agreed between the Parties or otherwise in accordance with applicable laws.  

6. Promotional Opportunities and Discount Codes 

As a Seller, you may choose to purchase promotional opportunities, such as placement on our home page (Promotional Opportunity). Promotional Opportunities are subject to the fees and the terms and conditions as set out in any Promotional Opportunity offer and displayed on the Platform or otherwise communicated to you. In the event of any conflict between any Promotional Opportunity terms and conditions and these Terms, the Promotional Opportunity terms and conditions will prevail.  

We may from time-to-time issue promotional discount codes to you for use on the Platform. To claim the discount, you must enter the promotional discount code at the time of submitting your order or Purchase Request on the Platform. The conditions of use relating to promotional discount codes will be set out on the Platform. We may also from time to time run competitions on the Platform or on social media. These competitions are subject to terms and conditions which will be made available on the Platform at the time of the competition.  

7. Communication 

We may contact you via the Platform using in-Account notifications, or via off-Platform communication channels, such as text message or email. 

Buyers and Sellers using the Vintstreet Marketplace can communicate privately using our private messaging service. Buyers and Sellers must not organise the provision of the goods off the Platform, or otherwise to attempt to circumvent the payment of Service Fees to us.  

8. Reviews – Vintstreet Marketplace 

Reviews can be made by Buyers about their experience purchasing from a Seller on the Platform (Review).  

Reviews can be viewed by any user and will remain viewable until the relevant Account is removed or terminated. 

You agree to provide true, fair and accurate information in your Review. If we consider that the Review is untrue, unfair, inaccurate, offensive or inappropriate, we may delete the Review or ban you from posting the Review. We do not undertake to review each Review. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not responsible for the content of any Reviews. 

You can write a Review about a Seller if you have had an experience with that Seller, which means that (1) you have engaged the Seller through the Platform; or (2) you can otherwise document your interaction with the Seller in relation to the Platform, including via correspondence (collectively referred to as a Buyer Experience). 

You may not write a review about a Seller you have previously owned, currently own, or which an immediate family member currently owns, or if you are an executive or employee of that Seller, or otherwise work for the Seller. Similarly, you may not write a Review about a direct competitor to the Seller that you own, are employed by or work for.  

Your Buyer Experience must have occurred in the 12 months prior to you writing a Review.  

You may only write about your own Buyer Experience. You are not permitted to write a Review about somebody else’s Buyer Experience, such as that of a family member or friend. 

You are encouraged to be specific and factual in your Reviews. If you have been offered an incentive to write a Review, you should include information about this in your Review. Incentives include being offered a gift, reward, discount or advantage for writing a Review on the Platform. 

This clause will survive the termination or expiry of these Terms.

If you make any User Content available on or through the Platform, including on social media using a Tag, you grant to us a worldwide, irrevocable, perpetual, non-exclusive, transferable, royalty-free licence to use the User Content, with the right to use, view, copy, adapt, modify, distribute, license, transfer, communicate, publicly display, publicly perform, transmit, stream, broadcast, access, or otherwise exploit such User Content on, through or by means of the Platform and our social media platforms. We agree to only modify User Content to the extent reasonably required by us. You may request that any of your User Content is removed from the Platform or social media by sending us an email.

We process Buyers’ Personal Data, and Sellers process Buyers’ Personal Data (for example, the Buyer’s name and delivery address), as separate and independent controllers. This means that we and Sellers are responsible for the Personal Data of Buyers we each process.  

Where you are a Seller, you agree to: 

  1. comply with all obligations under the Data Protection Act 2018 (if it applies to you), and all other data protection laws applicable to the processing of Buyer Personal Data;

Despite anything to the contrary, to the maximum extent permitted by law, you (as a Seller) are liable for, and agree to indemnify us and hold us harmless in respect of, any Liability that we may suffer, incur or otherwise become liable for, arising from or in connection with your breach of this clause 12 or any applicable data protection laws.

This clause 13.2 applies if you are a ‘consumer’ as defined in the Consumer Rights Act 2015 and to the extent that the Platform is considered digital content. If the Platform is defective and it damages a device or digital content belonging to you and this is caused by our failure to use reasonable care and skill, we will either repair the damage or pay you compensation. However, we will not be liable for damage which you could have avoided by following our advice to apply an update offered to you free of charge or for damage which was caused by you failing to correctly follow installation instructions or to have in place the minimum system requirements advised by us. 

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for, and you waive and release us from and against, any Liability caused or contributed to by, arising from or connected with:

  2. in respect of the Vintstreet Marketplace, any aspect of the Buyer and Seller interaction including the goods offered by the Seller, the description of the goods requested or offered, or the supply and delivery of goods by the Seller.  

Subject to clause 13.2 (damage caused by defective digital content) and clause 13.1 (liability which cannot legally be limited), but despite anything to the contrary, to the maximum extent permitted by law:
