QUALITY

Ad-Options Ltd take great care to source all promotional gifts from established, reliable and ethical sources at all times. If anything arrives in an unsatisfactory condition or is not as described, please notify us within 7 days of receipt. Clear Acrylic Products – We only supply the best quality, UK manufactured clear acrylic gifts. Most clear acrylic items will take on slight surface marking when handled repeatedly, or occasionally in transit, and this is considered normal for this type of product. This type of marking is virtually invisible once an insert is in place and the focus is on the content, rather than the surface. Returns cannot be accepted for light marking but, if in any doubt, please return a sample for verification. If the best possible finish is required, please order items individually bagged (at an extra charge) or ask for higher grade acylic options. If you receive goods with an obvious manufacturing defect, please do not continue to assemble the batch and contact us as soon as possible.

CLAIMS

Any discrepancy in quantity or quality must be notified within 7 days of receipt, otherwise we cannot accept any responsibility.

RETENTION OF TITLE

All goods supplied by us remain ours until any outstanding amount is paid in full.

We reserve the right to alter any details or design of products illustrated without notice. All dimensions shown throughout this Web Site are approximate.

Customers should note that colours can vary markedly when viewed on different screen and monitor types and settings.

Please check with our sales team if you have a specific deadline for delivery. Every effort will be made to deliver on time, but we cannot be held responsible for delays in shipment or late delivery. Carriage is charged extra, as are packing cases where applicable.

CANCELLATION CHARGES

A charge will be made on all cancelled orders to cover credit card fees, administration costs and any materials used up to the point of cancellation.

PRICES AND VAT

All our prices are for quantities indicated and exclude UK VAT.

EXPORT ORDERS

Customers outside of the UK are responsible for any IMPORT DUTIES, CLEARANCE FEES or BROKERAGE fees, including any other additional charges. Goods are on a DDU (Delivered Duty Unpaid) basis (Inco Terms 2010). This is managed by our insured couriers on a ‘Pay on delivery’ basis. Please note that consignments may be subject to delay, due to customs checks, weather or other factors beyond our control. The customer is responsible for providing all information required by local customs offices to ensure the goods are cleared efficiently. We are not able to refund any duty paid on any items returned to us later, either faulty or unsuitable, as this contract is between the purchaser and their own local Customs and Excise department.

We want you to be happy with your purchase. Please check the goods on delivery and ensure that they are supplied correctly. If any printed items contain a fault or printing error, please contact out sales team within 7 days of delivery.

Our registered office premises are cavity wall insulated, with solar hot water panels, solar electricity generation and low power lighting.

In practice, we encourage and train all management and staff to:

• Comply with all environmental legislation affecting our business and aim to meet and exceed any environmental benchmarks as may be demanded by customers or produced by the Environment Agency.
• Raise staff awareness of their individual and collective environmental responsibilities, with our Managing Director being assigned the role of ‘Environmental Coordinator’. He will be responsible for environmental matters within the business and to facilitate the transfer of best practice to other employees.
• Seek to publicise our environmental performance by providing information to employees, stakeholders and the general public. This information shall be provided in the Company’s literature and websites, and be relevant to the target audience.
• Review and update this policy on at least an annual basis, or as appropriate to reflect the business’s changing requirements.

SUSTAINABILITY POLICY

At BusinessGiftUK.com we recognise the importance of sustainability and the impact that our business can have on the environment. We are committed to minimising our environmental footprint and contributing to a more sustainable future. To this end, we have developed the following sustainability policy:

1. Environmental Responsibility. We aim to reduce our impact on the environment by minimizing waste, pollution and using resources efficiently.
This includes:
• Reducing our use of paper and promoting digital communication wherever possible.
• Encouraging the use of reusable bags and packaging materials.
• Working with suppliers who demonstrate environmental responsibility and share our commitment to sustainability.

2. Product Selection. We will select products with environmental sustainability in mind, including:
• Products made from sustainable materials.
• Products with a long lifespan or that can be reused or recycled.
• Products with minimal packaging and made from recycled materials.

3. Promoting Sustainable Behaviour. We will promote sustainable behaviour among our staff, customers and suppliers by:
• Raising awareness of environmental issues and our commitment to sustainability.
• Encouraging our staff to participate in initiatives to reduce our environmental footprint.
• Working with customers to encourage the use of sustainable products and packaging.

4. Compliance with Legislation. We are committed to complying with all relevant environmental legislation and regulations, as well as any other requirements we may voluntarily subscribe to.

5. Continuous Improvement. We are committed to continuously reviewing and improving our sustainability practices, and we will regularly assess and monitor our performance to ensure we are achieving our goals.

We believe that by implementing these measures, we can play our part in protecting the environment and contributing to a more sustainable future. We will regularly review and update our Sustainability Policy to ensure we are meeting our commitments and making a positive impact on the environment.

EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES POLICY

It is this organisation’s policy to treat job applicants and employees in the same way, regardless of their sex, sexual orientation, age, race, ethnic origin, religion, pregancy, maternity or disability. Further, the organisation will monitor the composition of the workforce and introduce positive action if it appears that the policy is not fully effective.

EMAIL PERMISSION AND PRIVACY POLICY

We are dedicated to protecting your privacy and the privacy of anyone on the receiving end of an email from our service. To that end, we have instituted certain policies to help us make sure our service remains a safe, trusted environment for email marketing and correspondence.

We use a permission-based email-marketing platform. It is designed to let organisations send emails to people who want to receive those emails. Our permission policy is part of the Terms of Use agreed to by every customer, and it appears as a reminder on our import process every time new lists are added. It goes beyond the stipulations set forth in the United States’ Can-Spam legislation and is as follows:

To send an email to someone using our system, that recipient must be:

• Someone who is a customer, member or subscriber of your business or organisation,
• Someone who has specifically asked to receive your emails by opting in or signing up in some way, or
• Someone who has bought a product or service from us in the past
• Not part of any bought in mailing list. No list sales, rental or purchasing is undertaken or allowed here

We do not rent, sell, or otherwise share our lists or any other data about our customers, and we do not allow any third party to rent or purchase our lists and/or send to them using our network.

Protecting your customer lists and data – We do everything we can to make sure our customer lists, email content and response data remains private and confidential. Though we reserve the right to monitor your lists, content and response data from time to time to make sure they comply with our Terms of Use, we will never share, sell or rent your customer data to anyone for any reason.

We do not store login, password or personal information in our system and you can remove authorisation for any or all networks at any time. We will not use, share, display or transfer any data returned from any network with any third party at any time.

To sum things up…

Your privacy, and the privacy of people on both sides of the emails you send, is extremely important to us, and we’ll do everything we can to protect it.

Please see also our Privacy Policy page.
