Clients should always contact their primary office in the first instance to manage all Requests (including international Requests).

Private Services, acting reasonably, reserves the right to withdraw any of the Services and/or to refuse to accept any Requests at its sole discretion.

If Private Services is unable or not obliged to deal with any Request, it will inform the Client as soon as reasonably practicable.

You undertake that all details you provide to us for the purpose of booking, ordering or purchasing products or services are correct, that the debit, credit and/or Payment Card you use from time to time is your own and that you have sufficient funds to cover the cost of the product or service.

From time to time the procurement or provision of certain services, products or benefits may incur a Private Services services fee or handling charge (of which you will be notified in advance, and which may vary between Private Services offices) and in such event you hereby authorize Private Services to debit your Payment Card with any such handling charges or, alternatively, to invoice you in respect of such fees or charges.

CANCELLATIONS, REFUNDS AND RETURNS

The Client acknowledges that the sales contract for the supply of goods and/or services made as a result of a Request is between the Client and the relevant Supplier and that Private Services is not a party to such contract. Cancellation of contracts with Suppliers should be addressed with the Supplier directly and will be subject to the relevant Supplier’s policies.

If a Request for a specific product or service is not available, Private Services may offer you substitute products or services of a similar description and standard. You may at your sole discretion refuse acceptance of such substitute products and/or services and request a full refund in the event that payment has already been made to the Supplier for the unavailable product or service.

The relevant Supplier has approved all descriptions of any products, services or Benefits on the Website. Private Services shall not be liable for inaccurate or misleading descriptions.

Payment for all products and services shall be due immediately upon acceptance of the order by the relevant Supplier.

The Client further acknowledges that for goods purchased on his or her behalf by Private Services directly from a Supplier, returns and exchanges will be subject to the terms and conditions of that Supplier and returns or exchange of goods purchased may not always be permitted. In circumstances where Private Services is asked to source a specific item for a Client, Private Services shall inform the Client of the refund and exchange policy of that Supplier in advance. Private Services shall not be liable to the Client where a Supplier does not accept the return or exchange of an item.

It shall be the Client’s sole responsibility to retain all proof of return of goods to a Supplier, we recommend returning the goods by registered delivery, or by any other similar means of ascertaining the date of the return dispatch and tracking the return.

We will inform you when we become aware that a Supplier has processed a refund of an order.

Where orders are delivered outside the EU, any applicable customs duties and sales taxes shall not be refundable through Private Services. It shall be the Client’s sole responsibility to recover such monies. Private Services shall have no liability for any items held by any customs or border agency.

In the case of premium courier services, if the Client is not at the specified Delivery address to receive their Order at the scheduled time, the Client may incur further charges for subsequent attempts to re-deliver the goods.

SUPPLIERS

Suppliers are responsible for providing you with the services, products and Benefits you Request us to order on your behalf from time to time. Private Services shall communicate with Suppliers on your behalf unless it is more appropriate for you to contact the Supplier directly.

Suppliers may impose their own terms and conditions, which, in every case apply to the supply of goods and/or services by that Supplier to you, and such terms and conditions shall be binding upon you at the time of order.

When ordering a product or service or accessing a Benefit, you may be required to provide your Payment Card details. If you request and authorize Private Services to use your Payment Card in order to pay a Supplier for products or services, you acknowledge and agree that Private Services shall have no liability or be responsible in any way whatsoever in respect of the use of your Payment Card provided that Private Services acts in accordance with the instructions issued by you in relation thereof.
