Direct marketing and your preferences

We and other companies within the John Lewis Partnership group of companies would like to keep you up to date with a range of products and services provided by the John Lewis Partnership, which includes John Lewis Department Stores, Waitrose and John Lewis Financial Services Ltd ("JLFS"). This includes news of special events, promotions, product launches and catalogues. JLFS offers direct services from the John Lewis Partnership and provides a range of products and services including travel and financial services. We are constantly looking for ways to improve our service and may therefore occasionally contact you for research purposes. We may contact you for the above purposes by post, telephone, SMS text messaging and/or email. We will obtain your consent where we are required to do so in accordance with applicable law.
Waitrose and, as applicable, other companies in the John Lewis Partnership, will ensure that any direct marketing or market research that you receive or are contacted about by electronic means will provide a simple means for you to refuse further marketing. For example, in emails it may provide you with an 'unsubscribe' link, or an email address to which you can send an opt-out request. Waitrose and members of the John Lewis Partnership will, within a reasonable period, stop any marketing to which you object or withdraw your consent to, in order to allow sufficient time for the change to be administered. You can change your mind at any time about marketing by informing Waitrose using the contact details set out at the top of this notice. In such cases Waitrose will not necessarily remove all your personal data from its database(s) but will note and respect your changed direct marketing preferences.

Delivery restrictions

We reserve the right to restrict deliveries in certain areas. You can find details of areas where delivery may be restricted under 'Delivery and returns' within the 'Help' section. This includes the right to withdraw our services to individual customers' addresses if the recipient is repeatedly unavailable to take delivery of the order on the chosen day or in other exceptional circumstances.

Delivery arrangements

At the point at which you place your order, the full list of available delivery options will be shown.
Our deliveries are made by third party carriers, depending on your chosen delivery service, the size of the order and where in the country you live. When your order has been despatched, you will receive an email to confirm that your order is on its way.
For all Next Day and Named Day and some standard deliveries including deliveries of hampers and higher value/volume orders and in some deliveries of alcohol, a signature will be required. If you are out, the delivery driver will attempt delivery to a neighbouring address and if this is not possible, a card will be posted through your letterbox with instructions on how to arrange re-delivery.
Some standard deliveries do not require a signature. If you are out, the delivery driver may be able to leave your order for you in a safe place, if it is not visible from the road and not exposed to weather conditions which may affect the product or its packaging. If this is not possible, the delivery driver will attempt delivery to a neighbouring address and if this is not possible, a card will be posted through your letterbox with instructions on how to arrange re-delivery. You should keep your delivery note and all packaging and should notify our customer services team immediately if any of the order is missing or damaged (for products which are damaged on delivery please see below).Where the delivery contains alcoholic merchandise (please see "Alcoholic merchandise" section below), the delivery driver may ask for appropriate proof of age identification bearing a photograph, date of birth and a holographic mark if they consider that the recipient does not appear to be over the age of 18. Where the delivery cannot be signed for by a person over the age of 18 or where the delivery driver is not satisfied that the person has been able to provide acceptable proof of age identification then the delivery will not be made and a card will be left with instructions on how to arrange re-delivery. Waitrose does not accept any liability for losses arising from wines being delivered outside of the selected time slot (if any).

General payment provisions

Luncheon Vouchers and coupons cannot be used as a method of payment online. Any of the following cards may be used to pay for your shopping: Partnership Card, Waitrose or John Lewis Account Card including Business Accounts, Visa Debit (Delta), Maestro UK, MasterCard, Visa Credit and American Express.
You may also use John Lewis & Waitrose gift vouchers as a method of payment online. Please note that there is a limit of ten gift vouchers that may be used per transaction. Please note that if the amount of the voucher(s) that are being redeemed is more than the value of the transaction, the amount that has been overpaid on the vouchers cannot be refunded. Please see the help section for more information .
Once payment details have been given we will not charge your card until your order is despatched.
You are entitled to cancel a payment, or have such sums re-credited to your payment card where fraudulent use of your payment card has been made by another person not acting on your behalf.
For payment cards, all credit and debit cardholders and bank/building society account holders respectively are subject to validation checks and authorisation. If the issuer of your payment card or our third party validation service provider refuses to, or does not for any reason authorise or validate the payment, we will not be liable in these circumstances for any delay or non-delivery in respect of the products which you have ordered as a result.
By providing the relevant information to us, you specifically authorise us to transmit or to obtain information about you from third parties (including credit reference and fraud detection agencies) from time to time, including but not limited to your name, address, telephone number, debit or credit card details, cheque details or credit reports, to authenticate your identity and delivery address for the products, validate your payment card and obtain authorisations for your payments for products.

Credit card safety

The website uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology to encrypt your details as they are being transmitted to us. This prevents anyone from eavesdropping on your shopping session and keeps your card and personal details private.

Verified by Visa and MasterCard® SecureCode™

To give you even more confidence in shopping online with Waitrose, we've introduced Verified by Visa and MasterCard® SecureCode™. These services enhance your existing card account security against unauthorised use when you shop with us.
To use this service, you must first register with the bank or other organisation that issued your card. You can find out more about these services under 'Checkout' within the 'Help' section:

Once you've registered and created your own private password with your bank, you will be automatically prompted at checkout to provide this password each time you make a purchase online.

Errors and shortages

Waitrose may decline to fulfil any order, including bulk purchase of items on promotion, or included in a special offer.
In the event of there being errors or shortages, these should be brought to the attention of Waitrose Customer Sales and Support Centre (using the contact details above) no later than 7 (seven) days after the delivery.
Whilst we try to ensure that all prices on the website are accurate, errors may sometimes occur. In the event that a product you have ordered is listed at an incorrect price due to a typographical or administrative error, we will notify you of the correct price by telephone or e-mail before despatching your order, asking you to confirm you still wish to proceed with your order at the correct price. Once we have received your confirmation we will then despatch your order. If you do not confirm that you wish to proceed with the order within 7 (seven) days of the date of our price correction email, we will consider this as a withdrawal of your order and we will delete your payment details from our system.
As stated in the "Contract creation and order process" section above, a contract is formed between Waitrose and you when we despatch the goods you have ordered and not before. For the avoidance of doubt, a contract is not formed at the point in time that payment has been taken from you by Waitrose nor at the point in time that you receive an email from Waitrose acknowledging receipt of your order.

Alcoholic merchandise

The website sells products containing intoxicating liquor. For clarity, a drink containing alcohol is classified as intoxicating if it contains more than 0.5% of alcohol by volume (0.5% abv). For the avoidance of doubt, this may also apply to certain chocolates containing alcohol.
Pursuant to the Licensing Act 2003 it is an offence for any person under the age of 18 to buy, or attempt to buy, intoxicating liquor subject to a maximum fine of £1,000, or for any person over the age of 18 to buy intoxicating liquor on behalf of any person under the age of 18, subject to a maximum fine on conviction of £5,000.
Pursuant to the Licensing Scotland Act 2005 it is an offence for any person under the age of 18 to buy, or attempt to buy, intoxicating liquor subject to a maximum fine of £200, or for any person over the age of 18 to buy intoxicating liquor on behalf of any person under the age of 18, subject to a maximum fine on conviction of £5,000 and or 3 months imprisonment. Waitrose is committed to upholding both its legal and social obligations as a retailer of intoxicating liquor. To achieve this we have a number of control checks throughout the purchase and physical distribution process (e.g. requesting your date of birth when the order is placed and requirements for age identification on delivery where the recipient appears to be under the age of 18).
In accepting these Terms and Conditions you agree to provide Waitrose truthful and accurate information and act in accordance with the Licensing Act of 2003 or where applicable the Licensing Scotland Act 2005.

Returns

We've made returns as easy as possible for you. You may return or exchange products, subject to the "cancellation rights" section above, within 28 days of the despatch date. Products must be returned in their original packaging. If you wish to exercise your right of cancellation, you are obliged to retain possession of the goods and take reasonable care of them. To return products, please contact our Customer Service Team as described in the "Cancellation Rights" section above. Our Customer Service Team will arrange for a third party carrier to collect the products from you free of charge.

Refunds

On cancellation or return of products, we will make a refund to you of the full value of the payment made to us, excluding delivery charges, where applicable. A refund of the original delivery charge will be given (if applicable) in the instance of incorrect, damaged or faulty goods or if your order is cancelled within 7 (seven) working days from the day after which you have received the goods .
Where you paid for products by payment card, refunds will be made by re-crediting your payment card account from which the money was originally debited. Where you paid for products using gift vouchers, refunds will be made in gift vouchers of equivalent value. Where you part-paid for products using gift vouchers and the remainder by payment card, the amount charged to your payment card will be re-credited to your payment card account and the amount paid in gift vouchers refunded by gift vouchers of equivalent value.
All refunds will be made within 30 working days either:
- (where products have not yet been shipped to you) of our confirmation in writing to you that your order has been cancelled; or
- (where products have been shipped to you) of receipt of the returned products by us.

Damaged goods

Please check your delivery as soon as possible after it arrives. In the unlikely event your delivery has arrived damaged please contact Waitrose Customer Sales & Support Team on 0800 188 881 between 8am and 10pm Monday to Friday, 8am to 9pm Saturday and 9am to 7pm Sunday.

Liability for products delivered

As a consumer, you have legal rights in relation to goods that are faulty or not as described. Advice about your legal rights is available from your local Citizens' Advice Bureau or Trading Standards office. Nothing in these Terms of Sale will affect these legal rights.
Please note that the images of the products on our website are for illustrative purposes only. Although we have made every effort to display the colours accurately, we cannot guarantee that your computer's display of the colours accurately reflect the colour of the products. Your products may vary slightly from those images. Please refer to the product descriptions on the website which will set out full details of the product.
