By entering a Promotion you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions along with any other additional terms which relate to a Promotion (the “Specific Terms”). The Specific Terms might include entry instructions and any other specific details, rules or conditions relating to a particular Promotion, and might be published on our website, social media platforms, promotional correspondence or may be found in any other media which feature the Promotion.

Promotions
From time to time on www.urneeds.co.uk (the “Website”) we run the Promotions.
Only one Promotion can be used per order. A Promotion may not be used in combination with other Promotions except where specified.
Promotional items that you purchase (either free of charge or at a proportional rate) do not qualify nor count towards your basket value in order to redeem further free promotional items. We reserve the right to cancel any order(s) which we deem to have attempted to purchase promotional items in order to increase basket size to qualify for further Promotions. From time to time certain products may be excluded from current Promotions and any such exclusion will be notified to you through a notice on the Website or via email. Excluded products will not count towards any qualifying conditions for offers and will not benefit from any promotional discount.
Each Promotion will start immediately (i.e. as soon as it is first promoted), unless a later start date/time is specified in the Specific Terms. The closing date/time for a Promotion will be made clear in the Specific Terms. All times will be based on UK time.
All Promotions are subject to availability and while stocks last. We reserve the right to end the Promotion at any time.
Each Promotion will be open to individuals who are UK residents and aged 18 years old or over unless the promotional materials, announcements or the Specific Terms specify a different geographic region or a different minimum age.
To enter, follow the entry process for the relevant Promotion, which will usually be explained in the promotional materials, announcements or the Specific Terms.
We reserve the right to withdraw or amend any Promotion and/or these Terms and Conditions if we consider it necessary or appropriate to do so for reasons beyond our reasonable control or if there has been a broadcasting or printing error or any similar occurrence. Any changes will be posted on the Website.
These Terms and Conditions represent the entire agreement in relation to the Promotion and the Prize (if applicable). The invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability of the whole or any part of the Terms and Conditions does not affect the remainder of these Terms and Conditions, which will remain in full force and effect. These Terms and Conditions do not create any right or benefit enforceable by any third party.
Free Gifts
From time to time we may offer “free gift” Promotions on the Website, social media platforms or otherwise. In order to claim a free gift, you must quote the relevant gift code when placing your online or telephone order. When shopping online, please enter the gift code in the “Vouchers” box in the checkout area and follow the on-screen instructions.
Delivery or postal charges may be payable by you in respect of free gifts and this will be made clear to you on the Website or in the promotional correspondence where the free gift is advertised.
Where a free gift is offered subject to a minimum spend requirement, VAT and supplementary charges (such as delivery, gift wrap or postage and packing) may still be payable and shall not count towards a minimum spending requirement.
If you qualify for a free gift by satisfying a minimum spend threshold and you decide to return some of the goods purchased (and not the free gift) and therefore reducing your order value below the minimum spend threshold, we reserve the right to charge full retail price for the free gift. This amount may be deducted from any refund due back to you for the returned items.
Similarly, where a free gift is offered subject to the purchase of a specified item, if you decide to return the specified item, you will need to return the free gift to receive a credit or refund otherwise we reserve the right to charge full retail price for the free gift and deduct this amount from any refund due back to you.
Gifts that are promoted within our catalogues are only available to the recipient of that catalogue and validation may be required before your order can be processed.
Gifts are limited to one per customer unless otherwise stated. Only one gift can be claimed with each order and the gift coupons cannot be used in conjunction with any other special offers. We reserve the right to substitute with a product of equal or greater value in the event that stock of a selected gift item becomes unavailable.
Where possible free gifts earned will be dispatched with your order. If that is not possible we aim to deliver your free gift within 28 working days of you placing your order.
Vouchers
From time to time we may send you by email or post web vouchers or paper vouchers. These are either codes which you may input on our website to qualify for certain Promotions or are paper vouchers redeemable in our URNEEDS retail stores. Vouchers are subject to these Terms and Conditions and any terms and conditions notified to you at the time of issuance of the voucher.
A web voucher is redeemed by entering its code at the appropriate point in the purchase process on the Website.
A hard-copy voucher is redeemed by giving it to a URNEEDS store colleague at the point of purchase.
We reserve the right to withdraw or cancel a voucher for any reason at any time.
A voucher cannot be exchanged for cash, is non-transferable and non-exchangeable.
Unless expressly stated at the time of issue, each voucher will be valid for use by the recipient of the voucher and by such recipient only once and may not be used in conjunction with any other Promotion.
In accordance with guidelines from HM Revenue and Customs, a voucher is treated as cash, therefore VAT is due on the full value of an order and you will be required to pay VAT on the full value of the order, unless otherwise stated in any terms accompanying the voucher.
From time to time certain products may be excluded from voucher offers and any such exclusion will be notified to you along with the voucher, through the Website, social media platforms, via email or in the Specific Terms. Excluded goods will not count towards any qualifying conditions for offers and will not benefit from any promotional discount.
A voucher shall not be copied, reproduced, distributed, or published directly or indirectly in any form or by any means for use by an entity other than the original recipient, without our prior written permission.
Vouchers distributed or circulated without the written approval of URNEEDS, for example on an Internet message board or on a “bargains” website, are not valid for use and may be refused or cancelled.
If we reasonably believe that any voucher is being used unlawfully or illegally we may reject or cancel any voucher and you agree that you will have no claim against us in respect of any rejection or cancellation. We reserve the right to take any further action it deems appropriate in such instances.
If we refuse a voucher submitted as part of an order, for any reason, we will inform you before the order is dispatched to advise of the correct cost of the order and give you the opportunity to cancel the order.
Discounts
We mark already discounted products with a “Reduced Price” message next to the code of a product. Unless otherwise stated, products which display the message are not eligible for further discounts.
Where an online offer states that a discount is given on a purchase up to a stated percentage, the discount given will only be applicable to qualifying products and the percentage of discount given will vary between qualifying products.
Supplementary charges such as delivery or postage and packing shall not be discounted unless specifically stated in the Promotion description.
Competitions and Prize Draws
The opening and the closing date and time of each competition or prize draw will be stated on the Website, on our social media platform, in the promotional correspondence or in the Specific Terms. The Promotion will only be open for that term.
