Entire agreement
These terms and conditions and other notices elsewhere on the Trinity Gift Shop website (https://www.trinitygiftshop.trin.cam.ac.uk) contain the whole agreement between us and you relating to the supply of products. No other terms or conditions will form part of the Contract, unless agreed by us in writing and signed by an authorised Trinity College employee.Information about us

The site is solely for the promotion of our products in the UK. Our Registered Charity Number is 1137604 and our Value Added Tax number is 214 2462 02. If you have any questions, please contact us at on the address above or, 01223 761527 or trinitygifts@trin.cam.ac.uk. If we have to contact you, we will do so by telephone or by writing to you at the email address or postal address you provided to us in your order.Ordering products
After placing an order, you will receive an email from us acknowledging that we have safely received it. This does not mean that your order has been accepted. All orders are subject to acceptance by us. If your order has been accepted, we will send an email to confirm dispatch of your order.The contract between us (the “Contract”) will only be made when we send you the email to confirm dispatch. Only those products listed in the email as being dispatched will be included in the Contract. If we are unable to accept your order, we will inform you of this by e-mail and will not charge you for the product. This might be because the product is out of stock, because of unexpected limits on our resources which we could not reasonably plan for, because we have identified an error in the price or description of the product or because we are unable to meet a delivery deadline you have specified.
Our Products
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 a device’s display of the colours accurately reflects the colour of the products. Your product may vary slightly from those images. The packaging of the product may vary from that shown in images on our website.Your rights to make changes
You are able to make changes to your order up to the point at which you click on the button to place your order on the Proceed to Checkout section of the purchasing process. If you wish to make a change to the product you have ordered after placing your order, please contact us. We will let you know if the change is possible. If it is possible, we will let you know about any changes to the price of the product, the timing of supply or anything else which would be necessary as a result of your requested change and ask you to confirm whether you wish to go ahead with the change. If we cannot make the change or the consequences of making the change are unacceptable to you, you may want to end the contract (see the “Your rights to end the contract” section of these terms and conditions).Delivery
Currently, we deliver Trinity Gift Shop items to addresses within the United Kingdom only.

If our supply of the products is delayed by an event outside our control, then we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and we will take steps to minimise the effect of the delay. Provided we do this we will not be liable for delays caused by the event, but if there is a risk of substantial delay you may contact us to end the contract and receive a refund for any products you have paid for but not received.
The products will be at your risk at the time that they enter into your possession, or a person identified by you that is authorised to take possession of the products. Ownership of the products will only pass to you at the time of delivery.
Your rights to end the contract

If you are ending a contract for a reason set out at (a) to (c) below the contract will end immediately and we will refund you in full for any products which have not been provided and you may also be entitled to compensation. The reasons are:- we have told you about an error in the price or description of the product you have ordered and you do not wish to proceed;
- there is a risk that supply of the products may be significantly delayed because of events outside our control; or
- you have a legal right to end the contract because of something we have done wrong.
Exercising your right to change your mind (Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013)
If you are a consumer, you have the legal right to cancel. A consumer is any natural person who carries out transactions not for commercial or self-employment purposes.You have the legal right to cancel your order within 14 days, without giving a reason. The cancellation period of 14 days starts with the day you or a person of your choice, who is not the deliverer, have/has received the goods.
This legal right to cancel does not apply to products which are made to your specifications or personalized.
Ending the Contract if there is a problem with the product
If you have any questions or complaints about the product, please contact us.
We are under a legal duty to supply products that are in conformity with this contract. The Consumer Rights Act 2015 says goods must be as described, fit for purpose and of satisfactory quality. During the expected lifespan of your product your legal rights entitle you to the following:
- Up to 30 days: if your goods are faulty, then you can get an immediate refund.
- Up to six months: if your goods can’t be repaired or replaced, then you’re entitled to a full refund, in most cases.
- Up to six years: if your goods do not last a reasonable length of time you may be entitled to some money back.
Nothing in these terms will affect your legal rights.
If you wish to exercise your legal rights to reject defective products you must post them back to us. We will refund you the costs of postage.
How to end the contract with us

Please provide your name, home address, details of the order and, where available, your phone number and email address. Alternatively, you may write to us by post to Alumni Relations and Development Office, Trinity College, Trinity Street, Cambridge, CB2 1TQ, including details of what you bought, when you ordered or received it and your name and address.If you end the contract for any reason after products have been dispatched to you or you have received them, you must return them to us.

If you are exercising your legal right to change your mind you must send off the goods within 14 days of telling us you wish to end the contract.
We will pay the costs of return if the products are faulty or misdescribed or if you are ending the contract because we have told you of an upcoming change to the product or these terms, an error in pricing or description, a delay in delivery due to events outside our control or because you have a legal right to do so as a result of something we have done wrong.
In all other circumstances (including where you are exercising your right to change your mind) you must pay the costs of return. We recommend that you use a postal or courier service that insures you for the value of the products you are returning and you should keep proof of postage
We will refund you the price you paid for the products including delivery costs, within 14 days starting with the day we received your cancellation notice. In order to refund your money, we will use the same transaction card that you chose in order to pay, unless we specifically agreed on an alternative refund method. We won’t charge an extra fee for the refund under any circumstances. We can deny the refund until we have either received the products or proof that you have sent them.
If you want to return or exchange your products, you must take reasonable care of them and they should be returned to us in their original condition, which means that:
- You can open the packaging to look at and, when applicable, try on the products but all products must be unused and undamaged.
- The original packaging should be retained and returned.
Jewellery must be returned in perfect condition, unworn, and in the original packaging within 30 days. Due to health and safety legislation, earrings cannot be exchanged or returned. This does not affect your statutory and legal rights.
If you are exercising your right to change your mind, the maximum refund for delivery costs will be the costs of delivery by the least expensive delivery method we offer. For example, if we offer delivery of a product within 3-5 days at one cost but you choose to have the product delivered within 24 hours at a higher cost, then we will only refund what you would have paid for the cheaper delivery option.
Prices
The cost of foreign products and services may fluctuate. All prices advertised are subject to such changes.Please be aware that the prices displayed on our site include Value Added Tax where applicable but exclude delivery costs, which will be added to the total amount due.

We take all reasonable care to ensure that the price of the product advised to you is correct. However, if we discover there is a pricing error, we will normally, at our discretion, either:
- contact you and give you the option of reconfirming your order at the correct price or cancelling it; or
- reject your order and notify you of the rejection.
