Terms and Conditions of Sale for products offered for sale through the Heathrow Reserve & Collect website

The below further terms and conditions apply when a customer places an order through the Heathrow Reserve & Collect Website:

A. Terms of sale

 A.1 The collection points are located in the Airport after aviation security, which means that you must have a valid boarding card for a departing flight (or have other appropriate authority to access the airside collection points at the Airport) to be able to collect your order.

A.2 Your contract for the sale of the goods which you have purchased from the Reserve & Collect Website is with us and not with Heathrow.  Heathrow is therefore not responsible for performance under our sale of goods contract.

A.3 When you place an order for goods from more than one retailer on the Reserve & Collect Website, you will have a separate contract with each such retailer. 

A.4 Your use of the Heathrow Reserve & Collect Website is subject to the Heathrow Reserve & Collect Website's terms of use issued by Heathrow from time to time, which are separate to these terms of sale.  If there is any conflict between the terms of use for the Heathrow Reserve & Collect Website and these terms of sale, the terms of use for the Heathrow Reserve & Collect Website shall prevail and apply.

A.5 Although you may receive an order acknowledgement email from Heathrow (on our behalf) further to making an order, this will not mean that your order has been accepted.  You will receive a separate email which will clearly state when your order has been accepted by us (and any other retailers when you place an order for goods from more than one retailer on the Heathrow Reserve & Collect Website).

A.6 The contract for sale of goods between you and us will come into existence when Heathrow (on our behalf) sends you an email confirming that we have accepted your order (in full or in part), at which point payment will be taken from you.

A.7 You may receive an order cancellation email from Heathrow (on our behalf) if you place an order for goods from us and more than one other retailer on the Reserve & Collect Website, and all of the retailers which are relevant to the order (including us) are unable to fulfil your order (due to product availability or otherwise).

A.8 When your order is placed, we will place a pre-authorisation on your payment card which puts funds on hold for the total value of your order.  We will not take payment from you until we have confirmed that your order can be fulfilled.  If your order is cancelled or cancelled in part, we will release the hold on your payment card for the applicable amount.

A.9 Specific terms apply to each product, including warranties and conditions of use and such terms are available here: https://candlesandoud.com/policies/terms-of-service or such alternative location as we shall provide to you.

 

B. Merchandise descriptions

    B.1 Please note that the price of any product listed on the Heathrow Reserve & Collect Website may be different to the price of the same product that is offered for sale in our retail outlets or offerings outside of the Airport including in other airports.

    B.2 Where products listed on the Heathrow Reserve & Collect Website are labelled as having a 'Heathrow Price', this means that the products are being sold on the Heathrow Reserve & Collect Website at a discounted price compared to the price that the products are being offered for sale at through retail outlets or offerings outside of the Airport although such prices may align with the price of the same product(s) which are offered for sale in other airports.

    B.3 If any of our products listed on the Heathrow Reserve & Collect Website are labelled as 'Travel Exclusive Merchandise', this means that those products are not available to buy in our UK non-airport stores.  

    If any of our products listed on the Heathrow Reserve & Collect Website are labelled as 'Heathrow Exclusive Merchandise', this means that those products are only available to buy on the Heathrow Reserve & Collect Website.

    B.4 If any of our products listed on the Heathrow Reserve & Collect Website are identified as being part of a promotional offer, this means that those products are (i) subject to the terms of a promotional offer, which are made available at www.candlesandoud.com, and (ii) available to buy on the Heathrow Reserve & Collect Website at a further discount to the 'Heathrow Price'. 

     

    C. Payment, delivery, performance and timing

      C.1 Where you make a purchase on the Heathrow Reserve & Collect Website and the purchase is accepted (this will be confirmed by an email sent by Heathrow on our behalf), you will be asked to collect your purchased item(s) from the Heathrow operated collection point located in your departure terminal.  The location of the collection point will be confirmed by Heathrow and specified in the confirmation email (sent to you by Heathrow on our behalf) once your order has been accepted.  

      The Heathrow operated collection point will be open during the Airport's operational hours on your departure date.  The Airport's operational hours mean the period commencing an hour before the first scheduled departing flight and ending an hour prior to the last scheduled departing flight in the relevant terminal in which the relevant collection point is located).

      C.2 If you fail to collect your order, we will not forward or deliver your items to you.  Your order will be held by Heathrow for up to 48 hours from your collection time.  Heathrow may offer where practicable for you to cancel your order or collect your order either (i) at a different time from the same or another collection point, or (ii) through the 'Collect on Return' service from a 'Collection on Return' desk.  You can contact the Heathrow Reserve and Collect Website services team if you are unable to collect your purchase on shopping.services@heathrow.com.  

      If you do not collect your order on your departure date and you do not inform Heathrow that you want to make alternative arrangements to collect your order (as specified above), your order will be cancelled and you will be refunded for any payments you have made.

      C.3 We may decline any orders (or part of an order) as relevant, if we no longer have a right to sell the items in your order on the Heathrow Reserve & Collect Website (for any reason). 

      C.4 Whilst you pay us for goods, the Heathrow Reserve & Collect Website is managed by Heathrow and as such your bank account statement in relation to your payment for the goods will refer to ‘Heathrow.com’.
