The content of the Website is protected by copyright, trademarks, database and other intellectual property rights. You may retrieve and display the content of the Website on a computer screen or portable tablet or device, store such content in electronic form on disk (but not any server or other storage device connected to a network) or print one copy of such content for your own personal, non-commercial use, provided you keep intact all and any copyright and proprietary notices.

You may not otherwise reproduce, modify, copy or distribute or use for commercial purposes any of the materials or content on the Website without written permission from us.

No licence is granted to you in these Terms and Conditions to use any of our trademarks or of our affiliated companies including, without limitation, the names Mum and You and associated trademarks.

Privacy and Copyright Protection

Our Privacy Policy explains how we treat your personal data and protect your privacy when you use our services. By using our services, you agree that we can use such data in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

Your content in our services

Our registration process and some of our services allow you to upload and submit content and data. You retain ownership of any intellectual property rights that you hold in that content.

When you upload or submit content or data to or through our services, you give us (and those we work with) a worldwide licence to use, host, store, reproduce, modify, create derivative works (such as those resulting from analyses, correlations, translations, adaptations or other changes that we may make so that your content works better with our services), communicate, publish, publicly perform, publicly display and distribute such content. The rights that you grant in this licence are for the limited purpose of operating, promoting and improving our services, and to develop new ones. This licence continues even if you stop using our services. Some services may offer you ways to access and remove content that has been provided to that service.

Our systems analyse your data and content (including data received from third party applications you have given us permission to receive it from) to provide you with personally relevant products, services and features. This analysis occurs as the content is sent, received and when it is stored.

Products

The description and specification of products on the Website is only approximate and we reserve the right to make changes which do not materially affect the quality or performance of those products. Any images of the products on the Website are for illustrative purposes only. Your products may vary slightly from those images.

We may correct any error appearing on the Website or withdraw any products from sale without incurring liability. Price and availability is also subject to change without notice.

No reliance on information

The content on our Website is provided for general information only. It is not intended to amount to advice on which you should rely. You must obtain professional or specialist advice before taking, or refraining from, any action on the basis of the content on our Website.

Although we make reasonable efforts to update the information on our Website, we make no representations, warranties or guarantees, whether express or implied, that the content on our Website is accurate, complete or up-to-date.

Order Acceptance

You can make orders as part of a rolling agreement with us where we agree to provide you with the products on a periodic basis or you can place one off orders on the Website. Your contract with us will terminate following: (i) termination of your account (by you or us) if you order products on a periodic basis, or (ii) delivery of your order if you place a one off order.

Our acceptance of an order takes place when you receive email confirmation from us that we have accepted your order, at which point the purchase contract will be made and you will be charged for your order.

If we are unable to accept your order, we will inform you of this and will not charge you for the products. This might be because the products are out of stock, because of unexpected limits on our resources which we could not reasonably plan for or because we have identified an error in the price or description of the product.

All offers are subject to availability and while stocks last.

Deliveries

The costs of delivery will be as displayed to you on the Website.

We deliver to all UK postcodes (excluding NI, CI and IOM).

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. 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 cancel the order and receive a refund for any products you have paid for but not received.

Delivery is deemed to have taken place once the products have been delivered to your specified address or in accordance with your instructions or you have signed for the products.

Returns

We will refund or exchange any product returned as long as we are notified by the customer within 14 days of delivery date. Goods must be returned unused and in original packaging. Proof of purchase is required and only applicable for items sold on our website: https://mumandyou.com. If a product is unreasonably handled, and therefore damaged, we reserve the right to deduct a reasonable value from the refund amount. Please note any postage charges incurred when returning item(s) will not be refunded.

Returns should be sent to: Exxollon Limited, Units 4-5, South Leeds Trade Centre, 18 Belle Isle Road, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS10 2DL

Non Delivery and shortages

You are requested to examine all products delivered upon arrival and to advise us, as soon as possible after delivery, of any apparent damage, shortage or irregularity. Claims for incomplete, damaged or defective products must be made to us, in writing, to our Customer Support promptly after the date of delivery. Please try to report all lost or undelivered boxes online within 7 days of the expected day of delivery so that we can remedy the issue promptly.

We may have to suspend the supply of any products to:

1. (a) deal with technical problems or make minor technical changes;
2. (b) update the products to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements;
3. (c) make changes to the products as requested by you or notified by us to you.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, we may also modify these Mobile Terms at any time and your continued use of the Service following the effective date of any such changes shall constitute your acceptance of such changes.

By consenting to Mum & You’s SMS/text messaging service, you agree to receive recurring SMS/text messages from and on behalf of Mum & You through your wireless provider to the mobile number you provided, even if your mobile number is registered on a Do Not Call list.

Service-related messages may include updates, alerts, and information (e.g., order updates, account alerts, etc.). Promotional messages may include promotions, specials, and other marketing offers (e.g., basket reminders).

You understand that you do not have to sign up for this program in order to make any purchases, and your consent is not a condition of any purchase with Mum & You. Your participation in this program is completely voluntary.

We do not charge for the Service, but you are responsible for all charges and fees associated with text messaging imposed by your wireless provider. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Check your mobile plan and contact your wireless provider for details. You are solely responsible for all charges related to SMS/text messages, including charges from your wireless provider.

1. (a) at any time before the cut off times relevant to your delivery day by emailing Customer Support; or

4. (d) if you have just changed your mind about the products you may be able to cancel your order and get a refund if you are within a 14 day cooling-off period from the date of delivery of the products, but this may (i) be subject to reasonable deductions to reflect costs incurred by Q River as permitted under your statutory rights; and (ii) will not apply once you have unsealed the products following their delivery to you. Please see Returns information above.

Cancellation of a subscription must be activated by contacting support@mumandyou.com

We reserve the right to terminate or restrict your use of our service, for any or no reason whatsoever. One reason that we may do so is if we believe that you are in breach of any obligation under these Terms and Conditions. If we terminate your use of our service as a result of a breach of any obligation under these Terms and Conditions, such termination would be immediate and may be without notice.

Promotion Terms and Conditions

All time sensitive promotions are according to GMT timing only.

Using Promotional or Discount Codes

A promotional or discount code (together “Codes”) is redeemed by entering its Code as required by the online process.

Your use of Codes indicates your agreement to be bound by these Promotion Terms and Conditions.

We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, not to accept any Code if it is being used in conjunction with any other Code or any other offer/discount listed on the Website.

We reserve the right to withdraw, vary or cancel a Code for any reason at any time without notice.

Customer Promotion Limits

Any promotional feature or Code will only be limited to one per customer unless otherwise stated.

Distribution of Promotional Codes

Codes are, and remain at all times, our property.

The right to use Codes is personal to the original recipient and may not be transferred. Codes may 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, or stored in a data retrieval system, without our prior written consent.

Where the redemption of a Code is subject to a minimum spending requirement, the redemption is only permitted in respect of the purchase of qualifying products which will be communicated to you at the time of issue of the Code. Excluded products and supplementary charges, such as delivery, gift wrap or postage & packing, shall not count towards a minimum spending requirement.

Where an online offer states that a percentage discount will be given on a purchase, the cost of the qualifying purchases will be reduced by the stated discount percentage.

Supplementary charges such as delivery or postage & packing shall not be discounted unless specifically stated in the offer description.

Security and Fraud

If you redeem, attempt to redeem or encourage the redemption of promotional codes to obtain discounts to which you or a third party are not entitled you may be committing a civil or criminal offence.

If we reasonably believe that any Code is being used unlawfully or illegally we may reject or cancel any Code 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 we deem appropriate in such instances.

If we refuse a Code 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.

Limitation of liability with respect to promotions

We shall not be liable to any customer or household for any financial loss arising out of the refusal, cancellation or withdrawal of any Code or any failure or inability of a customer or household to use a Code for any reason.

Refunds on promotional offers

Refunds for products purchased under a Code will be based on the terms of the promotional price. Your statutory rights are not affected.

Payments

The price of products is as quoted on the Website from time to time. Prices at checkout will include VAT and delivery charges.

We reserve the right to change the fees for any services at any time. We agree to notify you in advance of any change in fees. Please note that you can cancel at any time.

We take payments by continuous payment authority. You will be charged as follows:

1. Payments for products or services delivered under regular subscriptions will be charged 3 business days prior to the dispatch of the products.
2. Payments for one-off or ad-hoc products or services will be charged 3 business days prior to the despatch of the products.

 

If your payment details change, your card provider may provide us with updated card details. We may use these new details for your future orders in order to help prevent any interruption to the service. If you would prefer to opt out from this service, please contact Customer Support as detailed below.

You agree not to hold us responsible for banking charges incurred due to payments on your account.

Upon registering, reactivating your account, restarting regular deliveries, ordering one off boxes or changing card details, a £1 payment may be taken from your card in order to authorise it and prevent fraud. This payment will be immediately voided, but some banks may temporarily reflect these against your account balance.

Please ensure that the expiry date of your payment card is after the anticipated dispatch date of your order. Payment is taken at the point of dispatch for products and in the event that the payment card has expired we will be unable to take payment and fulfil your order.
