RIGHT TO CANCEL UNDER THE CONSUMER REGULATIONS

We have explained below how you can exercise your right under the Consumer Regulations to cancel your contract with us. Please note that in many cases our own returns policy may be applicable or may be more suitable for your requirements. You have a right to cancel this contract within 14 days without giving any reason. The cancellation period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and dictated by you acquires, physical possession of the goods.

To exercise the right to cancel, you must inform us, Selective Marketplace Limited trading as POETRY of 2 Rothley Lodge, Loughborough Rd, Leicester, LE7 7NL, of your decision to cancel this contract by a clear statement (e.g. a letter sent by post or email). You may use the cancellation form supplied here but it is not compulsory. To meet the cancellation deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right to cancel before the cancellation period has expired.

EFFECTS OF CANCELLATION

If you cancel this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for supplementary costs arising if you choose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us). We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you. We will make the reimbursement without undue delay and not later than 14 days after the day we receive back from you any goods supplied, or (if earlier), 14 days after the day you provide evidence that you have returned the goods, or (if there were no goods supplied), 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to cancel this contract.

We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction and you will not incur any fees as a result of the reimbursement. We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest. You shall send back the goods without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your cancellation of this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days expires. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

SECURE PAYMENT

We accept online payment in a secure environment using Secure Socket Layering technology (SSL) by credit card, or debit card. This means that on any page where you enter your personal information such as credit card details, the information sent to us is encrypted to safeguard your details. Encryption prevents other internet users from accessing this information. You can check that you are shopping in a secure environment by looking for either a locked padlock icon or an image of a key in the grey bar at the bottom of your screen.

As well as being convenient, shopping over the internet is a safe and secure way to shop. To help keep it safe we suggest you always close down your internet browser when you have finished shopping online, especially if you use a shared PC.

It's also good practise to keep your password as unique as possible and not to choose obvious passwords, such as your name, partner's name, or other personal information which could be easily obtained by a third party. Never reveal your password to others and avoid always using the same password for numerous sites.

For security and to avoid the risk of fraud, we are no longer accepting cheques and order forms sent to us via the post. If we receive a posted order form we will return it without processing the order or cashing the cheque.

CONFORMITY OF GOODS

We take every care to ensure that the description and specification of our products are correct. However, specifications and descriptions of products on this website are not intended to be binding and are intended only to give a general description of the products.

Furthermore, while the colour reproduction of the products is a close representation, we cannot accept any responsibility for any variation in colour caused by the browser software or computer system used by you.

What we can guarantee is the colour as depicted in the catalogue and as a result we recommend the use of the colours featured in the catalogue as the most accurate guide.

We remind you that we are under a legal duty to supply goods which are in conformity with our contract with you.

COPYRIGHT AND TRADEMARK

The copying, modification, distribution, reproduction, or incorporation into any other work of part or all the material available on this website in any form is prohibited without permission.

COMPANY REGISTRATION

Selective Marketplace, trading as POETRY and Wrap London

As well as POETRY , we have a second brand Wrap London. The design and marketing team for both brands is effectively one team of about fourteen people. There are some within that team that are focused on one brand or the other, but we sit in an open-plan space, working together and sharing ideas. As a result the two brands have many shared values: a love of beautiful, predominantly natural fibres is at the core of both; the look for both brands is relaxed and informal; our corporate values of respect and honesty and our long-term focus reflected in both brands.

If you find POETRY appeals to you, there is a good chance you will also find things you like from Wrap London so we will send you a catalogue once you order from POETRY. If you would like to see the Wrap London collection now, click here to visit the website where you can also sign up for our email newsletters.

HOW WE PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA

Please see the table below, which sets out the manner in which we will process the different types of personal data we hold:

DATA RETENTION

For any category of personal data not specifically defined in this notice, and unless otherwise specified by applicable law, the required retention period for any personal data will be deemed to be 7 years from the date of receipt by us of that data.

The retention periods stated in this notice can be prolonged or shortened as may be required (for example, in the event that legal proceedings apply to the data or if there is an on-going investigation into the data).

We review the personal data (and the categories of personal data) we are holding on a regular basis to ensure the data we are holding is still relevant to our business and is accurate. If we discover that certain data we are holding is no longer necessary or accurate, we will take reasonable steps to correct or delete this data as may be required.

If you wish to request that data we hold about you is amended or deleted, please refer to 'Your Privacy Rights' below.

SHARING YOUR INFORMATION

We do not disclose any personal data you provide to any third parties other than as follows:

• If you place an order personal information relevant to your delivery will be provided to our shipping partner;
• We may host personal data with third party hosting partners;
• Certain third party suppliers including technical support providers may have access to personal data;
• where we carry out research to gain an insight into the use of our services, the results of this research (but not your personal data itself) may be transferred to interested third parties;
• if we are under a duty to disclose or share your personal data in order to comply with any legal obligation (for example, if required to do so by a court order or for the purposes of prevention of fraud or other crime);
• in order to enforce any terms and conditions or agreements for our services that may apply;
• we may transfer your personal information to a third party as part of a sale of some or all of our business and assets to any third party or as part of any business restructuring or reorganisation, but we will take steps with the aim of ensuring that your privacy rights continue to be protected;
• to protect our rights, property and safety, or the rights, property and safety of our users or any other third parties. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organisations for the purposes of fraud protection and credit risk reduction.
• When you first ordered from POETRY you were asked if you were happy to receive mailings and offers from third party companies. Third party companies are largely other mail order fashion businesses whose products we thought might interest you but also may include companies that sell homewares or garden furniture. Occasionally we may also make our mailing list available to established charities. We reach these other companies and charities directly or via a data co-operative. A data co-operative collects data and customer information across a range of different categories from a pool of UK retailers. Who then analyses that information to help the participating companies understand customers' wider buying patterns. This in turn enables companies to tailor their communications, sending people suitable offers based on what they like to buy.

See a list of the data co-operatives we participate in below:

• From time to time, your information may be stored in devices which are used by our staff outside of the UK or EEA (but staff will be subject to our cyber-security policies).

If we transfer your information outside of the UK or EEA, and the third country or international organisation in question has not been deemed by the EU Commission or Secretary of State (as the case may be) to have adequate data protection laws, we will provide appropriate safeguards and we will be responsible for ensuring your privacy rights continue to be protected as outlined in this notice.
