Our full terms and conditions
TERMS AND CONDITIONS - WEBSITE
These Terms and Conditions and your use of our website are governed by English law and you agree to submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the English court. This does not affect your non-excludable statutory rights.
This website and our Terms and Conditions have been designed for use within the United Kingdom and under UK law.
Whilst we are happy to consider requests for products and enquiries from outside the United Kingdom, we give no warranty, express or implied, that the use of this website or the placing of any order through this website from outside the UK complies with any applicable non-UK laws or regulations. Accordingly, any products or promotions not permitted under your local law are not offered to you.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS - EMAIL CORRESPONDENCE
Any emails sent, their contents and any attachments to it are private and confidential. Any unauthorised disclosure, use or dissemination of the whole or part of the message (without our prior written consent) is prohibited. If you are not the intended recipient, please notify us immediately. Neither we nor the sender accepts any responsibility for viruses and it is your responsibility to scan attachments (if any).
The content of any emails do not necessarily reflect our views or those of our officers and we take no responsibility for the views of the author. Emails sent and received may be read by people other than the intended recipient and may be monitored to ensure efficient operation of our email systems. Incoming and outgoing telephone calls to our offices may be monitored or recorded for training and quality control purposes and for confirming orders and information.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS – GIFT CARDS
These terms & conditions refer to Gift Cards and e-Cards (known collectively as "Gift Card/s"). The terms and conditions do not affect your statutory rights.
Gift Cards cannot be exchanged or redeemed for cash, and refunds will not be given for the purchase of a Gift Card. Refunds of items purchased with a Gift Card are subject to our Returns Policy, available here. This does not affect your statutory rights.
Gift Cards are valid for 12 months from the date of purchase.
Any remaining balance left on the Gift Card after the expiry of the validity period will be cancelled and the Gift Card will become invalid and no longer available for use.
Further information regarding our Gift Cards can be found here.
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.

- protecting our servers by both hardware and software firewalls;
- locating our data processing storage facilities in secure locations;

YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS
The GDPR gives you the following rights in respect of personal data we hold about you:
|
The right to be informed |
You have a right to know about our personal data protection and data processing activities, details of which are contained in this notice. |
|
The right of access |
You can make what is known as a Subject Access Request ("SAR") to request information about the personal data we hold about you (free of charge, save for reasonable expenses for repeat requests). If you wish to make a SAR please contact us as described below. |
|
The right to correction |
Please inform us if the information we hold about you is incomplete or inaccurate in any way and we will update our records as soon as possible, but in any event within one month. |
|
The right to erasure (the 'right to be forgotten') |
Please notify us if you no longer wish us to hold personal data about you (although in practice it is not possible to provide our services without holding your personal data). Unless we have reasonable grounds to refuse the erasure, on receipt of such a request we will securely delete the personal data in question within one month. The data may continue to exist in a certain backup, but we will take steps to ensure that it will not be accessible. |
|
The right to restrict processing |
You can request that we no longer process your personal data in certain ways, whilst not requiring us to delete the same data. |
|
The right to data portability |
You have right to receive copies of personal data we hold about you in a commonly used and easily storable format (please let us know a format which suits you). You may also request that we transfer your personal data directly to third party (where technically possible). |
|
The right to object |
Unless we have overriding legitimate grounds for such processing, you may object to us using your personal data if you feel your fundamental rights and freedoms are impacted. You may also object if we use your personal data for direct marketing purposes (including profiling) or for research or statistical purposes. Please notify your objection to us and we will gladly cease such processing unless we have overriding legitimate grounds. |
|
Rights with respect to automated decision-making and profiling |
You have a right not to be subject to automated decision-making (including profiling) when those decisions have a legal (or similarly significant effect) on you. You are not entitled to this right when the automated processing is necessary for us to perform our obligations under a contract with you, it is permitted by law, or if you have given your explicit consent. |
|
Right to withdraw consent |
If we are relying on your consent as the basis on which we are processing your personal data, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. Even if you have not expressly given your consent to our processing, you also have the right to object (see above). |
All SARs and other requests or notifications in respect of your above rights must be sent to us in writing to The Data Protection Manager, Selective Marketplace Limited, 2 Rothley Lodge, Loughborough Rd, Leicester, LE7 7NL or by email at dataprotectionmanager@selective.co.uk.
We will endeavour to comply with such requests as soon as possible but in any event we will comply within one month of receipt (unless a longer period of time to respond is reasonable by virtue of the complexity or number of your requests).
DATA BREACHES
If personal data we hold about you is subject to a breach or unauthorised disclosure or access, we will report this to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).
If a breach is likely to result in a risk to your data rights and freedoms, we will notify you as soon as possible.
