Due to the current environmental and economic factors regarding the impact of the COVID-19 disease currently affecting most of the world, iPPY must make clear that any delays outside of our control due to this are not eligible for a refund. Along with our suppliers and couriers, we are endeavouring to (wherever possible) keep to agreed delivery timescales and to continue to deliver however due to the unprecedented impact of COVID-19, some additional delays may be unavoidable. This could be stock being imported and due into our or our suppliers warehouses’ or end point delivery to our customers. If this does happen, wherever reasonably possible, iPPY will attempt to notify our customers as early as possible.
If the courier/iPPY’s supplier network does break down/close or temporarily pause all deliveries and iPPY are unable to deliver your item to you at this current time as a result of the Coronavirus epidemic, iPPY will pause your payment plan until such time where it is possible to deliver your item. iPPY will then take a regular payment to restart your payment plan before delivering the item to yourself.
These are unprecedented times and therefore iPPY is taking unprecedented steps in order to help our customers as much as possible.

If the second attempt to charge the card fails then the bank card could be charged daily until the payment goes through which might result in one or more payments being debited from the bank card to take account of the arrears on the account. We will always endeavour to notify our customer of a declined payment through email/text/call on the contact details initially provided.

Items that have not been delivered and no automatic payments have been made will result in the delivery date being extended by at least (but not limited to) an additional week, fortnight, 4 weeks or month depending on the payment frequency selected as for any order we require at least one recent payment to have gone through automatically.

All payments that are due prior to delivery must be up to date or the item will not be delivered. If no automatic payments are made, or can be made, delivery will be delayed until the payment plan has been completed. If the card details are changed prior to delivery, iPPY do retain the right to delay delivery as part of our fraud prevention measures.

Please note – We are unable to release any goods for delivery if your account is in arrears with any payments. Any missed or partial payments will need to be caught up before any delivery can be made. This does mean that the delivery date as per your purchase agreement can be changed if any payments have not been caught up on.

Delivery

It is strongly recommended that all customers check their delivery item for damage. Once the item has been signed and the item has been left with the customer there can not be any claim for damage brought forward. Any form of damage must be brought to our attention at the point of delivery only. iPPY will only deliver an item if the person whom placed the order is present at the property.

Items are delivered the week after X amount working days from the date of the first repayment. The amount of working days does depend on the items value. The delivery date will be confirmed before the delivery. The “repayment” is the payment made after the initial manual deposit payment made over the telephone, the repayment will be set to come out of your account automatically. iiPPY Limited t/a iPPY do charge a delivery fee on all items offered. The amount in which we charge for the delivery will vary depending on the type, size and weight of the item. You will be advised on the costs of the delivery prior to placing your order and cost can be found on our website. In some very rare instances outside of our control, your specified delivery date could change. By Purchasing through iPPY, you accept that this is a possibility.

Cooling Off Period

Any customer has 7 days from when the original order is placed to cancel the order and receive a full refund of any monies paid so far. After 7 days and between 14 days, you can cancel the order and receive a refund however it will be minus the delivery fee. The delivery fee is based on having the item collected and delivered into the depot at iPPY and not necessarily based on delivering the item to the customers property. After 14 days from when the order is placed, if you do decide to cancel you will not receive any refund. If you change your order, these terms will apply from when the original order is placed.

Item Out of Stock/Discontinued

If in the very rare instance where the original item ordered is out of stock or has been discontinued, iPPY will offer a suitable alternative as deemed so by iPPY. This may be from a different manufacturer however wherever possible, iPPY will endeavour to match the original manufacturer, and the features of the product originally offered. If this does happen, this does not indicate that the contract has been broken by either party as a suitable alternative will be offered. This is due to the fact that iPPY does not necessarily hold stock of every item that it sells as iPPY works with a wide range of third-party distributors who will deliver to iPPY’s customers on their behalf.

Retention of title clause

The ownership of all goods sold will remain with iiPPY Limited t/a iPPY until full payment for the goods has been received. The buyer agrees to allow the seller access to the buyer’s premises to collect the goods.  Goods will be collected and sold to repay the outstanding amount on the invoice should the buyer’s account fall into arrears of more than 21 days. Should the amount in money received from the sales on the goods exceed the amount of arrears, then the difference will be returned to the buyer within 14 days. Where the sale of the goods does not cover the amount of arrears on the customer’s account then the customer will remain liable for the arrears on the account.

Order Cancellation

In the unlikely event you do decide to cancel your order, any cancellation requests MUST be sent through to Cancel@iiPPY.co.uk – This is the only method to cancel your order.

Impact on Credit Score

Not keeping up with your repayments might cause serious money problems. We reserve the right to share our customer payment records with credit referencing agencies which can have an effect on a credit score. Credit scores can be seriously impacted should non-payments progresses to a County Court Claim.

Brand New Items

Unless otherwise stated (such as Mobile phones which are grade A refurbished – this is a non exhaustive list), all of our items are brand new. On some occasion, items are opened by our warehousing team and inspected before being resealed and sent out. The items are still brand new and you understand by purchasing through iPPY that this could potentially happen to an item that you have ordered. This is not a valid reason for any item to be returned as the item is still brand new and therefore in the described condition.

Sofa Specific

The following additional charges will apply for any failed deliveries or returns:

1) Failed Deliveries – Any failed deliveries will add a further £120.00 fee. This is as the sofa’s are deliveries directly from the manufacture’s and this directly reflects their failed delivery and warehousing fees.

2) 30 Day distance selling regulations for returns – The cost of collection of the sofa will be charged at a flat rate of £150.00. This is non-negotiable and will be taken out of any refund or added on if exchanging/swapping the item. If the item is not in a brand new condition as it was delivered, we reserve a right to deduct further amounts up to 100% of the value of the goods. For example if it is soiled/dirty/damaged and we’ve sold it for £900 and it’s now only worth £100, you’d only get £100 back. This is the requirement directly from the manufacturer and our hands are tied on this, once again making it non-negotiable.

3) By purchasing through iPPY, you accept that you have checked that the sofa will fit into the desired room, through your hallways/doorways etc. Returns on these grounds will be liable to a restocking fee, failed delivery fee and warehousing fee as all of our sofas are made to order. This fee is model dependant but will be no more than £300.00. Any eligible refund will be less this fee. All of our sofas are quality checked and sealed prior to delivery. If you decide to take the packaging off for any reason prior to accepting the item, you are accepting all liability for the sofa and you will not have the option to return the sofa. All of our items (and the sofas are no exception) are only eligible to be returned if they are unopened, unused and in the original packaging.

4) If you have purchased your iPPY Sofa across 3 separate purchases, (and therefore across 3 different purchase agreements)  if a payment is missed prior to your original delivery date and that payment isn’t caught up on in 24 hours, then delivery of your corner sofa will be delayed until the next purchase agreement has been paid off in full. This could mean a delay of up to, but not limited to 12 weeks if the payment isn’t caught up on in 24 hours.

Bank Holidays

Any payments scheduled for Bank Holidays will be taken the nearest working day before. Should you have any questions about this or want this confirmed, please feel free to give us a call.

Card Authorization Process

All first time customers will be required to undergo a card authorisation process, where the customers card will be charged 30p. This is part of the companies fraud prevention measures. Our systems will catch common fraud patterns such as card testing or trial abuse by evaluating payments holistically rather than in isolation. We surface previous related payments processed that match certain attributes like email address, IP address, or card number. The 30p charged to the customers card will be refunded back to the same card within 24 hours or the next following working day.   The 30p charged to the customers card does not form part of an invoice purchase agreement. This payment could be made over the phone with one of our client managers or online at the checkout stage.
