Terms and Conditions

Summary of your key rights

By law, the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013, SI 2013/3134 say that we must give you certain key information before a legally binding contract between you and us is made (see below). We will give you this information in a clear and understandable way. Some of this information is likely to be obvious from the context. Some of this information is also set out in this contract, such as information on our complaint handling policy. The Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 say that up to 14 days after receiving your goods, in most cases, you can change your mind and get a full refund.

The Consumer Rights Act 2015 says goods must be as described, fit for purpose and of satisfactory quality. During the expected lifespan of your product you’re entitled to the following:

up to 30 days: if your goods are faulty, then you can get a refund;
up to six months: if they can’t be repaired or replaced, then you’re entitled to a full refund, in most cases;
up to six years: if the goods do not last a reasonable length of time, you may be entitled to some money back.

In order to action any of the above rights (if applicable), we ask that you first contact our team as soon as reasonably practical after having become aware of the fault or issue.

This is a summary of some of your key rights. For detailed information from Citizens Advice please visit www.citizensadvice.org.uk or call 03454 04 05 06.

The headings used in this agreement are included for convenience only and will not limit or otherwise affect these Terms.
When you place an order with us, you are making an offer to buy goods. We will send you an e-mail to confirm that we have received your order.
In the unlikely event that the goods are no longer available, or that we have made a pricing mistake, we will advise you of this.
Images of products on this website are for illustrative purposes only. Your goods may vary slightly from the image shown on the website and will not include any of the pictured accessories, unless stated in the specification of the goods. Whilst some game components may be shown assembled they may require assembly by you.
We have made every effort to display as accurately as possible the colours of our products that appear on this website. However, we cannot guarantee that your monitor's display of any colour will accurately reflect the colour of the actual goods.
Whilst we try to be as accurate as possible, all information provided is approximate and is provided in good faith.

By placing an order with us, you agree to and accept these terms, as well as our privacy policy and the terms of website use.
We shall not be liable to you or to any third-party for any modification, price change, suspension or discontinuance of the Service.

3. Advertised Prices

Prices are valid at the time of placing the order but are subject to change without notice and do fluctuate.
Although we make every effort to ensure advertised prices are correct, there may be occasions where an incorrect price is advertised. Under these circumstances we are not obliged to supply goods at the advertised price where there is an error in any said price.
Where there is no MSRP (manufacturer’s suggested retail price) for a product, we have priced using a calculation typical to the Board Game industry.

Please note that prices advertised are VAT inclusive (where applicable). We cannot currently supply to destinations outside of the UK but are hoping to do so in the future.
Promotional prices only apply during the period stated and are subject to stock availability.
Shipping costs are calculated at checkout.
In cases where your gift voucher is lost or stolen, Boardgamist Limited is unable to replace or reimburse the voucher. Boardgamist cannot be held responsible for the any gift voucher lost as a result of theft or fraud.
Should you return product(s) purchased using a gift voucher for an exchange of a lesser value, any refund amount due will be credited by a separate voucher.
If a partial refund is made for any purchase using a gift voucher and another method of payment, then any refund amount owing will be credited by gift voucher in the first instance.

4. Orders

We use secure payment facilities for online purchases. Payments by debit and credit cards are handled through the PayPal portal.
You can use our website to place an order by selecting the product you wish to buy and adding it to your basket. Items you do not require can be removed from your basket at any time.
Carriage charges will be shown prior to you placing your order.
You will be required to pay for the goods in full at the time of ordering.
Once your order has been confirmed, changes may not be possible or may incur additional charges or delays.
Once your order is complete we will notify you of the dispatch date.
All pre-orders will have their payment taken at the point of ordering.
You agree to provide current, complete and accurate purchase and account information for all purchases made at our store. You agree to promptly update your account and other information, including your email address and credit card numbers and expiration dates, so that we can complete your transactions and contact you as needed.
To ensure that your credit, debit or charge card is not being used without your consent, we will occasionally validate name, address and other personal information supplied by yourself during order with appropriate third party databases. Acceptance of these terms and conditions indicates acceptance by you of these checks being carried out. Personal information provided by you may be disclosed to a registered Credit Reference Agency, where a record may be kept of this personal information. This is carried out only to confirm your identity in preventing fraud and credit checks are not performed. Your credit rating will remain unaffected.
It is an offence to buy an age restricted title if you, or any third party intended recipient, is under the required minimum age.

5. Gift vouchers and reward program

Use of your Boardgamist gift voucher constitutes acceptance of our Terms and Conditions.
We maintain the right to cancel the gift voucher in situations where it is deemed necessary to do so.
The gift voucher cannot be exchanged for cash or redeemed against the purchase of another voucher.
If the total to be refunded is more than originally paid by gift voucher, then any remaining refund balance will be refunded to the other method of payment used (debit/credit voucher).
These conditions are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales. You agree, as we do, to submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts.
Purchasers must be signed in to qualify for the benefits of our reward program as points cannot be awarded at a later date.
Promotion voucher codes will always be accompanied by an expiry date and will not be valid after this point. Expiry dates are always at midnight GMT on the date of expiry. We reserve the right to withdraw voucher codes at any time and for any reason.

6. Delivery

For shipping we use Royal Mail, Parcelforce, and Hermes to deliver our goods.
Delivery of goods that are in stock will usually be within the carrier’s specified delivery time depending on the service chosen.
In stock items will usually be delivered in the UK within 3-5 working days of acceptance of order.
We are unable to hold goods that are in stock pending the arrival of pre-ordered goods.
New, pre-order items are dispatched as soon as stock becomes available.
Any item on back order can be cancelled at any time up to the point of despatch.
Your order may be delayed if the item is not in stock with our suppliers.
Some items may be unavailable, and the current stock status is approximate.
If an item is reported as not arrived, we reserve the right to open an investigation with our chosen courier service provider before declaring the item lost. We similarly reserve the right to resend the item as opposed to issuing a refund. If an offer is made to resend but declined, we reserve the right to deduct 50% from the value of the refund in order to cover losses in such unusual circumstances. It is also company policy not to entertain future orders from customers reporting goods missing, until goods are returned to us as undelivered.

Orders received before midday Monday to Friday will be dispatched on the same day and should be delivered the following working day.
Orders placed after midday will be dispatched the following working day and should be delivered the day after.
Delivery cannot be guaranteed at weekends and bank holidays.
Orders placed on a Friday before midday will be delivered on the next business day (usually Monday).

The buyer may cancel any order for goods for any reason up to the point of dispatch for a full refund.
The buyer can change their mind within 14 days of receiving their order to qualify for a return.
