2. Conclusion of the contract
Before submitting your order, step 5 of the ordering process ("Preview") offers you the chance to check all the details again (e.g. name, address, payment method, and items ordered) and make changes if necessary.
Once you have gone through the ordering process at zooplus.co.uk by entering the details as prompted, you make a binding offer to purchase the goods from zooplus AG by clicking on the button "Place order" in the section "5 Preview".
This offer is accepted and the contract thereby concluded by dispatching the goods you ordered. The contract is therefore brought about when the goods you ordered are dispatched. In certain cases, we may ask you for proof of identification and generally reserve the right not to enter into contract.
The details of your order are electronically stored. If you would like a printed copy, you can print out the "Order confirmation" which appears on your screen once you have submitted your order. If you have provided us with your e-mail address then you will also receive all the relevant details of your order by e-mail, which you can then print out directly.
3. Dispatch & Delivery
Deliveries can only be made while stocks last. In the very rare case that goods are not deliverable, we reserve the right to accept an offer in part. Delivery costs will be calculated on the resulting order value and charged only once.
Within the United Kingdom, we deliver to England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, and the Channel Islands. We invite customers from the Republic of Ireland to visit our dedicated shop at http://www.zooplus.ie.
We also offer international shipping to Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland (Republic), Italy, Luxemburg, The Netherlands, Poland, Spain (Mainland) and Spain (Balearic Islands), and Sweden.

8. Terms and conditions for Gift Vouchers
The following terms and conditions apply to the purchase of gift vouchers at zooplus:
Purchase of Vouchers:
Gift vouchers are valid for all products at www.zooplus.co.uk and for ancillary costs (e.g. postage & packing). All vouchers are valid for a period of three years from the date they are sent. The period of validity of individual vouchers may not be extended. First-time buyers must use a credit card to purchase gift vouchers; returning customers may use the payment method of their choice. zooplus AG reserves the right to accept only certain payment methods in individual cases. The invoice for the purchase of the gift voucher will be sent to the purchaser by email. The voucher will be sent to the recipient by email with a PDF attachment. The purchaser of the gift voucher will receive a copy of said email for confirmation. Gift vouchers may not be ordered together with other products at zooplus.
Right to cancel:
The declaration of contract may be revoked in text form (e.g. letter, fax, email) within two weeks without giving reasons. The two-week period starts upon receipt of this notice in text form. Timely dispatch of the cancellation is sufficient for the time limit to be observed. Please address your cancellation to:
zooplus AG, Sonnenstraße 15, 80331 München, Germany
Fax: 01234 430367
In case of effective cancellation the services and/or consideration received by each party shall be returned. Compensation may be due for services which cannot be returned, or can only be returned in part. The right to cancel is excluded if the voucher has already been redeemed.
Redeeming vouchers:
Gift vouchers may be used only once at the online shop http://www.zooplus.co.uk. Only one voucher may be used per order. The use of several vouchers for the same order (e.g. a combination of gift vouchers and offer vouchers/coupons) is therefore not possible. If the order value exceeds the voucher amount the difference may be paid by credit card, direct debit or payment on invoice. If the voucher amount is not used up upon redemption the difference is forfeited. There will be no cash payout. It is not possible to offset vouchers retrospectively against current or previous orders. Vouchers may not be exchanged or redeemed for cash and cannot be used to buy gift vouchers. Vouchers may not be sold on.
Transfer of risk/liability:
zooplus accepts no liability for loss or theft of vouchers and for voucher redemption by third parties without the knowledge or permission of the customer. Equally, zooplus will not be responsible for typing errors in the voucher recipient’s email address.
9. Miscellaneous
The terms and conditions of this contract are in accordance with German law, excluding UN-commerce law, even when ordering from or delivering to a country other than Germany. All points of these terms and conditions remain valid, even if one of the above points is invalid. We reserve the right to change these terms & conditions from time to time and recommend that you should look through them on a regular basis.
