Terms of Service
PART 1 – GENERAL USER TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Welcome to Slip. Before you start enjoying our platform we have to set out the rules which will govern Slip’s relationship with you. We have done our best to make themas easy to understand as possible but if you have any questions at all, feel free to contact us here.
WHO WE ARE
We are Slip Technology Limited, a company incorporated and registered in England and Wales with companynumber 13370492. Our registeredoffice is at 120 New Cavendish Street, London, W1W 6XX (referred to as Slip, we, our and us).
Slip is turning receipts paperless. Never worry about a lost receipt again, make your shopping more sustainable, and gain access to exclusive offers and discounts, all with Slip. Thank you for using our service.
THESE TERMS
In these terms and conditions (together with the documents referred to in them) (the Terms), we’ll refer to our Website, which refers to all our sites located at or accessible through www.slipreceipts.com, our Mobile Application which is accessible via our Website on desktop and mobile devices, and through selected app stores (including without limitation the Apple App Store and Android Playstore), and our Client Dashboard, together as our Platform. References to our Website include our owned sites, but do not include links to third-party sites (such as those of Clients and the sites of our partners).
These Terms govern your relationship with us when you access our Platform, so please make sure to read them carefully before you start accessing thePlatform. Once you start using our Platform you are taken to have understood and accepted these Terms. We don’t expect you to memorise these Terms but they will form a binding agreement between you and us so if you have any questions, please let us know.
With Slip, you are either a retailer issuing digital receipts (a Client) or a customer making purchases with Clients (a Customer). Clients and Customers are collectively referenced in these Terms as Users (and each one a User).
In summary and subject to theseTerms:
As a Customer, you can useSlip to receive a digital copy of your receipt on our Platform (a Digital Receipt) when shopping with a Client and completing a transaction with them(a Transaction), by scanning a QR code in the Client’s store (a Store)or, once available, when making a purchase online. You can then use the DigitalReceipt, subject to each Client’s own policies, when making returns. Slip may also enable you to receive promotional offers (Offers) with our selected partners.
As a Client, you can issueDigital Receipts to Customers through our Platform after they have completed aTransaction with you, and use your Dashboard to access and export anonymised purchasing data and insights. You can also use our Platform to see when a refund has been issued against a Digital Receipt.
Part 1 of these Terms apply to all Users, Part 2 apply specifically to Customers, and Part 3 apply specifically to Clients.
OTHER APPLICABLE TERMS
TheseTerms also include our Privacy Policy (the Privacy Policy). You should read the Privacy Policy as it sets out the terms on which we process (collect, use, share, etc.) any personal data we collect from you or that you provide to us and how we will communicate with you via the Platform.
CHANGES
We may from time to time amend these Terms to ensure that we remain compliant with relevant laws and regulations or to keep up to date with improvements or changes we might make to the services and experiences we can offer to you via our Platform. If we make significant changes to these Terms or to the services within thePlatform, we will let you know what these significant changes are and you may contact us if you have queries regarding these significant changes.
We don't expect you to check these Terms every time you use our Platform but we ask that you check this page from time to time to take notice of any changes we have made. This is important because by continuing to use any of the Platform after changes are made, you are accepting those changes and will be bound by them.
Equally, we may make changes to our Platform from time to time, and all Users understand we are entitled to do so at our discretion.
OUR ROLE IN TRANSACTIONS
Our Platform exists, amongst other things, to turn receipts paperless, allowing Clients to issue Digital Receipts and for Customers to be able to access their receipts digitally, all in one place. Once a connection between a Client and a Customer has been made and a Transaction completed between the Client andCustomer, our involvement is limited to the operations of our Digital Receipts Platform.Anything beyond that is beyond our reasonable control.
As such we cannot be held responsible for the actions or omissions of Clients,Customers or Users generally outside of the Platform. For example, when a Client makes a sale, the applicable Client is entirely responsible for delivery upon that sale and any liabilities of any nature arising under it. When a Customer makes a purchase from a Client, both parties acknowledge that they form a contract between them which Slip is not a party to. Slip is providing a digital service related to that arrangement, but cannot guarantee the performance by either party of their respective obligations under it and will hold no liability for failure to perform or inadequate or negligent performance.Subject to applicable law, Slip holds no liability to Users beyond what is stated in these Terms. Please note that all terms of the Consumer Contracts(Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 or other applicable legislation in respect of cooling-off periods or similar relating to sales concluded between Clients and Customers apply only between the applicableClients and Customers. All disputes or disagreements arising between Clientsand their Customers must be concluded off the Platform, subject to Slip’scomplaints procedure.
Customers understand that their Transactions with Clients are subject to each Client’s own terms of business. All Users understand and agree that Slip is not responsible for reviewing or verifying Client’ terms of business (or equivalent), and each Client agrees to indemnify Slip in full for all losses, costs and expenses arising out of any claim made against Slip in respect of an actual or potential breach by a Client of its own terms of business. If Users wish to make claims of any nature or any form of claim beyond the remit of the Slip complaints system, then any such claim must be made off the Platform with the relevant Client or competent authorities.
PROMOTIONAL OFFERS
We may from time to time provide certain promotional offers to Users, for example as one-off promotions or as part of a loyalty programme, either for access to paid Platform features, or promotions with our registered Clients or other commercial partners (Promotional Offers). You agree that you will use Promotional Offers only in accordance with these Terms, or any additional terms we put in place for the relevant Promotional Offers. Our role inPromotional Offers for products and/or services of our Clients or other partners is as set out in the previous section.
Slip reserves the right to withhold or deduct Promotional Offers or other features or benefits at our discretion, including without limitation if we believe that the use or redemption of a Promotional Offer was in error, fraudulent, illegal, or in violation of the terms of the Promotional Offer or of these Terms.
Please note that whilst we will seek for all listed Promotional Offers to be current and active, there may be instances where a listed Promotional Offer has expired or has been de-activated by the relevant Client. We will have no liability to you where you have entered into a Transaction in anticipation of redeeming a particular promotion, but it is no longer active for any reason.
