These SCB Group’s Terms and conditions set out the parties’ rights and obligations for the purposes of the sale of products and services by SCB Group to members of the SCB Group
website (hereinafter "the Website").
The Member hereby acknowledges that s/he has read and accepted the relevant rights and obligations. Any order placed via the Services (as defined below) is governed by these conditions.
Clause 3 - Terminology
All of the provided services (sale event, VPLounge etc.) offered by SCB Group
on its website are hereinafter referred to as "The SCB Group Services" or "the Services ".
The Services are available in the United Kingdom and in English.
Each physical person or legal entity, legally of age and wishing to be eligible for the SCB Group Services and capable to fulfilling these terms and conditions, shall hereinafter be referred to as a "Member".
Each acquisition or reservation of a product or a service made by a Member on the Website under the conditions stated in these Terms and Conditions shall hereinafter be referred to as "the Order".
​
Clause 4 - Referral
4.1. Access to the Services is either via registration or via prior referral by a Member. Referral by a Member is limited to a restricted circle (friends and family) with whom the referring Member must be both effectively and physically acquainted. As a result, the mass recruitment of referred people who do not fall within this framework, for directly or indirectly profit-making purposes, or even free of charge, by any means including via a website, a blog, online advertising or magazines or forums, or by using the names of brands which work in partnership with the Website or by reproducing a part of the Website’s catalogue, is strictly prohibited.
4.2. If SCB Group should become aware of any serious irregularities by a Member in the use of its referral system, it would then be able to take any appropriate steps to ensure that these irregularities cease, including the deletion of the Member's account.
Clause 5 – Placing an order and pricing information
5.1. Members may place orders at http://www.scbmarket.com, our Website.
5.2. The Member guarantees that s/he is fully authorised to use the credit/debit card supplied or his/her PayPal account used for the purposes of paying for his/her Order and that this credit/debit card or his/her PayPal account has sufficient available funds to cover all of the costs incurred as a result of using the SCB Group Services.
5.3. By clicking the "Checkout" button during the Order process, and after checking the contents of the Order in his/her "basket" and, where applicable, amending them, the Member hereby states that s/he fully and unreservedly accepts all of these Terms and Conditions.
After confirming the contents of his/her Order, the Member must make final confirmation by clicking the ‘Pay Now’ button and making payment. The sale agreement between the Member and SCB Group will only become final once the Order has been confirmed and the corresponding payment has been made. SCB Group will always confirm both Orders received from each Member and then their shipment, by e-mail.
5.4. Exceptionally and only for certain sales, the Member may, while a sale of a product or service is still open, after having placed and confirmed an order, add other products or services from the same sale in one of two ways:
Either by clicking on the “complete my order” link in the “My Account > My Orders” section,
Or by clicking on the “Add to basket” button of the Website.
The completion of this new order will follow the same process as described in the above Clause 5.3.
5.5. The tax-inclusive price for each product or service is shown on the corresponding product or service sheet. Members will be informed of the shipping costs for their Orders prior to final confirmation. Furthermore, once the Order has been confirmed, the prices and costs including VAT will remain accessible in the "My Account" section of the Website.
The two prices shown on the Website next to each product or service indicate the supplier’s usual recommended retail price or RRP (shown crossed out), and the SCB Group price.
The shown RRP has been previously checked and compared to the market reality and other suppliers’ prices by SCB Group. However, the RRP at the time of the product’s launch may be different from the supplier’s usual RRP at the time of the sale event on the Website.
When a product has been commercialized during several seasons by the supplier, the RRP provided by the supplier is likely to have varied. For this reason, SCB Group always uses, as a RRP, the lowest public retail price, provided by the supplier.
The ‘savings made’ information shown on the summary page when purchasing a product indicates the total savings across all the products as compared with the supplier’s RRP.
5.6. Any failure by the Member to adhere to the obligations entered into under the terms of these Terms and Conditions, and in particular relating to any incident involving the payment of the price of an Order, may lead to suspension of access to the SCB Group Service, or even the closing of the Member’s account according to the degree of seriousness of the action in question, without prejudice to any damages which SCB Group might seek. As a result, SCB Group reserves the right to refuse any Order from a Member with whom there is any such dispute.
Clause 6 – Conformity of products or services
6.1. The information given in each product listing is as provided to SCB Group by the suppliers from whom the products or services are sourced.
SCB Group will make every effort to ensure that the photographs of provided products or services on the Website are as accurate as possible. However, given the digital method used to display the products or services on the Internet, it is possible that the Member’s perception of the photographs of a product or service may not exactly match the product or service itself.
6.2. In the event of non-conformity of any product or service delivered to the Member, the latter may return it to SCB Group following the procedure stated in the "Help & Contact" section available on the Website.
The Member may ask SCB Group:

To deliver a product or service of equivalent quality and at an equivalent price, subject to stock and availability;
To refund the price of the product or service ordered within thirty (30) days from the request made by the Member (without prejudice to the Member’s right to cancel under Clause 8).
The cost of returning the product ordered and delivered to the Member, along with any delivery of another product, shall be covered by SCB Group.
6.3. In any case, these provisions do not deprive the Member of his or her right to cancel, as governed by Clause 8 of these Terms and Conditions.
​
Clause 7 – Availability of products and services
If a product or service is totally or partially unavailable after the Order is made, the Member shall be informed by e-mail of the delivery of a partial order or the cancellation of his or her Order.
In application of the United Kingdom’s Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 (the “Regulations”), if the product or service is not available the Member then has the right to ask SCB Group:

Clause 8 – Cancellations
8.1. Scope
Apart from the exceptions stated below and for the purposes of sales events, all products or services sold are subject to the Cancellations clause.

However, with regard to the Sale of Goods Act 1979 and under Regulation 28 of the Regulations, certain products and services cannot be subject to the Member’s right to cancel. In any case Members will be told about the products or services involved during the course of the sale.
The aforesaid cancellation right of 14 (fourteen) days does not apply, except if the parties agree to the contrary, to the following sale agreements:
To service agreements, where services are fully performed in the 14 (fourteen) day cancellation period after the Member has expressly consented to receive the services in that period and has acknowledged that they will lose their cancellation rights once the service has been fully performed. To agreements for goods or services for which the price is fixed according to the financial market variations which cannot be controlled by the supplier. To sale agreements related to goods which were made according to the consumer’s requirements or which were obviously customized, or which cannot be returned because of their nature.
To sale agreements related to goods which are likely to deteriorate and be outdated quickly (eg. dairy products). This category includes items with a kilometre counter or a time counter as any use will impact the item’s value and render any resale impossible.
To the sale of alcoholic beverages where their price has been agreed at the time of conclusion of the contract, delivery can only take place after 30 days and their value is dependent on fluctuations in the market which are outside of our control. To sale agreements related to sound or video records, or software, if they become unsealed after delivery. To sale agreements related to newspapers or magazines (other than subscriptions).
To the service agreements concluded by public auction. To sale agreements related to accommodation, transport, catering or leisure services, where the supplier undertakes, when the contract is concluded, to provide these services on a specific date or within a specific period. This category includes items such as theatre tickets. To sale agreements for the supply of sealed goods which are not suitable for return due to health protection or hygiene reasons if they become unsealed after delivery.
8.2. Terms
Prior to returning a product or cancelling a service, the Member must state his or her intention by completing the ‘Cancellation Form’ [click here to open the Cancellation Form] or using the "Help & Contact" section on the SCB Group Website, by selecting "Questions related to My orders".
This right may be exercised by sending the product back to SCB Group at the address stated in Clause 9, or for services by following the specific procedure for the service which will be stated on the Website.
The Member has 14 (fourteen) days to change their mind and cancel the contract (as described in clause 8.1 above) plus 14 (fourteen) days after the day on which the Member informs SCB Group of its cancellation to return the relevant goods.
When the Member wishes to use his/her cancellation right, pursuant to clause 8, the product must be physically returned to SCB Group and the Member is liable for any cost and risks involved in returning the product.
The Member will receive a refund within 14 (fourteen) days from SCB Group receiving the goods, or if earlier, 14 (fourteen) days from the day on which the Member supplies evidence of having sent the goods back.
The return of products or services will lead to refund of the price of the purchased product(s) or service(s).
SCB Group’s standard delivery charges will be refunded only in the case where an entire order has been either returned to SCB Group or cancelled by a member. Should a member wish to return selected items from an order, any shipping & handling charges will not be refunded.
The returning of an Order is shown as a negative transaction; this information is available at all times on the Website in the "My Account" section, which can only be accessed by the Member in question.
