VALENTINE WIGS
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Welcome to Valentine Wigs!
We recommend that you pay particular attention to the section ‘Liability’ below, which sets out important limits and exclusions of our liability to you, and the sections ‘Cancelling an Order’ and ‘Faulty Goods’, which set out important information about your rights.
We also draw your attention to the terms and conditions of our return policy set out below at the section ‘Returning Goods’. Returns are a considerable expense in both shipping and administration. Prices have been calculated for us to guarantee the lowest prices for all our customers. Therefore, unless you are absolutely sure what to order, we strongly advise you visit a wig shop to determine which wig is best for you before buying online. If you are unsure of the colour we run a colour ring loan programme. Our returns policy is not meant as a preview service. We reserve the right not to supply to customers who repeatedly return orders.

PLACING AN ORDER
You may place an Order with us via our website or by contacting us via telephone. An Order constitutes an offer by you to purchase those Products set out in the order in accordance with these Conditions. Please check the order carefully and correct any errors before you submit it to us. You are responsible for checking that your order is complete and accurate and that you have provided us with all the information which we require to deliver the Products to you.
Where you place an order via the Website, you must accept these Conditions at the time you place the order with us. This does not mean that the order has been accepted by us – your order will only be accepted when we send you an Order Confirmation.
Where you place an order by phone, you will be directed to review these Conditions. You must accept these Terms in order for us to accept and process the order, and any order you place with us will be subject to these Conditions. You will receive by email either a link to a summary of the Order and these Conditions (which you must click to accept) or a copy of these Conditions and instructions for how you can communicate your acceptance of the Conditions.
Order acceptance and the completion of the contract between you and us will take place when we send you an email which confirms we have accepted your Order (Order Confirmation), at which point a legally binding contract will come into existence in respect of the Products set out in the Order Confirmation. If you do not receive an Order Confirmation (and you have not been notified that we have not accepted your order) please contact us using the contact information set out above.
We may not accept the whole or part of your order as a result of one of the following circumstances:
- the product you ordered being unavailable from stock;
- our inability to obtain authorisation for your payment;
- the identification of a pricing or product description error;
- where you have repeatedly returned orders to us in the past;
- where you have breached these Conditions in respect of a previous Order;
- where our suppliers are unable to supply the Products for any reason;
and where this happens, we will email you as soon as possible using the details you provided when you placed the order and refund any sums you have paid in respect of those Products we are unable to provide. We have the right to reject orders for any reason.
OUR PRODUCTS
You can find everything you need to know about us and our Products on our website.
Any pictures, images, drawings, descriptive matter on our website or in adverts produced by us, including of packaging, are for illustration purposes only, in order to give an approximate idea of the Product referred to in them. We do not hold out that our Products will be suitable for any particular use you may wish to make of them.
We cannot guarantee that the colours displayed on your device will match exactly the appearance of your Products. The colours of the Products displayed on our website may vary depending on what device you are using and your settings. If you are unsure of the colour or wish to check colours before placing an order with us, please refer to our colour ring loan programme.
Our Products are provided to you for your domestic and personal use only. You must not use them for commercial, business or resale purposes.
NEW TO WIGS OR HAIRPIECES?
It is almost impossible to buy a wig or hairpiece online if you are new to wigs. It is better to visit a wig shop and try a few on. This way you will be able to ascertain:
- Your head size
- The most suitable style and length
- Cap construction (e.g. wefted, monofilament, hand tied, lace front etc.)
- Good matching colour(s)
Buying online without any experience can be very frustrating!
We are an online store and not a wig shop. However, we can help by answering your questions over the telephone or by email. You will find us very friendly and willing to offer independent advice.
Please note: For hygiene reasons we respectfully ask that if you are trying a wig on that you may wish to return, you use a wig cap at all times (wig caps can be purchased on our site here Products – Valentine Wigs or you may use one of your own).
Please carefully read the terms and conditions of our Returns policy for details about returns and refunds.
PRICING AND PAYMENTS
Prices for our Products are set out on our website. The amount payable by you will be confirmed in our Order Confirmation. All prices are stated:
· in pounds sterling (£)(GBP);
· both inclusive and exclusive of VAT at the applicable rate; and
· exclusive of delivery charges (and any import duties in relation to international deliveries). Such delivery charges will be stated separately either on our website or any invoice we provide to you. For information on delivery options and costs, please see our website.
We accept: Visa, Mastercard, G Pay, Apple Pay, American Express, Discover, Diners Club, Maestro, UnionPay & Paypal.
Unless we specifically agree otherwise in writing with you, all Products must be paid for in advance. We may take payment from your chosen payment method before we send you your Order Confirmation, however we will hold any payment we receive from you to your order until we have provided you with an Order Confirmation.
If there has been an error on the website regarding the pricing of any of our Products and this affects your order, we will try to contact you using the contact details you provided when you placed the order. We will give you the option to re-confirm the order at the correct price or to cancel the order. If we are unable to contact you, we will treat the order as cancelled and notify you by email.
CREDIT CARD SECURITY
- We use secure third party payment providers for all online transactions to give you maximum security.
- We do not store any of your card information either electronically or in hard copy.
- Your bank statement may show your payment to us as SKILLEN TRADING LIMITED t/a VALENTINE; there is no reference to Valentine Wigs. This is for your privacy. We respect your confidentiality.
MAKING A PURCHASE
Making a purchase could not be easier. Just browse our store and add any items that you wish to buy into the shopping cart. After you have finished your selection, click on 'Checkout' and you will be asked for a few details that we need to be able to complete the Order.
We accept Paypal, Visa, Mastercard & American Express card payments. If you are shopping from outside the UK, place your order and your credit card company will convert the transaction to your own currency.
We take payment at the time of your order for two reasons. Firstly, for your security. We don't hold any of your card details. If we took payment at the time of dispatch we would have to hold your card details, which we believe is a security risk. Secondly, we 100% guarantee the price you paid at the time of the order with the manufacturer.
IMPORTANT: Discount Codes cannot be backdated to any order already placed.
SUMMARY OF THE ORDER PROCESS:
- We source all orders directly from the manufacturers' warehouses. This way we don't hold expensive stock and are able to pass the savings directly to you.
- When you place your order with us, we contact the manufacturer at 12 noon the next working day and place your order. The exceptions are manufacturers outside the UK. For European manufacturers like Ellen Wille and Gisela Mayer, orders are placed twice a week. For American Manufacturers like Jon Renau, orders are placed fortnightly.
- Usually within two working days you will be emailed the expected dispatch date of your order (except for American manufacturers). You can also check for status updates of your order in your online account.
- For American Manufacturers (Belle Tress, Estetica Designs, Gabor, HIM by HairUwear, Jon Renau, Raquel Welch, Hairdo and Kim Kimble), we place our orders with these suppliers weekly. We will confirm your expected dispatch date on a Wednesday/Thursday, once the supplier has confirmed the order with us.
- For products that are in stock we receive orders within two working days from UK suppliers. For manufacturers and suppliers located outside the UK it can take five working days to arrive with us. There are a small minority of collections that can take about two weeks. We will always let you know.
- For products that are in stock we receive orders within two working days from UK suppliers. For manufacturers and suppliers located outside the UK it can take five working days to arrive with us. There are a small minority of collections that can take about two weeks. We will always let you know.
- When we receive your order from the manufacturer we thoroughly check and discreetly package it.
- When we dispatch your order there is nothing on the outside of the package to suggest there is a wig or hairpiece inside.
- We operate under the company name Skillen Training Limited (trading as Valentine). This is to protect your privacy.
- Each day all parcels that are ready for dispatch will be collected by Royal Mail or a courier.
BACK ORDERS
All Products within our Order Confirmation are subject to availability, and we cannot guarantee that any Products will be available at any given time. Usually there is stock available however if this is a back order you will be the first to receive the new stock because it has been reserved in advance for you. You will be advised by email of the expected dispatch date.
If this is not acceptable please let us know whether you would prefer a replacement or a full refund.
DELIVERY
All our parcels are sent discreetly packaged. You can be assured that we carefully protect your privacy when you receive our products.
There is no mention of wigs on the outside of our parcels.
Your Products will be delivered within the delivery period specified on our website, depending on the delivery option you chose when you placed your order. We will deliver your order within 30 days of the Order Confirmation unless otherwise agreed between you and us. We will provide you with updates confirming the progress of your Order and the estimated date of delivery. Please note that, depending on the product ordered, delivery can take up to 3 months from the date of the Order Confirmation.
Please ensure your delivery details are correct as any undelivered orders will be returned at your cost.
All delivery dates stated on our Website, during the order process or in our Order Confirmation, are estimates only and we reserve the right to update you of any change or variation to any date for delivery from time to time. Time for delivery is not of the essence of the contract (unless we have agreed a specific delivery date with you). We are not liable to you for any losses you incur if delivery is delayed because of any circumstances beyond our reasonable control (for example severe weather, accidents or unpredictable traffic delays).
Please examine the Products at the earliest opportunity after delivery and notify us of any fault or damage as soon as reasonably possible.
Once a Product has been delivered to your address, risk in the Product passes to you and the Product will be classed as having been ‘delivered’. This means that you are responsible for the Product, and we are not liable to you if the Product is stolen or damaged after it has been delivered to you. This does not affect your legal rights if the Product is faulty or misdescribed. However, ownership of Products only passes to you when you have paid for them in full.
If you receive an incorrect item, you must notify us within 72 hours of delivery. Please contact our Customer Support team by email or telephone with your order details and a description (or photo) of the item received. Reports made after this period may not be eligible for exchange or refund.

YOUR LIABILITY TO YOU
If we breach these Conditions or are negligent, we are liable to you for foreseeable loss or damage that you suffer as a result.

We are not liable to you for any loss or damage that was not foreseeable, any loss or damage not caused by our breach or negligence, or any business loss or damage.
Nothing in these Conditions excludes or limits our liability for any death or personal injury caused by our negligence, liability for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that the law does not allow us to exclude or limit.

Any personal information that you provide to us will be dealt with in line with our Privacy Policy available on our Website, which explains what information we collect and hold about you, and how we collect, store, use and share such information.
