4.1.3 Any discount or promotional offer offered by us in relation to our Products is offered on the basis of our goodwill, and we reserve the right to refuse or decline to apply or honour any discount or promotion so offered at our discretion.
4.2 Without prejudice to clause 4.1, a discount or promotion will not be applied in circumstances which include, but are not limited to, the following.

4.2.4 where the order has already been placed and payment has been received without a discount code, for which you or a Third Party Promoter had responsibility for entry or transmission during the checkout process, whether this was not entered or transmitted in the first instance or where this was entered or transmitted incorrectly at the point of checkout.
4.3 Discounts and promotions which are provided by Simba or a Third Party Promoter are not transferable to any other person and are not redeemable for cash or credit.
4.4 Service fees of all kinds (where applicable) including, but not limited to, delivery, Special Delivery or Mattress Recycling Service fees, and any Insurance Offerings, are always excluded from all discount and promotional offerings whether or not any discount is calculated or applicable based on a cart value.

4.5.1 Where you or a Third Party Promoter supply in our shopping cart, or a third party integration may cause to be supplied in our shopping cart or otherwise into our system, a discount code, promotional code, voucher, coupon, token, or other means of transmitting information as a Third Party Offer which indicates that, based on a designated Third Party Promoter’s verification of your status, you are a member of a Consumer Group, and entitled to access a closed eligibility promotional offer within the meaning of this clause 4’s subclauses available only to members of a defined Consumer Group, you irrevocably warrant and represent to Simba that at the time of the purchase in which the Collective Discount is redeemed or in which a Collective Discount is sought to be redeemed;
4.5.1.1 you are a member of a Consumer Group as defined at clause 1.1.12 and your status as a member of a Consumer Group remains in full force and effect, and regardless of your verification status with any Third Party Promoter designated by Simba to conduct verification, you remain a member of the same Consumer Group in respect of which you have been verified previously, at the time of purchase, having made due inquiry. Examples of circumstances you must consider are provided at clauses 4.5.1.1.1 through 4.5.1.1.1.3 inclusive below.
4.5.1.1.1 An example person, person A, was 25 years of age in December 2024 and met no other Consumer Group eligibility definitions at that time. In December 2024, that person A was verified to be a young person within the meaning of clause 1.1.12 by a Third Party Promoter being an external entity designated by Simba to conduct verifications of Consumer Group status, at that moment in time. Another example person, person B, is a Major in the British Army in December 2024 and met no other Consumer Group eligibility definitions at that time. In December 2024, based on being a Major in the British Army, person B was verified to be a member of military personnel within the meaning of clause 1.1.12 by a Third Party Promoter being an external entity designated by Simba to conduct verifications of Consumer Group status, at that moment in time. Subsequent to their verifications by a Third Party Promoter designated by Simba to conduct verifications of Consumer Group status, Person A turns 26 years of age in January 2025 upon person A’s birthday, and Person B completes the retirement process involved in separating from the British Army in January 2025 and is no longer an employee of the British Army from the date of separation. In February 2025, each of example person A and example person B seeks to redeem a Collective Discount based on their respective prior verifications as each being a member of a Consumer Group by a Third Party Promoter.
4.5.1.1.2 The example person A referred to in 4.5.1.1.1 ceases to be a young person for the purposes of the Consumer Group definition set out at 1.1.12 on their 26th birthday. Person A does not meet the definition of a member of the young people Consumer Group in February 2025 because the example person A has not met the definition of a young person for the purposes of these Terms set out at 1.1.12 since their 26th birthday in January 2025. Person A derives no benefit from having previously been a young person, which is to say, Person A, whether a framed as a former or retired young person, derives no Consumer Group status for Person A’s previous eligibility.
4.5.1.1.3 In the same manner that the example person as given in the example in 4.5.1.1.2 who is aged 26 or more years of age in February 2025 was not a member of the young person Consumer Group after their 26th birthday in January 2025, person B, despite previously having been a person who was a Major in the British Army, retired from the British Army and completed the separation process in January 2025. Whether or not Person B was entitled by courtesy, law, or custom, to retain the title of Major of the British Army following retirement from the British Army, person B ceased to be a member of the military personnel Consumer Group. The example person B has not met the definition of military personnel for the purposes of these Terms set out at 1.1.12 since their retirement from the British Army in January 2025. As with Person A, Person B is not a member of a Consumer Group by virtue of any previous occupation or status, whether the person retired from that occupation or status, or that person otherwise ceased to be engaged in that occupation or to meet that status by passage of time or any other mechanism.
4.5.1.2 it is your genuine status as a member of a Consumer Group that has been verified by a Third Party Promoter designated by Simba to verify your status as a member of a Consumer Group, and not someone else’s present status or a fictional present status of yours or any alias as a member of a Consumer Group which has been verified by a Third Party Promoter designated by Simba to verify such status.
4.5.2 you are eligible to redeem a Collective Discount not otherwise than in accordance with any Collective Discount’s specific terms and conditions as described in a separate document stipulating the Collective Discount’s terms and conditions as part of a Third Party Offer; and
4.5.3 the third party provider designated by Simba which verified your membership of a Collective Group as part of offering you a specific Third Party Offer which is based on your membership of a Consumer Group is so designated by Simba to verify your status as a member of that Consumer Group at the time at which you make the redemption.
4.5.4 Simba cannot verify your status as a member of a Consumer Group. Simba must rely on a designated Third Party Provider’s assessment of your membership of a Consumer Group to establish your initial eligibility for a Collective Discount.
4.5.5 Simba does not control the processes used by any Third Party Promoter as regards the handling of your personal data. Simba has no influence over the process via which a Third Party Promoter processes their assessment.
4.5.6 Not all Third Party Promoters are designated by Simba to verify Consumer Group membership for the purposes of a consumer accessing a Collective Discount.
4.5.7 Third Party Promoters designated by Simba for the purposes of making Third Party Offers and those Third Party Promoters so designated to verify membership of a given Consumer Group for the purposes of redeeming Collective Discounts by Simba, and/or the third party entities designated by Simba for the purposes of verifying differing bases of eligibility for differing Consumer Groups, are subject to change without notice.
4.5.8 For information on entities designated by Simba for the purposes of verifying a particular Consumer Group’s membership as of today, or to confirm whether or not a Third Party Offer is genuine, you should contact us by emailing hello@simbasleep.com.

7.0 Right to cancel and return
7.1 As a statutory minimum, when you purchase Products from us via our Website, you have the right to cancel any contract for sale with us and return any Products, whether new or refurbished, within 14 days of delivery of those Products without giving any reason. However, this must be read and understood in conjunction with Clause 7.2 below.
7.1.1 Contract range products, including mattresses, which are offered only to trade customers pursuant to trade terms, are expressly excluded from these Terms under clause 1.1.4.1, and are excluded from consumer protections to the extent permissible by law.
7.2 Should you wish to return any pillow, pillowcase, mattress protector, fitted sheet, blanket, duvet cover, duvet set, or duvet, the Product must remain ‘as delivered’ and, where possible, sealed in the packaging in which it was supplied to you by Simba. In accordance with Section 28(3)(a) of the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013, we consider that specific Products which are listed in this clause 7.2 may not be suitable for return where they have been used because of hygiene reasons and, as such, we reserve the right to refuse any returned pillow, pillowcase, mattress protector, fitted sheet, blanket, duvet cover, duvet set, or duvet which has been unsealed after delivery, or which exhibits any evidence of use within the first 14 days.
7.3 We may, in accordance with Section 34(9) of the Consumer Contract (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013, deduct any value lost as a result of your unreasonable handling of any mattress, pillow, mattress topper (whether or not manufactured with Aerocoil springs), pillowcase, mattress protector, fitted sheet, bed linen, bed slat base, bed frame, blanket, duvet cover, duvet set, duvet, or Clothing Product (i.e. any use beyond what is necessary to establish their nature, characteristics and functioning), whether that product was sold as new or refurbished by Simba. If we elect to refund you the price paid before we can inspect the Products, and we later discover that you have handled them in an unacceptable way, we will require you to pay an appropriate amount for the value lost.
7.4 To exercise a right to cancel as set out in Clause 7.1 or to commence a return as otherwise prescribed in these Terms, you must clearly notify us of your intention to cancel and your reason within 14 days of the date of delivery (or within any relevant period prescribed elsewhere to commence a return or cancel an order as in these Terms) by email, phone or in writing; or by completing and returning the model cancellation form set out at the end of these terms. Such a notice must include: your name; address; order number; date of order; date that the relevant Product was received. You must also comply with Clause 9.4.

You must comply with clause 9.5, and its subclauses as may be applicable.

If you fail to communicate with us to coordinate this within 30 days, we may dispose of any such Product which is not in a returnable condition as set out in clause 7.2 responsibly.
7.9 Ensuring that any product is in a returnable condition in line with clause 7.2, irrespective of the way in which the return is carried out, is your responsibility. We may decline to accept any product which has been damaged in any circumstances prior to Simba or Simba’s agents taking possession of a Product (including, but not limited to, allowing a Product to become damaged, or where your actions contribute to or cause the loss or theft of any Product, such as where you leave any Product outside your premises for collection).
