Abandoned Products Policy
Abandoned customer goods, from this point referred to as “Abandoned Products”,.
Our “Abandoned Product” Policy means if a customer’s product e.g. wedding dress, veil, bridesmaid dress, or accessory, is left at one of our stores, and is “abandoned” by the customer for a period of 165 days, Bridal Reloved will recycle, donate, otherwise dispose of or sell the item as a loss recovery measure, to recover the cost of administration.
“Abandoned” in this instance means that Bridal Reloved will make “every reasonable best effort” to contact the customer by telephone/letter/email (where such methods of contact are available) during the165 day period, and if after this time, we have received no response from the customer regarding the item we will implement this “Abandoned Product” Policy and Procedure. Adequate information regarding this Policy will be made available for our customers and a copy can be viewed or requested at any time.
Under the Torts (Interference with Goods) Act 1977, customers who leave goods with Bridal Reloved are under obligation to collect them, and we are entitled to dispose of/sell the goods if they remain uncollected and are not otherwise the subject of a dispute. Before Brida Reloved can dispose of/sell “Abandoned Product” we must:
- Attempt to give the owner of the goods written notice of:
- Their obligation to collect the goods
- Details of where the goods are to be collected and the address at which they are held
- Details of any sum of money owing in respect of the goods at the time the notice is sent (e.g. outstanding payment plans, storage costs etc.)
- Notice of our intention to dispose of/sell the goods if they remain uncollected, and the date of the intended disposal/sale
The owner of the goods will be given 90 days from the date of contacting to reclaim the goods and settle their account. If the owner still does not collect the goods by the date stated in our second notice, we are legally permitted to dispose of/sell the goods and pass “good title” to any purchaser.
Bridal Reloved’s main objective of disposing/selling “Abandoned Product” is to recover the costs incurred by the Company (costs for the sale, storage costs, administration etc.). After Company costs have been recovered, if there is any amount remaining, this will be sent to the previous owner of the goods. If for any reason GES Group cannot contact the previous owner, the funds from the sale will be held for a period of 1 years, after which time the previous owner will be statute barred from suing for any proceeds from the sale, and the Act is not retrospective.
This Policy has been created and implemented to ensure clear lines of communication with our customers, and we appreciate their understanding and co-operation in this matter. Further information, advice and guidance can be sought from Citizens’ Advice Bureau (CAB).
