Wedding Gift Service - Terms and Conditions
How much does it cost to set up a gift list at The Craft Centre & Design Gallery?
The Craft Centre & Design Gallery have decided to offer this service, at customer
request, free of charge to all customers who are planning their wedding day.
How does the Wedding Gift Service work?
The Wedding Gift Service at The Craft Centre & Design Gallery is intended as
a "wish list". It is your chance to own an original piece of art and will enable
your close friends and family the chance to purchase a gift that they can be
assured will become a treasured possession, collector's item or heirloom.
We do not expect that your gift list held at The Craft Centre & Design Gallery
will be your only list but in addition to a list held at a more traditional
store.
We expect that your list will comprise of a maximum of ten items, listed in
order of preference.
What do we need to do?
The Bride and Groom are asked to make an appointment at the gallery. Appointments
are available on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. To make an appointment, visit
the gallery and speak to a member of staff, call 0113 2478241 or email information@craftcentreleeds.co.uk.
We recommend that this meeting will be within three months of your wedding day.
What will happen at the appointment?
At the appointment (which may last up to one hour) a member of staff will be
at your disposal to help you choose the items that will make up your list. We
will ask you to choose a maximum of ten items, each with a value of £100.00
or above. The items will be listed in order of preference, number one being
your most desired choice. In the event that a guest does not want to purchase
an item from your list, we will ask you to indicate two or three ranges of work
that you like and would be happy with any item from that range. The items on
your gift list will be reserved on your behalf for a period of two months. The
work on display in the gallery changes often and new exhibitions start at regular
intervals throughout the year, so it would be possible to update or add to your
list at a later date.
What items are
available?
You can make your selection from the many items priced at £100 or above on display
at The Craft Centre & Design Gallery.
Can I add something
to my list that is not on display in the gallery?
It would be possible to order or commission an item from a designer. There may
be a waiting time dependent upon the designers availability.
How will my
guests know about my gift list?
The gallery
will issue you with notification cards to inform your close family and friends
that your gift list is held at The Craft Centre & Design Gallery. We will require
you to estimate how many people will require notification of the gift list.
If we want something
expensive, can our guests contribute towards it?
We anticipate that a number of purchases will be made by a group of guests however
we would require the group to organise themselves and then to approach the gallery.
If a purchase is to be made by a group, we will expect the group to cover the
cost of an item in full as the gallery cannot accommodate any shortfall.
What will The
Craft Centre & Design Gallery do?
We will prepare your list and send you a copy to check that the details are
correct. If everything is correct, then your list will be ready to receive orders.
A copy of your list will be available on our website along
with colour pictures and further information.
How will guests
make a purchase?
Guests may make a purchase by visiting the gallery in person, where we accept
all major credit cards, cash and cheques. Or by making a reservation over the
phone or by email, we are unable to accept payment by mail order so we will
reserve an item and ask for a cheque to be sent through the post. All cheques
are to be made payable to "The Craft Centre & Design Gallery".
As the items on the list are expensive, we expect that most purchases will be
made by a group of guests. The group would need to organise themselves and cover
the cost of an item in full. We can accept payment from a representative on
behalf of the group or we could accept payment from each individual of an equal
share.
The Interest Free Credit Art Loan scheme may be available to individuals for
purchases above £100.00. This scheme enables a customer to purchase an original
piece of art and spread the cost over a period of ten months.
The purchaser's name and a personal message will be taken at the time of purchase.
These will be forwarded to the bride and groom for their wedding day and another
copy will be included with the gifts.
Once an item has been purchased it will be removed from the list.
Collection?
Guests may take their gifts away with them at the time of purchase or they may
prefer to leave for the Bride and Groom to collect. The Craft Centre & Design
Gallery cannot arrange for the delivery of items due to their fragile nature.
The items will be wrapped and boxed for safe transportation along with a list
of who has bought you what and the messages from each guest. The gallery will
store your gifts for a maximum period of four weeks after your wedding day.
Returns?
As you will have chosen all items on your list there will be no need for returns
or exchanges. The Craft Centre & Design Gallery does not give refunds but in
the event that an item is faulty or damaged the gallery will arrange for a replacement
item from the designer.
