Cookies

Our website uses cookies to distinguish you from other users of our website. This helps us to provide you with a good experience when you browse our website and also allows us to improve our site.

A cookie is a small file of letters and numbers that we store on your browser or the hard drive of your computer if you agree. Cookies contain information that is transferred to your computer’s hard drive.

We use the following cookies:

  • Strictly necessary cookies. These are cookies that are required for the operation of our website. They include, for example, cookies that enable you to log into secure areas of our website, use a shopping cart or make use of e-billing services.
  • Analytical or performance cookies. These allow us to recognise and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around our website when they are using it. This helps us to improve the way our website works, for example, by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily.
  • Functionality cookies. These are used to recognise you when you return to our website. This enables us to personalise our content for you, greet you by name and remember your preferences (for example, your choice of language or region).
  • Targeting cookies. These cookies record your visit to our website, the pages you have visited and the links you have followed. We will use this information to make our website and the advertising displayed on it more relevant to your interests.

Disclosures of Your Personal Information

We may share your personal data with the parties set out below for the purposes set out in the table above.

  • Service providers acting as processors who provide IT and system administration services, payment processing services and delivery carrier services.
  • Professional advisers acting as processors or joint controllers including lawyers, bankers, auditors and insurers who provide consultancy, banking, legal, insurance and accounting services.
  • HM Revenue & Customs, regulators and other authorities acting as processors or joint controllers who require reporting of processing activities in certain circumstances.
  • Third parties to whom we may choose to sell, transfer or merge parts of our business or our assets. Alternatively, we may seek to acquire other businesses or merge with them. If a change happens to our business, then the new owners may use your personal data in the same way as set out in this Privacy Policy.

We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law. We do not allow our third party service providers to use your personal data for their own purposes and only permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.

International Transfers

Some of our external third party service providers are based outside the UK so their processing of your personal data will involve a transfer of data outside the UK.

Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the UK, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:

  • We will only transfer your personal data to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data.
  • Where we use certain service providers, we may use specific contracts approved for use in the UK which give personal data the same protection it has in the UK.

Data Security

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

Data Retention

We will only retain your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or reporting requirements. We may retain your personal data for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect to our relationship with you.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or other requirements.

Details of retention periods for different aspects of your personal data are available in our retention policy which you can request from us by contacting us.

In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your data: see below for further information on this.

In some circumstances we will anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes, in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

Your Data Protection Rights

Under data protection law, you have rights including:

  • Your right of access – You have the right to ask us for copies of your personal information.
  • Your right to rectification – You have the right to ask us to rectify personal information you think is inaccurate. You also have the right to ask us to complete information you think is incomplete, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.
  • Your right to erasure – You have the right to ask us to erase your personal information in certain circumstances. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law.
  • Your right to restriction of processing – You have the right to ask us to restrict the processing of your personal information in certain circumstances.
  • Your right to object to processing – You have the right to object to the processing of your personal information where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms.
  • Your right to data portability – You have the right to ask that we transfer the personal information you gave us to another organisation, or to you, in certain circumstances. You are not required to pay any charge for exercising your rights.

Please contact us at [email protected] if you wish to exercise any of your data rights.

You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other data rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we could refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other data rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.

If you make a legitimate request to exercise any of your data rights, we try to respond to you within one month. Occasionally it could take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.

How to Complain

You have the right to make a complaint at any time to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the UK regulator for data protection issues (www.ico.org.uk). We would, however, appreciate the chance to deal with your concerns before you approach the ICO, so if you do have any concerns about our use of your personal information, please contact us in the first instance at [email protected].

  • Your right to rectification – You have the right to ask us to rectify personal information you think is inaccurate. You also have the right to ask us to complete information you think is incomplete, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.
  • Your right to erasure – You have the right to ask us to erase your personal information in certain circumstances. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law.
  • Your right to restriction of processing – You have the right to ask us to restrict the processing of your personal information in certain circumstances.
  • Your right to object to processing – You have the right to object to the processing of your personal information where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms.
  • Your right to data portability – You have the right to ask that we transfer the personal information you gave us to another organisation, or to you, in certain circumstances. You are not required to pay any charge for exercising your rights.

Please contact us at [email protected] if you wish to exercise any of your data rights.

You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other data rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we could refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other data rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.

If you make a legitimate request to exercise any of your data rights, we try to respond to you within one month. Occasionally it could take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.

How to Complain

You have the right to make a complaint at any time to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the UK regulator for data protection issues (www.ico.org.uk). We would, however, appreciate the chance to deal with your concerns before you approach the ICO, so if you do have any concerns about our use of your personal information, please contact us in the first instance at [email protected].

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may make changes to this Privacy Policy. If we make changes, the updated Privacy Policy will be posted on this website, and the revised Privacy Policy will take effect once posted. Your continued use of this website after the posting will signify your agreement to the new Privacy Policy.

Substitutions

We will always try our best to supply exactly what you have ordered, including the correct protein, carb, vegetable, snack, or breakfast item. We reserve the right to substitute any ingredients that we may not be able to provide and reasonably exchange for a similar item. If you are not happy with any substitution, please contact us at [email protected]. We will not charge you for the incorrect Products (Products that you have not ordered and substituted for those Products which are not acceptable to you).

Variation of Terms

We may revise these Terms from time to time.

Every time that you order Products from us, the Terms in force at that time will apply to the Contract between you and us.

Whenever we revise these Terms in accordance with clause 6, we will keep you informed and give you notice of this by stating that these Terms have been amended with the relevant date at the top of this page.

Consumer Returns & Refunds

If any of goods are not fit for consumption on receipt of delivery, please contact us immediately with a picture of the faults so that we can investigate. You must not consume a Product that you believe is not fit for consumption. If you have any doubts, do not attempt to consume the Product and contact us immediately. We will endeavour to reply as a matter of urgency, but if the reply is delayed – please do not consume the Product. If your containers arrive broken or cracked in any way, then please report this to us via email [email protected]. with pictures of the damaged containers and name of the meal. We will then endeavour to send you a replacement with your next delivery or add a credit to your account for the meal.

Most of the Products on our site are perishable. This means that the right to cancel a Contract does not apply. However, we do understand that sometimes you may need to cancel an order. All cancellations/changes should be made by Thursday or Sunday by 10pm. If you contact us 48 hours before the date that your delivery is due, it may be possible to cancel a scheduled delivery, but charges will apply for anything cancelled after the cut off time.

For non-perishable goods, your legal rights to cancel still apply.

As a consumer, you have legal rights in relation to Products that are faulty or not as described. Advice about your legal rights is available from your local Citizens Advice Bureau or Trading Standard Office.

If you have returned a Product to us because it is either faulty or not as described, we will refund the cost of such defective Product in full, together with any applicable delivery charges or reasonable costs that you may incur in returning the Product to us.

You have a legal obligation to keep the products in your possession and to take reasonable care of the Products while they are in your possession.

Where applicable, refunds will be made to you using the same method and to the same account that was used by yourself to pay for your order.

If upon receipt of your delivery you find that the meals have not reached you in a satisfactory condition then please get in touch as soon as possible to discuss. We will request a picture and a description of the meal. Please notify us within 24 hours of receiving your delivery.

We will look into the issue reported with our production team and you will either be offered a replacement meal in your next delivery or credit on your customer account.

All credits or meal replacements are made at Prep by Gainz’s discretion.

Cancellation & Refunds

If we have to cancel an order for Products before they are delivered due to an event outside our control, or the unavailability of stock, we will contact you promptly. If we have to cancel an order in these circumstances and you have made any payment in advance for Products that have not been delivered to you, we will credit these amounts to your account.

Promotional Offers, Voucher Codes, & Referral Codes

We reserve the right to extend, withdraw or cancel promotional items, special offers or voucher codes, at any time for any reason without notice. All offers are subject to availability and while stocks last.

Voucher codes can only be used once per order. We may decline to fulfil any order including a bulk purchase of Products on promotion or included in a special offer. Only one code, special, offer or promotional voucher can be used per order.

You warrant that you are using a voucher code on our site in good faith. If you redeem or attempt to redeem a voucher to which you, or a third party are not entitled, you may be committing a civil or criminal offence.

If we make a refund for a Product that has been purchased on our site under a promotional offer, the refund will be based on the terms of the promotional price. Your statutory rights are not affected.

In the event that discount voucher codes are issued, they will have their own terms associated to them. These terms will be explained at the time the code is issued (if the code is issued electronically or physically, i.e. posted/delivered, then the terms will be explained in writing). If you are in receipt of a code that does not work, please contact customer services. If the code fails to work as a result of its individual terms and conditions, then this will be explained to you.

Any introductory offers are subject to terms and are available as one-off purchases only and we reserve the right not to honour introductory offers at our discretion.

A referral code is limited to one use per household and is only to be shared within your own network and not public forum. An account is limited to a maximum of 10 referrals only.

Voucher codes and referral rewards may only be applied to future orders and may not be exchanged or refunded for cash refunds. Please check if there any time limits to the discount codes and vouchers. This may have a time limit for use. No refunds, exchange or credit will be given for any portions of any unused voucher codes or referral reward past the valid time limit of use.

Delivery

Your order will be fulfilled by the estimated delivery date set out in the dispatch confirmation. Unless there is an event outside our control and we are unable to meet the estimated delivery date, you will be informed by ourselves or our authorised delivery carrier. All delivery dates and times are estimated and are not guaranteed.

Delivery will be completed when we, or our authorised delivery carrier deliver to your nominated address. If no one is available to take delivery, we, or our authorised delivery carrier will follow the instructions as per the order and this will be left in an area that the authorised delivery carrier deems safe. We will also endeavour to follow any delivery instructions you provide but this cannot be guaranteed.

From the completion of delivery, the Products will be your responsibility. You own the products once we have received payment in full including all applicable delivery charges.

Unfortunately, we do not deliver to addresses outside of mainland United Kingdom. However, you may place an order from outside the UK for delivery to an address within the UK.

Delivery times may vary, you may pick the next available estimated delivery date when placing your order.

If a customer refuses a delivery for whatever reason, the parcel will either be destroyed or automatically returned to the sender. Perishable items cannot be resent and refusing an order should be a last resort. Refunds will not be made for deliveries that are refused by the customer to the delivery company. Any cancellation should be scheduled directly via the customer account or direct to ourselves at [email protected]. before production.

The customer gives permission for the authorised delivery carrier to leave the parcel in a location deemed safe. This is however up to driver discretion and cannot be guaranteed.

If the customer is not available at the time of delivery, we will leave your delivery with a neighbour or in a convenient place.

We do not ship internationally, or to the Isle of Wight and Isle of Man. There are also areas of the Scottish Highlands that we are unable to deliver to. Please contact us prior to ordering for further information.

Pricing & Delivery Charges

The pricing of our Products will be quoted on our site from time to time. We take reasonable care to ensure that the pricing of our Products are correct at the time that the relevant information is entered onto our system. However, if we discover that there is an error in the price of the Products that you have ordered, please see clause 13.5.

Prices for our Products may change from time to time, but changes will not affect any order which we have confirmed with a dispatch confirmation, unless in the event of an error as per clause 13.5

The price of a Product incudes VAT (where applicable) at the applicable rate chargeable in the UK. However, if the rate of VAT changes between the date of your order and the date of delivery, we will adjust the VAT applicable that you pay, unless you have paid for the products in full before the change in VAT takes effect.

The price of the Product does not include delivery charges. Our delivery charges are quoted on our site from time to time.

Our site contains a large number of Products. It is always possible that, despite our reasonable efforts, some of our Products may be incorrectly priced. If we discover an error in the price of the Products you have ordered, we will inform you of this error and we will give you the option of continuing the purchase of the Product at the correct price or cancelling your order. We will not process your order until we have your instructions. If we are unable to contact you using the contact details provided during the order process, we will treat the order as cancelled and notify you in writing. In all circumstances, please note that if the pricing error is obvious, unmistakeable and could have reasonably been recognised by yourself as mispricing, we do not have to provide the Products to you at the incorrect (lower price).

Products, promotions, offer codes and limited time offers can be withdrawn from the Website at any time. Prep by Gainz is not liable to anyone for withdrawing these or for refusing to process an order.
