Refund Payments: When you return goods, the credit adjustment will be made to the credit card, debit card, store card account, gift card or e-gift card used as payment for the original order or in certain circumstances you may be refunded by cheque. If you are returning your items in accordance with the CRD we will refund you within 14 days of receipt of the items to the specified returns address.

However, you can choose to register an account with us after submitting your order. Please see our Privacy Policy to see how your personal information will be used and stored. 

    ACCEPTANCE OF YOUR ORDER

    Please note that completion of the online checkout process does not constitute our acceptance of your offer to purchase products or services from us. We will notify you by email as soon as possible to acknowledge that we have received and are processing your order. Our acceptance of your order will take place only when we take payment from you and despatch the product(s) or on commencement of the services that you ordered from us. Prior to despatch of the product(s), M&S has the right to decline an order for any reason, including legal and regulatory reasons. 

    The duration of our contract with you will start from when you receive the order despatch email and last until the last day of your right to return the products.

All fields indicated as compulsory must be completed. Please note that we may collect and store your information, using an encrypted secure payment mechanism and will only use your information in accordance with our Privacy and Cookie Policy. Please be advised that where you select either Clearpay or PayPal as a payment method, we will pass certain information to the relevant party (name, address, delivery address, email address, and phone number) so that they can process your application for (in the case of Clearpay) and provide the service. Once this information has been passed to the relevant party, M&S shall remain a data controller and that party shall also be a data controller in relation to that data.

    All card payments are subject to authorisation by your card issuer. We take full payment immediately for all orders except items paid for by Clearpay and PayPal ‘Pay In 3’, in which case we take a single instalment upfront. For Clearpay, 25% of the total value shall be payable via Clearpay immediately and the balance paid in three further equal instalments (please find full details on Clearpay here) and PayPal ‘Pay In 3’ payments will be taken in three equal instalments, with the first instalment payable via PayPal immediately (please find full details on PayPal ‘Pay In 3’ here). For Christmas Food to Order, we take a deposit of 40 pounds or euros (depending on your location) at the time of ordering and the outstanding balance is due when you collect your order.

    All products ordered will remain the property of M&S until we have delivered to the address specified by you or they have been collected in store. If your payment (whether full amount or the first or subsequent instalments in the case of items purchased by Clearpay or PayPal ‘Pay In 3’) is not received and you have already received the products you ordered from us, you must pay for (in full) or return those products to us in accordance with our reasonable return instructions and in the same condition that you received them at your own expense. If you do not do this within 30 days of your order being cancelled by M&S, we may collect or arrange for collection of the products at your expense. We reserve the right to charge you for any and all damage to (or other adverse interference with) any products that are the subject of an unpaid order.

    For orders paid for using interest-free credit, we will share personal information (your name, phone number, email address and delivery address) with Creation so that they can process your application and, if approved, provide you with credit.

    Once this information has been passed to Creation, M&S shall remain a data controller and Creation will also be a data controller in relation to the data. See their terms and conditions, including data protection notice for full details.

All other orders can be collected from 12pm.

    International Delivery

    Due to customs, legal, regulatory and certain practical restrictions applicable to orders placed for international delivery, some of our products may not be available for delivery to certain destinations outside the UK. M&S reserves the right to define what can and cannot be delivered to which destination.

    Payment - Purchases will be made in Pounds Sterling. International credit card providers or banks will determine the exchange rate and may add an additional processing or administration charge in relation to such payment which international credit card holders will be liable to pay.

Additional taxes, fees or levies may apply according to local legislation and customers are required to check these details before placing an order for international delivery.

    You’ll find more information on international delivery, returns and refunds, and VAT delays in our help section.

    Delays

    Where the supply of your product(s) or service(s) is delayed or prevented for reasons beyond our control (for example, material shortages, import delays or higher than anticipated demand) we will make every effort to keep you informed but shall be under no liability to you for such delay or failure.

    CHANGES TO YOUR ORDER

If you amend or change your order you may find there are changes to your delivery timetable and / or the price you pay for the item (you will be charged the current selling price on the day you amend your order).


    YOUR RIGHT TO CANCEL

    If you are contracting with us as a consumer online or by phone, you have the right to cancel (under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 (the "Regulations")), all or part of your contract at any time up to 14 calendar days after the day on which you receive the goods or services you ordered.

    YOUR STATUTORY RIGHTS

    In addition to our goodwill policy, you also have statutory rights. In addition to the cancellation rights noted above, these include that the goods you purchase are of satisfactory quality, fit for purpose and as described. Within 30 days of the delivery, you may exercise the right to a refund if the product purchased is not of satisfactory quality, fit for purpose or as described. After the 30 day period, but within six months of the date of delivery and where the product is faulty, you are entitled to a repair or replacement or where that is not possible, or the repair/ replacement does not resolve the fault, a refund. After six months of the date of delivery, similar rights exist, but only if you can prove that the fault was present at the point of delivery.

Where your order has been paid for using PayPal and you wish to make a return (either as part of our goodwill policy or if your goods are faulty) during the instalment period (where using PayPal ‘Pay In 3’) or within the period of 365 days after purchase (where using any PayPal payment method, including ‘Pay In 3’), PayPal will provide any refund that is due to you.

    If you return the goods later than one hundred and twenty (120) days after purchase for Clearpay or three hundred and sixty-five (365) days for PayPal, please speak to our customer services team (www.marksandspencer.com/c/contact) and they will be able to help you in relation to any refund due.

  • The Waste Management (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) Regulations came into effect in the UK in 2005 and The Waste Management (Batteries and Accumulators) Regulations came into effect in the UK in 2009. These are designed to prevent and reduce the amount of waste going to landfill by promoting its re-use, recycling, and disposal in an environmentally responsible manner.

    The crossed-out wheelie bin symbol is marked on all electrical products and batteries that should not be disposed of in the normal waste stream but should be taken to an appropriate facility to enable their safe recovery and recycling.

     

    • In order to be eligible for Sparks, you must be a UK resident for the entire period for which you are a Sparks customer and unless you are an M&S employee, you must be aged 18 years or over. No corporate or business use or participation. Colleagues may be excluded from any aspect of the reward scheme at any time at our discretion. See individual Benefit terms and conditions for more information and qualification. Eligibility will be revoked and we may withhold Benefits if your account is terminated.

    • Your account is not transferable once activated. Activate and register your card at marksandspencer.com/sparks with your card number and email address to receive your Benefits. You will need to provide a valid mobile or landline number and postal address. Without a valid email address, you will not receive all the regular Benefits associated with Sparks. It is your responsibility to ensure that all your personal details are kept up to date and M&S will not be responsible for any lost, delayed or undeliverable communications if you do not do so.

    • As a Sparks customer you will have access to a variety of Benefits, you just need to use your Sparks card when you shop either online or in store (excluding BP Connect and Channel Island stores). Each Benefit is free to participate in. You will receive offers and promotions personalised to you. By using your card, you will also be eligible to receive a variety of Benefits such as: (i) receive the value of your shopping for free at the checkout for all transactions which do not include: a) alcohol in Scotland and Wales; b) gift cards; or c) Pay with Me* ("Qualifying Transactions"); (ii) the chance to get thousands worth of shopping for free in M&S e-gift cards; and (iii) product giveaways (such as product gifts from our in-store bakery and apothecary). We will also reward our most loyal customers with "little treats" as a thank you. Recipients of these Benefits are selected at random from all eligible Sparks customers. Inclusions and exclusions will apply and are subject to change. Details of the current Benefits can be found here and this will be updated from time to time.

      *Pay With Me is a convenient and optional way to pay for your shop in selected participating stores where an M&S colleague can process the payment for your shop on a handheld device away from a fixed till point.

      Benefits may change from time to time, they are subject to availability and if necessary may be substituted by M&S. Product giveaways are redeemable in store only and may be time limited. We reserve the right to withhold Benefits due to eligibility. Discount card holders shall not be entitled to receive the e-gift card Benefit. Benefits are non-exchangeable, non-transferable and no cash alternative is offered. M&S reserves the right at any time in its sole discretion to cancel, void, suspend, modify or supersede any of the Benefits at any time if it believes that the draw to select a Benefit recipient is not capable, or is likely not to be capable, of being conducted fairly or as specified within these terms and conditions due to events beyond its control (including, without limitation, a virus, a computer bug, or other technical issue or unauthorised human intervention or any other cause beyond the reasonable control of M&S that could corrupt or affect the administration, security, impartiality or normal course of the draw). Benefits are awarded randomly by an algorithm to a prescribed average and therefore the frequency with which each Benefit is awarded may vary temporarily from the value stated, or we may change the frequency from time to time where that change is to your benefit. For the avoidance of doubt, the promoter of the Benefits is M&S, of Waterside House, 35 North Wharf Road, London, W2 1NW.

      M&S shall have no liability for any delay and/or failure to perform any obligation to the intended recipient of any Benefit or other entrants, including those that is caused by: (a) technical problems of any kind which may limit or prevent any person’s participation in any draw for a Benefit or the awarding of any Benefit; (b) any loss or damage arising from or in connection with the allocation of a Benefit; (c) any act or omission of any third party; or (d) any other events beyond M&S’ control that may cause the allocation or awarding of the Benefits to be disrupted or corrupted. Nothing in these terms and conditions shall limit in any way M&S’ liability for death or personal injury caused by its negligence.

      If you select Sparks-supported charity or good cause at registration, M&S will donate 1p to your chosen cause for each transaction you make with us. 1p per such transaction is donated by Marks and Spencer plc to The Charities Aid Foundation (registered charity number 268369) which will, in its discretion pass on your donation to your chosen cause. You may change your chosen cause at any time.

    • You can terminate your account online at marksandspencer.com within your account by giving us notice. On termination any and all benefits accrued will be lost. We can terminate your account immediately if at any time, you are, or we reasonably suspect you may be, acting fraudulently, criminally or are otherwise in breach of these terms. If your account has been inactive for 12 months we will review it and, in our discretion, may choose to suspend your account. Please note that, if your Sparks account is terminated, any Sparks Pay account that you have entered into with Marks & Spencer Financial Services plc ("Sparks Pay"), will also be terminated.

    • We can make changes to the eligibility requirements, the Benefits, and the terms of the reward scheme at any time if we believe, in our reasonable discretion, that the change is to your benefit, or is required for the continuing administration of the reward scheme. Material changes will be communicated to you via the M&S app, SMS, email or postal communication where we have been provided with contact details by you. In the event that you are no longer eligible for the reward scheme as a result of changes made to the eligibility requirements, your account will be terminated following two months' notice of the changes. The preceding sentence will only apply where you become ineligible for the reward scheme in its entirety due to changes made to the eligibility requirements.

      We reserve the right to withdraw or cancel the reward scheme at any time giving customers two months' notice of termination in writing (via email or postal communications). Termination or withdrawal of the reward scheme, as well as changes to the eligibility requirements that mean you are no longer eligible for the reward scheme, will also result in withdrawal or cancellation of any linked Sparks Pay. These terms are correct as of April 2022, and may be updated from time to time by M&S. Current terms are available at marksandspencer.com.
