How To Shop

Rugbystore brings you the most comprehensive range of rugby products at the best prices. We have made shopping on our website as easy as possible.

Navigating the Website

The main navigation bar along the top of the page is split into broad topics to give you a good starting point for your shopping experience. Clicking on one of these main navigation items will take you to a ‘landing page’ for that section; from there you will get more options to take you further into the site, on to the product you are looking for.

Some of the top level navigation option will display a drop down menu when you hover over them. These provide a shortcut link further into the section – click on these to get directly to the product.

Searching

The search field sits at the top of the page; just type in what you are looking for, hit the arrows (or press enter) to see a list of products that fit your search term.

Refine your products using Filters

When you get further into the site, a set of filters will appear on the left hand side under the heading ‘Refine by‘. These filter options help you narrow down the products on the page so you can see only the stuff you are interested in.

Simply click in the check box of the filter you want to apply. The filter is applied automatically and the list of products shown on the right hand side of the page refreshes to show only the items that fit your filters.

To remove a filter you have applied, you can either: un-check the filter box, hit the ‘clear‘ button next to the filter type or, to clear all the filter, hit the ‘Clear All‘ option at the top of the filter box.

Adding product to your Basket

When you find a product you want to order, it’s a simple process to add it to your basket:

  • Select the size you want from the ‘Size‘ drop-down menu
  • Select the number of that item you want to order from the ‘Quantity‘ drop-down menu
  • Click the ‘Add to Basket‘ button
  • A message will appear to confirm the item has been successfully added to your basket
  • You now have the option to ‘Continue Shopping‘ on the rugbystore site, or hit ‘Go To Basket‘ to start the checkout process.

 

Checkout Process

We have made the checkout process as convenient as possible for the way you like to shop online. We have given you three simple options:

Express Checkout

You don’t need to worry about setting up an account or remembering passwords. You enter all your details and we send you the kit – simple!

Register a new Account

If you register your account details with us, we’ll remember all the repetitive stuff like billing and delivery addresses – you simply log in to your account with your email address and password, then pick the options you want to use for your new order. You can add new delivery addresses and edit your details easily.

For your added security, we do not store any credit card details for any of our customers – it is much safer that way.

Existing Customers

If you’ve ordered from us before and Registered your account (even if it was on the old rugbystore website), we already have your details stored. You just log in, select the options you want and we send you the kit.

Making A Payment

We take the security of your personal data and your payment cards very seriously indeed. To make sure there is no risk to you, we do not store payment details in any form.

We accept all major credit and debit cards for payment.

Credit card fraud is taken very seriously and we closely monitor payments for any signs of fraudulent activity. Any cases may be reported to the authorities and you may be liable for prosecution.

All payments are taken in pound sterling. If your credit or debit card company does not operate in Pound Sterling, your card issuer will convert this transaction into your own currency on your statement.

3D Secure

Our payment process uses the 3D Secure protocols. This provides an extra level of security for online credit and debit card transactions.

These protocols are administered by the two main Card Providers – Visa and MasterCard – who have their own branding for the 3D Secure process; Verified by Visa and MasterCard SecureCode.

Depending on the type of card you have, and the card issuing bank, you may be asked to enter an additional password for your payment card (or to set a password, if you have not already done so). This process is integrated into our own payment process and full instructions are given if this is required.

You can read more about these by clicking on the links below.

 

Confirmation of Your Payment

Payment is taken full when you click the Confirm button on the payment page on the website.
If there is a problem with the payment, an error message will explain the nature of the problem after you click the Confirm button.

If your payment is successful, a confirmation message will be displayed on screen showing your order as successful.
A confirmation email will also be sent to the account holders email address. This is an automatic email and does not indicate acceptance of your order. Your order is only accepted when it has been dispatched.

PCI Compliance

Our company, rugbystore.co.uk, is fully PCI Compliant.

The PCI-DSS [Payment Card Industry, Data Security Standard] is an information security standard that controls the way Card Holder information is handled by companies that process card based payments, like we do.

The Standard imposes strict controls on the way all Card Holder data is managed on our website and in our office buildings. this data includes not just the actual card number on your credit/debit card, but also all your personal information; name, address, etc.

This PCI Compliance will not affect your shopping in any way, but you can rest assured that we take the security of your information very seriously, and we’ve taken every measure to make this website a very safe and secure way to shop online.

You don’t have to give us all this information, but some of it is necessary so that we can perform our contract obligations with you.

However, we will do our best to honour your decisions and will always work to uphold strict policies and processes to protect your data.

We also take steps to anonymise and aggregate personal information (so that it does not identify you) and use it for the purposes including IT systems, research, data analysis, improving our website and other online properties, and developing new products and services. We may share this with third parties whose products are or may become available on our website or who provide us with support in conducting business and service improvements.

However, we share your data with the following categories of companies as an essential part of being able to provide our services to you, as set out in this statement:

  • Suppliers of products on the website where there is any need for ongoing services such as refunds, replacements or warranty issues
  • Companies that work in support of Rugbystore, such as payment service providers, warehouses, order packers, and delivery companies

Marketing messages

If you register an account with Rugbystore, we think knowing about the products we can offer is a fundamental benefit of your account. When you register, we will send you marketing messages unless you ask us not to, which you can do immediately or at any time.

If you shop with us but do not wish to have an account, for example if you give us your details when you order a gift, as you will have purchased from us we presume you will be interested in being kept up to date with our offers and that we therefore have a legitimate interest to contact you. You will however be able to opt out of this at any time.

We may send you marketing messages by email, post, text and push notification to keep you aware of the latest news from Rugbystore. You can choose whether or not to receive them in any of these ways by logging in and accessing the My Account settings on our website or by getting in touch with us.

How to stop marketing messages

  • Click the unsubscribe links in any emails or SMS messaging
  • Contacting the Rugbystore team on:
    • Email: sales@rugbystore.co.uk
    • Telephone: 01721 726920 – Monday to Friday 08:30 am to 5:00 pm UK time excluding bank and public holidays

Once you have done this we will make sure your profile is updated and you don’t receive unwanted marketing materials from us. Please note, due to our technical set up the impacts of any changes may take up to 48 hours to take effect – in the meantime we apologise for any inconvenience caused.

General Terms & Conditions

Updated 19 March 2021.

Tax Charges

We charge VAT at 20% on all orders where the charge is applicable, as specified by HM Revenue & Customs.
Whether we charge VAT or not is based on a combination of the billing address country and the delivery address country, and is calculated as follows:

Where the billing address is within the UK or the European Union and the shipping address is within the UK or the European Union: VAT is charged at the 20% rate on both the goods and the shipping charges.

Where the billing address is within the UK or European Union and the shipping address is outside the UK or European Union: the order is exempt from VAT on both the goods and the shipping charges.

Where the billing address is outside the European Union and the shipping address is within the UK or European Union: VAT is charged at the 20% rate on both the goods and the shipping charges.

Where both the billing address and the delivery address are outside the European Union: the order is exempt from VAT on both the goods and the shipping charges.

Customers in the Channel Islands are exempt from VAT on both goods and shipping charges if both the billing address and the delivery address are within the Channel Islands.

All other orders are VAT free and we will deduct the VAT for you before we send out your order. Some overseas BFPO addresses are entitled to VAT free shopping. If you qualify for this, you must supply (by fax) a signed letter from your company C.O. before placing your order online. Regrettably we cannot refund VAT on any BFPO order after it has been completed and dispatched.

Any customs or import duties charged by the destination country must be paid for by the customer. We have no control over these charges, and rugbystore.co.uk cannot be held liable.
