Terms of Service
Effective from 11 September 2026
This website is operated by Kate's Treasures15, a small UK family business built around Dad's legacy, carefully chosen treasures and personal customer service.
These Terms explain the rules that apply when you browse our website, contact us, create an account or place an order through the Kate's Treasures15 checkout.
By placing an order through our website, you agree to these Terms together with our Privacy Policy, Shipping & Delivery Policy and Returns & Refunds Policy. Please read the individual product description and relevant policies before completing your purchase.
Our online store is hosted through Shopify, which provides the ecommerce platform used to display products, operate the checkout and manage website orders.

- You must not use the website for unlawful, fraudulent or abusive purposes.
- You must not attempt to disrupt, damage or gain unauthorised access to the website, checkout, accounts or supporting systems.
- You must not introduce viruses, malicious code or other harmful technology.
- You must not scrape, harvest or automatically collect information from the website without permission.
- You must not copy or commercially exploit our original descriptions, photographs, branding or other content without permission.

2. Products
Dad's Collection & Preloved ProductsDad's Collection includes preloved DVDs, Blu-rays, books, CDs and other items from a personal family collection built over many years.
Preloved products may show signs of age, previous use or storage. Individual listings include photographs and condition information to help you make an informed decision before ordering.
Wear, age related marks or storage wear clearly shown or described before purchase are not considered undisclosed faults.
New ProductsKate's Treasures15 also sells new products including gifts, home products, cleaning products, bath and body, home fragrance, jewellery, seasonal products and other everyday finds. Unless a product page clearly states that a purchase takes place on another website, your contract is with Kate's Treasures15 when an order is accepted through our checkout.
Personalised ProductsSome products can be personalised with names, dates, wording or other details supplied by you.
Please follow the instructions on the individual product page and carefully check all spelling, punctuation, capital letters, dates and wording before completing your order.
Changes may not be possible once preparation or production has started.
External Purchase LinksSome pages may contain links to products or services available through another retailer.
When you follow an external purchase link, you leave Kate's Treasures15 and complete the transaction with that retailer.
That retailer's prices, payment process, delivery terms, returns policy, customer service and privacy policy apply to the external purchase. Where applicable, Kate's Treasures15 may receive a commission at no additional cost to you.
3. Product Information, Photographs & Availability
We take reasonable care to describe products accurately and provide useful photographs, specifications and information.
Colours may appear differently depending on your device, display settings and lighting. Packaging, printed placement and other small presentation details may occasionally vary from the images shown.
Measurements described as approximate may vary slightly. Please check dimensions carefully where size is important.
Products are subject to availability and adding an item to your basket does not reserve it.
If a stock, description or pricing error affects an order, we will contact you as soon as reasonably possible. Where an obvious pricing error has occurred, we may cancel the affected order and issue a full refund.
4. Orders & Acceptance
When you place an order, you are offering to purchase the products shown in your basket.
An automated order confirmation confirms that we have received your order. It does not necessarily mean that the order has been accepted.
We may be unable to accept an order where:
- A product is unavailable.
- The price or product information contains an obvious error.
- Payment cannot be authorised.
- Delivery information is incomplete or cannot be verified.
- Required personalisation information has not been supplied.
- We reasonably suspect fraud or an unauthorised transaction.
- The order breaches a purchase restriction or these Terms.
- We cannot legally or safely supply the product to the delivery address.
If we cannot fulfil an order after payment has been taken, we will explain the situation and refund the appropriate amount to the original payment method.
5. Payments
Payments are processed through the secure payment services available through our Shopify checkout. Kate's Treasures15 does not receive or store your complete payment card number or card security code.
Payment must be authorised before an order can be processed. Your payment provider may carry out its own security or fraud prevention checks.
6. Offers, Discounts & Subscriber Benefits
From time to time Kate's Treasures15 may offer discounts, promotional codes, sale prices, subscriber benefits or other special offers.
Individual promotions and benefits may have their own minimum spend, expiry date, eligibility requirements or other conditions. Where these apply, they will be explained with the relevant offer.
Customers who choose to subscribe to Kate's Treasures15 marketing emails may be eligible for subscriber benefits while their subscription remains active. Any applicable benefit, eligibility requirement or condition will be explained through the relevant subscriber communication or offer.
Subscriber benefits may be linked to an active newsletter subscription and may require the same email address to be used at checkout that is connected to the subscription.
If you unsubscribe, benefits linked to an active subscription may no longer apply.
Discounts, promotional codes and other offers may not always be combined. Where restrictions apply, they will be explained with the relevant promotion.

- Applicable sealed DVDs, CDs or other audio, video or software products once they have been unsealed
