Am I entitled to a refund? - Ann Summers Party

Jakg

No-one forced you to get drunk - being offered a drink is no excuse for doing something stupid.

I forgot to add come on fess up what did you buy so we can all have a snigger.

My ex GF brought something from an ann summers party they took so long to delivery she got fed up and cancelled the order she got a refund.
but i have just read this page http://annsummersparty.com/faq.htm that say no refund but it doesn't say whether you can cancel an order or not.

I spose though if it doesnt come under DSR then you may be contracted to pay whever they would chase you down though the courts is another question all togther.

I wonder what the appropiate examination would be for an ann summers toy under the DSR

I don't think DSR are going to apply here no matter what the status of the host is.

The point of DSR is to allow you the chance to examine goods that you haven't been able to do because they are at another physical location. By attending one of these parties, you ARE able to see and touch the goods, so the rights don't apply. QUOTE}

Ahh, but the demonstrator doesn't have the entire contents of the catalogue so therefore you are not able to see and touch all of the goods - it depends on how much they have purchased for their sales kit.

True, but the regulations dictate the method of PURCHASE as the trigger for the Regs. Even though you are ordering from a catalogue, you are still doing it in person (with the agent). The Regs therefore DO NOT apply.

As to who the contract is with, the general rule of thumb is who did you give your money to?
Does the receipt / order form have the Ann Summers name on it, or is it solely the name of the demonstrator? If the latter then you write to the demonstrator, otherwise it's Ann Summers.

Hope that clarifies things a little.

Hi,

I attended an ann summers party last night for the first time. I was not planning on spending much money as I am very strapped for cash right now but the hostesses kept filling up our drinks and ended up getting us all very drunk and I spent a fortune on things I would never normally buy!

I woke up this morning regretting it greatly and have phoned and text the hostess asking to cancel my order but I have not heard back. I wrote down my credit card details and as yet the payment has not been taken from my card. Am I entitled to cancel the order considering I have received no goods and she is not going to order them until Wednesday?

Any help from Ann summers representatives or anyone would be much appreciated

edit:

I would just like to point out that I take full responsibility for drinking too much but I was just wondering if there was any way to get out of the order! It was completely my own fault the state I was in and I am not questioning that.

I think you may have a get-out clause here, but you would be advised to seek legal advice.

The following people are not legally capable of making contracts and any contract they make is not enforceable:-

* A person under the influence of drugs or alcohol, or a person who lacks the mental capacity to enter into the contract, where the other party knew that the person did not understand that they were making a contract.
